ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICA’ LARGER N INDIAN WELFARE. The action of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, at the anual convention held at Saxman, this week, in adopting a letter signed by retiring President Frank Booth, addressed to John Collier, Commission- | er of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which according to brief press reports, requested the shifting of the Indian Office from educational to ‘economic develop-, ment for the Indians, appears to be a step in the right direction, and one that should lead to the bettering of conditions among the native people of L Alaska. The stressing of the economic development is in accord with th Administration’s new policy as evinced by the Wheeler-Howard Bill, enacted by Congress June 16, 1934, and signed by President Roosevelt two days later Certain parts of the bill the Territery of Alaska, and designed for the improvement welfare of Indians.

It is an immense and unprecedented responsibility that thus is laid upon him. The Congress that has been returned presumably contains a larger radical element than the last. But the President has the prestige to hold unwise radicalism in c¢heck and to proceed along the lines he has laid out, with the corrections indicated by experience. With the utmost good will and gympathy, the country prays he may meet his great responsibilities wisely apd well (New York World-Telegram.) The American Bankegs': Assoclation convention improved relations hetween [that fraternity and the Federal Government. A spirit of co-operation was created in contrast to the' earlier efforts of some banking groups to block the:New Deal. Of course, there were some notes off key. Mr Reynolds, of the First National Bank of New York City, spoke rather complacently of “the poor whom we have always with us,” and the chief resolution asserted faith “in the present banking structure” without any reference to imperfections and needed reforms. But, on the whole, it was a reassuring conven- tion. There was fear that the association might permit itself to be misused by reactionary political and financial interests for partisan purposes. In- stead, however, of opposing necessary relief ex- penditures and demanding an immediate balancing of the budget, the convention took the following wise and temperate position: While thus declaring our conviction that a balanced budget is the cornerstone of sound financial policy, whether public or private, e, -nevertheless, recognize that emergency expenditures are at times called for in the interests of human welfare. Under- standing statesmen meet such emergencies as they arise, but at the same time make it clear that expenses cannot. be allowed to exteed income indefinitely. Although immediate balancing of would be both unwise and impossible in view of emergency needs, the American Bankers' Associa- tion properly asserted that the goal of balancing of the budget is necessary to eliminate fear of currency inflation and to curb extravagance. The assoclation could have made its point even stronger if it had recognized that mcreased’ taxation is necessary for the same purpose. In- creased Federal taxation based on capacity to pay is not a popular doctrine, particularly in these times. But it is a necessary part of sound Gov- ernment finances, in which bankers rightly are S0 deeply interested. the budget | | ———— 20 YEARS AGO From The Enpire t o et NOVEMBER 19, 1914, Trenches in Flanders were re- ed to be filled with ice-cold man endurance, by a handful of soldiers from the British Expedi- tionary Forces who were invalid- ed home, nearly dead from ex- posure to grim winter, Emory Valentine started a move- ment to put Juneau in the list of contributors to the Belgian relief fund to which both- Fairbanks and Nome had already sent both food and clothing. inessmen immediately responded.

ESKIMOS CREDITED WITH AID DURING RECENT NOME FIRE| Eskimos of Nome, particularly the King Islanders, under the lead- ership of their fine Chief, were given full credit for the aid they contributed in removing furniture, food, clothing and other articles from stores and homes, during the recent blaze which raised the Bering Sea town, in a letter from V. R. Farrell, Bureau of Indian, Affairs teacher received recently by C. W. Hawkesworth. In addition to helping in the salvage work, the Eskimos aided in fighting the fire itself, Mr. Farrell wrote. Other fine points noted among the natives at the time of the| fire included their assistance when | the church, hospital and Native | lechcol 'were threatened by the| blaze.

A Great (Kansas City Star.) ew Deal Triumph. No President ever received such a vote of con- fidence as Franklin D. Roosevelt received yesterday. ‘I'wo years ago his unprecedented victory was large- 1y a vote against the depression as identified with President Hoover. Yesterday the voters gave their verdict on Rooseve mnd the New Deal in action for nearly two year Normally there is a swing back to the opposition party in the midterm election. This year that pre- cedent was reversed and the Democratic Party made pains in both Senate and House, crashing through supposedly impregnable Republican strongholds. The outcome was the more remarkable in view of the persistence of the depression. No one knows better than the successful Con- eressional candidates that their victories were not personal. They rode into office on the popularity of President Roosevelt. Obviously the party in power had great initial advantages. Through the various alphabetical or- genizations set up in the last two years it had an effective organization extending into every .country township and into every city ward. The huge Gov- ernment expenditures throughout the country could not fail to exert a powerful influence, ! Even these factors to a considerable extent were 'ssential parts of -the New Deal policies. On the other hand, the opposition was disorgan- ized and without effective leadership. Few able! vounger men have come forward in the party in ecent years. Republican leaders of the type of Landon of Kansas and Vanderberg of Michigan are rare. And the voters mowed down the old party hacks in Washington—men barren of ideas and in | many cases alied with reactionary interests. In the national campaign the country was con- fronted with the alternatives of approving further | trial of the policies of the last two years or o{! registering merely a protest vote. But with all of these considerations left out of 'great share in a little house.” A French proverb has it that “God often has a The first impression that “America’s Little House” gives is that it is A place where, in its proper environment, God would be pleased to have a share. The v sight of it can but awaken desires and ambitions in the hun- dreds of thousands who pass it (at Park Avenue and Thirty-ninth Street) to have a babitation for a home. Not that it is offered as a “model” for re- production. It is intended merely as an ‘“educa- tional demonstration of values in house cpnstruction, interior decoration and furnishing suited to the needs of the average home owner with a moderate income.” The ultimate cbject is to raise the stand- ards of home life through the attractiveness, conven- lence and the healthfulness of single-family housing. ‘The multiplication of such single homes would be one of the most important factors in economic recovery, but the moral value of better homes are beyond all computation in economic figures. The Government is doing its part to encourage home building and home improvement. The Better Homes Association with its 9,000 committees is making a nation-wide effort in keeping with the Adminis- traton’s policy, which has its inception in an earller Administration, to give helpful advice to those who, of their own resources or with assistance from the Federal fund, are ready to avail of such assistance. Nearly 50 per cent of all families owned their own homes in 1920. The relative number has no doubt been much diminished in the last few years. Their increase will be the most welcome evidence of ‘a happier day in which comfortable homes will rank immediately, as Sydney Smith said, after “health and a good conscience.” New York is incited today to America's Little Homre, whose interior ‘is ‘evén more attractive than the exterior. ‘Arry—Wot does “Not transferable” mean on. this ticket?
