WAR LESSON WRITTEN IN SPANISH BLOOD.
With the horror of the Spanish revolution now
spread over more than a month, some of its lessons are
(beginning to appear, written in letters of blood.
The only possible benefit in a war of this kind is
the possibility the rest of us may learn something from
■it. And while it is too early for the lessons of the
'Spanish civil war to be in final form, certain outlines
already are becoming evident.
First, it is getting to be increasingly clear that who
ever controls the air forces, controls the country. As
this is written, it begins to look as though the fine gal
lantry of the loyalists in the Guadarrama mountains,
<the desperate defense of the rebels in the Alcazar, the
massacre of thousands of helpless ones on both sides,
have been all wasted.
Final control may well pass to that side which con
trols the air, and in that regard the rebels seen to have
the edge.
/ Most of the air force revolted with the rebels.
Those airmen who remained loyal at Madrid were of
such doubtful loyalty that few could be trusted to fly
against the rebels, lest they desert.
Moroccan troops were ferried by airplane across
the blocked Mediterranean in driblets until they be
came a rebel army. Rebel planes now bomb the very
airport of Madrid, and the boldest stroke against Tole
do’s besieged Alcazar has been the bombing by loyalist
planes.
Who controls the air force, then, controls the coun
try. And controls also the foreign influence of that
•country, as witness Mussolini’s forcing of Italy into
first-class company, largely through his huge and pre
pared air force. Britain’s frantic effort to build up her
own sky strength shows belated recognition of this fact.
Another thing begins to be clearer as each day
•passes. Whoever wins the Spanish fight inherits a
•corpse. The death of thousands of the finest young
men in Spain is a loss from which the country cannot
recover within generations. The loss of foreign trade
incident to the shutting down of industries and the ham
stringing of exports may never be overcome.
Customers quickly learn to go elsewhere for pro
ducts which they have been unable to get during the
revolution. Skilled labor has been spilled out bloodily
in the campaign. Stocks of goods, productive plants,
•have been destroyed.
Whichever side wins will face not only a smolder
ing opposition, conquered but not convinced, breathing
revenge with every breath and, with rifles hidden un
der beds, awaiting opportunity to fight again. It will
also face a prostrate country, its industry crippled, its
•trade in ruins, its best and finest young men under the
.ground.
Authorities who urge flood control through im
pounding rains should not overlook the watermelon’s
capacity for storing up moisture.
A man was charged with rustling cattle 10 miles
from New York City, a lesson to Wall Street to keep its
bulls and bears in the corral.

DERED BY MRS CORRINE
CALL. A FORMER NOMEITE.
VISITOR TO FAIRBANKS—
GIVES LIFE TO WORK.
Mrs. Corrine Call, noted Alaska !
educator, who has been visiting <
Fairbanks recently, while enroute
from Eklutna to Circle City .holds
an outstanding record as benefac-'
tor to orphan girls of Alaska.
During her career of 25 years
in the territory, during which she
has given the best years of her
life to education of native child
ren in connection with her ser
vices as teacher in the native
schools, she has adopted seven
Eskimo or part Eskimo girls.One
of the little girls died. Three of
the number she gave college edu
cations at her own expense, and
the three others are now being
reared by her.
Outstanding Girl
The most outstanding of the
girls adopted by Mrs. Call is
known throughout Alaska as Miss
Melba Call, now 24 years of age,
and a college graduate. The girl
was rescued in her native Nusha
gak region by Mrs. Call when the
child was a babe and had been
cast out after the Eskimo fashion
and left to die on a waste dump.
The child, a full blood Eskimo,
was blind. Mrs. Call nursed her
through babyhood, gave her pri
mary and secondary education,
sent her to Oregon and other sta
tes to complete her education in
some of the best known colleges.
Today she is a teacher of the
blind in the Eklutna native school

Alaska’s Salmon Rising
in U. S. Favor as
Delicious, Nourishing Food
Industry’s advertising in States gets more
housewives to buy Canned Salmon at fair prices per
can. This helps almost every family in Territory
aska knows Canned Salmon as
a food that’s good to eat—and
healthful; but the Territory can
consume only a fraction of our an
nual salmon catch.
Only through building up the out
side market—in the U.S.—can Alas
ka’s Number One Industry forge
ahead of competition from other
parts of the world — keep on pay
ing its large share of taxes here—
and offer stable employment to
Alaskan workers.
Alaska people know the Industry
is conducting a great advertising
campaign in the U. S. As a result
of this advertising — now in full
swing—Canned Salmon is growing
in favor among U. S. families.
U. S. women who have learned
the nutritious, life-sustaining values
of Canned Salmon are serving it
often. And these American house
wives are now buying more of
Alaska’s food-delicacy from the sea.
You and your family share, di
rectly or indirectly, in the benefits
brought by this stability in the
Canned Salmon Industry.
More demand for Canned Salmon
means more stable employment —
more money spent for equipment
and services here in the Territory.
You can help the good work by
serving Canned Salmon often in
your own home.
What Canned Salmon
advertising will
accomplish for Alaska
Canned Salmon advertising to U. S. women
is paid for entirely by the Canned Salmon In- 4
dustry. Its purposes include the following:
It will seek to safeguard this Alaska Indus
try against the competition from other
food products in America.
2' It will seek to stabilize America’s demand
for this Alaska product at fair prices —so
that good wages may be paid to Alaska
workers.
It will, if successful, help make it possible
for the Industry to continue its support of
the Territorial government through tax
payments. The Canned Salmon Industry
in 1933 (last year for which records are
complete) paid 77% of all taxes collected *
by the Territorial government.
4 It will create interest in Alaska and its re
sources and help to bring more people to
the Territory.
g It will guard the future of the Industry —
protect the future of the thousands of
Alaska people who derive Income directly
and indirectly from the canning of Alaska
salmon.
