ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. M. Albright, who, also, had been with the Park Service since its creation, from the superintendency of Yosemite National Park to be Director. Although it was no light task to fill Mr. Mather’s officia’ shoes, Mr. Albright did it to the complete satis- faction of everybody. He maintained the high stand- ard set by Mr. Mather for the service and for the administration of the parks. When he resigned a few weeks ago to accept a fine business offer, it was made known by Administration spokesmen that the resignation was not political. It was directed by Mr. Albright’s personal wishes and not because the new Administration wanted to fill the place with one of its own selection. That politics played no part in the naming of a successor is evidenced in the appointment of Arnc B. Cammerer. Mr. Cammerer was Associate Di- rector under Mr. Mather for many years. He. con- tinued in that capacity under Mr. Albright. He helped both of them build up the service and estab- lish the high reputation of its administration. He is as much an integral part of the Mather system as Mr. Mather was and as Mr. Albright was. Under his direction the continuance of the Mather tradi- tion in the country's public parks is definitely assured. One thing the American delegates to the London conference are going to miss for a while after they get back home is that 70-foot bar in the base- ment. The Republican Party announces it had a deficit — ADMINISTRATION MOVES ON BROAD FRONT. As forecast in official statements several days ago, the Administration has moved to extend its fight against depression over a front as broad as the nation. That is what its establishment of a “general voluntary code of minimum wages and shorter working hours” throughout the nation’s industry. This can only be made effective through its acceptance by -the industries themselves which cannot have been surprised at the action. Several causes undoubtedly underlie the Admin- istration’s latest and in some ways its boldest step. Not the least of them is the delay that has been encountered in getting codes formulated by the industries on their own account. They have evident- ly experienced difficulties in arriving at a common agreement on the many phases involved. The vol- untary code offered to them by Administrator John- son will undoubtedly aid in recovery while more elaborate codes are being perfected by the industries. Another of the factors certainly behind the Administration’s latest step is the continued rise of commodity prices and other things without fully compensating wage scale advances and increase in employment. This is a problem that has caused the President and his advisors more worry than all of their other difficulties combined. Recently, Gen. Johnson in a radio address warned against too rapid price lifting, declaring: #! This is a dangerous business—this danger of runaway - prices. There are still about of $208,044 in the 1932 Presidential campaign. It wasn't the dollar deficit that brought grief to its heart, it was the shortage in votes. Two Out of Three. (New York Herald-Tribune.) American athletes gained two of the three major titles fought for in the British Isles in the week just ended. The third went to Australia, leaving small comfort for the strictly home-grown talent. Yet the defeat of Ellsworth Vines by Jack Craw- ford must be ranked as a great prize for the empire For in Vines this country undoubtedly possesses one of its great players. If something remains to be perfected in his backhand, there is true tennis genius alike in his other strokes and in his tem- perament. Only a truly great player could have mastered him at Wimbledon, and Crawford’s victory ranks him clearly in the great tradition of his country, with the unforgettable Brookes and Wilding. The Davis Cup matches take on a new interest, with American hopes distinctly less secure. At Forest Hills, in September, there should be a battle worth traveling miles to see. The victory of Helen Wills Moody was almost a certainty. She has now equaled Miss Lenglen's record of six championships, and not even Miss Round’s success in taking a set holds much threat for the future of the American champion. Mrs. Moody has the power and the skill to go right on taking championships for a number of years to come, if she chooses. The victory of young Denny Shute at St. Andrews could be classed as a surprise, except that golf is perennially full of surprises. There is no reliable “dope” for a golf championship. What Shute lacks in experience—he has been a “pro” for only five years=~he makes up in the all-around soundness of his game and especially in the per- 12,000,000 unemployed in this country and even those who still have jobs are largely on much reduced means. Any wildcat price-lifting will have its first bearing on the very creature neces- sities of these unfortunates—their means to keep out hunger, thirst and cold. The Ad- ministration simply will not stand for that, and we do not expect to have any trouble about it. Food, clothing, tobacco, cotton, furniture, wool and many other commodities have made substantial gains in prices. The slowness with which new avenues of employment were being opened to offset these undoubtedly played its part in the Govern- ment's establishment of the new code. By fixing limits to hours of employment jobs naturally will be opened for many of the millions still out of work. By establishing minimum wages the reductions in hours of labor will not be per- mitted to lower wage scales. It is a bold move that the Administration has made. It would have been better had the industries done it themselves. Their failure to act promptly convinced the President that the Government had to act. With his customary decision he acted with- out hesitation upon that conviction. Again he has lived up to the country's conception of him as a real leader. TRIBUTE TO F. W. BRADLEY. The esteem in which the late Federick Worthen Bradley was held in San Francisco, where he cen- tered his personal activities for so many years, and in California, his lifelong home, is voiced in the following editorial from the San Francisco Bulletin: Frederick W. Bradley was a distinctive figure in California mining, virtually born into the industry to which he devoted his life with signal success. Nevada City, the place of his birth, was one of the earliest mining camps and the date, 1863, was in a time when the great wave started in '49 still was rolling westward. To his early background Mr. Bradley added technical training and he became one of the pioneers in substantial mining operations in Alaska. For many years he has been recognized na- tionally as a mining authority of high rank. For his achievements in finding profitable methods of handling extremely low grade gold ores the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers awarded him the 1932 William Lawrence Saunders gold medal. His death takes from San Fran- cisco a familiar and respected figure and mining loses a strong and able character whose influence was potent and sound. . MATHER TRADITION CONTINUES. The National Park Service has had three Di- rectors ‘since its creation by Franklin K. Lane as Secretary of the Interior. Mr. Lane induced Stephen T, Mather, a successful business man of independent ‘means, to head the organization and to “sell” the .parks to the nation as public playgrounds. In a measure far beyond the expectations of all familiar with the working of Government bureau’s Mr. Mather succeeded, to the utmost the faith that ! Lane ability. - He held that through Republican adminis- ! _his death in 1929. res "’“.’m“- of a successor was as ;1‘. fection of his iron shots, that last test of a great golfer. A consolation prize goes to Scotland in any event, as Shute’s father began as a “pro” at St. Andrews before shifting to this country. Tradi- tion, apparently, holds in the game even if past performances do not. Federal Racket Drive. (New York World-Telegram.) Further evidence that the Federal Department of Justice means business in its drive against rackets is Attorney General Cummings’s selection of Joseph B. Keenan, Cleveland lawyer and experienced crime investigator, to be Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Federal war on racketeers and gang- sters. Announcing that he will strike at gang leader- ship, some of which is “intelligent, educated and expert,” Mr. Keenan says: Racketeering has been a profession. Be- cause of the huge returns, it has brought into racketeering men from other lines of endeavor, including my own. That last, coming from a lawyer, is courageous, refreshing, promising. It has long been apparent that high legal skill is at the command of “big shot” racketeers, not only to defend them in court after arrest but to guide them in disguising and concealing coercive practices under a pretense of legitimate business. Not a few members of the Bar could give intimate, expert information about racket methods and about the loopholes in the law through which racketeers escape. We recommend Mr. Keenan's statement to Bar Associations that may follow the recent example of the Federal Bar Association of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut in establishing committees for the repression of racketeering. 1If the organized legal profession would devote careful study, in the light of legal ethics, to some of the aid and advice racketeers get from lawyers, Federal and local authorities might be not a little strengthened there- by for the against rackets. In the last analysis no one knows better than the lawyer the weakness of the law. By that knowledge the lawyer as well as his client often greatly profits. Will the organized Bar lend its full strength to the anti-racket movement—even to the extent of revealing and condemning the unethical practices of some of its own members?

District Court, which was of major interest to the townspeople and outsiders who were in Juneau for the trial, the defense continued the introduction of its self-defense testimony.

A large. supply of money usually means higher prices; a large demand for money, as when it is necessary to dump securities to get dollars ot pay debts, tends to lower prices.
