ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION | (e —— NOTABLE RECORD OF RECOVERY. John Maynard - Keynes Internationally known British economist, recently returned to his London home after an extended visit to this country, said the American National income had increased 12 to 15 per cent in 1933 and about as much again in the half of 1934 He hailed this as a “colossal cvement in that length of time,” and declared that the level of economic activity is at least 83 per cent as high as the average level of the pre- boom years, 1923-25. His view of the enormity of the progress made under President Roosevelt and the NRA is voiced by Arthur Brisbane, who commenting upon the activities during the first year of NRA endeavor declared there is absolutely no doubt, “whatever your opinion of NRA and ‘Government Interference in business, that ‘Government interference’ has stirred up activity in what was a stagnant business and industrial swamp of despair.” He cited some of the outstanding results of this phase of the President’s recovery program at the end of its first year of work and worry, for which, he said, NRA executives feel a justifiable pride: Manufacturing production up 50 per cent; department store sales up 46 per cent; var- iety-store sales up 86 per cent; general country-store sales up 66 per cent. And most important as a test of national recovery spending power optimism, in March 1933 the American public bought 118,000 automobiles, and in March 1934 it bought 336,013 automobiles, an increase of 184.8 per cent. Also, iron and steel prodution in- creased 200 per cent during NRA's first year; bituminous coal, 62.5 per cent; electric-power preduction, 149 per cent; freight car load- ings, 15.3 per cent. These are evidences that more and more factories are producing as a consequence of well over $3,- 000,000,000 increase in industrial pay rolls to be- tween three and four millions recruited to regular work from the ranks of the unemployment. Continuing, Mr. Brisbane said: Important to publishers, magazine adver- tising increased during the year 235 per cent and newspaper advertising lineage 35.7 per cent. In April United States exports were 709 per cent above April 1933, and imports increased 59.6 per cent. All of which Brisbane puts in bold black face, together with President Roosevelt’s “expression of satisfaction with the achievements of NRA,” which ' opened as follows: We have spread employment, we have raised pay, and we are not through yet. It is a notable record of recovery. It has led the way for other nations and has produced widespread and, I believe, perman- ent results. Certainly we have a right to celebrate this anniversary. | TO EXPLORE DEPTHS OF GLACIERS. It is a comparatively simple task to measure the depth of a river but if the stream is frozen golid, it become moré complicated, particularly if | the river is an ice-river, or glacier. During the current summer, however, depth measurements will of which be made in Alaska and Canadian Yukon. not, however, be through the age-old ice to bed rock. Belnap, of the University of Michigan, who will us ice is the only data needed for depth or thickness of the glacier. KODIAK FISH IS NEW GENUS. Scientists have identified as genus a fish taken is an now possessed by Institution. Dr. Carl L. Hubbs, of of Michigan, made the identification. collection of organs loosely stuffed inside. The new fish has been named the elephantictys, or elephant fish. instead with a skeleton of cartilege. surface, out of the water, it flattens out. The name elephant fish was bestowed on it be- cause of its thick rough skin and its clumsy move- ments. Its skin is one-quarter of an inch thick one of the thickest known for any creature of It has power of locomotion but It prefers to lie on the bottom comparable size. it seldom uses it. of shallow water and wait for its food to come to it. sucker on the ventral surface. An offieial announcement from Jackson, by a vote of two to one.” 'never be dry. informs us, are noted for their beauty. cause it was Nice. President Roosevelt has radioed General Johnson that he may speak whenever he wishes and wherever he desires. We take it that it wasn't aboslutely necessary to tell him that he can say whatever he ! wants to, and however he feels like saying it. | | On account of the dignity of the office he holds, !a President of the United States, it is said, cannot “cuss” as do other men in less exalted offices. Fresident Roosevelt is fortunate in having Gen. Johnson to pinch hit for him on occasions. | Mr. Baruch Sits Down to Write. | 1 | (New York Herald Tribune.) It is good news that Mr. Bernard M. Baruch has dropped the ticker tape for good and all and will shortly advance uptown to take his pen in hand. Few enough of the people who ought to write memoirs ever get around to writing them. A special cheer of praise goes to Mr. Baruch for his correct estimate of the material which he pos- sesses and his foresight in tackling the task of re- ducing it to paper while the sun is still overhead. It is no sinecure that he faces. Mr. Baruch need not take too seriously the warnings of those writing men who will assure him that writing is the hardest work in the world. It is—if it involves thought, that is—but it also happens to be one of the most entertaining. The real lions in Mr. Baruch’'s path are those amiable beasts entitled Loyalty, Modesty and Kindliness. What tons of precious intimate details those well meaning censors have suppresed! To name those three qualities is to describe nothing less than the core of Mr. Baruch's nature, as countless friends can testify. Plainly, therefore, if Mr. Baruch's volumes are to be anything more than an apology for his friends and heroes, he will need to fortify himself with a sterner point of view. That view might be called the historian’s and would be based upon nothing less than a sense of the importance of the truth—a not ignoble at- titude, it will be granted, and one that is equally part of the Baruch creed. Mr. Baruch has led a long and varicolored life. He has known the great and has himself done great things. The facts that he knows, set down without favor, would constitute an invaluable record of one of the nation’s greatest of hours. May he write such a book and may he find as much fun in the writing of it as his readers will unquestion- ably find in reading it!
