Coontz, throughout a period of forty years up until his death in Bremerton, Washington, last Saturday, was a constant friend and ardent booster of Alaska, He served in Alaska for six years as a young THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY, JAN. 28 |otficer. He married in Sitka. His contacts with Alaska and Alaskans were remembered by him throughout his life and at the peak of his career when he was Commander in Chief of the United States Fleet. In 1932 he was a member of the Alaska delega- tion in the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, holding a proxy from C. J. Todd, now U. S. Marshal at Valdez. The death of Admiral Coontz at the age of 70, after a brilliant naval career, marked the loss of a real friend of Alaska. Peace by Economic Sanity. (Kansas City Star.) It becomes increasingly apparent that the basis of peace has shifted. The problem of preventing war is no longer essentially political, as it was prior 1> 1914, but economic, and a recognition of this fact is forcing many observers to revise their interpre- tation of recent developments as well as their pre- dictions for the future. Nowhere has the case been stated more clearly than by Frank H. Simonds in the current issue of the Atlantic Monthly. According to Mr. Simonds, the three great powers that are regarded today as potential disturbers of the peace, Germany, Japan and Italy, have one common characteristic. They are all relatively poor in natural resources and they |came upon the international scene so late that the 'era of colonial expansion, from which other coun- tries had obtained economic advantage, was virtually closed. | The World War, Mr. Simonds suggests, left Ger-| (many, Japan and Italy economically inferior to the other four great powers, the United States, Great Britain, France and Russia, and the post-war policies of the more fortunate powers tended to enhance their inequality. Instead of sharing their | advantages through economic co-operation that would have permitted the poorer countries to secure readily |the raw materials they lacked, these four countries proceeded to embark upon policies of economic na- |tionalism that drove the others to a state of political desperation, reflected in a fascism, militarism and |imperialism. | As Mr. Simonds describes the situation: | The transition from an agricultural to an | | industrial era created a condition of privilege 1 for those States which possessed upon their own territories an approximate monopoly of l the essential raw materials of industry and | within their national frontiers huge do- mestic markets. They were thus able to exercise an arbitrary power over the material existence of less fortunately placed peoples. For the latter could only obtain the raw materials necessary for their own industrial life as they were able to sell their goods in the market of the more fortunate. De- | nied that market, they had no alternative | save between submission to inequality, with | all its social consequences, and resort to H violence to abolish the inequality. | From Mr. Simond’s point of view, therefore, the French policy of using financial power for political | purposes (through the granting or denial of foreign | loans), the Russian Five-Year Plan, the British system of imperial prefernces (tending to build a ! , { BEAUTY SHOP - —— 20 YEARS AGO From The Empire oo e !

The Emperor of Austria had be- come greatly worried over the des- perate condition of his people and feared that they would not con- tinue to support the war. 'C. Carey Morgan, member of the “millionaire hunting party” that had gone in to the Mt. McKinley district in August, was a south- bound passenger on the Alameda. Morgan Belmont and Charles Ise- lin, other members of the party, were still in the Interior. A. VanMavern, W. Ferguson, J, J. Meherin and Oscar Hart left on the Georgia for Sitka. Beverly B. Dobbs was in Ju- neau presenting the Hesse motion pictures of Alaska. Mrs. Henry Shattuck and two children left for San Diego to spend the remainder of the winter, The second ceremonial of \Camp Fire Girls was held at the home of Mrs. Behrends where the pic- turesque circle of Indian maidens gathered about the blazing fire. The organization had recently ac- quired a permanent club room of its own—a tepee on the Caro prop- erty on the road to Salmon Creek. Here Camp Fire Girls and Blue Birds were able to carry ‘on their handicraft. New Camp Fire mem- bers were Carrie Craig, Laura Tal- bot, Georgia Gilpatrick and Erna Mathews.

The failure of the world disarmament conference, | Japan's seizure of Manchuria, Italy’s militarism and Germany’s provocative foreign policy are each in their own way symptoms of economic disorder, ac- |cording to Mr. Simonds, and he quotes Bertrand | |Russell's statement that “it is not by pacifistl‘ sentiment, but by world-wide economic organization that civilized man can be saved from collective | suicide.” | It is not necessary to feel quite as hopeless as |Mr. Simonds does over the prospect for a more jenlightened economic order, to agree that the United | States must share the responsibility for the world's | present unhappy plight and that it is up to this |country actively to co-operate in removing the economic causes of war. | A Righteous Protest. (Sangar, Cal.,, Herald.) It has recently come to our a‘tcilion that a movement is on foot to label foods—particularly canned foods—with a grade system. For instance |“Canned Peas—Grade A" will supposedly tell the |buyer all she is to know. The canning industry protests, and we believe, rightly, that such a system |will tell the buyer nothing, will tend to reduce |quality, lessen the farmers’ and growers’ income, |open up unlimited price competition, and raise havoc | all down the line. | The counter suggestion fo the canning industry | |is descriptive labeling—labeling which will tell the | |consumer all that the canner is able to state in| "deflnlw, accurate terms about the product in the can—the method of ‘preparation; amount of contents |in measure, pieces, or number of servings; color; | |etc., more in fact than the purchaser would know ! about fresh fruits or vegetables when purchaseq | The value of the descriptive label is obvious. This additional information, coupled with the pur- chaser's acceptance of a well-known brand name, would make substitution, either by canner or dealer, well nigh impossible. | We believe the canning industry is meeting the! trend of the times by proposing to tell pur- chasers of their products all about the product,| by means of the label.
