ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEFD TO SE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. ENCOURAGI The rasumption ot milling operations Iin the famous Chichagof mine is an encouraging thing Ten stamps re dioppie there. The favorable pros- | pect that the mil whch has crushed so much ore | and extract o much gold in the past will soon be operating a. full cupacity is more encouraging.| Ths Chic’.igof mine has contributed very largely to the development of Alaska and to the gold supply of the couatry. T indications are that 1!1 will soon resume tae imporiant place is abandoned | several years ago. This new activity is due to| further prospecting and develoing on the property under the direction of James L. Freeburn who was| its manager in the hey day of its glory. It will | make the thought of rc'urnirg prosperity to this region seem a lot more realistic. [ A STATE OF MIND. Speaking to New ¥ork Credit Men's Asso- ciation, Vice-Presdent Collins of R. H. Macy & Cempany, one of the country’s largest business firms, asserted that the current “business delimma is but a state of mind.” He pointed oul that the nation’s payroli has been reduced but 11 per cent since 1929, when it was beiween $0U.000,000,000 and $100,- 000,000,000. But business bus declined far more than} that, proportionately. Briefly he presented figures to show where monev s now going that formerly flowed through norma! chiannels of trade. Among other things he said Our savings deposits uring this time have been increxscd to a figure estimated as high as $30,000,000, and commercial de- posits have incrrased ne . rly $150,000,000. Fundamentals ar. as they were in 1929, the same productive capacily is here, as is the same or greater ability to consume, based on wealth at hand. We have the money designed to do the work of keeping up con- sumption, but it cannot accomplish anything because we won't put it to productive use. In other words, there are plenty of us who think this whole business dilemma is but a state of mind. We must look for the agent or agencies which will effect a radical change in men- tal outlook. The language of advertising talks convincingly to people who have dollars to spend. Much of the responsibility for this state of affairs continuing, altering, or reversing radically for the better lines in the force of publicity, the kind that in a fortright and honest way convinces people that it is to their own selfish interest to buy goods. It is the business of advertising to get this money circulating. And the companies which today, even in times like these, who are showing gains in volume and profit, or are holding a relatively sound position, are thase which are vigorously publicizing themselves and thereby prying dollars loose. UNCLE SAM SURVEYS NUTS; IMPORT- ED AND HOME GROWN. Nutting time is either here or past in most cactions of the country, and Uncle Sam is keeping a sharp eye upon that portion of our $50,000,000 nut crop which enters into interstate traffic. But the United States by no means produces all the nuts which are so popular at holiday time and which enter so importantly into the manufacture of confections, ic» crcam, and bakery products. This country imported more than 82,000,000 pounds of nuts during ‘he calendar year 1930. The figure does 1ot irciude cashew nuts, peanuts, pistachios, eénd other vuriet’es imported in smaller quantities and for which figures are at this time not avaiable, accordin~ to W. B. M. Wharton, Chief of the Federal Foud and Drug Administra- tion's eastern district. The bulk of imported nuts are entered at eastern district ports. About this time every year — anticipating the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year feasts—of- ficials of the Food anc Drug Admiristration main- tain a sharp surveil .nce over imported nuts, as well as those which «re produced (omestically. Dur- ing the calendar year 1930 officials of the admin- istration’s east:rn *ict ex:mined 1,000 importa- tions, totaling more Llha: 26,000,000 pounds. The varieties included «lmonds, Brazils, cashews, chest- nuts, filberts, pis‘uchic and wainuts. Federal officials found it only 92 lots, aggregating slightly more than a mil- lion bounds. These lots were L:ld up because the nuts violated the Fedeial food nnd dru:s act, in that they were wormy, moldy rancid, decomposed, or empty. * An important part of the administration’s work at this season includes swveys of nuts held in storage. -Government inspectors sample the nuts held in warehouses to make sure that any which are going to be shipped from one State to another will not violate the pure food law. As a result of these surveys, and of seizures of lots which are found to violatc the law, the Anerican con- supply of holiday nuts that ’nurhusuredoll upLly y | | i | | recessary to detain | ‘s of high order so far as purity and wholesomeness |are concerned. Mrs. Caraway may be finely qualified to suc- ceed her late brilliant husband in the United States Senate, but if she were appointed by Gov. Parnell just to keep up the foolish custom of naming wives to succeed dead husbands in office it was not a nice trick to play on Arkansas and the country. If President Hoover can devise methods of find- ing employment for the idle and neither increase the deficit nor raise taxes he will have done some- thing. Make sure that your name is on the Red Cn'ss roll call before the drive terminates. “Why Hoard?” (New York World-Telegram.) Nearly a billion dollars, almost one-fifth of the | nation’s outstanding currency, has gone into hoard- |ing through fear of the depression. Credit’s ratio (lo money is ten to one. Hence ten billion dollars in credit has besn withdrawn from trade through this seepage, and the end of the depression has been inorrespondmgly delayed. This editorial is directed specifically to those who have put money in hiding. If you have money in hiding you are making |a direct contribution to the prolongation of the de- | pression. There are thousands of banks in this country that are solid as a rock. But if you are |fearful and if you have such money in hiding, |have you yet thought of the United States Postal |Savings Bank? Did you know that the Postal Savings Bank will accept individual deposits up to $2,500? Did you |kiown that on such deposits interest is paid? Did you know that the faith of the United States | Government, the same Government which guarantses the bill or coin that is hoarded, is equally back of the deposit of that money when it is put into the United States Postal Savings Bank? | So why in the name of common sense hoard? Or if you ars hoarding more than $2,500, why not put at least that amount in the United States Postal Savings Bank? No money is any safer than the government which issues it or the government which accepts it for deposit. Certainly a sock or a mattress or a loose brick is the ultimate of ins2curity as compared with the United States of America. Three Capitals. (Cincinnati Enauirer.) The importance of aviation grows. Major James H. Doolittle, flying paladin, just has demonstrated the fact, adding to his own impressive laurels. Leaving Ottawa, Canada, and traveling at an average speed of 235 miles an hour, Major Doolittle covered the 2,500 miles from the Canadian capital to Mexico City, with stops at Washington, Birming- ham, Ala., and Corpus Christi, Texas, in 12% hours, linking the three great capitals of the Western World. “Viva Doolittle!” cried the people of the Mexi- can capital; and three cheers for Dootlittle are echoed by Canada and the United States. Thz air conquests multiply. Where and when shall these supreme feats end? Who can say? But there is consolation in the thought that the greatest of them have peen performed by American fliers, and that what they have accomplished is promise of a better and happier world. The development of the plane and dirigible make for the interests of peace and brotherhood though- out the earth. Such development assures swift suc- cor to vast affliction anywhere on the globe. Such development does not make for war, rather it dim- inishes the probability of war, for men cannot well fight when they are so adequately equipped to serve the interests of peace, and swift intercommun- ion should surely make for peace. The Dootlittles, the Lindberghs, the brotherhood of the air, are doing more for terrestrial accord among peoples than is the combined statesmanship of the world. Jobless Veterans. (New York World Telegram.) ‘When Congress last session made it possible for veterans to borrow tifty per cent of the face value of their bonus certificates, opponents of the legis- lation said the veterans did not need the money and that they would waste it when they got it. Now official figures of the veterans’ administra- tion refute these assertions. Sixty-five per cent of those who borrowed used funds for personal and family needs; twenty per cent invested the money they borrowed; eight per cent bought automobiles, and seven per cent used the money in such a way as to receive no practicable benefits. Thirty-two per cent of those who borrowed, or some 640,000, were unemployed, and in need, and used their borrowed funds to meet that need. There is no reason to believe that the circum- stances of other sections of the population are dif- ferent from those of the former soldiers. In fact, veterans as a group are probably better off than others, since they are mostly men under forty, and are thus more easily able to obtain work than older persons. Director Hines' tabulation is not an argument for payment in full of soldiers bonus certificates, since relief measures should apply to the unemploy- ed—whether veterans or non-veterans. It does, how- ever, give further evidence of the genuineness and magnitude of the problem of unemployment relief. In a Reuter's telegram the other day, we no- ticed an item which stated that in the cellar of President von Hindenburg are five thousand barrels of choice wine, while in the cellar of Presi- dent Hoover is 'nary a drop. . . .
