To them it was too stale. However, the suggestion scemed an opportunity to the Seattle Times to give Alaska some favorable advertising, and it never misses an opportunity to serve the Territory in any way that it can. Writing under the heading, “The Deal Is Off,” it said: The reaction to the proposal made by the Chamber of Commerce of Rome, N. Y., that the United States trade the Alaska “pan- handle” for that part of Quebec which lies south of the St. Lawrence River, seems to be unfavorable. The Ketchikan Chronicle observes with some bitterness that it is too late to make such a deal, because, due to the low price of fish, “negotiations already Other Alaska | not even see a joke| The plain way thereto is concerted avoidance of suicidal overproduction. Holding the Heights. | (New York Times.) { We are accustomed to look to Dan Walters of Swarthmore College for statistics of attendance in higher educational institutions of the United States. For the current academic year, his showing is that colleges and universities are “holding their own" in the number of full-time students. This may be in part not in spite of depression but because of it. Many may have continued in their studies who might have dropped out under the temptations of prosperity. Others may have entered college or gone on to graduate work who previously might not have dared the steep ascent to what is now pictured as the “plateau” of attendance—higher by 12 per cent. than five years ago. The small colleges—those with student bodies {under 500—had a slight gain, but the major in- abetting Roosevel’s enemies.

They would be willing, for instance, to let us have a few Arctic islands, which are ‘the property of the Dominion Govern- ment. Among the islands in the District of Franklin are Ellesmere, where we shall establish an Arctic meteorological station next year; Banks, where Stefansson wintered eighteen years ago when he found his blond Eskimo; and King William, where Sir John Franklin and many of his crew lost their lives in 1847, If Canada has nothing better than these bleak, ice-capped islands to offer the deal is definitely and finally off. Perhaps the officilas at Ottawa have been misled by the:ironical statement from Ket- chikan, that the “panhandle” district might be given back to the Indians. Actually it has a population of nearly 20000 and its mines produce more than $4,000,000 worth of minerals annually. Its fishing industry is valued at $15,000,000, and the investment in packing plants is estimated at $50,000,- 000. It has an almost unlimited supply of pulpwood. The intimation that we might trade this valuable district for a few frozen islands, however large, tends to chill the spirit of barter. Our principal interest was to see how the Volstead Act would work in spright- ly Quebec. The suggestion that we extend its blessings to Ellesmere and Victoria Islands is merely irritating.

In addition there are now five million or more students in the high schools of the United States, schools that are often referred to as the “people’s colleges.” The only unfavorable symptom is that there has been a decrease in the number of women students. “Where families have felt the financial pinch some of them have continued their sons at college and have kept their daughters at home.” On the whole, we are still holding the heights.
