Lieut. Commander Ziroli. add-1
ressing the Chamber of Commerce
at its luncheon recently, praised
Juneau for its airmindedness and J
remarked that we ought also to!
be water minded. And while that
la the natural attitude for ono
who is a part of the command o(
the Navy's submarine fortes. It ;a
one that all of us understand and
appreciate.
Juneau, in fact ail of Alaska, is
Navy minded. That includes the
great battleships, the cruisers,
destroyers, the air force and air
plane carriers and the submarines.
None realize better than Alaskans
that if war comes again to the
United States it will not be from
across the Atlantic bu t the Pac
ific Ocean. Living on the shores
•of that great body of water we
are more familiar with what goes
on in the lands bordering it. We
recognize the tremendous difficult
I
ies of defense of the American j
Pacific coastline. We know that ^
It is to the Navy that the nation!
must look for its defense.
These facta have made us Navy

coasts the United Stated must, if
it . is to be fully prepared for
eventualities. establish a great
naval base. When the London
disarmament treaty forbade that
action during the life of the con
vention, and it has to be renewed
next year, all of the signatory
nations knew that was so. All
inldlcations are that . our own
Government is fully aware of the
fact now, and la hot going to
make tile same concession again.
Secretary of Navy 9wanson has
already intimated as much by
publicly announcing that the ques
t
tion of an Alaskan naval base Is
being given consideration.
Almost at the same time he
was declaring that in the future
the .Navy would spent more time
in Alaskan waters, Lieut. Com
mander Ziroli was saying the
same thing in almost identical
words to the Chamber of Commer
ce here. Maybe the current visit
ation of the submarine division
has no connection with the con
sideration of a naval base in the
Territory, and the airplane expedi
tion, now enroute north, just a
casual and unimportant trip. That
is as may 'be. If the Navy De

It is inevitable, however, that both

will be wasted. At least we are

DID YOU KVKR STOP TO THINK
By Edson R. Waite
That newspaper advertising is,
the only worth while kind to get
quick action and the greatest re
turns for your investment.
The amount of business done
by any concern depends largely
upon the amount of advertising
they do.
Business competition Is back —
and is back strong— and the mer
chant, manufacturer or Jobber
who expects to get ahead now-a
daya has got to fight for business
and fight hard.
Any business concern that ex
pects new business must adver
tise.
Any business concern that ex
■
peets to keep the business it now
has must keep advertising.
Publicity is all powerful.-News
paper advertising is best.
Advertising has power. The
business that advertises lead; the
non-advertiser only trails along in
a rut all the time
Stores that are ready at all j
times to meet the demand for |
durability, quality and reliability I
let the people know. They ad
i
vertise.
Stores should be well lighted. It
adds much to their attractiveness.
The soft glow of the well light
ed store gives a restful, enchant
ing feeling to the buyers.
