ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER | THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. | i THE GOVERNOR'S REPORT. The annual report of Gov. George A. Parks to the Secretary of Interior covering the fiscal year ending June 30, 1932, is ome of the longest and most comprehensive ever compiled by a Chief Execu- tive of Alaska. The wealth of detailed Information contained in its numerous pages bespeaks a wide knowledge of the Territory and its people, and the‘l conditions which they faced during the period cov- eerd. It is a document that is of real value to students of the Northland and to all of its residents. | If it does not depict as rosy a picture as some| Lof those issued in former years, neither does it portray aggravated social and economic evils that| have followed throughout the world in the wake of the depression. Very properly it emphasizes that Alaskans do feel the current widespread economic| disturbances, but the extent is much less than is to be found in other parts of the country. The fisheries, all branches of the mining industry except gold mining, and the lumber industry are hard hit as elsewhere. Gold mining prospers and the pros- pecting multiplies, spurred rather than hindered by the depression. We are not without our unemployment problem. So far it has been handled without special aid from | Federal authority. The Governor stresses this fact. It is in significant contrast to the many forms of financial assistance extended by tihe Federal Government to the several States during the past year. Many of those forms Ald®ka does not desire to share, according to Gov. Parks. Loans are not particularly needed, the Governor thinks and none are sought by him. Money for charity is not asked. Alaska has always tended to its chartiable nzeds and said nothing about them. But Federal appropriations for public works such| as roads, Rivers and Harbors projects and badly needed public buildings, extended with lavish hand to the States, have been denied to the Territory even on a normal scale. This, the Governor does right in making clear. Federal funds for Federal Aid Highways and Forest Highways for the current fiscal year have been made available to the States in more than usually generous amounts. Alaska does not share in the Federal Aid Highway money. The appropria- tions for the Alaska Road Commission here is com- parable to that fund. Instead of making a normal appropriation, the sum made available for the Commission’s work this year was about 50 per cent. of that of the past several years. The Territory does share in Forest Highway moneys. Under the general law of 1921, allotments to the Territory are made on the same basis as to other National Forest units. Congress last Spring, motivated by economy and misguided by false information given it by a member posing as a posted expert on Alaskan road matters, tied up almost $1,000,000 of Forest Highway funds accumulated as a working reserve in the Territory, which was subsequently diverted elsewhere for ex- penditure, and limited the amount to be expended from this year's $934,000 allotment to $350,000. Its action in these two instances aggravated unemployment problems in all parts of the Terri- tory. Hundreds of Alaskans, normally earning their livelihood by employment on road projects, were forced into idleness because all classes of road work had to be curtailed by lack of funds. Many of these men are today without means for the most meager subsistence. There should be no repetition of these circumstances another year. It shouldn’'t have been necessary for the Gov- ernor to call such facts as these to the attention of the Federal Government. The Administration and Congress ought to have been advised that such results would follow the slashing of road appro- priations and allotments. Officials who have an opportunity of appearing before Congressional Com- mittees should have made such representations—and didn’t. And while the Governor has done so, it came too late to ward off the blow since his report follows the final action of Congress by many months. The report makes no reference to legislation regarding the scope of Alaska Government or the approval of the bill repealing the Alaska Bone Dry Law. WILLIS NOWELL STILL AN ALASKAN. . It will please the people of Juneau to know that the retirement of Willis E. Nowell as representative of the Alaska Steamship Company in this section, whiéh will take place, acgording to the terms of his resignation, the first of the coming year, does not mean the severance of his residence in this City. Juneau would not be Juneau without Mr. Nowell, . who has been a. citizen of the City most of his of Juneau's lifetime.

With Thanksgiving Day in the near offing, a great many of our people—far too many—may be what they should give |thanks or in any way respond to the spirit the day is meant to invoke. They know full well that they have suf- fered and have been sorely tried; and it may be hard for some of them to realize that they have any cause for thankfulness. And yet no cause for thankfulness could tran- |scend that which comes to us on the joint high authority of the great insurance companies and the American Public Health Association. The people of the United States and of the neighbor Dominion of Canada have enjoyed better health during the past year than ever before. From their comprehen- sive and accurate records these same high authorities attest the fact that the whole three years of econ- health of the people. world save these two, ours and Canada, wherein conditions as to climate and official solicitude and safeguards are very similar. In many parts of the world economic distress leads inevitably to famine; and the lack of food, clothing and shelter brings on disease and death, often in the form of sweeping |pestilence. By contrast with such dire possibilities, here is the gist of testimony as to conditions in our own country given in his annual address by Dr. Louis I. Dublin, retiring President of the Pub- lic Health Association: The health of the people, as measured by reports of sickness and deaths, has never been better, in spite of the fact that this is the third year of serious economic depres- sion. With ten millions unemployed and with the general state of mind clouded with many perplexities and uncertainties, the health of our communities has stood up well. Sickness and death rates are either the lowest in the history of the country or very close to it. How that record has been achieved is not a matter for political or academic dispute. Through- out this trying time the health and welfare of the people, the care of those who needed care, have been the first concern of everybody in author- ity, from President of the United States down to the health officers and relief agencies of the smallest units of our Government. All who could help have helped; and no matter what else may seem to be wrong, there is surely cause for thanks- giving in this greatest of all blessings. Calm Banking Situation. (Boston News Bureau.) Nothing could better illustrate the change ir psychology from last Spring to this Autumn than the continuation of the inflow of gold into thie country. has been returned, within $28,500,000 or 6 per cent of all that had been taken out during hte Spring. Such a movement eliminates virtually every pos- sibility of the recurrence of an international bank- ing panic. Even now foreign balances in this coun- try are not excessive and, meantime, the Bank of France has accumulated the largest gold stock in its history. Calm banking conditions are assured for the winter. And with calm banking conditions goes the as- surance of unparalleled money cease. Call money unofficially below 1 per cent., time money available below 1 per cent. for all dates up to 4 months and commercial paper commanding but 1% per cent. speak for themselves. Such rates exercise restraint upon liquidation and afford every basis for expan- sion where there is a glimmering of commercial hope. Sentiment is growing that the seasonal improve- ment in business this autumn marks the turning of the tide and despite the vicissitudes and disappoint- ments that may still lies ahead the road to recovery has been pioneered. In that recovery easy money and the support of the Reconstruction Finance Cor- poration may prove powerful stimulants. Our Idle Armies. (New York Times.) Why, asked Professor Felix Frankfurter the other day, should the richest country in the world have tain, France, Germany and Italy? The case is unquestionably as Professor Frank- furter describes it. England, with more than one- our minimum of 10,000,000 unemployed. and Italy are out of the question. about seventy millions, had 6,000,000 idle and we not very many more. of unemployed for many years, full employment up to three years ago. larger mass of overproduction. The other answer is in the realm of psychology. whether they go in for work, play, boom or panic. cinnati Enquirer.)
