ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. COMMISSIONER BELL PROCLAIMS NEW DEAL. In the interview given The Empire during his visit here, Commissioner Bell of the United States Bureau of Fisheries proclaimed a policy that ought to appeal to every Alaskan and to all those engaged in the salmon canning industry, whether as owner and operator of packing plants or those employed by them. It is a statement that ought to be studied by all Alaskans and every individual connected in any way with the industry. It envisions a “new deal” in that industry. It declares as a basic policy for “a fair deal all around; to those who have capital invested in the industry; to those employed in the industry; to the people at large who own this natural wealth in the ocean bordering on Alaska and the Pacific Coast; and to the consuming public.” That, of course, might be characterized in some quarters as a mere | generality; a general promise without specific details of how it is to be accomplished. But the Commissioner’s statement did not stop there. He set forth certain definite methods by; which the Roosevelt Administration, through him | and his associates in the Bureau of Fisheries, expect to bring about the accomplishment of these aims. He spoke frankly concerning these methods, lenvingi nothing to the imagination. Higher prices for the| finished product coincident with higher prices for the raw materials, and higher wages for the workers‘ and improved working conditions; drive out unfair | competition using cutthroat methods, eliminate un- justifiable price cutters and rid the industry of, “certain economically iniquitious trade practices; | regulate the supply in balanced relation to demand; to prosecute vigorously and without fear or favor those who fish unlawfully or violate rules and regulations of the Buredu of Fisheries; penalize guilty ones by restricting or closing entirely areas in which they operate. This, in brief, is the scope of the plan to bring the salmon canning industry - out of its depression and raise it to the level of prosperity for all connected with it. It is a large order. But most of the things sought to be attained under it have been possible of attain- ment by the canners themselves had they been able to agree upon a sound, sensible and business-like program. They can still be accomplished by the canners voluntarily. They should be. But if they are not, and that shortly, then the Federal Gov- ernment, under the provisions of the National Re- covery Act, which gives it ample power, will bring them about of its own volition. Alaska is just as vitally interested in the salva- tion of the canning industry as those with money invested in it. It is the Territory’s greatest industry, based upon the utilization of its richest resource, returns from which exceed those of all other indus- tries combined. The Territory suffers in the same degree from ruinous trade conditions that the owners do. If the industry is not prosperous, the Territory is likewise unprosperous. And Alaskans will applaud Commissioner Bell's outspoken announcement. They are equally gratified with his evident desire to accord them a share in saying what the regulations governing the industry are. This is something never before permitted them. The new Commissioner is devoting days of his first official visit to hearing what Alaskan fishermen, business men and other interested parties have to recommend in the way of future rules and their criticisms of existing ones. This is something more than a ges- ture on his part, as anyone who has conversed with him readily recognizes. He hasn't come as a scientist or fishery specialist. He has come as one seeking to find out the facts on the ground. He wants to know all there is to know about local conditions; about the state of the fishery itself; and every related subject that has a bearing on the prosperity of the industry and those whose daily bread depend on it as well as those whose money is invested in it. “Our basic policy is a fair deal all around,” he | declares. The people of Alaska ask for no more than that. And they will back the Commissioner | to the limit in honest and sincere efforts to achieve it BOARD NAMES OFFICERS. Tn electing H. L. Faulkner of this city and Mrs. A. H. Nordale of Fairbanks as President and Vice- President respectively, the Board of Education se- lected two capable individuals to preside over its deliberations and guide it in formulating and carry- ing out its policies. Mr. Faulkner was selected by Gov. Troy as member at large because of his sound ‘judgment, good business sense, executive ability and proved leadership. That, with his residence here which enables him to be in constant touch with Commissioner Anthony E. Karnes for any necessary official aid and co-operation, made his selection for the Presidency an ideal one. Mrs. Nordale has had years of experience in educational fields including that gained as a member of the faculty of the Alaska Agricultural College o ragha Sl AN |such daily average far exceeds the average main- |ing they ever received. They are being tided over (imminence of a new era, or at least the necessity ‘the present emergency is over, and School of Mines. She possesses unusual tech- nical qualifications for membership on the Board of| the kind that fits her extremely well for the Vice- Presidency. The Board could ‘have made no finer choices and they augur well for its successful ad- ministration of the Territory’s Public School system. A BARGAIN? Much discussion has been occasioned by the sale to a “preferred list" of customers by Morgan and Company of stock of the Alleghany Corporation. ‘Was this stock actually a bargain? The pre- ferred customers obtained the stock at $20 in Feb- ruary, 1929, Approximately 760,000 shares were thus distributed. Probably the majority to whom these shares were issued wish that Morgan's never had remembered them. . The stock went to a high of $56.50 in 1929—a price for which there was admittedly no sound basis. Then the 1929 crash came. The stock sank to $17. Last year, however, it went to a low of _|3%% cents. It was around $2.25 a share early this month, Some folk who still have the stock may Hfeel that the House of Morgan unloaded something, even though there was no such intent on its part. A Denver girl is reported to have been kidnaped in her “nightie” when she answered a knock at her bedroom window. The moral is, we suppose, | for girls not to wear night clothes when they answer knocks op their windows. Mussolini is decorating “dirt farmers” of Italy with a new medal. In the United States, the crying need of farmers is not for medals but for money to pay off their mortgages. Exceeding War-Time Record. (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) Speed in excess of that noted in war days in recruiting men for work in the National and State forests has been in effect during recent weeks. The Federal Director of Emergency Conservation Work states that by July 1 more than 275,000 men will be at work in the forests. The men are selected after examination -and sent to army conditioning ! camps. The War Department is accepting the mem and, after conditioning, installing them in forest camps at the rate of 5400 a day: The Federal Director has been advised by army officials that tained during the World War by the American army and navy combined. These men are not potential soldiers. The Ad- ministration desires to make that point clear. Should military authorities obtain valuable informa- tion and experience, however, in handling the work army with the speed now in evidence, the nation is just that much ahead. These young men, most of whom have been drifting like ships without rudders since the de- pression set in, will some day look back upon their service in the forests as the most constructive train- a dangerous period of formative youth, and the value to the men and to the country cannot be overestimated. Acting Together. (New York World-Telegram.) Never in the country’s history has so much been said as is now being said about the end of rugged individualism and the necessity of thinking and acting in the interest of all God's chillun. It is a hopeful sign. It seems to indicate the of a new era of co-operation, if that part of the human race comprised in the bounadries of the U. 8. A is not to continue to be ground between the millstones of an ever more efficient technology and ever greater concentration of wealth. Two examples of the preachments occurred on Thursday. The President's wife, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, said to the graduating class of the Wash- ington College of Law that a new “social-minded code of ethics” was coming into this country. She described her code: “Do not wish for special priv- ileges; wish for privileges for all. Attain all you can attain in developing your own gifts and use them for the good of the whole of society. You will never get the greatest joy out of living until you feel you are one with a great many people—a whole country, perhaps.” And here in New York Dr. Dixon Ryan Fox, Professor of History at Columbia University, told 161 graduates of the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Banking that the “new Am- erica” was emerging, and admonished, “If you bring this new age the individual materialism of the past you will not fit.” He urged his hearers to accustom themselves to regulation and to the serv- ice of the public interest rather than of personal ambition. In most cases advice of this tenor comes from the more idealistic class—college professors, min- isters, members of the new Government at Wash- ington. And yet it comes out strongly from many other sources. After three years of a depression unique in American or world history—a depression due in great part to prodigious economic advance—the instincts of people, and also their desperation, are seeking new outlets of hope. It is becoming prima facie evidence that under the modern large scale industrial economy, organization and co-operation must be effected universally as well as in the greav individual units of human endeavor. Dovetailing Economy with Relief. (New York Herald Tribune.) It now seems to be definitely determined that no wholesale discharge of army officers will be at- tempted. Too many are needed to supervise the Civilian Conservation Corps camps to permit of the retirement originally planned as a measure of econ- omy. This is excellent news. The new arrange- ment will save the army from a dismemberment disastrous both to its organization and morale. It will at the same time provide the Conservation Corps with ex_ncr.ly the proper personnel to enforce discipline and stimulate that spirit of teamwork in the public service so necessary to the corps’ suc- cess. & While drastic economy in governmental ex- penditure has been, and is still, the need of the hour, it has always seemed to us that the emascu- lation of the military establishment, already ex- cessively modest, was too great a price to pay even for this objective. In addition, to throw several thousand trained executives out of jobs while pro- moting work for the unemployed challenged one's conception of logic. Happily the very obvious solu- tion of using these men in the war against idle- ness has won the day. The waste of their elimina- tion is avoided, the army’'s pay roll is lightened and the cause of unemployment 1ielief is appreciably benefited. The whole episode offers a lesson in the advantages of co-ordination in the administra- tion of Federal affairs well worth emulation when Pl The SYNOPSIS: Suspected of UnioToe oaiders U iR, pollees wounded by a shot from an un- known * assailant, Jim Sundean tries to see his way clear.

He sure- ¥ didn’t expect you to belleve 1t1" “Yes,” she said reluctantly. = *I hink he did. You see, it really is & 1ew safe. I know that, because I've )een here, you see, and I remember when it came. And it actually is a ittle difficult to open, and I've seen iim obliged to follow the directions ind perhaps try two or three times Yefore he could get it open.” It seemed, somehow, a maladroit- 1088 inconsistent with what I should lave expected of Lovscheim, “Here’s the doctor,” Sue went on ibruptly. “You'd better let him look it your shoulder.” The wound was doing very well, the doctor indicated some twenty minutes later fn my own room. I walked back through the corridors and to the door of the lobby with ilm, and we parted most amicably, aving held an earnest conversation lor half an hour, during which nei- ther, I was convinced, understood me word that the other spoke. Lovschlem was at the desk. He bowed greasily to the departing doc- tor and then to me, inquiring how ny shoulder was doing. “Better,” I sald shortly to Lov- schiem. “By the way, Lovschie where does this priest come from “The priest?” repeated Lovschiem doubtfully. His little eyes were spec- ulative. The dirty jewels on his lal dark hands winked maliclously at | me. A distinct change had come over Lovschiem during the last two days. He was frightened, glistened uncom- fortably, and looked as if he had truly not slept; but there was some. thing more than fright and weari ness in his face and hurried, fum. bling speech. Had I not felt as I did toward Lovschiem I should have call it a queer sort of perplexity. “M'mm,” he sald slowly. “Paris, I believe. Yes, Paris. He’s come here for his health, you know.” “How long has he been here?” “Three weeks, perhaps. I have it all here. Why do you ask?” DID not reply. 1 was looking at the bright pamphlet which came into sight as he moved the register. He followed my gaze and with ey sudden movement pulled the regis- ter again toward him, so that it cov- ered the printed booklet again com- pletely. “See here,” he said with unctuous amiability. “1 will show you the date he arrived; almost three weeks to the day.” 1 was conscious of his eyes follow- ing me and 1 was wondering, not why a railroad time-table was there on the desk of a hotel lobby, but why he had covered it so quickly. “Ah, good-morning, Mr. Sundean,” boomed a voice so startlingly near me that I all but leaped skyward. It was Mrs. Byng, of course; or rather a bundle of shawls and fringes from which Mrs. Byng's nose and voice, each equally belligerent, emerged. “And how’s the shoulder?” she shouted. “Come over here and sit down.” At a commanding gesture 1 sat down in the chair beside her.

Then, consclous that her sharp eyes might be reading mbre than I chose they should read in my face, I said: “Isn’t there a possibility that you are mistaken?” “Not in the least,” she said promptly. “I'll tell you how it was. [ didn’t tell the police and shan’t, for I rather like the girl. But this is what happened, Do you know where my room is?” “It's on the second floor, isn’t 1t?” She nodded. “Number 11; it's just there at the turn of the corri: dor from the south wing, where the Jounge 1s, you kngw, into the middle section of the hotel.

You know the night that poor man was murdered? well, what was she doing turning out the lights?" “But she didn’t,” 1 said. The woman snorted again. “Didn’t, h'mm?” she said scorn- tully. “I saw her do it with my own eyes.” [ for climax—*“thirty minutes or sc ‘| later was hauled out by the police for murder.” “But—are you surg it was Mise Tally?
