AIR BASES FOR ALASKA
Passage of the Wilcox mili
tary air base bill by congress
is a victory for the Hearst
newspapers, which since the
first of the year have urged
air protection for the rich Al
aska territory.
The Wilcox bill provides for
the establishment of adequ
ate army airports throughout
the United States and in Al
aska.
The inclusion of Alaska in
the nation’s defense program
was forcefully advocated in
these columns.
Through official blindness,
the Washington naval treaty
prohibited the United States
from fortifying the Aleutian
Islands in Alaska, but in a re
cent discussion of future na
val plans, Secretary Swanson
announced that should the
treaty not be renewed, the
navy will consider establish
ing a base on those islands,
which should be the shield of
Alaska, perhaps of the Pacific
Coast.
Washington’s agreement not
to fortify theAleutian Islands
seems incomprehensible —as
well agree not to fortify Pu
get Sound.
But the agreement was
made, and now the United
States can only wait until the
treaty expires.
However, the United Sta
tes has made no agreement to
leave the Alaska mainland
undefended, and the Wilcox
bill’s provision for an air base
should be quickly fulfilled.—

E. P. Gosling, Advertising
manager of the Bangor (Me.)
Daily News, says:
“Advertising to be useful
and productive must be con
secutive. It is the day after
day repetition of the message
that finally gets it over to the
people. Readers are not sold
on a product the first time
they read about it and until
the message has been thor
oughly implanted in the
minds of the readers it does
not bear fruit.
“I always like to think of
advertising in this way. The
newspaper having gone into
the home for five or ten or
more years becomes an old
and valued friend. It is wel
comed every issue because it
brings to the people news and
happenings of the country
and world at large. Therefore
when advertising appears in
a good newspaper it is just
the same as if the newspaper
took the advertiser by the
hand and brought him into
the home as an old friend and
said, ‘Here is a new friend
that I want you to know,’ and
