ALASKA CIRCULATION GUAWANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. TERRITORIAL CHAMBER NOT GUILTY. In a recent issue the Cordova Times, under the caption, “Was the All-Alaska Chamber Wise?”, edi- torially commented as follows: Among the work of the All-Alaska Cham- ber of Commerce, as reported in the minutes of that organization, read at the last meet- ing of the local Chamber, was the adoption of a resolution calling upon the Forestry Bureau to cancel the Cameron-Zellerbach pulp wood application in Southeastern Alaska “because there was an overproduction of pulp and paper in the United States.” The Cordova paper has mistakenly construed the action of the Territorial Chamber of Commerce. That organization has at no time asked the Forest Service to cancel any pulp wood contracts. On the contrary it heartily endorsed a resolution passed by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce that protested against the demand of the American Pulp and Paper Association on President Hoover to cancel the Gov- | ernment’s commitments to George T. Cameron and associates, and to the Zellerbach interests The minutes of the Territorial Chamber to which the Times made reference are as follows: Secretary read a letter from the Juneau Chamber of Commerce enclosing a resolution passed by that Chamber wherein they pro- tested “the action of the American Pulp and Paper Association in requesting th2 President of the United States and the Di partment of Agriculture to refuse to enter into any countracts, for. the sale of pulp wood and timber from the National Fore of Alaska, and to halt pending negotiations for the sale of pulp wood timber, giving as a reason therefor that there is already an over- production of paper in the United States, Canada and Newfoundland.” The minutes further show that the Territorial Chamber did endorse the resolution of the Juneau organization. The Times's conclusion that to ask for the can- cellation by the Government of the leases held by the Cameron and Zellerbach interests “would have been as logical as to have asked that the Kenne- cott mines be closed down because of the over- production of copper,” is exactly the position taken by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce and endorsed by the Territorial Chamber. And it is very gratify- ing to Alaskans that the Department of Agriculture, in an official communication to the American Pulp and Paper Association took the same attitude. A CREDITABLE PUBLICATION. The Fifth Annual All-Alaska Review, published by the Cordova Daily Times, copies of which are available locally, is another of a splendid series of reviews wiich the Cordova paper has compiled and issued since 1927. Editorially and typographic- ally, it is highly creditable and one in which the Times properly may take pride. It has a large number of well-written and timely articles. There are articles covering practically every community in the Territory that contain reliable and uptodate information about each. The leading article is written by Gov. George A. Parks about the sources of Territorial revenue and the avenues of governmental expenditures. It is a thoughtful, serious contribution, prepared with the Governor's usual care for accuracy and ought to be read by every Alaskan. Commissioner Henry O'Malley has contributed a timely picture of Alaska's fisheries. The Forest Service's recent re-organization is fully explained in an article by M. L. Merritt, Assistant Regional Forester. Other contributors of note are: Maj. Malcolm Elliott, “Developing Alaska's High- way: Col. O. F. Ohlson, General Manager of the Alaska Railroad, “The Government Railroad—Devel- oping Alaska;” rles Simenstad, “Alaska’s Mines and Mining;” Barrett Willoughby, “The Pioneer Days ;" J. E.

Mize, “The Weather—Tem- perate and Benefici: W. K. Keller, Commissioner of Education, “The Territorial School System;” Lee ©C.

Only ons amendment was offered, by a North/ |Carolina Senator, and it was adopted. It provided | that $50,000,000 might be used by the Secretary of | Agriculture for extending loans to small farmers. The bill provides for the creation of a corpora- tion with a capital of $2,000,000,000—$500,000,000 of which is furnished by the Government and the rest will be raised through the sale of bonds.

Had there be:n any dispostiion to play politics in this instance, the Democrats are in ideal posi- |tion to do so. They control the. House and its committees. They could have held it in committee for many wezks and deferred a vote on it almost indefinitely. That they did not do so but acted with celerity is the best proof that could be presented of the willingness of the party to co-operate with | Mr. Hoover in sezking to solve national problems. | Many persons were to have been made rich from |inheritances from the almost-fabled Buchanan Es- tate.

(Daily Olympian.) Harry Robettas, aerial clown, made one of the |supreme gifts of the holiday season. Because he did, his act is over. The orchestra no longer needs his cue. Robettas made an engagement to perform at a holiday party at the Sawtelle Soldiers’ Home in Los {Angeles. When the time came the clown was ill, |confined to his bed. His friends told him that he| couldn't appear in his act. He told them that he| |would try, anyway. | The old veterans had gathered for their party. | They were going to be amused. Sitting around, day after day, remembering battles that nobody wants to hear about now, grows tiresome. They leaned |forward, a little more breathless, when Robettas arted his act. They envied him. his teeth on a wire above the stage. the men said, as they applauded. Robettas, meantime, as he swayed in his comic role, was biting the wire a little more heavily than| usual. Severe internal pains were shaking his body. But he wouldn’t give up. He was determined not to end his act ahead of time. But when the act was done, and the applause had died away, he discovered that he was paralyzed. The strain had been too much. He can’t perform again. “* Many peopile rifice, *‘Perhaps just the same. land he took it. The memory of the back-stage scenes when he played the road on circuit, the lure of the Big Top, la blue sky scattered with stars, and the thrill that comes when the orchestra swings into a melody that means the performance is starting of these will be a little lovelier to the man who knows that his last act was his best. | The clown was dangling by “Some feat,” will say that it was a useless sac- it was.

While the United States was going wild in stock market speculation, our little sister nation a few miles northeast of us found vent for the gambling urge that fructified in creating prosperity instead of creating breadlines. Instead of betting a bucketshop on what shell the pea was under, they syndicated on prospectors. Each subscriber paid in @ stipulated amount each month to defray the expenses of gold huntecs| while in the field. If their assets stumbled upon a likely looking prospect, the chairman of the syndicate immediately opened negotiations with the big mining operators and effected a sale. By this syndicate method it is possible to utilize airplanes in setting the prospector down in precincis where the geology is correct, keep him going for a season and have him returned in the fall It is reported that some sizeable fortunes have been made, and those who. were not so fortunate sacrificed very little in a game that has all of the thrill attaching to speculative ventures.

A Well-Sustained Pose. | (New York Times.) It was said of a man who fell from a roof the first time that it was an accident, the second time it was a coincidence, but when he did it a third| time people agreed that it had become a habit.| The some line of reasoning might be employed| of nations befriending other nations. The London| News-Chronicle, displeased with the British Foreign| | Minister, Sir John Simon, for his failure to back lup Secretary Stimson's latest note to Japan, com- plains: For no reason at all we have allowed | America now to pose before the world as the one true friend of China—once when she made the original “open door” declara- | tion, once when she returned the Boxer | indemnity, and now, for the third time, when, alone among the Powers, the United States has the courage to call Japan's buc- caneering expedition by its right name. Does it quite describe the situation to speak of allowing the United States to “pose” as the only friend of China? Qur friendly attitude may per- haps mean that we really are a friend of the Chinese people. | But if the national income is only $24,000,000,- 000 and crime costs $12,000,000,000; fires, $5,000,000,- 000; accidents, $3,000,000,000, and Government $4,- 000,000,000, how do we pay for gas?—Los Angeles ‘Times.) ‘Governments to which the people are continually running with their hands out never fail to gather all | = By EDWARD STANLEY LONDON, Jan. 28—Sir McGowan works alone in a big room with tall windows looking out over the Thames and across to the palace of the Archbishop of Can- terbury.

Sir Harry looks at the problem from the standpoint of hardboiled economics. “Our industry,” he says, “is or-| ganized on a peacetime basis, sup- plying peacetime needs.

Roush, who formerly played with the New York Giants, said he is through with baseball. He an- nounced he would make no effort to join either a major or minor league club.
