 On Refugee Plan
Territory Already Burden ed with More Unemploy-
 ed Than It Can Absorb

Pointing out that 90 percent Of the employment in Alaska is sea sonal and that the Territory can not now absorb the influx of un- employed from the States, Acting Gov. E. w Griffin today replied to the request of Congressman Charles A. Buckley of New York for assis- tance. in bringing European politi- cal refugees to the north.
 Text of Gov Griffin's message Jc the Congressman follows
 Even though Alaska is large Territory, 90 percent of the employ ment is confined to mining and fish ing, both of which are seasonal, pro- viding employment for only six months of the year. Present devel- cpment through lack of capital can- not absorb the influx of unemployed from the States now here and Fed eral funds are required to supple ment the Territory in development work which is slow Therefore, as much as we would like to help in the distressing situation we can not see how we could add to our al- ready heavy unemployment prob lems."
 Congressman Buckley had wired the Acting Governor as follows:
 Would appreciate your coopera- ton in investigating and evolving a plan whereby limited number of carefully selected European politi- cal refugees would be permitted to settle in Alaska. In admitting peo- pie and capital. every precaution will. of course, be taken to protect the interests of those already in the Territory

What Is Adrertiisiing?
Mum Der 8

sequently each consumers share is vastly ln- creased. The wealth created in making the goods is distributed to consumers through payments for wages, materials, and dlvl- dends, and thus they are able to buy the greater volume of goods produced
 But merely being able to buy does not make people buy Statesmen and advertising must be kept on the job all the time, to keep merchandise moving from factory to con sumer, or the wheels will soon stop turning. The work of selling is just as important as the work of making and the work of trans porting And advertising is the only way by which the large volume of goods now being produced can be sold.
 In performing it's selling work, advertising shows us the way to better living, by creat- ing desires for better things Through con- veniences introduced by advertising, the burdens of housekeeping have been made easier and the family diet has been inn proved. Babies are healthier and homes are more sanitary because of the educational influence of advertising Newspapers and magazines are sold for a few cents copy and radio entertainment is free, because advertisers pay most of the costs of these three great mediums for advertising.
 While doing. all this useful and valuable work, advertising costs the consumer noth- ing because it is the most economical form of selling and lowers the cost of distribu- tion. Advertising is the voice of industry, telling us all how to live happier lives and how to make our money go farther.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-11-28

long time ago there was no advertising. Every man with something to sell had to tell people about it personally and individual ly. This was not great handicap Tn those days for no one had very much to sell.
 But as soon as large-scale manufacturing was begun, it was necessary to find way to tell many people about products, to tell them quickly and all at one time. To fill this need advertising naturally developed as a universal business process. Without 1t we could not operate large factories making goods for millions of consumers.
 Advertising is sometimes spoken of as a special kind of business as separate indus try supported by other lines of business. It is no such thing at all. Advertising is sim ply part of the process of selling the prod ucts of every industry. It does the important job of telling people about merchandise and where to buy it, and 1t stimulates their desire to buy.
 It is not enough to make goods and to transport them to places where consumers can buy them. The public must be told about goods-how desirable they are, how people can make themselves more comfort able, more healthy, or more happy through buying them In other words, the mer- chandise must be sold, not merely placed on sale Advertising does a large part of this selling, and there is no other method that can take it's place.
 Since the days when there was no adver- tising, the quantity of goods purchased has been multiplied by many, many times. Con-

one tiny inch of invasion on what they term Soviet soil
 That they dropped their bombs along the Japanese Russian border yesterday as reported in news dispatches would signify that they were just punctuatng their idea of where that line is. The furore caused in Tokyo of the thought in off- cia Japanese circles that Japan is bit apprehensive
 Russia despite its change in form of government hasn't forgotten that incident of 1905 when the Japa nese gave the then land of the Romanoffs what might be termed a handy trimming With Japan now having it's hands full and little beside, with the Chinese it would seem perfectly natural for the Rus sians to show their teeth. They may not be seeking actual conflict with their old enemies but the trouble along the Manchoukuo border is fairly strong evil dence that they not going to step out of the way for peace at any price Allied with China, it is prob able that Staln controlled Russia would be able to make quite an interesting time of it for the Japa- nese fact they might square that bitter old account of 1905.

FISHERMEN'S INCOME

Reports of the big money fishermen make in the short Bristol Bay fishing are traditional and indications are this is going to be far better than normal During the alien fishermen inyesu- gaon cases there recently it was revealed according to Attorney General Truitt that one fisherman had made $31OO in the short 2O-day season and another had rolled up $2,55O, more money than large part of Americans individually make in year Of course isn't to be supposed that all the fisher men in Bristol Bay made any such incomes for the season but due to the unprecedented of red sal mon all probably have done great deal better than they do in normal years
 It means that the fortunate fishermen and their families are going to be able to for themselves during the winter months without being forced to ask for government assistance. Doubtless, it will lessen the relief burden for the Territory as well as for some of those Outside communities from which many of the fishermen north It is to be hoped that the runs other regions of Alaska will before the season closes bolster up to somewhere near normal so that the men who follow fishing in the Southeast and other areas also will have opportunity to lay aside something for the idle months ahead.
 
 better break for resident fishermen well as non-resdents who citizens of the United States is forecast in the recent action in Bristol Bay which saw the conviction of than 75 fishermen as aliens levyng fines and jail sentences officials warned that they would be more watchful another year and that no lenency would be shown in the future Their edict in a few words was-aliens must go.
 Action such as taken this season in Bristol Bay if followed up diligently, and we have every reason to believe that it will be- will in time rid the Alaska resident fisherman as well the nonresident citi- fisherman of one of the worst flies in the fishing ointment-the alien fisherman who year after year works side by side with the citizen fisherman makes just as much money and often times more, but con- tnues to be an alien taking steps whatsoever to establish his citizenship. The investigations in Bris tol Bay brought out first papers that much Is and 20 years old definitely indicating the holders had no intentions of becoming citizens but were trying to avoid trouble by taking out first papers. Many had papers at all That is the kind of unfair competition that the tax paying Alaskan and Ameri- fisherman has been up against
 Little wonder that fishermen on our Alaska fishing banks welcome that verdict that aliens must go.

MAKES THE FISH RUN AND
 THE DUCKS FLY

It's been a great year for Juneau and July was great month
 Ask Meteorologist Howard J. Thompson His figures prove it.
 Forty-six years ago. the Weather Bureau began keeping records of rain and and now and then sunshine in Juneau. Those records to date prove that the 757 inches of rain that fell last month rep resented a larger rainfall for July than any year previous and around three inches over normal At any rate, the records fail to show any wetter though somewhere in the dim past there may have been some as wet.
 So was Jme-that month also was one of the wettest on record
 And May was far abov, normal-and so was April
 In March it showed a great deal.
 It's been a great year-for rain
 But that's what makes the fish run-and the ducks fly in October.

Young Men Needed

(Valdez Miner)
 Alaska is calling for young of integrity and ambition to take up her burden Young who willing to spend a few years in back-breaking toll to enjoy in their declining years. Young men who experienced in the rudments of mining and will shoulder pack and spend the summer in the hills looking for virgin ground
 The prospector of former years has become too old to take to the hills and must rely men to take their places. The man of thirty years ago is racked by rheumatism, bent in the back, and unable to endure great hardships But the oldtimer is optimistic the outlook for gold strike he when he first to Alaska. Optimism is about all that is left of him.
 To the Outdoor there is charm in roaming the hills and valleys of uneXplored area that takes reckoning of failures He is in the hills because he likes to be independent of his fellow and his boss Whether he works this morning or tomorrow morning is governed solely by his will
 Young men who willing to follow the lure of the oden golden trails who have the ambition and the faith to follow the elusive pay streak do well in Alaska.
 Hundreds of thousands of acres of alluvial land are to be found-land where the foot of has never trod There is gold lying undiscovered yet than has been taken out The work is hard and at times saps mans strength to the point of exhaustion but the reward is certain

Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1888

Threatening aspects contend with benefic influences today, according to astrology. Uncertainty and even apprehension may be harbored by leaders in government and indus try.
 In the morning financiers, bank. CTS and big business men may be subject to baffling suggestions re- garding international affairs and unable to make definite decisions on pressing problems.
 Bitter criticism of leaders will be prevalent. Fall campaigns will de- velop unprecedented partisanship in which confusion will be wide spread.
 Despite the adverse aspects in the horoscope there are signs of good luck. Encouraging news from Eu- rope may be expected as new pacts operate for closer bonds of inter national understanding AS Mars in Leo rules the month, ambition may cause hostile ges- lures in Europe. The spirit of con- quest vii be aflame in Asia where the horoscope of the Emperor of Japan warns of destruction to ship ping with heavy damage in October and November from earthquakes and storms.
 Evil omens are discerned for Rus sia where there may be conflict with a foreign power and surprising changes in governmental policies.
 Women should prepare for unu- sual activities in coming months. Study of public affairs is recom- mended, as heavy responsibilities are prognosticated. Girls will have many opportuni- ties to marry before the end of this year which will record an extra ordinary number of marriages and an increased birth rate.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of surprises. Great changes may be expected. Losses of money are probable among business men.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be foreful as well as talent ed. The subjects of this sign usually have imagination and determina- ton.
 Stanley Baldwin, British states man, was born on this day 1867 Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Rupert Brooke, English poet, 1887; Elisha G. Otis, inventor, 1911.
