The champions of Sitka in the scramble for the location for the new Pioneers’ Home shortly to be constructed have all the best of the argument that so far has been advanced. The other communities seeking to draw the prize lack the one essential things—the backing of the individuals who reside in the Home. After all, although the Territory will pay for the new institution and defray the costs of maintenance and operation as it does with the the wish of those who live in it should first be considered. That is where Sitka’s position is strongest. Not once but several times the resi- dents of the Home have expressed themselves in no present one, uncertain terms as being opposed to moving it any- where else. There are many other factors that favor Sitka Not the least of these is the beauty of Sitka’s natural setting It is altogether fitting that the Territory should erect on that spot a modern, com- modious and fire-proof building of architectural de- sign that will blend with the natural beauty of the place. No other community in Alaska, not even Juneau, vies with Sitka for that In cost of construction and cost of operation| and maintenance, Sitka has an advantage over any| community north or south of the Gulf of Alaska.| In climate, none anywhere in the Territory can| surpass it. And these factors cannot be overlooked in the final decision There is a further reason, more or less intangible but nevertheless real. Sitka has had the Pioneers’ Home since its establishment as an institution 19 years ago. It has sort of builded to it and for it. It has a kind of vested interest in the institution by reason of that long possession that none other has. And that interest gives it real rights that should be taken into account by the Commission charged with selecting the site and erecting the new plant. The local Chamber of Commerce, while realizing all these things, felt it wiser from a viewpoint of general policy not to endorse either Sitka or Doug- las. Both towns had sought that support. Skag- way and Craig, both friends and more or less near neighbors to this city, are also bidding for the new institution. They, too, undoubtedly would appre- ciate Chamber's endorsement. So while indi- vidual members of the Chamber are personally sympathetic to Sitka and undoubtedly desire to see the Home remain there, as an organization it was felt unwise to take any decided stand. Douglas, of course, in a matter of division would have the Chamber’s heartiest support. If the re moval of the Home from Sitka were already de- termined upon and the question of a new site was the only thing to be decided, then Juneau's business men would undoubtedly throw the weight of their support to the town's island neighbor. But that is not the case. The real fact is that some half- dozen or more towns are seeking to wrest away from Sitka an institution that has been one of its most cherished possessions for almost one-fifth of a cen- tury despite the fact that those who live in the institution do not want to be moved at all.- And that condition bars this community from lending the aid that under any other circumstances would be extended to Douglas without the asking. Douglas is entitled to all of the support the local Chamber of Commerce can give for various things it needs worse than it does the Pioneers’ Home, and the SHOE A Saving of at Least 35% in our store SEWARD STREET | California.

And these Chamber of Commerce can and will assist it to obtain The Pioneers’ Home is rightfully Sitka’s. What- ever min faults there may be to it as a location, they are outweighed by weightier circumstances. It is the proper place for the Home, and none who is acquainted with all the facts believes that there is any serious question about it being retained | there. CONTROLLING INFLATION. Proof that the Government can control infla- tion was offered the other day by Lewis W. Douglas, Director of the Budget, in an address delivered | before the American Newspaper Publishers’ Asso- | ciation. His r ks dealt largely with balancing of the national budget, and, while he did not claim that the Roosevelt Administration has already | balanced it, he asserted it could and would do so. ; Concerning the budget and inflation control, the Director said The task of balancing process of accomplishment. I am sorry I can't say that it has been accomplished, but I can say that it will be accomplished, and when I say that I mean it. There are many ways in which this balancing of Federal expenditures and re- ceipts can be expressed, such as employ- ment and happy and contented homes. There could be nothing more unfair to the people as a whole, to the war veterans, to the Federal employees, to holders of insurance the budget is in policies and all others than budgetary or uncontrolled inflation. And for that reason the credit of your Government and my Government must be kept unimpaired. There can be no recovery if we have a fear of going forward. Here is your Gov- ernment demonstrating complete control over its own affairs. Is not that an assurance against budgetary inflation? The fact that the Government can control its fiscal policy shows that it can control inflation. Gen. Smedley D.

Add Germany and France for good measure, General. The New Orleans Type. ((New York Times.) Yesterday the 10,000 ton cruiser New Orleans left the ways at the navy yard in Brooklyn. A month ago the San Francisco was floated at Mare Island, The phrase “pocket battleship” some- {times applied to thes ships came into fashion after the' Germans surprised the world by turning out the 10,000-ton battle cruiser Deutschland. It was said that this “new design of warship is disconcerting to other Continental powers, because they have nothing that can both overtake and stand up to the Deutsch- land.” To speak of the new United States 10,000- ton cruisers as pocket battleships does not put them on exactly the same plane, although they have great- er speed and a formidable battery of 8-inch guns. The point to bear in mind is that they are improve- ments upon the first cruisers of their tonnage (of a class of fifteen) to be added to the navy. Late in 1932 the Indianapolis went into commission. Adjust- ing of the ship, but that was remedied before the “shake-down” cruise was resumed. British eritics of our earlier big cruisers suggested that better armor protection, even at a loss of speed, would be advisable. The Naval and Military Rec- ord, commenting on the next cruisers to be laid down in the United States, said: “That the modifi- cation of design in the new American 10,000-ton type will result in the most formidable fighting ship within this international category seems pretty clear.” ‘That has been the aim of the designers. The Astoria will soon be launched and the Minneapolis and Tus- caloosa are more than half built. The keel of the Quincy was to be laid down early this year.
