ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OT BLICATION, HIGH TARIFFS AND SPECULATION RESPONSIBLE. Boston News Bureau, The arch-Protectionist one time stout champion of high tariffs almost| without limit, is now content to insist that high tariff is not the only cause of depression—that it must share responsibility with over speculation. Sir George Paish, brilliant English economist, had de-| clared that artificial obstructions to trade was re- | sponsible for the hard times in the world. Partly agreeing, the Boston News Bureau, in a recent edi- torial, said: With Sir George Paish's central thesis —as expressed in an interview in this paper —there will be no serious quarrel in most quarters. Doubtless there has been too much artificial obstruction to world trade expansion, due in turn to excess of “Nation- alism.” The barbed wire was stripped from the trenches long ago; but much economic barb wire nas since been reared—and not all of it in Europe. Chiefly its name is new or higher tariffs. But the question will at once suggest itself to an American mind, Is not the an- favor if they will promptly | rotify the Business Office of any faflure or irregularity | alysis quite too simple and exclusive? Is the | case not much more complex? If all the hu- man race—particularly we Americans—be- came at once as cosmopolitan-spirited as Sir George would like, would that of itself cure world depression quickly and complete- ly? No doubt “co-operation and collabora- tion” would help, perhaps a great deal; but would it immediately suffice, and was its re- cent lack the whole fault? Two things may be cited as belonging also in the great picture (ignoring other de- tails that might be added). Both were pri- mary causes; and it is with their conse- quences the world is wrestling today. One was Europe's direct fault; the blame for the other is mainly ours. The first was World War. After great wars—Civil, Napoleonic, Thirty-Year, etc.,— there is always a great economic repercus- sion. It was bound to be tremendous after the 1914-1918 sort of struggle. Yet then, between late 1924 and late 1929, we Americans proceeded to forget or ignore its vast costs and burdens in a sat- urnalia of speculation,—in which many Old World individuals joined us. For it we are here paying the price and doing the pen- ance now. As also everybody elsewhere is still paying the toll of World War—one legacy of which was hugely expanded ca- pacity to produce raw commodities we wete once told would “win” that war. Here are just two items. The average American, while admiring the sweep of Sir George's thought, will wonder if they also shouldn’t enter his analysis, which now seems so closely centered on a single theme? LET IT ALO Many organizations are wasting time and en- ergy in the battle over birth control. They are meddling in private family affairs and getting nowhere. Birth control is a matter that had better be left with those directly concerned. They will settle it anyhow without outside interference. Birth control discussions are manifestations of a prevailing desire of many people to con- trol other peoples’ affairs. People assume to have ideas and they want to force everybody else to conform to them, We have too much of that sort of thing. It is time to recede rather than to expand the custom. We ought to begin by ditching Prohibition and letting people do as they please about birth control. . MR. RUSTGARD IS RIGHT. Attorney-General Rustgard regards a rule re- cently adopted by the Alaska Railroad to give employment to no laborers of fifty years of age or older and to discharge all who are sixty or over as both rediculous and outrageous. Mr. Rustgard is right. Men of fifty or more, if they are in good health and sound of body are worth as much or more as laborers as young men. There are a lot of people in the Interior who have spent their younger years prospecting, working in the mines for a brief season for grub- stakes, who need work that is only available on roads, rail and otherwise. They ought not to be discriminated against if they can do the work. COL. HOUSE SPEAKS. * Col.

It was not favored by the mass of the | people nor by its best thinkers. It was promoted by a selfish few and accepted by others who thought that Canada would tamely submit to it. There are some things that are not going right we induce Helen Wills Moody and Bobby Jones to return to their games they will continue to go wrong. However, it is a good thing for American pride that Helene Madison retiring. Twenty Grand, and challenge him! the world to beat “Romance” in Crime. (New York World-Telegram) A. B. McDonald, Pulitzer Prize reporter, in a dispatch to the Times, tells of an interview he had with Emmett Dalton, last of the “Daiton Boys,” in Coffeyville, Kan., scene of the famous raid in which Bob and Grat were killed. Standing over his brothers’ graves, the old outlaw said: “The biggest fool on earth is the one who thinks that he can beat the law, that crime can be made |to pay. It never paid and never will, and that is the one big lesson of the Coffeyville raid.” The same newspaper quotes United States At- torney Ameli, of Brooklyn, as saying: “It has been estimated that between $200,000,000 and $600,000,000 yearly has been levied by racketeers in tribute from almost every business in our cities.” . s These two eminent authorities can’t both be right. It is a familiar thing for reformed criminals to say very much what Emmett Dalton said over his brothers’ graves. Perhaps they are over-compensat- ing for consciousness of a wayward past and ex- tenuating in their own minds the fact that they got caught. Or perhaps they are fervently hoping that the warning spoken by one so scarred with imemories will keep others from following in their path. Mr. Ameli also indulges in a degree of romance when he undertakes to estimate the amount of racketeering loot. It is easy to believe that the loot is large. Yet no man has any means of knowing remotely how large it is. i PR “Bluebeard” or Al Capone, the criminal and his crime are as big as public fancy can mak: them. The more the melodrama, the more the public will If the crooks themselves fall a little short, public imagination comes to their rescue. “Romance” is gangdom’s royal road to freedom and opulence. ‘The public adores to be “taken for a ride” while sitting safely in armehairs. Maybe we should have the President appoint a “Wickersham Committee ..gainst Romance in Crime.” English and “Talkiese.” (New York Times) English' as it is “talkied” in the new films has come in for broadsides of condemnation from Eng- lish critics. But Mr. Reginald Berkeley, writing in The Saturday Review, expressed a sincere affection for “good American.” He really likes the “tooth- some slang of the Middle West” and the American style. But when all of the characters are “boobs” or “bables” and “janes” or “frails,” when everybody is “dumb” or “lit” this brand of talkiese he finds, in the language of the studio, to be absolutely “lousy.” It is bad enough when it comes direct from Ameri- ca. But it is far worse when it is a rank imita- tion by English manufacture. Because of American ascendency in the moving-picture field, English pro- ducers have looked to American films for standards. But to seize upon their worst qualities and ape their racketeer slang is a serious mistake, What Mr. Berkeley calls the “film puffers’ come in for a share of blame in mutilating the English language. When every star is “the world's stupendous Love-Queen,” and every other picture is a “fierce joy-thrill, love drama,” glossaries are needed to make the real meaning clear. For in- stance, thrilling means anything you like; “heart- searing,” rather weakly sentimental. ‘There is danger that the effect on English youngsters exposed to such talk will be as disas- trous as the “fate of the chameleon who, having turned green on green, and red on red, was sud- denly planted down on a strip of tartan.” Ameri- can producers are already beginning to drop the underworld lingo, and the racketeer film may soon be as dead as the melodramas that flourished on Broadway a season or two ago.
