The energetic action of Delegate Dimond in making doubly sure that Alaska is mnot discrim- inated against in the public works sections of the National Recovery Act is just what Alaskans would have expected of him. He was alive to the value of that ‘legislation, its great need here, and he took no chances that the Territory would be left out in the cold when the allocation of funds was started. The first announcement of money the public works section contained, the Delegate advised the Associated Press, $250,000 for continued road construction in Mount McKinley National Park. It will be derived from the National Park program. There are other sections of the Act, Forest High- ways, other road projects, public buildings, airplane landing fields, Rivers and Harbors projects and other things for which money will be set up on a nationwide scale. Senator Wagner of New York, author of the measure, has informed the Delegate Alaska will not be discriminated against in these allotments. Before many weeks, there ought to be some extensive public works construction launched in the Territory, and carried on for the next two years. This will give a badly needed stimulus to labor and industry here and make conditions easier than for the past three years. alloted under NEBRASK/ S NEW SENATOR. In appointing Judge William H. Thompson, Grand Island, Neb., 79-year-old jurist, banker and prominent Democratic leader to the United States Senate to fill out the unexpired term of the late R. B. Howell, Republican, Gov. Charles Bryan named a man who has been ac‘ive in the councils of his party for a half-century. Starting in as City - Attorney in Grand Island in 1885, he rose to the top rank of the Nebraska Bar, and served six years on the State Supreme Bench, retiring in 1931. He was five times a Delegate from his State to Democratic National Conventions, served twice as a member of the party's National Committee. Twice he ran for Congress, once for the House and the second time for the Senate, losing both times. He was a lifelong friend and admirer of William Jennings Bryan and of Gov. Bryan. While Gov. Bryan undoubtedly had in mind the services rendered by Judge Thompson, one of the factors said to have entered into the final selection was the latter's desire not to run for re-election at the end of the term. Political writers are convinced Gov. Bryan has his own eyes on the seat after that time. DEBTS RISE TO PLAGUE CONFERENCE. That the war debts, some $11,000,000,000 in ‘the aggregate, have arisen to plague the World Econ- omic Conference in London does not' surprise anyone. Despite the fact that the Amevican delegation to that all-important gathering was instructed that this subject was not to be dealt with, and that President Roosevelt made no secret of the determina- tion of the American Government to keep that issue apart from the other issues slated for con- sideration, it was a foregone conclusion that this nation’s debtors would not, in fact could not if their own Governments are to survive, remain silent. But it was surprising that Premier MacDonald of England should make that the prime topic at the outset. It had been generally expected that the conference would take up the official agenda for discussion before turning to a topic that was not embraced in the official list of problems that must be settled if there is to be any hope for inter- national accord and world-wide recovery from cur- rent disturbed conditions. Bringing it to the fore is certain to delay decisive action on all matters, . if it does not defeat the entire aims of the con- ference. Without question the success of the meet- ing is already gravely prejudiced. Great Britain has offered to make a token pay- ment of 10 per cent of the sum due the United States at this time. President Roosevelt has indicated his personal willingness to accept it, but with the ex- plicit understanding that it is a token of Brit- ish willingness to pay and not payment in full of the $76,000000 due at this time. Beyond that, of coursehe has not the Constitutional g0 even were he inclined to do so. His announce- ment that he is about to call a debt conference in Washington is timely and may lghten the London conference’s atmosphere. The United States is the proper place for such negotiations. The place for the debtor to discuss new terms of repayment, or a scaling down of amounts owed it at the creditor’s place of business. His insistence that such nego- © tiations be bilateral and not multilateral is like- wise sound and fair. Our foreign debtors have . no right to expect that this country will deal with them en masse. If the conference at London successfully disposes of the great issues before it, including: Steps lead- nig to the world’s return to the gold standard stabilization of the world's principal currencies, in- right to cluding the dollar and the pound, at some fixed ratio, one with the other; an increase in the price of silver to raise the purchasing power of the billion silver users of the Orient and the rest of the world; the removal of exchange restrictions to per- |mit free flow of international trade and credit; agreement on a world tariff policy and the aboli- tion of trade quotas and other hampering devices; co-ordination of national bank policies and prac- tices; and boost world commodity prices, the United States can well afford to be generous in debt settle- ments. Until these issues are settled, there is little inducement for this nation to talk about revision of amounts or moratoriums. Chief of Police Davis has contributed a lot toward making the Fourth of July enjoyable for the kids by permitting them to use fireworks. He only puts a ban on “giant crackers and cannonades” which are dangerous. Youthful Juneau ought to express |its appreciation by co-operating with the Chief in this respect “Make mine the same,” declared Massachusetts to Indiana, Illinois, Nevada, Wyomin ‘Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island. Even if Congress continues to be eating out of the President’s hand, there are times it doesn’t seem to relish what it eats. Somehow, it seems that the road to prosperity doesn't appear as rough or as long as it did a few months ago. The “Revolt.” (New York Times.) President Roosevelt appears to have taken very quietly the reported uprising in Congress against his authority. He did not make it a personal thing. To the Democratic leaders who came to consuli him about the “revolt,” he apparently pointed out that it was realy against the elementary rules of arithmetic. If Congress set out to abolish savings to the amount of $170,000,000, it must manage to put that sum of money into the Treasury by means of new taxes. The Federal budget is complicated yet simple. columns of figures. If Congress chooses to convert a saving on the credit side into an expense on the debit side, it must make up by replacing somehow what it has abstracted. Otherwise the pesky thing will not balance. And what then are the President and his party to do who solemnly pledged them- selves to the country to, keep the outlay of the Government down to its receipts? Presentation of these plain mathematical facts to the statesmen conferring at the White House is said to have sent them away looking very "glum.” But that is th: normal result of having to look a deficit in the ace. Public finance has intricacies and difficulties enough without mixing them up with political. Yet the report has gained credence in Washington that the revolt against Mr. Roosevelt's leadership, espe- cially on the part of Senators, was caused at least in part by disappointments and delays regarding | patronage. So many Democratic sheep have been looking up to Representatives and Senators, but have not been fed! It is just possible that the Senate Committee which proceeded to hack and mutilate the President’s Industrial. Recovery Bill | iwus choosing that way to notify him that there are a lot of Federal offices as well as industries jto be recovered. Distribution of party spoils has been too slow to suit Democratic leaders in Con- gress. Their recent attitude is very like that of unhappy children whose parents know that they can be appeased and made quiet by a piece of sticky candy. But the President instead of send- ing them the sweets of office coldly gave them tables full of the sour figures of an unbalanced budget. Freedom. (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) We have all the freedom we require or at least all that is desirable. O. O. McIntyre, the column- ist, cited an incident recently that parallels the lament of those who contend we have no freedom today. Meclntyre broke a bowl filled with goldfish, and lifting the fish hurriedly from the rug, placed them in a bathtub filled with water. He noted that “they continued to swirl in a tiny space like other poor fish unappreciative of freedom when they have it.” It has been proved essential that we have laws to curb the acts of the aggressive that would overlap {the rights of the nonaggressive. Malcontents are constantly harping about the lack of freedom. The things they demand would destroy them. They are like babies reaching for fire or moths flitting around a flame. Our form of government has its weakness, as do all other forms of govermment. But those not {purely selfish understand that they must not do In substance, it consists of just two: certain things that they possibly could do in mod- eration because the majority could not use modera- tion in like degees. Communists blat about lack of freedom in Am- erica. If there is any freedom in Russia those who have honestly tried to find it have looked in vain. Rulers have been changed but Russia still has its czars and apparently czars not greatly concerned with granting freedom of action to their subjects. If the present government of that country is not standardizing human action and stamping out any- thing resembling originality and freedom then we do not know the meaning of those words. ’ People in this country will attain to greater freedom as they prove their ability to use more freedom as it should be used. A bloodless revolu- tion occured in America at the last Presidential election. We have the power to change our govern- ment or accomplish anything else that the voters desire through the ballot, and Communists, Faseists or any other advocates of contrary systems will find, in the final show-down, that our people are very well satisfied with their system of govern- ment, and appreciate—although not often admitting it—that they have all the freedom they can intelli- gently enjoy today.

" SYNOPSIS: Two murders have Been committed and two attempls have been made on Jim Sundean’s. dife, the last of which wounded him painfully. All are connected, Suz= dean and the detective David Lorn believe, with an attempt to steal the token by wmeans of which Sue Tally, their ‘ellow guest in a little French hotel, must claim her half of her father’s vast fortune. Sun- dean, although suspected of the murders by the French police, is chiefly concerned about the safety of Sue Tally. He ia awakened in the middle of the night, and smells tobacco smoke nearby. Chapter 27 WHENCE THE SMOKE? "t was very cold, and the glow from the red ashes still lighted the room sufficiently for me to see that there was no one about and the table before the door was undis- turbed. My shoulder throbbed as I pulled a dressing gown around me grd went to the window. One caseme: was already a little open, and I pulled it wider and opened the shut- ters and looked down into th= street. There was no one about, and J closed she shutters and, partially, the window again. There was the courtyard. Cautiously I moved the table away and opened the door. No one was in the long, half-dark corridor. Across the shadowy court the window and glass-paned door of the lobby made bright rectangles of light, and I could see two police- men; they sat at a small table di rectly under the light and were placidly playing some kind of card game. The men were not smoking. al though, it they had been, the odor would never have reached m: room But behind me the whole north wing was deserted and silent. walked carefully along its length 1 even opened, very cautiously, & door or two near my own room But the rooms were black cavities and the air that rushed to meet me was cold and stale and had that pe culiarly musty, dank smell or room: that are very old and have bees empty for a long time.

But there was nothing; indeed, there was no place for anything ex- cept behind the enormous ward- robe, and if 1 moved that I should rcuse the whole hotel in the proc- ess, for it was very heavy and large. However, 1 did drift into uneasy dreams again, and by morning the odor of tobacco smoke—a eilly and trivial thing at its clearest—had merged into those dreams and no lorger seemed important, although + told Lorn about it when I saw him.

Suspiclously I sniffed at the to- bacco the priest was smoking, could no' trace in it the fragrance of the tobacco smoke that had inexplica- bly drifted into my room during the night and fell to speculating regard- ing that enigmatical figure. Why had he taken 8o much trouble about an alibi? The fact that he had so carefully’ arranged a needless alibi was In it~ gelt suspicious., Highly suspicious, I told myself, looking at his long black legs and American shoes. He'd explained the shoes when he'd sald casually that he'd spent two years in America. But it suddenly struck me that his beard itself was a suspicious point. As a rule, only missionary priests or Russian priests wear beards, and he had the appearance of being neither. And yet, if as- sumed for purposes of disguise, it would have entailed a long and pa- tient process, for it was a real beard. He had not only taken pains to arrange a false alibi, but he had lied himself, and—which was still less what one might expect in a man ef God—he had practically forced lit- tle Marcel to lie in order to support his story.
