The weather, as Mark Twain said, always is a topic of conversation but nobody seems to do any- | thing about it. The past week or two it has been a more popular topic than ever with storms sweep- ouz had “simply assisted in the liquidation of in- | cancy caused by the death in Cali- | Far West and debtedness” and had “practically no effect upon the |fornia of Senator Elwood Bruner ing’ the East, South, Middle West, even a little winter occurring around Juneau. The Puget Sound country, widely known for its ordinarily mild climate, was first harassed with snow and freezing weather to be followed by a warm wind which sent rivers roaring out of their banks and some 18,000 persons homeless. Even Cali- fornia which has never failed to keep the record straight about its climate feels the hand of earth- quake and flood from time to time. conditions of the nether regions on a comparative basis. Residents of J ness of stoking ti 1s they go about the busi- nace, after all have little cause for complaint thcse long winter evenings. Its much pleasanter to haunt the basement heating plant than it is to ride a housetop in the flood area. JUST A SUGGESTION., Two weeks of the Twelfth Alaska Territorial Legislature has become history; organization has been perfected and some 36 bills, resolutions and memorials have been introduced before the respective bodies, the vast majority of them in the House. None of the proposals, with exception of a de- ficiency appropriation bill and a few of the memorials, have gotten further than committee, a natural cnnclusmn as_usually therg is no cause to rush through legislation which may have vital bearing on the Territory, There are, however, many more bills to be introduced. Nearly every Legislator has one or two Pproposals which he is duty bound to present whether they get consideration or not. Point has been made on several occasions by both President Hess of the Senate and Speaker Hofman of the House the need for early introduction of bills in an effort to avoid as much as possible the always existing jam in the closing days. The major appropriation measures, liquor control proposals and taxation matters take time and much study in committee before they can be brought out in intelligent shape. And the work of committees studying these subjects is going to be multiplied as time goes on. Thus it would seem the Legislators could facili- tate their own work by introducing their bills early in the session, allowing their committees time to consider them, thus, in part at least, clearing the decks for the Territorial problems they must attend to before six weeks more has expired.

Mr. Nerland's and Douglas for $1.25 than indignation. | ed in this paper and also the And popular | conception often goes as far as to put the climatic | larms his friends in Congress with something more | Without waste of words, Mr. Roosevelt demolishes | the three principal arguments of those who demand immediate payment of the bonus—namely, that the | Government now “owes” something like $2,000,000,000 to its ex-soldiers, that payment of this sum is neces- sary to aid those in distress and that the expenditure of the amount thus distributed would hasten Lh(‘; recovcry of - business, With regard to the Govenment’s obligation, he poims out that it is not due until 1945; that the present value of all of the veterans’ adjuscd-service} certificates now outstanding is only $410,000,000 above the amount already borrowed on them and |that some ex-soldiers have actually “borrowed more than the present worth of their certificates” With |regard to the question of relief, he notes that all | citizens (ex-soldiers included) share equally in the generous relief funds distributed by the Government, | while in the matter of employment “a very definite | and distinct prefercnce is given to veterans” In| this connection he asks whether the ex-soldier would |really gain by sacrificing his insurance policy for (the sake of immediate payment, when the Govern- ment has found that approximately 85 per cent| of its war veterans, upon death, leave no legacy to their wives and children except their service certifi- |cates. Finally, so far as the stimulation of business |is concerned, he points out that no such effect followed the distribution of approximately 31.000,-{ | 000,000 to ex-soldiers in 1931, when the loan value of | [their certificates was increased. This is no new |finding. On the basis of first-hand investigation at the time, the Administrator of Veterans' Affairs, {reported in 1932 that most of the money thus paid business situation in the country.” | | The President states these points with quiet force. He plainly hopes that they will rally enough | sentiment against the bonus plan to kill it early in the session. But he ‘left no doubt, when last confronted by this issue, of his readiness to see it through. Last February he wrote this “memorandur | for the Speaker”: Naturally, when I suggested to you that I could not approve the bill for the payment of the bonus certificates I did not mean that I might let it become law without my signa- ture. I don't do things that way. What I meant was that I would veto the bill, and I don't care who you tell this to. Singapore Another Gibraltar. (Sydney, Australia, Church Times.) rock that separates the Pacific Ocean from the Indian Ocean. Traffic between the two oceans must | pass through Singapore. Nor is that all. Nature| has made the position even more secure by the fact that the approach is guarded by treacherous, danger- ous currents and channels. No ship can pass through the channel without a pilot. The secrets of these currents are closely guarded. Only British- born men are allowed to become pilots. They hold the key to the position. A ship trying to force its way through the channel without one of these men aboard . would soon b€ smashed to. pieces. | In strengtening its strategic position, every pos- sible use has been made of the advantages provided by Nature. The naval base is tucked away in the sheltered Straits of Johore, which is fifteen m)losv northward from the port of Singapore. The entrance to the Straits is commanded by Cape Changi, and a group of islands, and it is rumored that the best land fortifications in the world are being built on these islands to protect the base. Gun emplacements are being constructed under cover of Nature’s tangled growth by men sent out specially from England. Along the coast, great searchlights have been placed in position so that their powerful beams can turn night into day. These defenses will make the island of Singapore| one of the world’s greatest ocean strongholds.
