ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. WELCOMES JUDGE ALEXANDER. JUN To Judge George F. Alexander, who has just come here from Portland, Ore., his home for many years, to assume his duties as Judge of the United States District Court for this Division, a cordial welcome for the community. He will find, as others have on coming here to make their home, that we are a friendly people, kindly, and, al- though Juneau and other Southeast Alaska com- munities had endorsed another for the position to which he has been appointed by President Roosevelt, his preferment over the local candidate does not and will not lessen the warmth of our greeting to him. Judge Alexander comes to Alaska to the Federal bench with a fine record as an attorney in Port- land, with the reputation for uprightness as a man as well as a lawyer. He served the Government during the last term of President Wilson as United States Marshal for Oregon and in that capacity made an enviable record. That he will be equally successful in this new position is a foregone con- clusion. “COMING STORM OVER ALASKA.” Under that title, Trumbell White, labeled as a “veteran of previous Alaskan investigatigations,” is author of a lengthy article in the current New Outlook. Outside of the title there is not a great deal to commend it to Alaskans, and if there are Americans ‘elsewhere who are interested in the rein- deer industry of Alaska, the “Lomen interests,” and the Eskimo, and their inter-relationships they will find little in the miscellany of fact and fancy that the author has dished up in the manner so popular in the good old muckraking days when the “malefactors of great wealth” were lootiig Alaska. Reduced to few words, Mr. White seems to be on a “blood scent” with the Lomen reindeer busi- ness slated for the role of victim. He has evidently had his attention directed to the current chapter of the per- ennial “invesigation” of the reindeer industry now being written on Seward Peninsula. Delving into the records of former hearings on the same subject, we extend | Sunday by the | point to a single benefit accruing to the Territory, {but all of us know' of untold harm that has re- sulted. Within recent years, the reindeer industry has | been: investfgated up and down and crosswise. Sec- retary Wilbur had investigators from the Interior Department in the field for months studying con- ditions, checking transactions between the Lomens and Eskimos, discussing range and leasing problems with the Eskimos, and generally endeavoring to get an accurate picture of the situation. The Spec- | remaining controversial questions and that there will | be no occasion for another series of muckraking publicity articles by Mr. White or anyone else. | JUST FIVE ELIGIBLE. When the large number of trans-Atlantic flights are recalled, it would seem that many flyers would be eligible for membership in the “North Atlantic Flight Club,” plans for which were drafted recently in New York by Capt. James Mollison and Mrs. Amelia Earhart Putnam, who are charter members. Membership is limited to persons who have made the North Atlantic hop alone. It happens that the club will be one of the world’s most exclusive. Only five persons are eligible. Capt. Mollison and Mrs. Putnam formed the club and have asked Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, Wiley Post and Jimmy Mattern to join them. Although small, it is indeed a notable personnel who are right to associate themselves together in memory of a feat common to each of them but still so rare as to be un- | common. Our idea of wasted effort is to be forced to listen to a debate between Dr. Clarence True Wilson and a Wet orator on whether Washington State will vote for or against repeal of the Eigh- teenth Amendment. The March of the Screen. (Manchester, Eng., Guardian.) There are, according to a census lately taken by the Department of Commerce at Washington, over 60,000 picture theatres in the world. The figure is a considerable proof of the extent to which the screen has captured the interest of mankind; and various nations is not less striking. We are apt to think that the United States, the first country to exploit cinema fully, is still the largest user of it. But that eminence has in point of fact passed to Russia. The Soviet Government maintains or per- | mits no fewer than 27,000 picture theatres, travelling or stationary, as against the 25,000 of the United States. When it is remembered that the bulk of Russia’s cinema is used for propaganda purposes the fact that she utilizes nearly a third of the apparatus at present in action throughout the world is signifi- cant. With the maximum use of the movies the report contrasts the figures for Asia and Africa. The former continent has some 3,000 picture houses, the latter not 700. Three-quarters of the Asian screen, moreover, is still silent, and of the African half. The fact is a vivid reminder of the great and as yet unsolved difficulty of the cinema industry. The impact of sound on the screen, hailed as so wonderful a boon that plant was scrapped whole- sale, acting personnel thrown into confusion, and fresh picture palaces built regardless of expense, has in fact proved a brake on further quick progress. The silent fim was an entertainment that drew he has cooked up a mess of somewhat unrelated remote peoples with no other bond to a common statements and inconclusive assertions which start enjoyment. The impact of talk has been as dis- with tourists mailing post cards from Nome at the|ruptive of this as was the building of the Tower turn of the century and ends with reindeer worth something more than as steeds for Santa Claus. In between, he has done his best with a rather weak case to excite suspicion as to the probity of the purposes and deeds of the Lomens and their associates, and to produce the impression that they are about to swallow the deer herds of Seward Peninsula and their owners as well. All Alaskans will unite in the hope that Mr. White is wrong in his forecast of a “coming storm over Alaska.” Everytime one of them has come along, Alaska has been the principal sufferer. It has got to the point when another one is heralded, Alaskans head for the nearest cyclone cellar and keep out of sight until the debris subsides.

Only dohmnmx’s will call this inconsistent; only the intellectually naive will Amagme that any one at any time in any] pl has ever been able to out-/ line a comprehensive and final program of action. Certainly the President has never fallen into that delusion, and not the least €ngaging and reassuring qualities of his leadership has becn the frankness with which he has dis- claimed dogmatic finality, . . . Thus, during the spring, the chief emphasis was put upon the importance of bringing about a rise in commodity prices. It was seen that only by a rise in the prices of raw materials could the primary producers be saved from ruin and restored as purchasers of finished goods. Between Feb- ruary and June the average whole- sale price of farm commodities was increased about 30 per cent. And in this average there were actual increases of much more than 30 per cent in the grains and in cotton. There has, in conse- quence been a revolution for the better in ~ American agriculture. Now the question arises as to whether the time has not come when the general slogan of “a rise in prices” does not need to be corrected by emphasis upon “the disparity of prices? For example, using the year 1926 as a base, farm products in TFebruary were 409 per cent of the 1926 average. By June they were 53.2 per cent of the 1926 average. On the oth- er hand building materials in | February were already 698 per cent of 1926 and metals and metal products were 774 per cent. By June building materials had risen 7 per cent, and the metals 25 per cent. Now it must be clear that the gain to the farmer of 30 per cent is not really 30 per cent if the things he has.to buy also rise in price. It is only as you closé the gap between what he re- ceives and what he buys that you Copyrignt, 1933, New York Tribune Inc. Today and Tomorrow By WALTER LIPPMANN .. The Importance of Disparity are really laying a basis for “re- covery.” Therzfore, as manufac- tured goods rise you have to raise farm prices by that much more jto obtain any real result. | . The same holds in regard to the efforts being made to raise | industrial and commercial wages. | The increase of the dollars in the | pay enevlope is a real gain in | purchasing power only in so far as the cost of living lags behind the increase. % If this principle is not clearly recognizzd, there is a distinct pos- sibility that the whole program will become a mere multiplication of dollar prices without actual remedy of the disharmony of pric- es. If, for example, you raise the price of raw materials, then raise the price of manufactured goods in proportion, raise wages to off- set the price increase, raise prices ..

But T do say that it can very easily happen, and there are not a few signs that it has begun to happen. That is why it is so vitally im- portant that the N. R. A. should show as great an interest in re- straining the increase of some prices as it does in raising wagses or farm prices. If it fails to do that, it is likely to produce a senseless inflation. Thus, for ex- emple, it is just as important to be considered about the artific- ially high price of steel as it is to be concerned about the un- reasonably low price of textile la- bor. The disparity of prices is the thing to be concerned about now. In a well conceived campaign of recovery it is necessary to be just as resolute about preventing some kinds of prices from rising, and perhaps even about lowering some prices, as it is about raising oth- er kinds of prices. Therefore, it would be most reassuring if the N. R. A, say in dealing with the Steel Code, which governs a truly basic industry, would demonstrate its understanding of this aspect of the general problem. —SPORT SLANTS By ALAN GOULD ‘Whether or not the New York Giants turn out to be the 1933 Team of Destiny the fact is now generally recognized by National Leaguers that they probably would be the best bet of any of the contending clubs against the Amer- ican League’s world series entry, either the Yanks or Senators. ‘The basis for this is the Giant pitching staff, which has been sufficiently great this year to keep the club around or at the top with the aid of a good defense and despite a strictly limited of- fense. Of course, there is also the spirit and opportunism of the Giants to bé considered, the sort of hustling, cocky play that shot the Boston Braves to the top in 1914, the Cardinals of 1926 and 1931 to the world’s championship. In Carl Hubbell, the Giants have the most talented southpaw in either league this year. They have a cagey right-hander in Fred Pitzsimmons, a really great young right-hander in Hal Schu- macher, and a fast-ball fellow named Roy Parmelee’ who is apt to throw bird-shot at any bats- man, even including Babe Ruth and Gehrig, on one of his good afternoons. For re-inforcements there are Adolfo Luque, the rejuv- enated Cubanola curver, Herman Bell, a right-hander of assorted experience, and William Watson Clark, the portsider who has long been one of the best in the older circuit. NO 1924 ECHO The current Giants bear no re- semblance to the last champion- ship team that lost the worlg ser- | | ies to Washington in 1924, but| that's no handicap to them. Their manager, Bill Terry, play- ed five games in that series as a substitute for Long George Kel- ly at first base and distinguished | himself by collecting six hits in| 14 times at bat for an average of | 429. Travis Jackson was in his first | year as the regular Giant short- stop in 1924, but he is on the bench now while John C. (Blondy) Ryan furnishes the spark for the team’s defense. It is no exag- geration to say Ryan has beer lone of the most conspicuous fac- tors in the rise of the Giants. BREAKS? THEY MAKE ’EM The “Terriers” are making their own breaks by the pressure they keep applying to the other fellow. They talk and act more like a| college football team than a pro- fessional 'baseball team. If these Giants were worried about themselves or where they were going, they would not take the chances they do. They come up with sprained ankles, charley- | horses, spike wounds and bumps from the blows of battle, but they don’t seem to care about that, sc| long as they keep wining. ‘Their manager had a broken wrist, their star young shortstop, Blondy Ryan, was gashed badly in one leg, and their crack third sacker, Vergez, was hit in the head by one of Owen Carrol's fast balls, but you will find their names in today's box-stores and tomorrow’s.
