ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ER PUBLICATION “WE WANT AIR MAIL.” Mr, McDermond of the Pan-American Airways | expressed surprise at, Chamber of Commerce | meeting that there is no airmail service between | Seattle and Juneau. Well he might be surprised for, as he said, Alaska needs that sort of service and ought to have it. Mr. McDermond comes from South America | where the United States is supporting airmail serv- | ice. Cuba, Hayti, Porto Rico, the Canal Zone,| Jamaica, Trinida; nd all the Caribbean Sea coun- tries are supplied with airmail by the United States. | Why ‘should Alaska that needs it equally f:h‘ not have it? The cost of airmail service between | Seattle and Southeast Alaska would be a ver,\-“ small matter comparable with that in the Caribbean | Sea region. 1 The circumstance that the Alaska-Washington Airways, having excellent equipment and a personnel | second to anywhere, is amply prepared to carry mail summer and winter between Seattle and Southedst Alaska, where the company is rendering excellent commercial service, makes the failure to award an airmail c ract particularly unfathomable. If the Alaska-Washington Airways, thet has given the people three years of efficient work, were given | a mail contract it would be able to operate planes on regular schedule and be of far greater benefit to the country than it is now. A good Southeast Alaska slogan would be Want Air Mail!” as none “We FOREST SERVICE STILL FOR ALASKA | PULP AND PAPER<DEVELOPME! The United States Forest Service at Washington is strongly opposed to compliance with the request of the American Paper and Pulp Association that there be no pulp and paper development in Alaska. The Forest Service has stated its position through a high oficial, and it is strbngly in favor of the continuation of the efforts to push development. A Washington letter to the Editor and Publisher of New York tells the story as follows: If the request of the American Paper and Pulp Association that negotiations for the sale of National Forest pulpwoods in Alaska be halted is approved by the Administration officials that action will be taken over the protest of the U. 8. Forest Service. In fact the service has already turned thumbs down on the Association’s protest but must wait until the matter is passed on finally by Secretary of Agriculture Hyde, who will not return to the capital before the end of the month. Although the letter of the Association was in the nature of a personal appeal to th2 President to aid the present newsprint in- dustry, it was sidetracked immediately to the Forest Service, where it aroused nothing but indignation. Part of the letter reads as follows: “Under the conditions present in the ac- companying survey we are of the opinion that all pénding hegotiations should be dropped and that no other offers of Alaskan or other National Forest timber entailing paper or pulp mill construction should be made until need arises. “To thrust unwanted production upon an overexpanded industry struggling with a diminished demand and vanishing profits, would make a bad unemployment situation worse and further depreciate a capital in- vestment of over $800,000,000 in the United tates, Canada, and Newfoundland “The survey shows there could be no possible gain to the consumers of newsprint; that the present supplies of pulp-wood are ample, and that the continental newsprint industry is equipped to produce 2,000,000 tons in excess of the average consumption over the past five years. " This part of the letter was made public in New York. While officials of the Forest Service were willing that the entire letter be made public, the office of the Secretary of Agriculture decided otherwise. The negotiations referred to have been underway for some years between the Gov- ernment and I apd J. D. Zellerbach of the Crown Zellerabch Corporation’ and George T. Cameron representing the San FPrancisco Chronicle and the Los Angeles Times. Both parties were issued preliminary permits four, years 2go to determine the advisability of launching the projects and a year ago asked for licenses to harness sufficient water power in the vicinity of Juneau and Ketchikan to operate the mills they planned to build. It was the plan then to spend $20,000,000 on the projects and the initial capacity of the mills was -placed at 270 tons of paper a day. These licenses were tendered forthwith by the Federal Power Commission but, ac- cording to officials, the present depression and the overcapacity of paper mills that has resulted, prompted the coast firms to call a temporary halt in the plans. The fact that the negotiations are dor- mant _ap : present ‘will undoubtedly ‘provide sufficient | excuse s for “the’ “Administration” the | until it can be given all the consideration it dcserves, it was pointed out by one official. | At any rate, it is the view of the Forest Service, as expressed by Leon F. Kneipp, a high service official, that the protest should be disapproved. It is his view that as long as the United States is forced to import | newsprint some consideration should be given . to a development that the Territory of Alaska has prayed for for years. It is also | known that the interest of the Alaskans was matched by that of the Forest Service, ch sought for years to interest American tal in the value of exploiting the pulp- wood forests along the Southeast Coast of Alaska While Kneipp admitted that considera- tion should be given to the fact that the newsprint industry is suffering from the depr on it should not operate to ruin ! a natural development that means a new deal all around for Southeast Alaska. He pointed out also that the Administration, in its recent appeal for a conservation of timber, made an exceptin of Alaska so that these development projects might be carried on without restraint The officials also show that the timber- 1 s in question should be developed since it is possible for the forest to produce 1,- 000,000 tons of paper annually in perpetua- tion. These forests have reached a point of stagnation, according to the officials, who charged that this amount of paper is being passed up yearly in favor of importa- tions from Canada and the Scandinavian countries, No matter what the final outcome will be, the Forest Service has a feeling that the negotiations should proceed.

(New York Herald Tribune.) Farmers say that an apple tree brought close to death by borers will blossom, its last spring, more | copiously than when it is in full health, and that an old ash or nut tree about to give up the ghost will celebrate imminent death with a superb final| fruit crop. There is something of the glad sur- render in the colors which mark the approaching end of summer. The goldenrod is coming into bloom, and the! asters are in bud. There is nothing so riotous in the spring colors as a late summer pasture full of | mingled goldenrod and aster. And when goldenrod | blooms, the sumach tarns red; and what is showier | than a roadside full of sumach holding its flaming torches up to the sun? Sumach blooms greenly, quietly, when the world is lush in June; its red fruit heralds the end of the season, just as the coming of the goldenrod announces browning meadows. The first spring flowers, heralds of the richness of summer, are all shy, retiring woodland- | ers, just as the opening leaves greet warmer skies | in pastel tints; it is the harbingers of autumn which in the fields, like the turning leaves om the trees, flaunt the flashingest colors of the outdoor palette. Already, in the swamps, a few telltale maple branches have turned red Cancer Research. (Manchester Guardian.) | It is difficult to overestimate the importance of diagnosis in cancer, for successful treatment often depends on early detection of the disease. The discovery of a blood test which appears to be trust- worthy is therefore, as the British Empire Cancer Campaign authorities describe it, a “definite ad- vance.” The method has been discovered by Dr. Bendien, of Zeist, Holland. supplied by the British authorities with samples of blood taken from thirty-eight persons, some can- cerous, some suffering from other diseases, some healthy. Dr. Bendien not only succeeded in picking out all the cancerous samples, but he labelled as cancerous one of the others. A subsequent ex- amination, however, proved the accuracy of Dr. Bendien's diagnosis. | Governor Rqosevelt of New York, it is said, oc- cuples himself with miniature wooden boats as a hobby.
