ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. Another specific index of the growing and import- ant tourist travel to Alaska, and to Juneau in particular, is the registration of a total of 6551 visitors at the Territorial Museum, from January of this year through Septenmiber,: an increase of 1,879 over 1933. | This list of names is impressive. It not only indicates the growing number of tourists to the Territory, but it graphically proves that the Terri- torial Museum is a strong attraction to tourists, | and that large numbers of visitors find in it much of interest and educational value. In it and through ' the service and information, afforded by the Curator, | Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff and his Summer assistant, Mrs. E. J. White, tourists find and learn much information about the early history of Alaska, its' people, resources, and industries, that leave lasting impressions. This knowledge visitors gain in a visit to the Territorial Museum undoubtedly is a source of much converastion when they return to their homes, and. in many instances the material is unquestionably used in talks to their local service clubs and other organizations. Through these thou- sands of visitors, many thousands more are encour- aged to “See Alaska Next.” Alaska has a fine Territorial Museum with hundreds of excellent and well displayed exhibits Safely housed in the fireproof-construction Terri- torial and Federal Building. Juneau is fortunate, indeed, in having the Museum located here and should be consciously grateful of the privilege. ATIONS FOR GENERAL BUSINESS.” A healthy indication of Pacific Coast general business conditions is the report of the San Fran- cisco Board of Trade, which reports Pacific Coast retailers have vastly improved their financial condi- tions. As compared with two years ago the report finds only about half as many cases of “financial difficulty” This condition of retail business is not limited to the Pacific Coast. Despite the fact that a quickening of general business throughout the country that is usually associated with this time of year has not been prevalent, national retall sales in particular have been gratifying. The Federal Reserve Board’s preliminary figures GOOD INDIC 2 | of department " {hand | necessary to preserve her economy and her inde- store sales throughout the countryj show a gain of 8 per cent for August over July, and 2 per cent over year ago. These figures gain importance when the fact that sales a year ago last August, made August a “boom” month with an increase of 16 per cent over the previous year. Some of the downward trend, in the composite | business index, which began in May, is due to the fact that the indices are based on statistics of security and financial activity as well as on general business, and the security business is having a marked slump. Another drag on the general upturn is the slug- gishness of the heavy industries, particularly steel, due particularly according to trade experts to the to mouth buying in this industry. Manu- facturers are buying only to meet immediate needs. | However, the generally brisk retail trade, and the unexpected strength in the automobile industry which has been holdipg up against the customary jseasomal downturn is decidedly encouraging, particu- larly with the prospect that the huge National Housihg Act plan, which is now being launched, | will definitely benefit the heavy industries, and speed up production activity in a widespread manner, de- | signed to reach into every community with vitaliz- a ing effect. ! deliberately seek getting hit in the head.

Despite Kevolutions. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) One of the most astonishing and also encouraging features of the news from Geneva is the solid {tharacter of Austrian economic recovery. For some years the little' Danubian State has been a ward of the League of Nations, having borrowed money from the League to stabilize her currency, and having become dependent on the major Powers in the League for, her continued political independ- ence. It has been the assumption of leaders in} Geneva that Austria must be assisted to the extent pendence, if only to maintain the peace structure of Central Europe. It has been assumed in other quarters, however, that Austria cannot survive as an independent | economic unit. In the strict sense, it probably cannot, for it lives by its tourist trade and its ex- ports of manufactured goods. But neither Germany nor any other Power can any longer contend suc-| cessfully that Austria must be united to a neighbor or starve. Despite unprecedented internal troubles and constant friction with Germany, Austria has progressed steadily in the last six months. Austria’s bank reserves are up, her frozen short-| term credits are reduced to modest proportions, and her exports and domestic freight movements are | higher. If this is the record of a very trying semester of revolutions and disorders, surely Austria is capable of recovering her prosperity without absopption into another nation. It remains true that the Austria’s foreign trade is with Germany, and that 'Jugoslavia and Czechoslovakia are better customers |than TItaly. Yet the substantial increase of trade lwith Italy under Mussolini’s guidance suggests that {the Rome Government is not wholly wrong in press- | largest volume of \ing for an economic Federation in the Danube \Valley based on close commercial relations with Ttaly. . The improvement in Austria provides only a breathing space, however, and must be followed up by important tariff concessions on the part of several nations, if Austria is to continue her career (of independence in the very heart trouble zone. So far, all the investigation of the Morro Castle | ster has brought out is that the papers were| right when they reported it as a horrible tragedy. —(Cincinnati Enquirer.) | Kidnaping racket: Middle age’'s effort to capture vouth at summer resorts—(Buffalo Courier-Express.)
