ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. ATTITUDE ALL THAT CAN BE ASKED. BUREAU’S The declaration of L. G. Wingard, Alaska Agent of the Bureau of Fisheries, that he will consider “with an open mind” the matter of requests for extensions of the pink salmon fishing season in the several Southeast Alaska districts, is all that can be asked by anyone—fisherman or canneryman. Cer- tainly neither of them should desire to extend th2 season if the runs are small. To gain a present advantage, alluring as it might be, at the cost of future runs could mean not one but several years of sharply curtailed takes and packs, seriously af- fecting the fishermen and making canning opera- tions unprofitable. Commissioner Bell, whom Mr. Wingard represents here, has demonstrated repeatedly since he has been at the head of the Bureau of Fisheries in the past few months, that he s fair-minded. He not only has proclaimed his desire to take into consideration the human element in administering the Alaska fisheries, he has demonstrated that he is in earnest about it. The two extensions given to western Icy Strait and one to eastern Icy Strait are the latest evidences of that. In both instances, the seine fishermen will be among the largest beneficiaries. ‘They are selling their catches with- out difficulty and getting higher prices than were obtainable at any time during the past two years. The packers, t0o, will benefit materially. To date the plants drawing from the Icy Strait district for most of their raw fish are well under their expected packs. This, it is generally agreed, is due to the lateness of the principal runs. Fish in abundance have been offshore for many days, and the vanguard is just passing through Cross Sound and Icy Strait, and entering the lower end of Chatham Strait and Frederick Sound. The peak of the run is not ex- pected to reach the eastern end of Icy Strait for some four or five days. Under such conditions, the Bureau of Fisheries was entirely justified in the extensions granted. It is reassuring t@ know that Mr Wingard will remain in the field almost constantly for the re- mainder of the season, and, if conditions justify, will approve of added time for the other districts. from fishing. For the first time in three years they have a real opportunity to earn enough to see {them through the winter months. That will reduce |the cost to the Government, both Federal and Territorial, of relief expenditures. For the packers, it means a ray of sunshine—the first since 1930 for them. By all means, if it does not endanger the future supply of fish, they should have exten- sions in all districts A Chicago judge is reported to have fined him- |self for a traffic law violation. As we recall i, Judge Crater of New York sentenced himself to banishment several years ago and carried it out so effectively he hasn’t been heard from since. A British statesmen opines that the nations of the world are keeping too much to themselves. That seems to just fit in with Uncle Sam’s views about the unpaid war debts. It seems to be getting so that holding an clec- tion in Kentucky is about as dangerous to life as it used to be in Mexico. With steadily increasing revenue pouring into city, county, State and Federal treasuries from the tax on beer, it seems that the country must be living on the vat of the land. Leather neckties are becoming a popular fad. Oh, well!l Anything's all right as long as they don't make 'em out of rope. A Free Gold Market. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Current proposals for establishment of a free gold market at New York City have much to recom- mend them. The plan usually advanced is to create and by law provide for a market in which gold producers may sell their new output at any price they can get, and in which sales can be made abroad, and in which the Government can buy or sell gold at market rates. The establishment of such a market would not need to interfere with the present policy of withholding gold coin and gold certificates from circulation. The principal advantages of such a free gold market are three. In the first place, it would enable gold mining companies to sell their output, as a commodity, at fair prices. Under current restrictions they can sell only to the American Government, and get only one price—$20.67 a fine ounce. In effect, this serves to handicap the gold-mining industry with reference to all other industries, since its selting price is maintained artificially by law, and yet it costs are mounting steadily. Already Canada and South Africa have taken steps to permit sale of newly mined gold at market rates. A second, and more important, consideration is that a free gold market would provide to business and banking a measure of the fluctuations in the value of the dollar and thereby a measure of gold prices, in contrast with dollar prices. To have such data continously would be to throw considerable light on just what is happening in our monetary and economic systems. The third, and probably the greatest advantage in the long run, is the possibility of the Govern- ment's entering the free gold market in transactions for its own account to stabilize and regulate the value of the dollar in terms of gold. Presumably we may look forward to an indefinitely long period of the gold standard in its traditional form. We are to have a managed currency in fact, if not in name. One of the most effictive methods of con- trolling the value of that managed currency would be through purchase and sale of gold in this open market, much as the volume of bank credit is regu- lated (none too effectively thus far) by open-market purchases of Government bonds. “Pretty Boy” Fioyd's beauty would be greatly ehanced by an application of beauty clay about five feet thick.—(Ohio State Journal.) “Who dealt them cards?” dolefully quote the drys as they inspect the hands they received in the New Deal—(Louisville Courier-Journal.) Every day added to the fishing period means added earnings for hundreds of fishermen, most of whom are bona fide Alaskans, native Indians, depending almost solely for a livelilhood upon their earnings These are tough times even for the wolf at the door.

The factories look business-like, he says, but nothing else does. The financial arrange- ments Mr. Durant found atrocious, and militarism in Russia appeared to him quite beyond militarism he has seen anywhere telse. He re- ports injustice rampant, and tells of a populace groaning under a load of propaganda that it is be- ginning to refuse to assimilate. And one of the biggest objec- tions of all (as stated in “The Tragedy of Russia,” the youngest Durant book) is the fact that poli- tics is as bad there as in New ways worse. * “The revolution was made by dreamers, and inherited by poli- ticians,” he writes. Stalin he finds a political trickster, ruling with the old whip of patronage, and the Stalin “machine” exercises, he feels, “all the subtlety and trick- [ery, all the knavery and chican- ery of the worst American politi- cal machines.” NEW NOVELIST A considerable fanfare has pre- i ceded “Livingstones” into what is (left of the book market. “Livingstones” is a first novel by a young English interior decorator, | acclaimed with the facile, almost inevitable, cheers such books re- ceive in England.
