DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK AUSPICIOUS. Representatives of the Democratic Party of the First Division of Alaska who meet here tomorrow in their biennial convention never met at a time when the political horizon was more rosy with promise for the future, and when all circumstances seem to conjoin in working for party advancement. It is their plain duty to see to it that no untoward local conditions shall arise to mar the auspicious analysts demand of public officials, and the usual quota of illustrations and appendices. That's all gone from the printed volume now depressed to pamphlet size. Budget Director Douglas has laid heavy hands jon printed reports and Gov. Troy’s suifered along with a lot of others. e Admitting that economy in Government printing is a paramount need, it might quit printing stamped envelopes at a loss and save a lot of money, and admiring Director Douglas for his courage in this matter, we feel that it is regrettable that the Re- port of the Governor of Alaska for 1933 had to be so maltreated. Due to its comprehensiveness, the accuracy of its facts and figures, the correct picture of Territorial activities and conditions it alw | Territory. And although this year’s urge for econ- omy is as compelling as that of 1933, we hope that {Gov.

We are about to enter into another ten months of political abtivity. In this Division we shall be called on to elect one Senator and four Represen- tatives to the Territorial Legislature, and to vote for Delegate to Congress and Territorial Treasurer. Two years ago every Territorial candicate received a handsome majority and every one seeking a . Divisional office was elected easily. This was partly made possible by the great wave of Democratic sentiment that swept the country. But it was also brought about by the perfect unison with which the party’s forces went into action in the Fall campaign.

The profii in this bookkeeping transaction, exceeding | $4,000,000.000, under present laws would go to the Federal Reserve system, which holds most of the Nation's gold stocks. President Roosevelt has proposed to Congress that | this profit be recovered to the Government. This hes raised (he question as to the ethics involved. Many have asked, “Is the Government entitled to this profit?” Inevitably the profit is there. Some- body or some institution is going to have it if the dollar is devalued. If not the Government, as Presi- dent Roosevelt thinks is proper, then the banks in the Federal Reserve system will. The gold was gathered into these banks by the| action of the Federal Government. The value of the dollar is determined by the Government. This geld is the backing of our money, which, final analysis, is the instrument of the Government. + To hand over they have need of. in no way earned and are not Approaching it from an entirely different angle the loss in the transaction while suffered by no one in particular is borne by the people of the United States, whose bonds and currency and fixed income suffer as the dollar is lessened in value and its purchasing power is lowered. for its use in performing sundry services. to be a subsidy to the group receiving it.

That certain reforms must come with this revival is taken largely for granted. Revival must not jcarry with it the seeds of a new collapse.

In so far as we can discover the causes of the last collapse, we must eradicate them But as for the labels that are attached to the acts of recovery—does the ordinary man actually care two hoots about them? It is doubtful. So long as we are moving toward recovery and trying to avoid the mistakes of the past, it makes little difference to him whether our policies are liberal, conservative, a little of both—or neither.

By TOM WILHELM BERLIN, Jan. 23.— Germany's general staff is mobilizing its ath- ic strength for a drive on the Olympic games of 1936, now that the Geriman government, through Chancellor Adolf Hitler, has ap- proved plans for what likely will be the finest athletic plant in the world when completed. No sooner were the chancellor's ideas made known than the well regimented German sports organi- the word down the line to get out all possible talent.

They'll Start This Year According to the present plans, preliminary trials will be held fol- lowing the lines of the ‘‘county meets” in America. These will be followed by sfate meets in which only the smaller division winners will be eligible. In turn these com- petitions will be enlarged to tak® in the major divisions of the na- tion as a preliminary to the nation- al tryouts. A staff of coaches, trainers, die- titians and doctors has been sum- moned to consider the problems facing a German athletic team in the Olympics and plan measures to be carried out in 1934 and 1935. It scientist of the University of London, Cyril Burt, recently wrote: The fact is that the size of the skull varies far more closely with physical char- acteristics—height, weight, age, sex, race, and the like—than it acteristics. A tall has a large skull; tively short and light, have smaller skulls, just as they have The only way to discover whether capacity depends upon intelligence as well as upon physical growth would be to test intelligence first of all by direct and inde- pendent means. The whole question in England with reference to a study of native skulls and brains in Kenya. was that the natives assimilate English education. Professor [ is plannd to put the competitors eligible for the national trials into a summer camp early in 193¢ at Eftlingen, where the team mem- bers will be kept on a rigid train- ing and diet schedule. Ettlingen, ideally situated in Baden, was se- lected after an investigation of other likely locations. All Groups Enlisted Coaches have already assembled there and issued a call for distance and marathon runners to appear in January for preliminary train- ing orders. Up until the middle of the 1934 season tri-monthly trials will be held in every district of the reich. These will be used to get 2 line on an athlete’s general form does with mental char- and heavy man usually women, being compara- smaller hands and feet. skull came into controversy lately The conclusion drawn could not be expected to Perhaps not, but the in the this profit to the Federal Reserve banks would be to give them a gratuity, a profit in inferences from their heads were sharply questioned by men like Dr. Burt and Julian Huxley. The latter distrusts “absolute brain weights.” The only basis for ascertaining the “coefficient of brains” is rela- tive. Professor Burt remarked in words that might well be pondered by members of the most august assembly on earth: “Quality of brain tissue is far more important than mere quantity.” It should not be forgotten that the greater part of the brain has to do more with physical than and minimize the danger of pick- ing a team member on the basis of one unusually “hot” day’s perform- ance. By the end of 1934 the coaches hope to have a fairly good line on prospective timber which will en- able them to direct the best men in each event through light work- outs during the winter and bring with intellectual activities. may have been n the mind of President Wilson when them rapidly into form in the ear- ly 1935 competitions. A distinction like that It seems wholly rea- sor =hle and just that the resulting profit should be taken by the Government, not to pile up a treasury surplus, but to be made available to the people To permit it to go to the Federal Reserve banks, or to dispose of it in any other way would seem in effect Persons who annually look forward to the Report of the Governor of Alaska and obtain copies of it, are going to be disappointed this year. They will he scornfully spoke of certan Senators as having no more brain power than “pygmies” But it is dangerous for the layman to rush in where anthro- pologists fear to tread. When Carlyle said that Cardinal Newman had a brain no larger than that of a rabbit he was expressing personal dislike and not a scientific estimate. Moreover, the slighted Representatives are yet to be heard from. It is unparliamentary for them to denounce the Senate by name, but it would be strange if some of them did not find an opportnity to refer to painful in- stances of human vanity in “another place.” AR E Harvard professor says that the younger physicists are holding that perpetual motion is within the range of the possible, and the fact that old Tom Heflin hasn't run down yet sort of somehow seem: to back 'em up in their belief.—(Macon Telegraph.)

At the end of 1935 it is planned to pick the “Stamm Mannschaft,” the stem team around which the finished Olympic team can be built. Discussing the summer trsining‘ courses in Ettlingen, the Voelkis- | cher Beobachter, the organ of Adolf Hitler, sald: “The candidates will be given a series of three-day courses under expert tutelage.
