The comparatively minor increase in the va EDUCATION WILI of gold and silver exports from Alaska in 1933, Prolongation of the average period of education amounting to $570,274 above the 1932 total, is but a hint of what may be expected from the Northern Territory this year. Even if operations this year are kept at the same rate as last, it is certain that the dollar value of the exports would be considerably higher. Increase in the price of gold from $20.67 an ounce to $35 last year came too late to be fully reflected in last year's exports. The incentive of higher prices, however, has launched many new projects to reclaim gold from previously unprofitable mines, which, together with ease unemployment pressure was the declara- tion made recently by Harry Woodburn Chase, Chancellor of the New York University at a con- ference of the American Bankers Association in New York City. “The whole world is disturbed and restles: Dr Chase said, citing “youth movements” in Germany and Italy, which have brought into being govern- ments operated by emotion and prejudice.

The gist of the message was that the bank “impedes and defeats” what the Administration sought to do. In a few months General Jackson rocesses which make trust education should not be mind.
