THE FASTEST BUSINESS RECOVERY ON RECORD. three months there has occurred the most rapid recovery in general business that this country has ever witnessed. The increase in manufacturing lines has been most impressive, but for the first time in a decade the improvement In the past Inforpied on all. Territorial matters and has Kept his readers ‘in. touch with them through his paper's columns, For many years it published eight pages on six days each week. It was forced to reduce to four pages about one year ago as a result of de- pressed conditions. Even on that scale it has been spending some $20,000 annually, mainly for labor, in the community. Thus, its suspension would not only deprive Cordova of its source of information of world and local happenings, it, would reduce materially the community’s payroll. It is to be |hoped that the business men of the Prince William iSound metropolis will respond to the Times's effort in large enough measure to keep it alive. A community is largely known abroad by its newspaper, or newspapers. They reflect its com- munity spirit, or lack of it. ‘They mirror the caliber of its business and civic organizations. When a community drops ‘to the point where it cannot |support a newspaper as. public spirited and . as serviceable as the Times is, its days are numbered. Surely Cordova has not reached ‘that class. We would suggest that the Administration send Jim Farley over to London to whisper to the delegations that unless they behave themselves and work out the proper formulae they will get no plums from the patronage counter. The silence emanating from China during re- cent weeks might indicate that Japan has finally swallowed the Chinese dragon. The Non-Aryan Professor. (New York Times.) True to her traditions of religious and political agency to ald the university scientists, scholars and teachers who have been swept out of their posts by the wave of “non-Aryan” hysteria that now passes for patriotism in Germany. An Academic Assistance Council has been organized which has already issued an appeal bound to have its effect here and signed by such “Aryans” as Sir Willlam Bragg, Sir Fred- erick Gowland Hopkins, Sir Frederic Kenyon, Dr. Gilbert Murray, Lord Rutherford, Sir J. J. Thomson, bids fair to be shared by the agricultural classes,|Professor G. Elliot Smith and Sir Josiah Stamp, whose incomes have been raised many hundreds of millions of dollars through increase in farm product prices. The expansion in manufacturing lines can be accurately measured by such indices as steel opera- tions, carloadings and electric power output. At present all three of these are much ahead of the| middle of March, and also much ahead of a year {names that symbolize all that is fine in British in- tellectual life. Special lectureships and chairs are to be established in England for a limited period, after which the needs of the exiles are to be recon- sidered if the Nazi Aryan madness has not suc- cumbed to its own virus.

It is not bread alone that they need, but the opportunity to continue their work, whether it be research or teaching. How are they to be placed in positions suited to their talents? It must be recognized at the outset that good as German teachers are, high as German professors rank, relatively few of them are of such outstanding ability that they will be hailed as acquisitions of rare value. It is the placing of the inconspicuous rank and file and not of emi- {nent scholars and Nobel Prize winners that per- plexes. In our own case, immigration laws must be considered. Moreover, the higher educational and research institutions of every country have never In Only a few days ago Attorney-General Homer S. Cummings announced the institution by the Depart- ment of Justice of a relentless campaign directed against the racketeers. It is high time that some such authority move gaainst these lords of the underworld who are waxing wealthy by preying upon the great body of law-abiding citizens. The challenge of the overlords of crime is climaxed by the series of kidnapings that has stirred the entire nation. This is one of the most vicious and most serious of the types of racketeering that are a disgrace to the nation. It is conspicuous becouse it is the newest and its victims the most prominent. It is to be hoped that the Department of Justice will direct its energies toward curbing this evil. State authorities seem to be singularly incapable f€lt the pinch of adversity as they feel it now. normal times the problem of lending aid in the of dealing with the kidnapers. Daily their atrocities| become more bold and more frequent. They seem ! able to ply their iniquitous calling almost at will, collecting ransom money and escaping scot free while their victims, on release, do little to aid in bringing them to justice. Kidnaping is but one form of racketeering, of law-breaking. There never was a time when, united, organized society could not have driven out its criminal elements. It is to be hoped that the plans for consideration of a drive against crime and criminals will result effectively, and that the| social body will make a real effort to check the depredations of the criminal horde. And let the first effort be directed against the kidnaper who is at heart a potential murderer and who uses the threat of torture and death as the means of mak- ing his calling the source of profit. ONE PAPER SL —ANOTHE! SPENDS PUBLICATION R MAY HAVE TO. On the latest mail arriving nere from Western points, an announcement was received of the sus- pension of the publication of the Seldovia Herald. In its final edition of June 17, Lester Bucey, who founded and has edited that paper for the several years it was in existence, editorially announced: This issue of the Seldovia Herald ends the subscription year and, for an unde- termined period, ends publication of the paper. ‘The publication of the Herald was en- tered into with enthusiasm, and the prefer- ence is to continue uninterruptedly, with a sustained measure of that enthusiasm. But this being impossible under present condi- tions, there will be this suspension. The Herald has been a newsy publication, clean, and presenting the activities of its community and district in an interesting and informative manner. It was a fine asset to Seldovia and the entire Kenai Peninsula. The Empire regrets the inability of Editor Bucey to keep it going. It is unfortunate for Seldovia that it could not furnish it enough patronage for it to continue publication. A similar blow may be in store for Cordova. In its issue of June 27, the Cordova Times announced that its business had decreased to such an extent that its owner would be forced to close its doors unless conditions improved immediately. It was starting on that date a canvass to line up enough new advertising contracts and other business to permit its continued operation. It has stated its case with much modesty. No community, for its size and business stature, has been better served than Cordova has been by The 1.8 wmhensive telegraphic in which all of the important events of the summarized. It covered its local | | academic extremity created by Nazi savagery would be formidable enough. As it is, it will tax the in- genuity and the financial resources of the proper agencies in sympathetic nations to find places both for unemployed nationals and for the academic “non-Aryans” thrust by Germany beyond the pale. Relativity. (Manchester, Eng., Guardian.) Two notable: people arrived in Glasgow from London by the same train on Monday night—Pro- fessor Einstein and Miss Thelma Todd, the film actress. The actress was “mobbed,” in the familiar phrase for these affairs, by her admirers, while the Professor was allowed to walk alone and unnoticed from the station. Since he had arrived a day sooner than he was expected, perhaps that was his intention; or it may be that one day is as as another to an authority who is understood to have demonstrated that neither space nor time can be relied on to run straight from point to point or from hour to hour. But even if Professor Ein- stein's program had not developed a more or less characteristic kink (for when a man’s ideas:are in advance of his generation it seems not unnatural that his personal movements should be a day ahead of his own arrangements) it must be admitted that he would probably have had nothing like the recep- tion that was acccorded to the film actress. Miss Todd herself, who knew that Professor Einstein was on the same train, said that she was “really sorry” that all the welcome should have been for her while “the rest is silence” remained as the Professor's portion. But it is no use worrying over the obvious fact that, so far as the populace is concerned, films excite more attention than philos- ophy. Professor Einstein is of all living philosophers the one whose name is most widely known to the muititude—but in the matter of railway station receptions even he could not hope to loom so large as a film star. It is just another demonstration of relativity. There are “kinks in fame” as it is estimated by the multitude, evén as there are “Kinks in space” as it is meastred -by the mathe- maticians. s e S Scoring three in one day represents a regular seventh-inning rally for the repeal team.—(Indian- apolis Star.)

G, Steel, is well- liberty, Great Britain is the first to organize an| At the present time there is, it seems to me, just one thing on which this conference can agree and that is that it should adjourn. The essential facts are quite clear. ‘The United States will not stabilize its currency until a sufficient rise in prices has been achieved. The gold countries will not consider a devaluation of their currencies or an inflationary policy. The Brit- ish government is unable to take a decisive position, It follows that the only kind of “agreement” pos- sible iy agreement on an ambigu- ous formula such as the one the President has rejected, which would mean one thing in the gold coun- tries and another thing in the United ‘States. Nothing is to be gained by attempting to draft dec- larations which pretend to recon- cile wholly irreconcilable policies. These attempts at reconciliation are bound to fail. When they fail they poison the atmosphere. For nothing can be done in London now on any important issue which does not resound and re-echo and increase misunderstanding through- out the world. Every difference of opinion is magnified into a great issue and is then broadcast as an international dispute. The prudent thing to do, the safe thing to do. the healthy and self-respecting thing to do, is frankly to recognize that our policies differ for the pres- ent and to adjourn now as friends rather than to take the great risk of breaking up as opponents. ‘The time will come when as re- spects monetary policy we shall want the same thing. That will be when the rise of prices which the President is engineering has been consummated. Then it will be de- sirable and necessary to stabilize and consolidate the achievement. Until that moment arrives no im- portant agreement is possible here and only mischief can come from pretending that agreements are pos- sible. The monetary policy is the key to all other things. It is vain to imagine that the gold standard of the future can successfully be Copyrignt, 1933, New Today and Tomorrow By WALTER LIPPMANN The Conference Should Adjourn debated, until the objective of our price rising is defined and th2 re- sult experienced. It is wvain to imagine that tariffs can be dis- cussed when currencies are fluctu- ating and depreciating. Tt is vain to imagine that the problem of in- ternational indebtedness can be dealt with before the new level of prices is established. That being the case 3,000 delegates and ex- perts who have lost hopé of agree- ment can only get themselves into trouble if they continue to rub against one another. What I have said is, I believe, the real comviction of the ablest men in all the principal delega- tions. 'They do not declare it pub- licly because no .delegation wishes to take the: responsibility of pro- posing the adjournment that all of them desire. Why should not the President accept that responsibil- ity? The American program, both by its effects and its example, 1s admitted by all to be the greatest positive force in world recovery. To safeguard his program the Presi- dent has wisely rejected all pro- posals which would interfere with it. (He has not been afraid to dead- lock the conference. Why should he be afraid to propose that it ad- journ? My own belef is that such a proposal would be received with inward enthusiasm almost every- where. For men are weary of pretense and of muddling. An ex- ample of courage and of candor will do more good for the world’s spirit than weeks of evasion and ultimately futile negotiation. There is no need to search hard for a formula which might attempt to pretend that the conference has been a great success: the best for- 'mula would be the truth, which is that until the movement in Amer- ica has been consummated, we will not and other countries cannot make international agreements. The |conference might then be adjourn- ed subject to call by agreement among the British, the French, and ourselves. York Tribune Inc. MAKING FINE RECORD WITH Sifafoos Amazes Associa- tion with His .400 Clip at Bat INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 13. Even the shatlering of the long- standing American Association rec- ord for hitting safely in consecu- tive games has failed to excite Frank ‘Sigafoos, former coal miner and now Indianapolis second base- man. Every day he is out there, dash- ing around the keystone sack, quietest man on the club but one of the most dependable. Along with his record-breaking feat of hitting safely in 39 games in a row, Sigafoos has been leading the Association in batting most of the season. ! He’s Studying Law A veteran ball player, he would; be much sought after by major league clubs if he were a bit faster afoot around second base.

He is studying law between seasons and plans to enter that profession when his playing days are over. A shortstop in the big leagucs, he played with Chicago White Sox, . ‘Philadelphia Athletics and Cin- cinnati Reds. o Hilting Over 400 Last season with Indlanapolis he led all Association keystone regu- lars with a 980 fielding average for 154 games, and batted .313. This year he has amazed his bosses and fellow players with his more than 400 batting average most of the season and his steadiness. Even the strain of trying for the consecutive game hitting record failed to ma- terially affect his fielding. Sigafoos comes from Easton, Pa., and is 29. He began working in the coal mines when 13, but en- ‘tered semi-pro ball and first at- tracted attention in 1925 when the Philadelphia Athletics signed him. ——— e FIRE ALARM CALLS Ttz o Juneau P aint Store ing to fight beer with banalities—(Buffalo Courier- Express,) TELEPHONE 478 MURESCO We Carry .a Full Line JUST IN!
