The domestic situation nas improved to a point such a procedure was not necessary. The phr: turning the corner” has been used, misused probably nearer fits the case, so often and so ind iminately since the depression descended on the that it is generally being avoided by daring forecasters. Nevertheless, in of events since President Roosevelt as- sumed office, there is'ground for feeling that the low point in business activity, if not in earning power, may have been passed. Of first importance, of course, is the lift in commodity prices, embracing in the order of import- ance, corn, wheat, sugar and wool. Producers are geiting more money for their farm products. This was true before the suspension of the gold standard. The main danger in the situation lies in a possible entertainment of too extravagant hopes and of pro- moting unhealthy speculation. Legalization: of beer has quickened activities in many lines and is partially responsible for a loosen- ing of the public purse-strings. Retail buying has picked up in all of the larger centers and reports are that cash is plainly circulating more freely. Although there has been some small improve- ment in the unemployment situation, the broad program for relief of the Administration is not yet launched. The Wagner Relief measure is pending. The Tennessee River regional development plan, the farm relief program and the Administration’s great program of emergency public construction are tak- ing shape slowly. Perhaps all of these will be needed to shatter the grip of unemployment chains. But so long as commodity prices pick up and general more that [ even the more | and Douglas for $1.25 LARGER | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1933. for the belief | that [hc worst has been witnesed. | If now President Roosevelt can bring about some | stabilization in the international picture, induce for- eign competitors to adopt again programs to bring levels, | wage there ought to be a more general quickening throughout the whole world FINE CHARACTER PASSES.

Not that passing mention Clean-Up timely, and i a reminder The Alaska Steamship Company is celebrating the withdrawal of its principal rival from the Alaska transportation field in a uique way. It has ordered substantial reductions in both freight add passenger tariffs. This is a real treat to its patrons—one that they appreciate deeply. Japan’s Withdrawal. (New York Times.) It is needless to question the sincerity of the regret expressed by the Japanese Government in withdrawing from the League of Nations. Japan's association with the League has been to her a ground for patriotic pride. It placed her on a level with the greatest European nations. In the League itself every consideration and honor have been given her, and she has contributed her full share toward making it respected and effective. Now she surrenders all this prestige, under the pressure of | what she conceives to be a national necessity, fully | aware that the circumstances of her severance inevitably cast a shadow, at least temporarily, over her previous professions and fair repute. The language of the Imperial rescript cxplaining} why Japan resigns her League membership, to- gether with the words used by the Japanese Prime Minister, shows plainly that Japan realizes the gravity of the step which she has taken. It is a g | His life and connection by Percival : Margaret Malig- ni, neglected by her part- Mocrich husband, Jules, is continually annoyed by Raisul, son of the powerful Kaid of Mckazzen.

It is for this reason, no doubt, that both | the Emperor and Premier Saito continue to proclaim | the strong Japanese desire to work with other | nations in order to prevent the recurrence of al great war. Japan insists upon differentiating her military effort in Manchuria from the aggressive action condemned by the League of Nations and | solemnly repudiated by the Briand-Kellogg treaty. | Though she withdraws, it is evident that she hopes( still to be considered as a nation that believe: in and cherishes the aims of the League of Nations.
