ANGLO-AMERICAN AIR MANEUVERS i
(Hugo S. Sims)
The biggest air maneuvers in Great Britain since the
war took place in June. For the first time in peace, for
eign air units were engaged in “battles” designed to
test offensive and defensive tactics with the greatly im
proved speeds of modern jet planes.
The United States was represented by super-fort
resses, joining with British bombers in playing the role j
of the attacking forces. For the defense, American jet
fighters operated alongside R. A. F. planes. In addition,
a Netherland squadron of Gritish-made jet planes oper
ated with the defending forces and operation room per
sonnel from France, Belgium and the Netherlands took
part in the exercises.
The presence of American planes in such an opera
tion would have produced loud howls of dismay in this
country not long ago. That our participation in joint
exercises with the British and the nations of Western
Europe has not aroused loud protests indicates that the
people of the United States are, at last, conversant with
the world situation.

CHILD LABOR REGULATIONS
Regulations controlling the employment of minors in
the Territory were issued today by Commissioner of
Labor Henry Benson.
Child labor rules, to become effective July 16, were
drawn up by the Department of Labor as stipulated in
the statute on child labor passed by the last session of
the Territorial Legislature.
Issuing of regulations follows advisory hearings held
in Juneau, Anchorage and Fairbanks during the past
month by the Department of Labor, and a final hearing
held at the labor office.
As provided for in the child labor statute, the Depart
ment of Labor has defined occupations to be considered
“dangerous to life and limb, or injurious to the health
or morals of minors and employment of minors under
the age minimums.”
Rules incorporate all provisions of the Federal regu
lation affecting child labor, Benson said.
LIQUOR PROVISION—Included in new rulings is a
provision prohibiting the selling or serving of intoxicat
ing liquors by any person under 21 years.

LITTLE “HONOR OR INTEGRITY”
A recent meeting, sponsored by the Civil Rights Con
gress of New York, was featured by denunciation of the
trial of eleven communists in New York, with orators
making the assertion that even non-communists ought
to fight, for the freedom of the communists in order to i
prevent subsequent suppression of their liberties.
Eugene Dennis, secretary-general of the communal
party, asserted that “it had no fear for itself because its
members know how to preserve its honor and integrity,
replenish its ranks and strengthen its fighting capac
ity.” The “honor and integrity” phrase arouses our in-1
terest because, as we understand it, the essence of the
communist campaign, in every country, is to secure po
sitions of leadership under what amounts to false pre
tenses.
The use of the democratic privileges in order to
quire power, supposedly for the purpose of safeguard
ing the rights of all citizens, followed by overt acts de
signed to suppress the liberties of non-communists, does
not impress us as a program involving either honor or
integrity.
Advertise, brother, advertise; wiser merchants than
you have done it to their advantage. . . . There is no use
to get mad with those who haven’t got as much sense as
you have and therefore seem unable to see things as
you see them. . . . Selfishness never built a town into a
city. Let all the people of Nome work together, unsel
fishly, and we will be on the right road to progress. . . .
The world economic situation might not need so many
American dollars, as a gift, if the same American dol
lars were used in the purchase of the world’s goods. . . .
When you buy something from a Nome merchant, just
remember that he cannot make a profit on the deal un
less you pay him for the purchase.
