ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. SERVED COUNTRY NOTABLY. Edward N. Hurley, wartime Chairman of the United States Shipping Board, and who had already rendered valuable services to the country as a member of the Federal Trade Commission, as the director of shipbuilding during the war s rved it ever more not It was due to his great ability, his daring and disregard of established formula, that enabled this country to build “The Bridge of Ship to France,” described by him in the book under that title. | In that volume, published in 1927, Mr. Hurley told the inside story of the United States Shipping Board and the Emergency Fleet Corporation, and declared that the ships built in 1918 by the United States turned the tide of victory toward the Allies in the World War. i “Without detracting in the least from that great soldier, General Pershing, and his gallant men in the field,” wrote Mr. Hurley, “I am convinced that the country never has realized to what extent the war was won at home by President Wilson, Secre- tary Baker, General March, the Shipping Board and the Fleet Corporation by taking the most des- perate chances conceivable.” Describing his procedure in supplying ships as extremely reckless if followed in time of peace, he admitted that in obeying President Wilson's admon- tion “Hurley, we must go the limit,” he proceeded to make an estimate for ships which, as a prac- tical manufacturer, he would never dare submit to a board of directors. “If the war had continued another..year,’” he wrote, “we could not have fed and supplied our soldiers in France. That it did not continue for another year was due to the fact that Woodrow Wilson gave orders which at the psychological moment sent over the soldiers who turned the tide in favor of the Allies cause.” In his book Mr. Hurley gave figures showing that it cost $3,000,000 to teach 350,000 men and 130 new managements how to build ships. One of the most difficult tasks he discovered was to find American officers and crews for the ships. During the peace conference Mr. Hurley was called to Paris to attend a meeting of the War Council and was appointed a member of the con- ference committee on international labor legislation. In that capacity he submitted American labor's peace ideas to the committee. He also arranged for the transportation of the American troops home after the war. In 1924 Mr. Hurley was appointed a member of the United States World War Debt Funding Com- mission and took an active part in the negotiations with the commissions of foreign countries for the funding of their obligations. * Mr. Hurley was the first to admit recklessness in his procedure in getting ships. He had as his justi- fication the great need of shipping to transport men and materials to France if German victory were to be prevented. In the disposal of the Govern- ment’s fleet in more recent years, his own procedure was made to appe: tame by the tactics used whereby great liners were sold for mere pittances, in some instances less than the cost of conditioning that was done prior to sale, and, in addition to that, extravagant mail subsidies were granted to the purchasers. His own achievements as a builder and creator of merchant fleets stands all the higher THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, NOV. 17, 1933. to the sorry record at career as an owner the end of the compared of merchant Government's vessels. ANOTHER EDISON? The decision of the Greek Appellate Court re- cently which ruled that Samuel Insull, former Chicago utilities czar, was not subject to extradition by the United States brought out a Greek view of that muchly criticized individual that will strike Americans as original to say, at least, and possibly be regarded by some of them as highly insulting Insull, under indictment for alleged crimes involving | frenzied finance on a scale that made the notorious Ponzi look like a Fulton Street fish-peddler, seems to be regarded in Greece as a public benefactor and| high-minded and honorable gentleman. A majority | of the five justices of the Greek Appellate Court| declared that “as a collaborator of Thomas A‘T of electricity in which he “created a dictatorship| controlling one-third of the electric business ml the United States.” Insull's genius seems to have | ! been largely the gentus of a big-time stock promoter | Alaska Agricultural who madé suckers out of millionaire and wage-| earner alike.

New Alaska Buildings. (Anchorage Times.) Good news was announced yesterday by Asso- ciated Press that Governor Troy has recommended a new Federal building for Anchorage to cost half a million dollars, and another of like cost for Ket- chikan. The Government likely will erect these buildings in the near future in order to help solve the unem- ployment problem in these areas. At the same time it will be rendering a much needed service, espec- ially in Anchorage, where the present buildings are old and far from adequate. The Federal Government also is stepping out now to have many other structures erected in Alaska, particularly in connection with the Indian schools and other services to the natives. Buildings are needed in many places, and assistance is needed by the people. By advancing the funds the Govern- ment renders the dual service of caring for the needy by giving them work and at the same time creating a much valued asset in way of the new structures. Were the money handed out in doles there would be nothing to show for the expenditure. The Federal Government could follow up this policy in respect to a number of other matters in Alaska—including the rail belt area. It would do well in its program for this region to provide ade- quate bunkers at Seward, so that the coal production of the fine fields tributary to Anchorage could be enlarged through facilities for more speedy and less expensive means of handling. Such a service that would expand the coal shipments would enlarge the revenues to the railroad. Without facilities scarcely any port can expect to enlarge its com- merce and trade. Costs of such improvements need not be assessed so that handling charges be ad- vanced. All improvements, especially in this period, are for the development and advance of the Territory as well as to care for the unemployed. It is hoped the Government will continue its Federal building allowances, consistently and pro- gressively in_ Alaska, and especially hasten the plans to give Anchorage the much needed building. The good graces of Gov. Troy in the matter certainly are to be appreciated, as are those of Delegate Dimond and others working for the improvements.

The skeleton evidently belonged to a person living during a so-called “intermediate” cultural stage. As thus far in Alaska is the “Old Ber- ing Sea Culture,” while several in- termediate cultures are by their different styles of decora- tions on weapons and utensils.

Many Dog Skulls Quite important, also, was the finding of several hundreds of dog skulls, inasmuch as they will rep- resent some of the first dogs ever brought to Alaska from Asia, by way of Bering Sea. All the dog material has been forwarded to Dr. O. J. Murie, a scientist fully capable of describing the ancient St. Lawrence Island dogs. Polar bear skulls encountered were forwarded to the eminent pa- laeontologist of the American Mu- seum of Natural History at New York City, Dr. Childs Frick, who has already discovered among the material a possible new specie, NOW extinct.

Give boys best dinner at my expense,” was the wording of a cablegram received by Earle Jameson frcm President B. L. Thane, of the Alaska-Gastineau Mining Company, in response to word sent him as to the foothall resats of Sunday. Members of the victorious team were looking forward to the big dinner which was guaranteed to be a most cn- joyable affair, At the second meeting of the Juneau Democratic Club, held in the Malony Building, a constitution and by-laws were adopted and the election of officers and members of a Board of Control was held. Immediate steps were to be taken, accord'~g to the decision rendered, to get in touch with the parly leaders in other Alaskan commun- ities with the idea of encouraging the organization of similar clubs. A financial report of the City of Juneau published showed that the resources in cash of the city would soon be exhausted. This, city officials declared, was not due to any extravagance of the pras- ent administration, but to its at- tempt to pay off indebtedness left by previous councils. Ketchikan was in hopes of hav- ing a ship railway and ship yards built and in operation in that city within the next two months. A deal to put such a plant at the Alaska Packers' Dock was under consideration. Surveyor General Charles E. Da- vidson and Mrs. Davidson were northbound passengers on the Ad- miral Sampson for Juneau, ac- cording to word received. Mr. Da- vidson had been in the east for some time on official business, while Mrs. Davidson had been vis- iting in California.
