ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. PUBLIC WORKS ADMINISTRATION CRITICISED. While it may be more or less true that Alfred E. Smith is permitting resentment against President Roosevelt’s Administration to cloud his judgment in condemning the Public Works Administration as a “crazy, topheavy structure, choked with bureaucracy,” there will be a not inconsiderable number of people who will side with the outspoken New Yorker who has been the one outspoken critic of the Admin- istration since it went into office. Mr. Smith has not minced words in voicing his objections to several of the major policies of President Roosevelt. And no one would deny him the right to his opinion and to express it. Healthy criticism is the surest means of bringing about efficiency in administration; it serves to keep those criticised on their jobs, alert and alive. In Alaska, we have not found the Public Works Administration a failure. It has been as successful as even it sponsors could desire. Here the funds | allotted to projects have been expended by the| Alaska Road Commission, largely, if not entirely. After some initial delay in making the allotments, and that was not serious, the funds were made immediately available and put to work at once. Hundreds of men were employed and kept at work | as long as weather conditions permitted. Some of | them are still working. There was no red tape about the expenditures and none about getting the | money in the hands of those who needed it » Jindoubtedly there has heen ygeripus delay in accomplishing that objective in a large section of the country. This was not caused by red tape on the part of the Administration authorities. Not once | but many times, Secretary Ickes, Public Works Administrator, called attention to the delay and| its causes. He warned States of the evils that would | follow and said plainly that the fault would be; theirs and not his; that he didn't intend to be made “the goat” for their failure to put to work the| money the Federal Government was providing. | It is easy enough to criticise. Al' Smith is an expert at it. But he would serve the public more | wisely if he turned his batteries on those who have been holding back, State organizations, Federal | bureaus not under the control and direction of the Public Works Administration rather than con- demn the latter as useless STRIKING CONTRASTS. In replying to former President Hoover's criticism because he did not send troops to San Jose to protect the kidnapers of Brooke Hart from the mob that lynched them, Gov. James Rolph, Jr., of Cali- fornia, touched the sorest spot in the Hoover | Administration—the expulsion by force of arms ofI the first Of course, in Washington and Gov. California are not in the same category. The Gov- ernor's retort was beside the point and constitutes no- defense, if one is needed.

The Nation did not approve of President Hoover's method of handling the “bonus marchers.” Its re- entment._over .that . tragie-episodc; T A0 ause in the disaster that overtook the President - |and his party in 1932, was undoubtedly a contribut- ing factor. The contrast furnished by President Roosvelt’s treatment of the second Bonus Expedi- tion, which was comfortably housed and fed at Government expense and its members given jobs, was typical of the difference of the human touch of the two men. President Hoover was badly advised and, without that element in man’s makeup that | President Roosevelt excels, made one of the saddest mistakes of his official career. It is President Roose- velt's acute realization of human needs, human aims and aspirations that have set him so high in the| hearts of the people of this country. They feel he| is one of them, that he knows their sufferings, visualizes their problems and is doing everything in his power to end the one and solve the other. The annual report of the United States Smelting Company, which is the parent organization of the Fairbanks Exploration Company and Hammon Gold Fields Consolidated which are operating in the Fairbanks and Nome distri shows of late earn- ings that average about $1,000,000 monthly. All of these earnings, it should be noted, do not come from the company’s Alaska properties. It has a number of mines elsewhere and its silver mines are just now beginning to have importance. However, its opera- tions in the Territory are a material factor in the company's enviable showing. Its production of gold here is reported to be, t present R. F.

Another good thing about the President’s Civil Works program, it comes along just in time to relieve unemployment among the bootlegging frater- nity that will be thrown out of jobs tomorrow. Temperance Education. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The call by the Rockefellers for the founding of a new temperance society ‘“divorced from old groups and methods that have outlived their use- is a matter to engage public attention. It brings forward one of the prime reasons for voting for repeal, as Ohio will have the opportunity to do on November 7. Putting Prohibition in the Constitution was worse than bad democracy—it was bad psychology. It stopped the very movement which put it there. Logically, temperance education should have con- Actually it ceased. Indeed, it had ceased when the Anti- Saloon League undertook to put Prohibition in State and Federal Comstitutions and to let mere man go (his own way and get liquor anywhere else than in a legal place and anyhow else than legally. This done, the battle for temperate living and sobriety, which began a century ago in the United fell by the wayside, deserted even by its erstwhile fervent workers, who mistook Prohibition for enforced total abstinence and blindly regarded drinking as a thing of the past. Fifteen years have converted earnest men like the Rockefellers, former supporters of the Anti- Saloon League and Prohibition. It is to be expected that there may be a first flurry of excited folly over repeal. But there will be a pronounced re- action, just as there was after the legalization of beer. A vast majority of those in favor of repeal |are opposed to racketeering and its evils, of which excessive drinking of spirits is not the least. Ohioans should realize that ballots cast against Prohibition in the State and Federal Constitutions are the be- |ginning of temperance education. With the Federal detectives as efficient as they have been lately, a kidnaper is worse than a crim- inal; he's a sucker.—(Boston Globe.)

As for the alarmist, the; ( despairing, the melodramatic | the suicidal mood, that should bf- !rezerved for those affairs which (do not involve the security of (great bodies of men. And, there- fore, it does not seem to me that a riproaring fight about currency { will help us. So having pointed out yester- day what I believe to be the greatest defect in the execution of the gold policy—that it has been launched without adequate recog- nition of the skeptics and critics —I should like to point out a few things, which is seems to me, the opposition is inclined to over- look. $ el ‘The opposition is leading the ‘country to believe that changing the price of gold or changing the gold content of the dollar, that is to say, depreciating the currency in terms of gold, is a fantastical- ly nevel experience. It really is not. two countries in the whole world}| which have not raised the price of gold since the war. Those cmm-( tries are Switzerland and the( Netherlands. The latest figures which I happen to have are for November 6. On that day the prioe | of gold in the United States had risen 56 per cent. In Canada it had risen 57 per cent; in Eng- land 55 per cent; in South Africa 54 per cent; in the Argentine 67 per cent; in Sweden 66 per cemt; in Norway 70 per cent; in Austra- lia 94 per cent; in New Zealand 90 per cent; in Denmark 91 per cent; in Japan 165 per cent. In France, Belgium, Italy, the coun- tries of the socalled gold bloc, the price of gold is, of course, sev- eral hundred per cent above pre- war. I am, therefore, unable to be- lieve that raising the price af gold in America to a price mnot unlike that which prevails in most other countries is inherently dam- nable and absurd. It may be that there is no advantage in raising the price of gold, in lowering the gold content of the currency but all other nations, except two very small ones, have done it. T am not| aware of any agitation in any of these countries to reduce the pric2 of gold and return to the pre-war gold value of the currency. LS e A The opposition is calling upon | the President not to inflate the! currency and to return to the gold standard. Now, I do not pretend to have a thorough understanding of the Warren theory, but T under- | stand it enough to know that it is in no sense of the term a the= | ory of paper or fiat or greenback inflation, and also that it is based wholly on a determination to re- turn to a dollar convertible into| gold. Every calculation in the Warren doctrine assumes a gold currency; in fact, Professor War-| ren can more justly be charged with minimizing the effect of de- posit currency than with failure to regulate the importance of gold. | Indeed, I believe it to be accu- rate to say that the only point| on which Professor Warren dif- fers from those who wish to stab- ilize immediately on gold is this: those who want immediate stabil- ization do not seem to care wheth- er the price of gold is 25 an Ounu,(., or $33; they want stabilization| at any price. Professor Warren,! in the other hand, believes that| the price is very miportant and, presumably, that the right price | lies somewhere between $36 and| $40. His calculations seem to have | persuaded him that in relation [o! our debts, wages, and other fixed charges, we need a currency ra-| ther nearer the present value of the Australian, Danish and New Zealand currencies than the pres- ] | | | ent value of the English pound.| z 4 : There are just!P Tomorrow <= By WALTER LIPPMANN ceeeoe ey L Denunciation and Education Copyright, 1933, New York Tribune Inc. covery calls for such an sion ln to endanger our type of economic capital and political system, or profits from individual can function.” | the Cornell economists have very little sympathy for, gnd are in fact profoundly critical of mos of the N.
