Aviation has already progressed greatly in Al-| aska and Alaska can: well be proud of the admirable, | ecourageous, and efficient pilots, and the airplane service that has pioneered the way for this trans- Alaska service soon to be put into effect, by the Pacific Alaska Airways. In addition to the through service, Juneau to PFairbanks, Fairbanks to Nome, feeder lines will sgrve other parts of the Territory, also independent | generalities and went straight | illuminating its inconsistencies | and exposing its limitations. It was time, the Presi-| dent said, to review the record “as a whole” and| to decide whether measures adopted in a moment | of emergency were actually “best calculated to| promote industrial recovery and a permanent im-| provement of business and labor conditions.” But| of such a review, and of such an examination of policies and methods, there is no evidence in the message sent to Congress recently. Aside from pro- posing that NRA be prolonged for two years, with a continued prohibition of child labor and the elimination of jail sentences for code violations, there is not a genuinely specific recommendation in the President’s statement, not a hint that he has found the answer to a single one of the chal- lenging questions which he himself asked four| months ago, not a passage which uses the blunt| language of that earlier address to define the real nature of the problem. It is as if the President, ti to resolve the inner contradictions ‘decided on such disputed points as whether tof {revise Section 7a, and wearied by the conflicting | |counsel of different groups of advisers who have | attempted to tug him in opposite directions, had ‘rinally decided to dump the whole problem upon | | Congress. Five hundred widely roving minds will |now attempt to answer questions which have baffled | :lhe Administration. ‘ | (Anchorage Times.) Front page advices in the Times today from | | Washington to the effect 200 families will arrive in the Matanuska Valley to settle on farms in 'May is headline news to cause every resident of | Matanuska and Anchorage to bestir himself for a season of great activity. | The fact Uncle Sam is sponsoring this coloniza- tion scheme is giving Alaska nationwide advertising | and is bringing Matanuska and Anchorage into |the_spotlight in every quarter of the continent. Delegate Dimond, Col. O. F. Ohlson, Don Ewin| land A. A. Shonbeck—well known Alaskans—are in | ‘Wafihlngwn helping the Administrauion make plans.| | The seletcion of families soon will be made. Then will ccme the task of assembling them, bringing |them north by steamship and over the Alaska Railroad, and getting them quartered at Matanuska. All this entails a lot of detail arrangement. Anchorage is sure to be the chief beneficiary among | Alaskan towns of this big project.

The inauguration of this service will not only expedite travel, mail, interchange of business be- tween the larger towns and cities, but will encourage trunk or feeder lines to reach out into the smaller settlements, and through relatively much cheaper transportation the prospector will be enabled to get| into areas that heretofore have been too remote to attempt on foot. Again by bringing all of Alaska closer to the oontinental United States, through these air routes, it is most certain that the Federal Government as well as private outside enterprise will con: & much closer neighbor, and find it more to visit, to study and to understand than possible in the past. Grace for NRA. (New York Times.) President Roosevelt proposed recently that the life of NRA be prolonged until 1937. But he fallad to submit the “Administration bill” of his own which has almost invariably accompanied his major recom- mendations. It is understood that he has left ‘he measure which is now Leing drafted to NIRB and it advisprs. Thus he has put Congress in the un- accustomed position of having to decide largely for #self what it thinks of an important question. Four months ago, looking forward to the day when he would address Congress on this very sub- Ject, the President raised certain challenging doubts about the wisdom of continuing NRA in its present form. This was on the occasion of his last “fire- side talk” to the country. He suggested then that the existing codes may “have gone too far in such matters as price-fixing and limitation of produc- tion.” He asked whether “many of those devices” which were used to prevent “destructive” competi- tion have actually been helpful, or whether their effect has not been “to prevent that volume of production which would make possible lower prices and increased employment.” dom of extending “to the great number of small employers in the smaller communities” code require- ments which were devised originally for industrial centers. He esked “whether, in fixing minimum wages on the basis of an hourly or weekly wage, we have reached into the heart of the problem, which is to provide such apnual earnings for the| lowest paid worker as will meet his minimum needs.” These were searching que:’. fons. They cut ¢lin He questioned the wis- | of the valley will find this town their most im- mediate market and supply base. It means a lot to every line of business in this city. Every Anchorage organization and individual will be much in order in now laying plans to cooperate with the Government and the settlers and doing everything possible to make this big sAgn.fl‘ enterprise a success, | TY success of the project will spell further| expansion and Government aid in the area. There are sure to be cbstacles encountcred, prcblems to| sol! But they cannct be evaded—and with reso-| luticn and an unconquerable spirit a solution is certain. Timidily never scored a triumph. Success this entecprise will mean multiplied prosperily to this arca. Now is the time to go in and win. Prolong Your Own Life. (Cordova Times.) One of the most significant trends in advancing, | I human -life - is the stress that is iodical health examinations. There or piolonging being l1aid cn p are many dice that they exist. People think they are well and for| that reasen ignore the sound advice of leading physicians that they allow themselves to be exam- ined regularly by thoroughly trained and scientific men. There are many diseases that begin msxdwusly. without throwing pain into the body to warn victim. They can be detected by a competent[ examination and arrested at inception, but if a to develop unmolested, invariably kill. Readers of the Times have seen this idea be- | l‘ule in our columns. They will see it again. In the meantime, there is no sense in reading our warning unless you act upon it. That means, be| examined at once. | ‘When the Dionne quintupiets reach the bridge | age, one of them certainly is going to get a break. | | —(Louisville Times.) | Brazil wants to trade coffee for battleships.

McNary of Oregon, was reported out the Committee on Foreign Rela tions, and passed the Senate by unanimous vote. This bill is nea: ly identical with H. R. 160, intro- duced by the Delegate in the House, requesting the President to negotiate with the Government of the Dominion of Canada for the ‘survey and construction of the { highway to connect the Pacific northwestern part of the United . States with British Columbia and « | Yukon ' Territory to Canada, and lthe Territory of Alaska.

The thickness of the ice on the | Chena River in front of Fairbanks averaged 57 inches. This is the thickest the ice has been at Fair- banks since measufements were started there in the winter of 1929- 30. The previous greatest thickness during that period was 565 inches on March 13, 1933. The ice on the Snake River af’ Nome averaged 485 inches.
