The latest move of John M. Holzworth in seeking to have tied up all Alaska timberlands bordering the | “inside passage” tends to convince Alaskans that | his first step, the agitation for a bear sanctuary | en Admiralty Island, was a mere blind, adopted to conceal the real purpose—the prevention of the proposed establishment of a pulp and paper manu- facturing industry in Alaska. On a specious plea that timber cutting will despoil scenic beauty, he | urges conservationists to join him in a demand on the Federal Government that no cutting will be sllowed on the “inside passage.” will have the effect of protecting wild life. Mr. Holzworth continues to be misleading in his statements. He makes positive assertions that are absolute falsehods. He informs those whose aid he seeks that the Forest Service has given options on all of the panhandle, or Southeast Alaska, an area 350 miles long by 120 miles wide. He declared that 1. Zellerbach holds an option on Kupreanof Island and that the New York Zoological Society had asked him to surrender this to George T. Cameron o that the latter in turn could be induced or compelled to relinquish his ow t n Admiralty Island tracts. There isn't a word of truth in his assertions about the options. The National Fo: a in Southeast Alaska is slightly more than 16,000,001 acrzs. Of this, the Cameron options have a gross area of 587,803 acres, and the Zellerbach holding gross 1,079,519 acres. But much of these areas is not timbered and will not be included as contract lands. Thus, in the Cameron unit the net acreage is but while the Zellerbach options net 425,000 acr Thus, the total gross acreage of both groups is only about 10 per cent. of the Na- tional Forest lands, and the net acreage, which is the real basis to be used, is only five per cent. of it Yet Mr. Holzworth unqualifiedly asserts all of it is optioned. As to Kupreanof Island, the Zellerbach interests do not now and never have held an option on a gle acre of any kind of land there. If the New York Zoological Society’s Committee suggested the arrangement that Mr. Holzworth claims it did, then it {merely demonstrated just how little it really knows about the setup in Alaska. Most of the timber, Mr. Holzworth asserts, is mature, virgin growth ranging from two to six feet in diameter, spruce and hemlock, and fine building material. Again he has spoken falsely. He knows, or could have easily ascertained, that most of the growth is not fit for commercial saw-timber. Surveys made by expert cruisers for the Government as well us those of private interests have demon- strated that not more than 10 per cent. of the 80,000,000,000 feet of timber in Southeast Alaska is suitable for commercial building uses. That por- tion of it that is saw-timber, is, we admit, excellent in quality. But 90 per cent. of it is good for nothing unless it can be utilized for pulp and paper making, for which it is regarded as almost idéal. On the two optioned units, which Mr. Holzworth has attacked, the percentage of saw-timber is much less than one-tenth. They were partly chosen because of the small proportion of large trees Very little of either the Zellerbach or Cameron holdings are located on the “inside passage” as a matter of fact. Even if they were all so situated, there is no reason for Mr. Holzworth's conclusion that timbering operations would destroy the scenic value of the route. Since Alaska forests were put into National Forests, in 1909, about 1,000,000,000 feet of timber has been cut from them. Yet the thousands of passengers who have made Alaska tours in the recent past have been unable to tell where the cuttings were made, and to them, the forests they view from the decks of steamers are an untrod wilderness. The proposed operations on the two pulp timber units will have no greater effect and will be no more noticeable than those carried on in the past. Even if they did, that should be no valid argument against the develop- ment. It is upon the utilization of such resources that the future prosperity and growth of Alaska depends. If they are to be locked up just to keep Alaska in a wilderness state for the aesthetic en- joyment of summer visitors, welcome as they are, then we might as well get ready to close up shop and move to some other part of the country where we can enjoy the rights that are acknowledged to be the heritage of all A s IN THE NAME OF AN IMPOTENT THEORY. A large majority of those who d:feated the sales tax provision in the revenue bill are dry. They refuse to provide the money claimed by the Ad- ministration to be necessary to run the Government, but they insist in letting boctleggers and moonshin- ers make all the profit in the liquor business. The Government could make a billion a year that now goes to providing profits to those engaged in illicit traffic, and incidently, to kepeing Gangland in busi~ pess. And this is all due to an impotent theory. ~ | st |bank failures have very sharply declined. Reduction This, too, he adds, | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY, MARCH 28, 1932.

(Boston News Bureau.) “The improvement in many directions which New York banking conditions have shown has had its logical reflection in a brisk rally in New York bank ares. From their low points of ' this year, these issues have advanced 20 pér cent, to 65 per cent, Within the past few weeks determined efforts to strengthen banking faundamentals have come to a head, and already beneficial results are apparent. Widespread fear has given' way to moderate con- fidence. This improved sentiment has resulted in advancing price for bonds, and to some degree stocks, with the result that bank investment portfolios have enhanced rather than steadily diminished in value. Hoarding and deposit deflation appear to have been arrested. Perhaps of greatest significance, the Glass-Stea- gall bill has set up machinery for more effective assistance to institutions temporarily weakened, and in the New York bank rate from 3% per cent. to 3 per cent. was widely interpreted as marking the end of the bank panic in this country. Improvement in the English situation has permitted strengthening of the international money market. As a result of beneficial legislation and improve- ment in sentiment, banks will be able to function lin a more normal manner, particularly in meeting |sound commercial demand as it arises. At the end of last year 16 leading New York banks held 47 per cent, or $3,663,000000 of their $7,597,000,000 deposits in the form of cash or United States Government bonds. This represented a notably liquid condition in view of the troubled times, but it meant that the banks were not operating on their most rofitable basis. { Even reductions in dividend rate by Chase Na- tional Bank and National City Bank, in both cases from $4 to $3 annually, by Manhattan Co. from $4 to $2, and prospect of a few other reductions, |have been received with equanimity. Some of the| most pronounced advances from 1932 lows have been as follows: Brooklyn Trust 157 to 258, Chase Na-| tional 26% to 45, First National 1425 to 1930, Man- | hattan Co. 27% to 37, and National City 36% to 53%. | Etherial Chaos. (Manchester Guardian.) A contributor to the “American Mercury” has |taken the trouble to listen for seventeen hours on nd to the sounds that vex the ether in the United States and has lived to recount his experience in detail. It is an astonishing diary. So early as 6:45 am. instructions in “Cheer D: exercises for the |newly risen American were available, and before| | breakfast a weather report, a scrap of morning devo- tions, an unidentfied violin solo, an unmistakable tailor's advertisement, and the noises of a cuckoo, |of trotting horses, of a full orchestra, and of a sen- timentalist = singing “Good-bye, Sweetheart” were among the sounds authentically collected. Break- fast-time yielded advertisement of a farinaceous food {disguised as a tale told to the children, and there- after the ether was kept thoroughly busy. Back- chat comedians, conflicting weather reports, apos- trophe of a kissable baby, health hints leading to the advocacy of a brand of tea calculated to slim |the drinker, a horoscope, beauty secrets introducing “a parfume with a remarkable bo—quet,” an address from a United States Senator on ulcer of the liver, |an appeal for a National Home for Jewish Children, |interpolations of jazz, and a lecture on birth control |with a piano obbligato coming through it helped to pass the frenzied forenoon. Throughout the rest of the day the ever-ranging knob of the set admitted from all ends of the continent a more chaotic mix- ture of odds and ends than any European listener can well imagine. How, Miss Hopper managed to keep all her teeth till sixty, how backgammon should be played, how Mr. Amery, M. P, of London, would govern the world, and how scurvy may be avoided were among topics touched on, while the music swung dizzily from jazz to Wagner, and from Brahms to Irving Berlin. Is it not in England, asks the victim in the midst of his self-imposed torture, that the Government controls all the air, and shall |we ever have half as much sense? The details of |his diary give poignancy to his query. | Profitable Failures. (New Orleans Times-Picayune. World's history is filled with profitable failures. Inumerable instances are recorded of individuals |who achieved greatness only after intense efforts |to accomplish something in another line have failed |utterly and the person regretfully and unwilingly has turned to the work in which immortality was achieved. Much the same is true of material fail- ures. We all know how a blunder in the design of a coin or a postage stamp often has resulted in the production of a few of these “errors” that yere to become collectors’ curios of great price. We are leading up to mention of a special instance of tri- umphant failure in connection with the Lewis Car- roll masterpiece. The first edition of “Alice in Wonderland,” illustrated by Sir John Tenniel, was so faulty in its typography and reproductions that it was condemned by both author and artist and was withheld from sale. The few copies actually |printed were given away to various homes and hospitals and now are extremely rare, and valuablé for the collections of ardent bibligphiles.
