ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER | THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION | | MORE SPEED IS VITAL. Secretary Ickes is right to be insistent that States, counties and communities to which public funds have beeri allotted for building hasten work on them. He is right when he warns that failure to do so will result in withholding of additional funds to those guilty of delay. There is no ques- tion that the building program is lagging badly. There was, at the outset, some delay in the allot- ment of funds by the Public Works Administration. This war largely due to Secretary Ickes's determina- tion that there should be no opportunity for graft and no display of political favoritism. However, that delay is past weeks ago. The machinery in the Public Works Administration is working smoothly. In the great public interest aroused by NRA activities, the public at large, and possibly officials in charge of expenditures of building funds, have lost sight of the vital part that the public works | relief program must play in the general recovery program. Public works expenditures were selected as the priming for the recovery pump. It must be that if the pump is to work. The great Federal fund, $3,300,000,000, has to be put to work now—| not next year—if NRA codes are kept from becom- ing intolerable burdens upon industries. That is the reason for Secretary Ickes’s demand for action, and yet more action. In the very nature of its undertaking NRA can- not achieve results overnight. In some of the major industries NRA codes can do more harm than good. There is a limit to which depressed industries and trade can go in raising wages, shortening hours of labor and employing additional men unless their volume of business is increased from some outside source. And the public building program is the only big source in sight. Later, but that will take more time than can be allowed right now, the effect of general re-employment, of increased earn- ings of the agricultural industry, in the aggregate purchasing power of the Nation will carry them along. The country, however, faces its critical period now. The billions of dollars that have been set up for public works have to bridge this over. ‘They have to provide jobs directly for hundreds of thousands on the projects themselves, and indirectly to other hundreds of thousands in the production of raw and finished materials and supplies, in the manufacture of equipment, in transportation and other services. Throughout the country there is a lagging in getting work started. We, in Alaska, have some slight knowledge of this condition. The Alaska Road Commission, which is directing the expenditure of the major portion of the emergency funds allotted for use in the Territory, has shown a commendable speed in get- ting men into the field. It has launched work on' every project to which funds were alloted and has put hundreds of idle to work. Gov. Troy has obtained funds for other projects and within a few days after they were available men were doing work on them and drawing wages for it. That is the sort of action that is demanded everywhere. The progress that the United States Forest Service, which has handled the E. C. W. sit- uation so admirably and with such excellent results, and United States Bureau of Public Roads have made with the $350,000 emergency funds for road building in Alaska has not been so impressive. Although this allotment was announced some weeks ago, not one man has been put on. In fact, not a single project has been started, nor have any been advertised for bids. We are aware that local officials of these bureaus have done what they can to get things started. ‘They have submitted detailed programs, specifications for the projects to which the mone; has been alloted. More than that they cannot well do. They have to have approval of these things from San Francisco and Washington before they can go ahead and put out bids, let contracts and get men to work. If this sort of thing is being repeated on a large scale outside of Alaska, it is time that Secretary ickes, as Public Works Administrator, locate the responsibility and take whatever steps that are necessary to eliminate the causes of delay. In a recent appeal to those having charge of expenditures on the public works program, Mr. Ickes said: What I am urging now is action all the way down the line to translate this vast money force into wages and purchasing power. No matter how rapidly the Admin- istration and the Board of Public Works allot the money it does not serve its full purpose until it reaches the pockets of the workers. To this end I earnestly request all officials as well as others associated with us in this great effort to push forward at an even faster pace. Evidently this didn't have the desired effect for _last week he admonished them in even stronger ?30 delay and declared he didn't intend to be made _the goat. His aggressiveness ought to be applauded the public, and his position supported. Surely, the experiences of the past three hard winters, 4 it shouldn't be necessary for communities to go again on the dole system with billions of dollars of public funds available for work for those that need it desperately. AIRPLANE EXPLORATIONS. Alaska, like Northwest Canada, is more and more using airplanes in searching for new mineral resources. Knowledge of Canada's Northwest Ter- ritories has been greatly enhanced by the airplane. There, as here, it has greatly simplified the trans- portation problems of prospectors. In the present decade, for instance, veins of pitchblends, from which radium is extracted, and of silver ore have been located—so promising that 2,200 claims were staked within a year or two near Great Bear Lake. Oil has been discovered to the west of the lake, and on oil refinery established. Depostts of copper in the Coppermine River district and of lead and zinc near Great Slave Lake, and of nickel at Tankin Inlet have also been found. Prospectors in the Juneau district have, during the past three years, made extensive use of planes for transporting them into regions untapped by roads and trails. Some promising discoveries have been made on which exploratory work is now in progress. As a number of them are primarily gold prospects, |it is reasonable to- expect, under present enhanced market prices, that capital will not be hard to find to develop any bodies of ore uncovered. The Tacoma woman who cached $27,000 under her house, and had it stolen, probably picked that place for concealment because -she found it was too bulky to carry around in her first national bank. Trade Commissioner William E. Humphrey has refused to resign from the Federal Trade Com- mission although requested so to do by President Roosevelt. Possibly he thinks this is no time to have to lost a steady job with a fat salary. Public Works Wages. (New York World-Telegram.) A way has been found to increase national pur- chasing power through higher wages on public works and at the same time stop the waste involved in a building trade population constantly moving across the country in search of better wages. Under a resolution passed by the Public Works Administation the wage rates paid to organized labor in any district are to be the legal rates paid on any building project financed under the Recovery Act. Not only will all Federal projects but all State and municipal projects under the Recovery Act pay the prevailing union rate. In districts where there are no trade union agreements a definite minimum hourly rate is fixed, starting at $1 in the South and $1.20 in the North for skilled labor. Every contract awarded by the Federal Govern- ment, States and municipalities will contain the rate to be paid on the job, and in every city or town where a trade union agreement prevails the union rate will be paid if it is higher than the minimum. If the union rate is lower than the minimum the union rate automatically will be stepped up. This system will eliminate the wide differences in pay that-have prevailed in various parts of the United States and equalize the earnings of building trade workers in each of the three zones designated. Hereafter there will be no advantage to the Jonesville carpenter in migrating to Chicago or Pittsburgh or New York City to get higher wages. He is guaranteed under the minimum that he can secure as good a rate in the small town as in the large. Also these rates will encourage workers who are concentrated in the large cities, because of formerly higher wages, to move to smaller towns, where their rates will be equally high. This is an example of intelligent planning. Special credit is due Secretary of Interior Ickes and Chairman Lubin of the Public Works Labor Board. The Flying-Boat’s Progress. (Manchester, Eng., Guardian.) The prospects of a trans-Atlantic air service im- prove steadily if slowly. The latest addition to the great flying-boats of the world is now undergoing its final tests in France. This boat, which has been built by the Bleriot firm to the order of the French Air Ministry for the service to South America, weighs 23 tons, which may be compared with the 46 tons of the German monster the DOX and the 33 tons of the military flying-boat recently built for the R. A. F. Though it is only half its size, the French boat is probably much more sea- worthy than the DOX, which, though it once leisurely crossed the Atlantic and as leisurely re- turned, is not capable of conducting a regular open sea service. The new boat’s cost has been ex- tremely heavy; the French Air Ministry paid £176,- 500 in contract, but the construction is stated to have cost the Bleriot company over £230,000. But even these enormous sums would not be too much for a country to pay if a satisfactory long-distance flying machine could at last be evolved. The Bleriot craft may not be that machine; it is still too small and too slow to be able to face the regular Atlantic storms which such an aircraft must face. But it is a step on the road towards it. It has been designed primarily for South Atlantic mail service. But if it were put on the short Mediterranean “run” between Marseilles and Algiers it is said that it could carry sixty passengers in comfort. Liquor Control. (Boston Globe.) There are thirty States which have in their own laws some degree of Prohibition. Eight of these, however, have arranged to submit such laws to referendum to settle questions of repeal or modifica- tion of State restrictions. The problem of what to do about spirits will be of great importance in the remaining eighteen States, most of them contain- ing large urban populations. As no perfect way [of regulation] has yet been discovered anywhere in the world, it would seem wise for Americans to seek to make a new combination of features taken from several systems. But it is most important that there be no unnecessary delay in facing the problem that will be: here before next Christmas. Senator Hooey Long should realze that nearly everybody had to take a cut, even though it is somewhat inconvenient to take one over the left eye.—(Indianapolis Star.) General Johnson's slogan borrowed from a recent advertising motto, seems to be, “Reach for a code instead of a chisel.”—(Boston Globe.) Don't cheer, fellows, Senator Sheppard has the siek headache.—(Macon Telegraph.) America hopes to recover through the wings of an eagle—(Atlanta Constitution.)
