ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION — — - AID FOR STRICKEN NOME. Meager details received in Juneau last night (as| i | this was written) indicate that Nome has been stricken by one of the: most disastrous conflagra-| tions in its history. Practieally the entire busmessi district has been wiped out and the flames were/| spreading into the_ residential district and had not | been brought under contrel. Food supplies for only about seven days were available. Hundreds are homeless. The loss’ will rin. well into the hundreds tqld, them radio, signal Some fo; fudicate a course to left or right.

Seattle.) ! 3 In the current B. C. Forbe; appears worried: issue of his magazine he writes: 1 have four sons, two of them aprroach- ing the age when they must go out and face the ecarning of a living. President Rocsevelt's recently announced ambition to have the Government guarantee “the security of the home, the security of livelinood and the security of social insurance” causes me to wonder if the prospect of so much sheltering, so much safeguarding, so much financial protection, so much paternalism will cause them to discount, disregard, de- spise my teachings. I have tried to impress upon them that they must fit themselves to make their own way in the world, that they must develop self-rellance, that they must cultivate a spirit of manly ‘independence, that they must be prepared to earn every penny coming teo them, that they must expect nothing for of thousands of dollars. All Alaska regrets this disaster, a major catas- | trophe to the Bering Sea metropolis, and one that will seriously affect its prosperity and well-being this Winter. Aid is already being arranged for. Gov. Troy today was taking steps to relieve any human suffering and to prevent want. The Amer-, ican Red Cross, always ready to lend a helping hand, has communicated with B. M. Behrends, Chairman of the Juneau Chapter of that organization, asking what is needed. Everything that can be done will be done. Alaskans as individuals, through the Ter- ritorial Government and through civic and other organizations will be found ready to help out their fellows in their hour of need. Emergency relief work will be done as quickly as communication and transportation facilities will permit. Already United States Coast Guard ve: on the Bering Sea patrol are on their way. The steamer Victoria with some food and other supplies §8 enroute from Seattle on a regular trip. Other vessels can be dispatched with needed supplies. The more serious problem is in reconstruction of the necessary buildings to house the population and businesses and industries. during the coming Winter. Thé e 1s'shovt. Wil ‘i weeks or' $o' the Arctic ice will move south and cut off ocean transportation, the only means of getting the neces- sary building material and supplies. Before Winter comes, much must be done if serious suffering is to be avoided. Both the Terriforial and Federal gov- ernments will be called on for assistance in this work. Both, we believe, will respond promptly in every possible way. CONSOLIDATION OF CODES. In the hectic days which immediately followed the approval of the National Recovery Act by Presi dent Roosevelt in June, 1933, Gen. Johnson pr pounded the gquestion: “Can we get all employers in America to do about the same thing at the same time when they know that by doing it they can bring this country of ours out of this depression and lift this deadening load of fear and dread from the people’s hearts?” That was 14 months ago. Since the beginning of the march of trade and industry in Washington, n response to the appeal to the Nation, 96 per cent |they are in Line to get it. of our 24,000,000 wage earnmers in 1929 have been covered by NRA codes. Business is improving. Un- employment is less. Fear is passing, and the Blue Eagle is the co-operative symbol of most of Amerlca.‘ With all but o fraction of industry codified, the mext phase of NRA has already been entered into. This is the lidation® of + codes. “Bvery effort now is being madé: to bring related trades and industries under fewer codes than were neces- #ary in the earlier stages of the recovery program. This consolidation is undertaken in the" interest of economy on the cne hand and greater efficiency in principle the number of codes will be steadily re- duced, while at the same time the problem of administration will be simplified. Thus the whole system under NRA is to be kept elastic and subject to change wherever - and whenever experience points the way in adjustments o the interests of greater efficiency. And just now the emphasis is being placed upon consolidation as a vital step toward the complete realization of ~ General Johnson’s lidea of ‘all the employers in the Dnited States doing “about the same thing at the same time.” By this means will progress continue and recovery become permahent. _“GHOST HUNT” ALONG THE AIRWAYS.| “Ghosts” in tne air have been leading aviators y, taking \‘.hem/ off their courses and leaving n in dangerous,predicaments.

We doubt that the President entertains the thought that life for average individuals should be made a long siesta on a bed of roses. Rather, our President has in mind the hope that industrial and social insecurity, so evident in recent years, can be made less hazardous to millions of good citizens. He may feel that the time must come again when it can be truthfully said that “any man who wants work can find it.” That condition does not obtain nowadays. Maybe the President is not thinking so much of the sons of prominent men, such as those boys of. Mr. Forbes, as he is of the vast numbers of mén il middle life who are automatically cast aside under our present system—cast eside like so many cattle as no longer worth their feed—cast aside by a greedy industrialism that has financially benefited comparatively few. ! The President may be thinking of the millions of American women now denied the right to carn their livelihood even at the most menial tasks in ,this, the so-called mosi enlightened nation on the ‘mom‘. The President may be, and undoubtedly is, aware of the fact that social and industrial security is more assured in certain smaller and poorer |countries of Eurcpe than has ever been the case in America, and that there has been no lack of in- centive for individual initiative in those lands.
