Reich's new trade drive in the vast,

drive is relatively new and extremely
significant-the part which NaM

This phase of Nazi policy Is es-

speaking, between here and Bagdad
the economic and social functions of
the middle classes are performed not
by native elements but by Jews and
Germans. Trade, banking, insurance,
transport, bookkeeping and much Of
the white collar economics" are DOM
mated by these two alien groups. So,
by profiting by anti-semitism in these
countries, the Reich will be not only
able to hold its own position but to
take over that Of the Jews, too. And

AIR MAIL SERVICE
 IN ALASKA

It's a long way from the days of twenty two-day mail service from Nenana to Nome. And it's a long way from period of five days from Fairbanks to Juneau by ordinary mail.
 Today we speak in terms of hours and oneday. Tuesday, was the official day for the inaugma- ton of the first Airmail Service in Alaska-between Juneau and Fairbanks, when a Lockheed FL ectra plane of the Pacific Alaska Airways flew the first official US. Mail under an Airmail contract from Juneau to Fairbanks. The plane is to make the return trip leaving Fairbanks Sunday May 8.
 Symbolic of progress in Alaska, the new mail service will place Nome within two days of Juneau by mail, and about four and a quarter days from Seattle-an achievement bespeaking the ini- tiative and determination of AL askans and others 10 lower the barriers of frontiers and shorten the time and trouble of travelling great distances 10 remote sections of this great Territory.
 Alaska Air Mail has besn ad- vocated for some years past, ever since the advent of commercial airplaneS in the Territory. And any person can see why-the great distances between establish ed communities and centers of population making for isolation without the contact of air travel.
 To the Pacific Alaska Airways and its parent company the Pan American Airways Systems, go a large measure of credit for push ing over this next step in Alas kan communication. To Cover nor John w.
