The epochal solo flight of Amelia Earhart from Honolulu to Oakland, California, covering a dis- tance of 2,408 miles in 18 hours and 16 minutes, was recorded and also the néws that a group in the National House of Representatives have launched a movement to earmark $100,000,000 of new Public Works appropriation for border air defense, and that plans for the program include Alaska. Both of these factual news stories bear out the vital importance of the necessity for adequate air defense in Alaska which has been consistently advo- cated in these columns, not only for the safety of the Territory and its people but for the entire Pacific Coast of the United States. | ‘When a lone woman can fly an ordinary com- mercial plane non-stop from Honolulu over 2408 miles of ocean in 18 hours, the event dramatically shows and visualizes the devastating effect the planes of a hostile power with air bases in Alaska could have on a major part of the United States, and more particularly the western coast. The fact that ten army bombers, equipped with wheel landing gear only, successfully made a non- stop flight from Juneau to Seattle in 5 hours, 40 minutes last August, proved not only to continental United States but to the world that hostile forces could be in close striking distance of the United States from Alaska if they had bases or stopping places here. Secretary of War Dern in greeting the fliers upon their arrival in Washington, D. C,, said: “You have forged a link@betwotn.Alaska and the people of the United States. You have demonstrated anew the skill and daring of our army fliers and the thoroughness of their training.” The link that the Secretary of War stated was forged by this flight of army bombers should and must be adequately protected. The only way it can be protected is through large scale air defense throughout the Territory of Alaska. An adequate amount of Federal funds for air defense should be appropriated, and when this is' done Alaska should receive a sufficient amount to insure its protection and the bases should be sufficiently formidable to prevent any hostile power from attacking continental United States through | Experiment Is the Rule. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) ‘ Any careful survey of the public policies of major‘ nations indicates that virtually all of them have“ rosorted to experiments similar to those in the Jnited States. It is common to assume that this| country has made a new departure in its numerous public enterprises, and that some other States at least are recovering through the traditional channels | of “normal economic forces.” Even a hasty can- vass shows that experimentation has become the well-nigh invariable rule. | Growing out of the experience with war-time | mobilization of national strength, the governments | have turned almost without exception to some form of pubhc respon.sxbmy for v.he reller of unemploycd | | (Detroit News.) THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY, JAN. 14, 1935. Unemp]oymem. insurance, \xhlch is hrgely selr-sup- porting, has been found almost as inadequate as private philanthropy in meeting the colossal need for relief. Public appropriations are the rule. In a surprisingly large number of countries, public works programs have been developed. Even France, although committed to a deflationary gold standard, voted 10,000,000,000 francs for public works summer. Agriculture has been the special care of governments in most instances, and not merely in the United States. Every major country has the equivalent of our Agricultural Adjustment Admin- istration program, whether in the form of tariffs, quotas, subsidies, bounties, or processing taxes. In virtually all these countries also, government has intervened actively to expand credit—even in the nations which are pursuing deflation: policies with respect to' their currencies. The near-univer- sality of these reports to public experimentation in economic life does not necessarily justify them. But it indicates that pressures which are not peculiar to American cenditions or the American political system are at work compelling public authority everywhere to use its utmost power to intervene in the economic system with a view to restoring i activity. Helping Boys. (Times- Herald, Alliance, Neb.) No man stands 'so straight as when he stoops to help a boy. With so many million of men out of work it is such an easy matter to become careless and pay Men are doubly busy with Worrying details one's mind. Yet, all about us, are boys who need help—the help that comes from encourag- ing words, a helping hand, a little boost. All these helpful things take just a minute of any man’s {time—and yet they mean so much to a boy. It does not take long for a boy to grow and develop into a man. It may be that what we say today will have a big influence on what kind of. & man he will be. Are we doing the thing that will help the boy? Just a cordial word of greeting in the morning as the boy is on his way to school will frequently give the lad just the needed en- couragement for that particular day. Do we do that? Can we truthfully say that we have been the means and channel by which a boy gets in- spiration to do better things. There is so much we can do in boys work with- out ever having to take any time to do it. Most how easily it can be done. No man stands so straight as when he stoops to help a lzoyA Ogden Mills, Economist.

It was estimated at Rome that the dead would exceed 60,000, The stricken area extended from South of Naples 300 miles northward to | Ferrara and from the Adriatic to| the Ligurian sea. The worst shock was on the morning of January 13, and lasted for twenty minutes. With Emperor Wilhelm as a witness, the Germans won an im- portant victory at Soissons. Miss Lessie George left to visit her sister, Mrs. Bjorge at Scow Bay, Wrangell Narrows. Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Post moved into the E. C. Hurlbutt house. Arthur J. Ficken, local manager of the Frye-Bruhn market, was re- turning from a trip to Portland. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. John Harris. The father is a son of Richard Harris, one of the founders of Juneau. Funeral services for the late Richard J. F. Mill, prominent ar- chitect and builder well-known in Alaska, were held in Portland sev- eral days previously, after the ar- rival there of his son, Minard, from Treadwell.

Perhaps the reason we find so much violent criticism of the Administration today is because our theoretical economists have worked out the formula for pros- perity in their academic vacuums, and take no ac- count of the inescapable political factors that bear | on public policy. Ogden Mills, although not a professional econ- | omist, illustrates the point admirably in his recent | address at Seranton.

Thus he condemns not only the major policy of the | Roosevelt Administration, but also the major policy of the Hoover Administration, in which he was Secretary of the Treasury, It was under Secretary Mills that the Government began its policy of‘ deliberately incurring a budget deficit! As a private citizen, with a knowledge of theo- retical economics, Mr. Mills can easily demand a bal- anced budget. But if he were in a position of authority he might do just what he did in 1932 and what Mr. Roosevelt is doing on a vaster scale. He would meet the needs of hungry men and women and children, and would wager the assets of the whole nation in an effort to bring some |stimulus to industry. It has been recalled that the late President Coolidge couldn’t understand how Senator Borah, who loved horseback riding, could be content to go in the same diréction as the horse.—(Toledo Blade.) Preparatory to the arrival of Congress, the Capitol and the Washington Monument have both been cleaned, but we hope this doesn't give the boys ideas about the treasury.—(Boston Herald.) Detroit is on the verge of a great year. It is lestimated that 5,000,000 cars in the country are.not worth as much as the new set of license plates.— Habit is a terrible thing.

Albert W. Stevens, scien-| tific observer and crack aerial pro- tographer, will be in command of the balloon, which will be piloted by Capt. Orvile A. Anderson.

Kepner, who commanded the 1834 {flight, and who, with Captain Stevens and Captain Anderson, stuck to the dis- will be made next| ploded, will be unable to take part in the new expedition because of army duties. The flight next summer will be made from the same place as that of 1934, a protected basin in the Black Hills, eleven miles south- west of Rapid City, South Dakota. MANY HEAR STUDENTS OF MRS. FERGUSON IN MUSICAL RECITAL SAT. Before an interested gathering of relatives and friends, music stu- dents of Mrs. Hazel James Fergu- Ison entertained with their annual recital on Saturday night at the ‘LuLheran Church, Among the most interesting num- bers on the well selected program was one double duet in which four students played and a number of two piano ensembles. The expert- |ness and harmony with which these |groups of students played together |showed splendid training and the |result of many hours of careful practice. | Comments among the audience !included high praise for the poise |and finished touch of the students and many who were present at Mrs. Ferguson’s recital of a year ago, noted the decided improve- ment among the small beginners. Three students, who distinguished themselves and performed like fin- ished musicians, were Miss Beatrice Forrest Bates. Among the oldest| who took part in the recital Sat-! urday evening, all three were pres- | ented with the Dunning pin, by Mrs. Ferguson. The award of the pin indicated that they had com- pleted the Dunning course, the latter explained as she made the presentation. “I am proud of them all and feel that they have suc- ceeded in accomplishing a great deal,” she said. Mrs. Ferguson teaches the Dunning system, which includes a thorough study of com- position and harmony as well as the actual study of piano. = Death Announced of Gottlieb von Jagow BERLIN, Jan. 14—The death of Gottlieb von Jagow, who at the outbreak of the World War, con- ducted Germany’s Foreign Affairs under Chancellor von Bethmann Hollweg, is announced.
