INDECISIVE AIR WAR
Pending the expected unfold
ing of a vast onslaught, Germany
is sending from twoscore up to
100 or more planes against the
British coast or against Channel
shipping each day. While the war
Continues at this tempo, the Brit
ish are able to give an exceed
ingly good account of themselv
es.
Any figures supplied from
either side are subject to con
siderable error. But it is plain,
nevertheless that British Spitfires
-and Hurricanes are keeping most
Of the enemy planes off the
coast and are shooting down a
satisfactory percentage of them.
Their own losses are quite small.
It would be perilous to rea
son from this small-scale war in
the air and assert that German
raids by many hundreds of plan
es woud be correspondingly in
effective. Britain’s air force is
smaller than Germany’s and the
number of bases from which fight
er ships can take off for de
fense work is very limited. It
would seem therefore that Brit
ain cannot hope to maintain quite
so gratifying a record as the di
mensions of the air war increase.
Yet the success British airmen
have had over the Channel and
the eastern coast lends some en
couragement to the longer pros
pect. It indicates that Great Brit
ain has an extremely well-organ
ized and well-manned aerial de
fense. And it indicates also that
in the air, as on land and on the
water, there is an inherent net
advantage in the defense.
Meantime British bombers
have been engaged in offensive
operations daily for many weeks.
Their claims must be somewhat
discounted for airmen tend to
SvCr-^stimate the damage their
bombardments work. Yet it is
certainly true that the British
bomber command can reach ob
jectives far inside Germany and
bombard them with impunity.
Germany’s aerial defense not only
"Is VtoA a£ good as Hermann Goer
ing boasted a year ago, but is
r.ot nearly as good as the English.
Only coming weeks will tell
how adequate British air de
fenses will be when the whole
might of Hitler’s air squadrons is
thrown against the British coast.
But the record up to now is high
ly encouraging, recreating the
prospect that Britain may stand
off attacks for some months. Do
ing this, the British will find a
great many factors commencing
to work to their advantage.

I PLATFORM OF DEMOCRATIC
PARTY OF ALASKA
The Platform of the Democratic Party of Alaska, adopted at the
Territorial Convention held at Juneau on Jan. 13, 1940, is the plat
form on which every Democratic candidate runs for Territorial
office until the next Territorial convention to be held early in 1944.
It consists of 17 planks which we herewith publish in numeri
cal order as space permits:
(Continued from last issue)
15. We favor the utilization,
1 by the Territory of Alaska and
I the Federal Government and
their respective bureaus and ag
encies, of local products and lo
cal labor, wherever and when
ever possible.
16. We pledge ourselves fur
ther to urge the adoption of the
following statutes by the Alaska
Legislature:
(a) A Territorial Department
of Labor, adequately financed
and completely equipped with au
thority under a comprehensive
Labor Code.
(b) Under Section 4, Chapter
VII of the Extraordinary Session
Laws of Alaska, 1937, accepting
the benefits of Title VI, of the
Federal Social Security Act re
lating to the protection of public
health, be amended to provide
that all physical examinations be
made and certificates of health
be furnished and provided by the
Territorial Public Health physi
cian or medical examiner with
out charge or expense to the em
ployee or employer.
(c) An amendment to the
Terriorial Workmen’s Compensa
tion Act to cover all occupational
diseases.
(d) Reducing the number of
employees under the Unemploy
ment Compensation Act from
eight to three or more and the
period of employment from ,twen
ty to five weeks.
17. In conformity with the
historic democratic principle of
the greatest good for the greatest
number, the Democratic Party in
Alaska has from time to time
gone on record as favoring the
abolition of all salmon traps in
the waters of the Terrtitory.
Since the reason for such abol
ition are now more compelling
than ever before, we favor en
actment and approval of H. R.
3368, 76th Congress, being a Bill
introduced by the Hon. A. J. Di
mond, Delegate to Congress from
Alaska, tto eliminate gradually
the use of fish traps in ALaska, to
confine certain types of seine fish
ing to residents of Alaska and for
other related purposes.
Firm in the realization that the Democratic Party
is dedicated to the principle of representive self gov
ernment, and that its political creed makes it a true
party of the people, we the undersigned Democratic
candidates for Territorial office, ask your support in
the forthcoming general election September 10th :
