COAST GUARD IS GOING TO BE IN[}REASED Appropnatlon Is Submit-| ted to Congress — Pro- vides Greater Activity | WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 —-Pro- visions are made for a larger and more powerful Coast Guard to cm-- ry on its anti-smuggling activities | and rescue work at sea in the an-| nual Treasury and Post Office sup- | ply bill submitted to the House by | the House Appropriations Com- mittee. The measure appropriates $32,-| 452,000 for the Coast Guard, an increase of $2,123,000 over the cur- rent year. Sixteen million of this amount is set aside for anti-smuggling work | snd combatting activities of rum | runners.

Japan Back Now to Gold Basis, After Interval, 12 Years (Continued from Page One) in 1925 she arranged a similar back- stopping credit of $300,000,000, or six times as large as that which Japan considered necessary. The United States removed its gold embargo in 1919. At that time Japan was in an advantageous po- sition had she chosen to restore her currency to a gold basis, some in- ‘ernational economic authorities say. She had gold stocks of approxi- mately $1,000,000,000, almost half of which were held abroad. Two years later, in 1921, the total had risen slightly and half of it still remained abroad. From that time forward, how- ever Japan's gold holdings in for- eign centers melted rapidly until Jast March they amounted to only $45,000,000. Meanwhile, with a ris- ing total of unfavorable yearly trade balances, the Tokyo govern- ment waited for a favorable oppor- tunity to remove the troublesome gold embargo, The fact Japan was not willing longer to postpone such action| rested on a number of factors. In 1931, for instance there falls due a sterling loan of which more than| $100,000,000 is still outstanding. ‘With her currency on a gold basni rhe would be able to refund this cbligation on more favorable terms. | - TROLLING BOAT } SINKS FOLLOWING | FIRE, EXPLOSIONi The trolling boat Snipe T3458,) property of I. Goldstein and Chris| Molver, was destroyed by fire near | Sisters Island in Icy Straits last Saturday, according to word re- ceived at the Customs House, brought by Chris Molver who ar-| rived here on the Margnita. Molver was bound from Swanson Jiarbor for Hoonah when the ac-| cident occurred. The engine stopped and when he tried to start it again a flash from the engine's backfire ignited oil around the base of the machine. Molver emptied his fire cxtinguisher without avail, and took to his skiff. An explosion lowed the fire and the boat :1& as he rowed away.

AIR MAIL CHICAGO, Jan. 13—-:n air mail pick-up device' capable of receiving and discharging mail sacks while an airplane is in full flight may cut existing air mail schedules fifteen minutes to an hour, accord- ing to the American Air Transport | Association, which says tests of the device already made its | future adoption on many u( the country’s twenty - four air mail routes. The tests being made at Youngs- town, Ohio, have proved the feasi- bility of catching a small bag of mail as it swings on the end of a 75-foot cable attached to a plane in full flight. The device consists of a V-shaped trap built in the ground. As the mail bag from the plane is caught in the trap the device automatical- ly attaches another bag which is hauled up into the plane. Similar tests are being carried out in the receiving and discharg- ing of mail at sea on the S. §. Leviathan. The theory which postal officials, air mail operators and the inventor are working on is that an air mail plane can leave an airport, swoop down on the pick-up device, haul the mail to a similar device near the post office in the city at the other end of the line and then go on to that city's airport.
