It's about all over, by this time, except the
shouting. BY tomorrow we should know who was
elected and which side prevailed the liquor refer
endum argument
No careful observer doubts that Alaska will turn
in another Democratic sweep as no careful observer
doubted that Maine yesterday would report Repub-
lcan sweep.
The 1899 Territorial Legislature consisted of %
Democrats and Republican That the COP.
will have larger representation in 1941 is almost
a mathematical certainty. The party cannot be any
worse off than last time, because the lone Republi
can Senator Leroy Sullivan of Nome. is hodover.
Territorial officials, since 1888 will still be
100 percent Democratic next year Even the most
sanguine Alaska Republican comedies this.
The liquor referendum is the great question mark
in today's balloting. The result could be landslide
in either direction without surprising anyone There
is no example from the past which base
a guess to the outcome The vaguely phrased

lot of talking about Latin American
cooperation, and has invited vari-
Gus Pan-American leaders to &c
on junkets throughout this country
But here is an example of how
Good Neighbor cooperation some
times works out in concrete case
-Four years ago Brazil tried to
buy or lease some of our over-age
destroyers. but being unable to dc
so decided to build them herself
out Of American materials. So she
ordered boilers. engines, all sorts
of equipment in the u. S. and
shipped them to Rio.
However, she was unable to buy
any naval guns. Very few Ameri-
can companies make naval guns,
SO Brazil turned to the United
States Navy. which makes its own
guns at Washington, D. c. But the
U. S. Navy was not allowed to sell.
So a law was introduced permitting
American countries to buy military
and naval equipment from the
United States Government. But
this bill was hung up in Congress
largely through the vote of one
Senator, Vandenberg of Michigan.
Therefore, Brazil having COM
pleted her destroyers and needing
The. guns badly, sent a special mis-
sion TO the United States to nego-
tate with the National Forge and
Ordnance Company. The deal in
voived from $l,500,0OO to $2,OOO,OOO
but National Forge dickered and
delayed Then as the contract was
about to be signed, its president
died and negotiations had to begin
all over again.
Meanwhile Congress has passed
the bill permitting the purchase OF
guns from the U. S. Navy, but now
the Navy needs all the guns for
itself.
So with Brazips destroyers now
launched. construction of their guns
is not even started. No wonder the
Brazilians are listening sympatheti-
cally to a German offer to sell
them s60,000,OOO worth of guns and
munitions at one third what they
would cost in the United States.

CANADIAN PILOTS

One matter discussed by the
Joint US.-Canadian Defense Board
at its first meeting in Ottawa was
the training of Canadian pilots in
the United States this winter.
Canadas severe weather makes
winter training extremely difficult
for aviators. AS one Canadian Board
member expressed it, Your worst
weather conditions are better than
our best" Also, Canada is serious
1y handicapped by lack of train
ing planes and instructors
The big pilot training program
being conducted by the U S. Gov
eminent has made it hard for Cam
ada to obtain trainer planes and
instructors here.
So the Dominion is eager to set
up a large school somewhere in
the United States South or South
west where Canadian youths could
receive flying instruction this win
ter. If the necessary facilities can
be obtained, Canada is ready to
send 5000 men south for training
All the costs would be borne by
Canada. The only thing desired by
Canada is the privilege of estab-
fishing the school on u. S. soil.
NOTE-The u S. Army has
trained military flyers from South
American countries for several
years, though only in very small
numbers.

Without any feeling of boodthrstiness, and with

that British Royal Air Force planes have bombed

Germany has bombed towns all over Europe
ruthlessly Even in the World War, the fighting
got inside German territory. The people suf-
fered from hunger, but they knew the terrors
and horrors of the bombings which raned death on

Perhaps there will be less mlitarsm in Germany
