Propaganda Here
The Office of Facts and Figures recently issued a
pamphlet which contained 15 things which Hitler
wants Americans to believe, lies he wants persons in;
the United States to regard as facts because to believe
these things could do much to hamper a successful;
war effort on the part of this country.
Perhaps you have heard some of these lies talked,
about openly in Juneau. We know we have. We heard i
one of them spoken at a luncheon meeting the other I
day by a person we believe is as loyal an American as!
anyone in the country. We don’t believe he realized
that he was agreeing with Hitler when he spoke.
Here are the 15 things Hitler wants us to believe.;
Probably many of them are familar to you. Study
them with the idea that you are Hitler and form your
own conclusions:
“Democracy is dying; our armed forces are weak;
the ‘New Order’ is inevitable; we are last in the Pa
cific. our West Coast is in such grave danger—there
is no point in fighting on; the British are decadent,
and ‘sold us a bill of goods’; the cost of the war will
bankrupt the Nation; civilian sacrifices will be more
than we can bear; Stalin is getting too strong, and Bol
shevism will sweep over Europe; our leaders are in
competent, our Government incapable of waging war;
aid to our allies must stop; our real peril is the Japan
ese, and we must join Germany to stamp out the ‘Yel
low Peril’; we must bring all our troops and weapons
back to the United States and defend only our own
shores; the Chinese and the British will make a sep
erate peace with Japan and Germanv; American dem
ocracy will be lost during the war.”
These are the things that Hitler wants us to believe
now. But another line may be pursued tomorrow, and
another the next day. Always, however, his bread aims
will be the same—to separate us from our allies by
arousing distrust in them, by urging us to criticize
them; to create friction within the United States in or
der to divert us from our true enemy—the Axis; to
• paralyze our will to fight.—Dail^ Alaska Empire.

The New Air Routt*
Twice-a-week round trips between Seward and Ko
diak! Something that people of Seward had often hoped
for and discussed, dependable transportation to the is
So much is occurring, so many events of titanic
nature enter into our lives, that we are apt to regard
lightly, or overlook entirely, things about us that
really may in a sense reshape much of our daily livu.',
This week is launched the twice-a-week air route
service between Fairbanks and Kodiak, taking in both
Anchorage and Seward, going and return. In reality
a tremendously big event, a step that will go a long
way toward knitting closer together Alaska commun
ities. That is something that Alaska needed—a com
munity of interests among communities. The airplane
solves another problem.—The Seward News.
Red Cross Blood Bank
Offered Contribution
By Schenley Employees
New York — More than
300 pints of blood have
been made immediately
available for military and
civilian blood bank purpos
es by New York employees
of Schenley Distillers cor
poration and its affiliate,
Knickerbocker Liquors cor
poration, according to in
formation released bv the
American Red Cross Blood
Donor Service.
The Red Cro.-s said that ar
rangements for 300 of the firm’s
employees to donate at least a
pint of blood each for conversion
int lifesaving plasma had been
completed under the direction of
Jack Kaduson, advertising exec
utive of the Schenley company.
New York office personnel will
ing to serve as volunteer blood
donors, the announcement said,
were first listed by 40 group
captains who then reported
pledges to Kaduson. Using the
master list furnished by him, the
Red Cross immediately set up a
schedule of appointments so that
each volunteer could be excused
from work in order to appear at
the office of the Blood Donor Ser
vice to make his contribution.
Although the original schedule
was set up on the expectation
that each donor would make one
gift of a pint of blood, the Red
Cross reported that many of
those who have already visited
the donor’s rooms have said they
want to make a second contribu
lion at the end of two months.
The Red Cross requires the lapse
f that length of time between
the donation of each pint of
blood so that there can be no
weakening effect from the eontri
hutions.
