Through the foresight of Lieut. John R. Noyes, who presided over the Gastineau Channel bridge hearing last Wednesday, it was possible to include data in the record that may prove highly valuable in the not distant future. Possibly some of those who attended the meeting did not catch the signi- ficance of the discussion relative to a lift-span bridge and the horizontal clearance necessary , to care for navigation should it be decided later on to change from the present fixed-span project to a drawbridge. The Territory’s application for a permit specifies construction of a fixed-spar with 50 feet ‘per- pendicular clearance and about 380 feet net hori- zontal clearance. The hearing demonstrated beyond dispute that such a bridge is adequate to meet present navigation needs. Hence, no objections were interposed. But as Lieut. Noyes, Mayor Goldstein, President Jones of the Chamber of Commerce and others pointed out, the short vertical clearance would limit industrial development north of the bridge site. Only smaller vessels could possibly pass under a bridge of that type and clearance. It is true that there is no development in im- mediate sight that would be handicapped by the‘ bridge proposed. There may be none in five, or ten | or twenty years. But eventually every foot of deep- water frontage on Gastineau Channel north of Juneau will be required for industrye or trade needs It may be within the life of the first bridge to bv‘ constructed . For that reason, if costs of a lift- <pan| bridge are not excessive, a structure of that type| is to be preferred to a fixed-span. frhe introduction of that subject into the Wednes- day hearing, therefore, was desirable. It didn't signify that those who favored a lift-span were against the project. It merely evidenced their desire to see that the most serviceable type of structure was erected. In the record as it was perfected 1s a complete statement of the maximum horizontal clearance for a lift-span bridge. The record also shows that the fixed-span bridge as proposed Wlll' not interfere with present navigation or that which is in sight. If later, it is found that a lift-span bridge can be constructed at less or even identical cost as the one suggested now, the Territory can " petition the War Department for a change of permit, and the Department can change the permit without the formality of calling for hearing and the delay incident to that procedure. For that reason, the action of Lieut. Noyes in extending the discussion to lift-spans is com- mendable. ROLL CALL OPENS TOMORROW. President Roosevelt, members of his Cabinet, and other leaders in National life—civic, commercial and labor circles—give unqalified endorsement of the American National Red Cross which tomorrow opens its annual Roll Call for memberships. The canvass will close on November 30. President Roosevelt, who is, also, President of the Red Cross, sald: “I can be counted on to foster and aid in every way in my power the great work the Red Cros$ is carrying on." Some of the statements made by other leaders are as follows: Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture: The spirit of the Red Cross is so precious a part of American life that I should want it kept alive even through disaster and dis- tress did not call it forth There will always be need for it, in good times and bad, and I know that the appeal for funds this year will find a quick and generous response. Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor: Our American Red Cross in meeting the human needs arising from flood, earth- quake, fire. tornado, disease and economic distress in the past 12 months, convincingly demonstrated its high efficiency, adaptive- ness and courage. The Red Cross directed an army of many thousands of volunteer works, distributed vast surpluses of Gov- ernmeat wheat and cotton, cared for the emergency relief and rehabilitation of suf- ferers in 120 disasters, cooperated in helping families of the unemployed, combatted the spread of disease and conducted a program of safety education. The Red Cross is a very necessary and democratic institution, without creed or racial distinctions, enjoy- ing the goodwill and confidence of all. I hope that it will be widely and generously supported in its annual membership Roll Call, November 11-30. Harry L: Hopkins, Administrator, Federal Emer- gency Relief: Many times in a year the people need their American Red Cross; once in a year— at Roll Call—the Red Cross needs the peo- ple. The past 12 months have seen the na- tional voluntary relief agency extraordinarily _ active in caring for the needs of disaster victims, in distributing Government wheat and holding another | responsibilities have been courageously and efficiently discharged. General Hugh Johnson, Administrator, National Recovery Administration (NRA): One manifestation of national recovery should be a generous outpouring of popular support for the American Red Cross in its annual membership Roll Call, November 11-30. Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Governor of the Farm Credit Administration: The Red Cross continues to be the agent of the American people in missions of mercy and generosity. | President of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation: I have just finished reading the sum- mary of the work of the Red Cross for the past year. I doubt whether the Red Cros¢ has ever donme better work, and it fills me with comfort and confidence to find that it is increasingly ready to respond to these tragic world needs. The future may be even fuller of them than the past and the need for the services of the Red Cross grows greater rather tnan less from all present prospects. Henry I. Harriman, President, Chamber of Com- “morco of the United States: During the three dark years behind. us the American Red Cross rose to supreme heights of faith, courage and efficiency. It made every precious dollar do the largest amount of good. William Green, of Labor: The Red Cross merits the cordial, gen- erous support of the American people. I suggest to every person with a job or an income, that a dollar contributed to the Red Cross will be put to useful purposes where it will earn large dividends in terms of human welfare and happiness. Joshua L. Johns, President, Kiwanis Interna- tional: Our organization has always done its part in support of the Red Cross Roll Call. This year, I hope, will be no exception, and I feel sure our clubs will do their part in support of this worthy cause, which is per- haps more important today than it has ever been before. Ed. R. Johnson, First Vice-President, Rotary ternational: To have a part in the annual Roll Call of the American Red Cross should be con- sidered a privilege as well as an opportunity to share in the activities of this great organization. The efficiency and dispatch with which the Red Cross functions in times of minor need for assistance, or of great castrophes, should make every American eager to hold membership in it. | President, American Federation In-, from high estate as well as low, comes endorsements | of the Red Cross in recognition of its great work | for humanity.

No emergency that there is not w hand of the Red Cross. Foreign Gold Bid. (Anchorage Times.) The Roosevelt Administration is shaking them all up with its gold program. There seems to be no end of new curves the authorities at Washington can hand out under the new deal. First it was embargo on gold exports, then modi- fication, then arrangements for American producers to sell abroad, and a few days ago arrangements for Uncle Sam to step right up and buy direct from the American gold digger—and yesterday the bold declaration that America will go right into the world markets and bid for gold anywhere it is offered for sale abroad as well as at home. America apparently is after the gold, and the Administration makes no bones about it. Immed- iately following this frank acknowledgment comes the flashes from France and Holland—two big European gold markets—that they take the news uneasily, They scowl at the idea of your Uncle Sam bidding for' the world gold; they fear upset of currencies; or loss of supply that has been flowing into European coffers—or why not. Anyway, they just don‘t like it. France and Holland and other European nations did not hesitate to reach right out and grab all the American gold they could get—and were satisfied to let their countries be the market for gold from this country. Now that Uncle Sam seems about to do just what the Europeans were doing it is all wrong. It's a poor rule that doesn't work both ways. These Europeans who seem to be the first to protest have not been so hot even in letting go the gold they have been holding in their coffers which should have been used to pay their bills to Uncle Sam. The case applies in particular to France. France not only has billions 4n gold but is main- taining a standing army and armaments whose cost is far beyond the overdue and other payments they should be handing over this way. It's a strange kind of people who have gold and won't pay their bills but go on with huge ex- travagances and try to buy more gold. The policy just doesn’t asay with the fair-minded. Anyway, Uncle Sam seems out for gold, and the price is mounting. It was almost $32 yesterday. Stabilized currencies or what, Alaska will be a big gold producer next year—and she is vastly inter- ested in the whole gold game—and will be tnere with a mighty high stack of the gilt edge chips in the big show down.
