ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. UP TO BUSINESS ITSELF. The viewpoint of the Administration on “planned” industry was recently put into a few terse sen- tences by Donald Richbourg, General Counsel for the National Recovery Administration. They ought to be read and thoughtfully considered by all busi- ness men. Addressing the Merchant Association of New York, he declared: There is no choice presented to Ameri- can business between intelligently planned and controlled industrial operations and a return to the gold-plated anarchy that masked as “rugged individualism.” There is only the choice presented between private and public election of the direction of industry. If the privately-elected board of directors and the privately-chosen managers of in- dustry undertake their task and fulfill their responsibility, they will end all talk of dictatorships and government control of business. But if they hold back and waste these precious hours, if they take counsel with prejudice and doubt, if they fumble their great opportunity, they may find it has gone forever. That statement briefly represents the view of the Roosevelt Administration on the Government's relation to business. It doesn’t want to control it or dictate to it. It hopes sincerely that business will National Recovery Act that will put back to work every American who wants a job and at wages high enpugh to insure a comfortable living. If business ' doesn't do it, the Government as a last resort will chart such a course for it. THE HOG PROBLEM. American hog farmers are beset with an excess production problem because of a severe contraction in their export outlet, just as are wheat growers and cotton farmers. Where the American hog farmer averaged 20 foreign customers for pork in the 1926-29 period, he had only eight left in 1932. And where he had 40 foreign customers for lard during this same depression period, he had less than 30 in 1932 The shrinkage in exports during the past year alone was equivalent by weight to approximately a half million market-weight hogs, reports the United States Department of Agriculture. And the difference between exports last year and our record peace-time exports in 1923, before European agri- culture began to recover substantially from the war, is equivalent to about 8,000,000 hogs. To put it another way, the decrease in annual exports since 1923 is equivalent to one hog out of every six hogs in the Corn Belt farm feed lots this year. NO EXTENSION OF WILD BIRD SEASON. That there will be no relaxation of restrictions on hunting seasons and bag limits for migratory wild fowl in the immediate future seems to be indicated by a recent statement issued by the United States Biological Survey. This authority, after studying reports from all over the United States and Canada, declares that any increase re- ported in the number of wild fowl are wholly local and are without significance in the general situation. In the opinion of the bureau's experts many species of ducks are at a seriously low ebb, though the status of wild fowl may be on the whole some- what better than it was two years ago when the seasons were first curtailed and bag limits reduced. Continuing the fact-finding program of the past several years with regard to the status of water- fowl in the United States and Canada, the Biological Survey made extended field investigations during the fall and winter of 1932, and the spring and early summer of 1933. During the seasons 1931 and 1932 waterfowl had reached the lowest point on record, through cul- mination of unfavorable conditions, including serious and long-continued droughts in many of the most important northwestern breeding areas. This made it necessary to restrict the hunting saeson to a single month in 1931, and to two months in 1932. Many species are still at a seriously low ebb, but the status of waterfowl on the whole is slightly better than in 1931. This is due to some increase in snow and rainfall, consequent improvement in the food supply, and to saving the breeding stock by reducing the kill during the last two seasons. This state- ment, it should be emphasized, is based upon a comparison of the present with 1931, the poorest season that we have ever experienced. Some areas normally favorable for waterfowl have shown good concentrations of birds. Others have been less satisfactory. The most important concentrations during the winter and late autumn of the 1932-33 season, taking all kinds of waterfowl into consideration, took place in western Lake Erie, in Central and Southern Illinois, in Louisiana, in Texas, on Mattamuskeet Lake, N. C. in South - Carolina, and on Chesapeake Bay, in the East; and get together and chart a course under the| in Montana, Utah, Washington, and California, ih the West. These numerous local concentrations of ducks and geese might easily give the impression that the birds were generally more abundant than was actually the case. While ducks and geese as a whole are now in somewhat better condition than last year, increased numbers are confined largely to a few species, which for the most part have extensive breeding ranges. Among these the mallard, pintail, black duck, baldpate, Canada goose, and the blue goose, are most in evidence. Ducks with more restricted breeding territories, including the blue-winged teal, lesser scaup, bufflehead, gadwall, shoveller, canvas- back, redhead, and the ruddy duck are in many localities fewer than during the previous season. In other localities they are just about holding their own, and where they do show a slight increase they are still in a state so precarious, that an un- favorable nesting, hatching, or rearing season, or combination of other unfavorable _circumstances, might easily lead to disaster. Possibifities of suth unfavorable conditions are indicated By reports of excessive temperatures and low rainfall during June in the northern part of the Great Plains region of the United States and adjoining southern parts of the Pralrle Provinces of Canada. Col. Lindbergh is listed as “master” of the craft in the clearance papers he obtained for his airplane mapping flight now in progress. Possibly Mrs. Lindberg has a certificate along to entitle her to qualify as a back seat driver. In the good ald days medical students learned of the human anatomy from Gray’s or some other equally good authority. Now they only have to spend the summer at the bathing beaches for that knowledge. Advice to Women. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The First Lady of the Land offers some advice to women. Mrs. Roosevelt consciously may not re- gard herself as an adroit politician, but she seems to possess the keen sense of political 'adroitness which has marked her distinguished husband. Per- haps he “caught” something of his genius in this respect from the wife of his bosom. Be that as it may, in advising women to equip themselves mentally, in order to participate in the activities of the national life and to become gen- erally informed respecting all the important prob- lems and issues of an unprecedented time, Mrs. Roosevelt suggests that while there may be no royal road to learning, the “daily paper is the rapid road to information.” And, she says, “the American woman should be on her toes to know what is happening today.” A good way to be top hole, she says, “is the daily reading of the daily paper;” and she tickles the hard-working editors of the land to a chivalrous pink by saying, “never miss the editorials. Too many women never look at an editorial.” Hark well, all you ladies remiss in this respect. One can imagine the average knight of paste pot and shears, of industry and intellectuality, who spends his life instructing nations and humans in their duties and conduct, pulling down his vest and preening himself in gratified appreciation of the {fact that at least one important female of the species has seen the light, knows her onions, and has the courage to tell her sisters throughout the nation what is what. | He would be & poor and unnatural editor who did not acknowledge a compliment so adroit, so delicate and who would not experience a friendlier feeling for the husband of a wife at once so wise and so discerning. B Anthony Hope. (New York Herald-Tribune.) By a merry joke of the calendar, the '80s of the last century were anything but the dying years of a century gone gray. They were youthful, they were romantic, they were a beginning, and it was highly appropriate that a young London barrister should in 1894 sit down to pen a classic tale of faraway romance. Therc was the additional fact about “The Prisoner of Zenda” that, dealing in remote and imaginary figures and settings, it none the less hitched its romance to an everyday young Englishman who stumbled into Ruritania as might any one else. Here was escape, indeed. Any reader could put himself in Rudolf Rassendyll's place and share his adventures—thanks, in no small part, to the delightful realism with which the witty Mr. Hawkins told his tale. A skillful, a perfect book, if there ever was one, deserving all the popularity and praise which have befallen it. M These were no lean years in literature. A de- cade which saw Stevenson, Kipling and Hardy work- ing their hardest needs no apologies. If it was not consciously a great period in history, great.events were unmistakably brewing. The Kaiser was ‘in- sisting upon a great navy; this country was passing through the excitements of adolescence into world affalrs. Romantic seems clearly the word and as clearly Anthony Hope Hawkins deserves to rank as its prophet. If the World War is to be regarded as the product of these yeasty years, they have much to answer for. In “The Prisoner of Zenda,” however, they felt a legacy .which weighs heavily on the other side. If wars must be, there cannot be too many such roads of escape, winding happily amid green forests to the enchanted castles of perfect lovers—perhaps the only true reality, after all. When Is Tomorrow? (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) Today here is tomorrow in Tokyo, and today there is yesterday here! Not even a clock can make it tomorrow, for a clock here is 17 hours slower than a clock in Tokyo—it hasn‘t quite caught up to today! Nor can the setting sun make it yesterday, or the rising sun today. The same sun shines on Tokyo, and today here is tomorrow there. The setting sun and ticking clock are only convenient divisions of time. Some one is always just seeing the sun rise, while for some one else it is setting. Not even sleep can make it tomorrow, for in the Far North, where the sun doesn't set for days, or shine for many winter months, time is eternal and is one long day, unmarked by ticking clocks, or in meeting and greeting the sun. Today is today! Clocks tick on and on. Sleep, dream, awake, it is still today. Tomorrow never comes, but who cares? Today is today. That is all that matters! The act of the bridegroom endowing the bride with all his worldly goods nine times out of ten is more humorous than generous. — (Ohip State Journal.)

THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, JULY. 26, 1933. - Today and Tomorrow By WALTER LIPPMANN Post-Impressions During the voyage home I have been trying to sort out and ar- range the many different views and impressions which ‘I gathered in Europe. A great conference is T met were in a mood which might be described as one of anxious fas- 'cination, not unlike that in which they might watch some one cross- ing a chasm on a tight rope. On not unlike a first night on Broad- the whole, they seemed to agree way; not infrequently the audience that the chasm had to be crossed is more interesting that the plgy,‘and that our tight rope was the and what is sald in the lobbies is more to the point than what is said on the stage. Certainly that was true in London. It was ob- vious from the start that the auth- ors had provided a plot that not even 'they found very interesting, | and as for the actors, it was only too painfully evident that they had never had a full-dress rehearsal. only way there was to cross it | quickly. They . desperately Thope we shall cross, not because .they ‘are excessively benevolent but be- cause they do not wish to feel the effects of a bad accident. . s s i Because of, their intense preoccu- pation with, our experiment they are mnot really any more ready . Yet there were collected in Lon- than we are to discuss questions don a wvery large number of emi-/whigh cannotibe settléd intelligent- |. nent men, and in the long inter-|ly until the .fesult is known. That vals while they waited for the com: iswhy the' conference was stalled mittee on committees to choose the from the day it assembled. In the sub-committee to which the lat- mean time they are intensely in- est proposal to form a committee was to be referred, there was a large amount of honest and pene- trating discussion of the real ques- tions which troubled mankind. It is in this exchange of ideas, though they have produced no immediate practical result, that there is a certain compensation for the time and energy and money spent on bringing the conference together. e From listening to conversations lhere and there my most definite which responsible men from all quarters of the globe are watch- ing the course of events in the United States. Their interest is comparable only with that which for years has centered on the Rus- sian experiment. Yet it is of a dif- ferent sort. What has been hap- pening in Russia has touched the greater part of the world through its mind and its emotions. The ‘American experiment touches it immediately and vitally in its or- dinary affairs. This direct im- pact of American events, due to can economic system, has made these events the central fact in contemporary history. Rightly or destinies are bound up with our success or failure. ©One can find in all countries men who are enthuslastic for the Roosevelt policies, and also, of course, men who are absolutely certail that they must fail. But by far the largest number of men impression is of the intensity with | |terested in the quality of the men who are advising the President and executing his policies. Some few philosophers here and there pro- tested that this interest in men and specific measures was a mis- understanding of what was hap- pening; their view is that thus far| the President has not really .used any of his gigantic powers, that he is not inflating, that he is not |managing the currency, that he is not running a planned economy, Ibut that all he has done is to kick |the natural forces of capitalistic recuperation “and speculation off |dead center by making people feel |differently. But apart from these amiable cynics, 'one finds general- ly, T think, a profound conviction |that we are committed to a pro- |gram which requires administrative |genius to make it successful. And so every one who is supposed to know what is going on in Washing-~ | ton 18 eagerly cross-examined about {the Cabinet and the brain trust |and the administrators and co-or- dinators. e e Since there is no way of demon- the immense weight of the A‘mm"‘suaung what the outcome will be, Thomas R. Lyons. |these discussions are necessarily !inoonclusive. Generally they end with the '‘American wishing he were wrongly men feel that their own|y.u home in the thick of it, for |tains national park, soon can be jwin, lose or draw, he would not for the world miss so great an ad- | venture, while the European, who 'has read a lot about human en- thusiasms, shakes. his head and |says that he supposes there is noth- |ing for him to do but to wait and lsee.
