ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, FEB. 1, 1935 before them this session. The Administration has a wide and intelligent program worthy of the best consideration the Congress can give it. The fact that a Roosevelt backed international issue has been defeated should have no bearing whatsoever on the outcome of national legislation. With the able lead- ership thbe people have given them in the Chief Executive, the members of the Senate and House of Congress should be able to settle down now and make use of all the ability and good sense they asured the voters they had during the campaign, The Business Outlook. (New York Times.) The annual review and forecast number of The Annalist contains not only a record of important trends and developments during the past year but an appraisal of the present outlook for business in general and for many industries in particular. For some of them conditions are described as “definitely favorable.” Thus the automobile industry—which last year produced more cars and sold a larger number of them, both at home and abroad, than in any year since 1930—continues to be favored by so large a potential demand for replacements that —~————. { 20 YEARS AGO From The Empire e et ) The Germans in Poland were be- ginning to realize that they were under the tragic compulsion of having to place their hopes on the Austrians who were protecting their right flank. Their two months’ struggle toward the mid- dle Victula had brought them only enormous losses and had not pre- vented the Russians from operat- ing successfully in Galicia. The raid of the German sub- marine had caused marine insup- ance rates to go up in Great Britain. The German cruiser Karlsruhe Wgs reported to have sunk eleven the production this year of more than double the |commercial vessels, flying the flag number of cars produced in 1934 would be neces-|©f Great Britain or France during sary “in order to place the motor industry back in the same position it occupied at the end of 1929.” | Another branch of the transportation industry—the the previous two weeks. A team of horses belonging to | irailways—is by no means so favorably placed. While|Fred Hile wrecked a milk wagon | A REAL BOOST. Alaska's future development pends, as residents of the Territory have long been aware, on its air transportation and the report of the Federal \Aviation Commission released yester- day from Washington, D. C., will be received with enthusiasm by those who have the interests of this vast and abundant northland at heart. | “Plainly Alaska has urgent- need for air trans- port service and commercial development of Alaska would be enormously assisted by the availability of swift year around transportation,” the commis- sion reported. “We accordingly recommend the work of the airways division of the Commerce Depart- ment be extended to cover Alaska and that main routes in the Territory be given communication weather reporting systems comparable with the standard in the United States.” Immediate need for improved service on existing routes covering 2336 miles and touching 41 cities and towns was stressed by the commission. It is gratifying to note that those officials close to the national seat of govenment, who are in position to do much toward furthering the interests of Alaska, are aware and sympathetic to the cause of the Territory. Air accidents such as the one| which occurred this week near Skagway, claiming | four lives, bring home to Alaskans constantly and | commercially de-| a moderate increase of traffic this year is foreseen.‘ owned by the Juneau Dairy. The the conclusion reached in the present survey is that|Tunaways started near the top of |operating costs may also rise moderately, that com- | Main Street Hill and galloped in- | petitive transportation agencies preclude any sub- | to Sixth Street where the milk stantial increase of rates, and that continued finan- cial assistance by the Federal Government will be whose position is considered. Of particular interest at this time, not ,only because the Roosevelt Administration has recently of its basic importance to the whole problem of | recovery, is the present situation in the construction | g indusrty. The Annalist's review acce; reported in other recent surveys: namely, “that vast | numbers of Americans live in antiquated, run-down | homes” and that the potential demand for new |, building it very large. Why is this demand ignored | by private capital, which seldom fails to flow‘ promptly into opportunities for reasonable profit? The answer given is that present economic condi- tions prevent the construction industry from offer- ing private capital the assurance of such profit. Between 1929 and 1934 the national income declined by aproximately 50 per cent; but building costs— in which wages are an important item—declined by only 12 per cent. This is one of the “outstand- ing disparities” in the whole record of the de- pression. But as yet no frontal attack has been made on the problem of bringing current building costs into line with current income. | ! Pacific Coast Defenses. | (Los Angeles Times.)
