Two weeks ago it was the Navy Submarine squadron. Last week Navy fliers came visiting. Today it is| the turn of fliers of the Army to be greeted These, men have performed no small feat since they hopped | off from Washington, D. C., on July 19. They ha\Li made a mass flight over little known terrain, land- | ing on fields on which almost no information was | available, and in addition to traversing Lhuu:ands‘ of miles, have charted many thousands of wuare‘ miles from the air, mapping in one day more than 8,000 square miles, a record for that kind of work. That is the sort of achievements Alaska has come to expect of the Army. Officers and men | conducted most of the early explorations in mm. Territory after it passed under the American Flag. Upon their data and notes maps were largely | based. In later years they built telegraph lines and operated the communications, laid submarine | cable lines, erected and operated radio stations, built roads and trails and performed other services of inestimable value in the development of our resources. | We hope that the present Army flight to Alasku! presages the establishment of air bases here. There | should be both Navy and Army air squadrons sta- tioned here the year around, getting acquainted with ! flying conditions, studying land and sea routes and otherwise familiarizing themselves with matters which are vital to the defense of the whole Pacific Ocean. Whether this was in the minds of the Army and Naval authorities when they authorized the Aldska expeditions this Summer, “6f course, is not going to be revealed by them. It is gratifying to all Alaskans that they were made, whatever the reasons for it. Juneau is glad to welcome the Army fliers. Local residents want their visit to be as pleasant to them as it is to the people of this city. The keys| to the city is theirs for the duration of their stay,| and the latchstring will be out against the day of | their return. | i A Republican legislative candidate charges the Bureau of Fisheries with “favoritism” in opening | fish trap locations. Possibly he failed to get in| on a location which might account for his criticism | that the present Administration is the worst we | ever have had. 11 With profane emphasis, Candidate Frank H. Foster, at the Republicans’ opening campaign rally at Douglas last Monday evening, termed the Roose- velt Administration'’s New Deal a “wild and riotous orgy of spending.” adopted by the Republican National Committee for the issue in the current campaign. Mr. Foster is properly following the strategy of the high command of the G. O. P. Mr. McCain, appearing on the same platform with him, was less orthedox in his remarks and graciously approved of any of the President’s policies that “benefitted the people.” He refrained, | however, from giving a specific endorsement to any particular policy or to the New Deal as a whole. There has been a lot of hullabaloo raised over the cost of New Deal. While it is true Mr. Foster didn’t speak in terms of dollars, his party leaders have done so specifically. Possibly his mathematics failed him. . . . . A dollar is neither more nor less than a measure of value. A government's debt problems are little different from the debt problems of a farmer, a business man or a manufacturer. A farmer doesn't| reckon his debt in dollars, buf in bushels of wheat or corn or bales of cotton. A jmanufacturer reckons his debt in the finished goods he produces. A merchant in the merchandise he ‘offers for sale. 8o, too, musta government reckon its debts in the terms of commodities produced, which, in the final analysis, constitutes the wealth of the Nation. Perhaps the most accurate way of comparing the debt burden before the New Deal with the debt burden of today would be to make a gomputation Pbased on the wholesale price indices then and now. But that is a mathematical task of appalling pro- portions. Another interesiing comparison could be made by weighing the public debt of eighteen ‘months ago with the income of the people in the Jast year of the Old Deal and comparing it to a| similar computation showing the ratio that exists _between the public debt of today and the income of the people in the first year of the New Deal But that also is a tough sutistical task. . . a slmpler way to measure the debt. And that is in terms of commodities. bushels of wheat would have been 2 public debt in March, 1933, at the birth of the New: Deal? How many bushels Jd be required to pay the public debt today? ‘many bales of wmm How many barrels m q;. m ;—(in parenthesis o | get-away. | iauditors and jrate, he could not, |Government payroll, where the politicians can't get.” {And this gem about the Wickersham Commission: jcratic primary and got 97,000 votes to the Mayor’s l'l‘eutomc forefathers, he represented a race. |and world thought he was. COST OF THE NEW DEAL. i That is the major criticism | e commodity, prlee%——melage for the manlh ol Ma.tfh 1933, and the average during the closing week of last month: March, 1933 July, 1934 Debt in dollars $21 billion $27 billion Debt in wheat . 42.8 billion bushels 31 billion bushels (49 cents bushel) (87 cents bushel) Debt in cotton . 600 million bales 425.2 million bales (7 cents pound) (12.7 cents pound) | | Debt in oil 55.3 billion barrels 28.7 billion barrels (38 cents barrel) (94 cents barrel) | This same kind of comparison might be made with dozens of other commodities to show the New Deal has made the public debt easier to bear. Of course, this is an over-simplification of an extremely compxratpd situation, but it is at least suggesive. . . . . The significant fact about the present campaign |issue is that the Republicans in condemning the New Deol offer nothing to take its place. The | millions of pecple who have been given work, work xnhor and direct relief to keep them from starvation are offered no hope, except to return to the Old S ver. Until the; s ; Deal.

The retirement from Congress of Representative BlaLK of Brooklyn suggests once more that it is dangerous for public men to be as funny as they can. In some respects Mr. Black had the brightest land certainly the most truly- satirical mind in the House. He was active in serious legislation. Yet he never made the impression, so far as influence and | constructive lawmaking is concerned, that was made | by a number of Representatives who were too dull or too wise to be amusing. “Private John" Allen of Mississippi delighted the |House and the country with his sallies, and is re- membered for them. But he never attained great influence. After the dignified Kentucky jurist, | Proctor Knott, indulged himself in his famous “Duluth speech,” the House forgot his learning and serious purposes and demanded that ever thereafter he be entertaining. He quit Congress in disgust | land retired to the isolation of Kentucky's highest court. Probably Mr. Black had these examples in mnid and preferred to amuse himself and his let others do the leading. At any or would not, refrain from such “Lincoln split rails; Hoover splits hairs.” they're on the remaks as: “The Brain Trust have got brains; A group of weather-beaten little travelers, headed by Rip Van Wickersham, sought shelter in the White House * * * creaking and groaning, “Master, we are Wet.” Hoover drew himself proudly to his full height and, a la Mussolini, waved his arm over them, saying: “Brethren, ye are Dry.” Dry they became, as dust, and blew away, never more to be seen by mortal man. Mr. Black was a leader of the repeal forces, a foe of extravagant farm legislation, and it was he who eliminated alli possibility of press censorship | from the State Department’s Anti-Secret Code Bill. He tried to defeat ex-Mayor O'Brien in the Demo- 278,000. If he had refrained from making jests, who knows? i Hindenburg. (New York World-Telegram.) Paul von Hindenburg was more than a man. {He was a symbol. Like the ancient gods of his Long |before death he had become a heroic legend for two generations. To separate fact from legend, man from symbol, {#s impossible. Nor is the effort important. For the \thing that has profoundly influenced German history is not what he actually was but what his people Perhaps history presents no purer paradox. Hin- denburg, mliitarist of the militarists and pride of the Junkers, became a hero by losing a war and an empire. Hindenburg, arch-monarchist, became the idol of the republic. Then—paradox compounded—the monarchist who had saved the republic from destruction by its monachist enemies and his monarchist friends, threw {it to the Nazi wreckers and tried to bless the jxuins by retaining office as President. Until the last humiliating months this was the saga of one mighty jn the simple virtues of courage, loyalty and persomal honor; of one limited in vision Ibut pure in heart., What happened when.he stepped out of character’and went along with Hitler is obscured by the fog of Nazi propaganda and the prisonlike isolation of his country retreat. Maybe history’s verdict will be that the eyes of ithe weary giant had seen too much of strife, the great heart leaped too often to the call of courage; that he who bent before the Nazi weaklings was {not von Hindenburg, the idol, but an enfeebled old man waiting for the grave. Welcome, Judge Hellenthal. (Seward Gateway.) Seward takes this opportunity to bid Judge |Simon Hellenthal welcome to the Third Division over which his judicial mantle enfolds. Judge| Hellenthal was endorsed by Democratic Divisional Committees but his namejand reputation as one of Alaska’s most prominent attorneys had \long preceded his arrival. The Third Division is very fortunate in the selection of ‘Judge Hellenthal, a man ideally fitted for this high ‘office and it is with sincere pleasure that the /Gateway, for the people of this city and environs i‘especlrully salutes the Judge, anj Alaskan' to the core, and bids him a real, honest welcome.: {Journal.) ———iieady. much of a five-in-one-year plan.
