The statemeii wisen the Alaska Juneau Gold Mini Company submitted to the Alaska Mine Worker Union, following last Thursday's veting, and printed as a public advertisement in Saturday's| Empire, has received much favorable comment from many who consider it a clear cut, equitable offer to former employees to go back to work Each day that passes without resumption of work contributes to the burdens of economic distress which | the workers have been enduring. With fairness to the interests of all concernedy the city-sponsored vote showed that a majority de- sired to go back to work. The recent settlement! of strikes in the automotive industry, and many' other labor controversies have been settled on the | basis of a majority vote of the workers. The leaders of the Alaske Mine Workers' who called the strike have had the time, patience | and neutrality of the community as a whole m‘ Union | 1to ership will be greatly missed by her wide cnrcle‘ of friends in the city | Juneau folk bid them God-speed and good luck | as they take ship tomorrow for their new home at| Fairbanks. | Protection for Pulp Industry. (Tacoma Ledger.) Tully alive to the danger that menaces an infant| but steadily growing industry through the com- mercial treaty sought to be made between the United | States and Sweden in placing upon the free list| pulp and pulp wood, there has been lodged with | the Senators and Representatives of Pacific Coast | States a vigorous protest and a demand that the | wood pulp industry shall be given reasonable pro- tection | This protest comes from three sources, the Pa-| cific Coast Pum and Paper Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation, the Pacilic Northwest Paper Mill Em-| v“l“‘“" Association and the American Federation of Labor. That the protest is not confined to one | class but is representative of the views of employ»‘ ers and employees alike would seem to be so im- pressive that even Secretary of State Hull could not ignore it. | The message sent to the Senators and Repre-| sentatives well puts the case for the pulp manu- facturers and mill workers when it says: We are informed that the State Depart- ment has given scarcity of pulp wood in the | United States a reason for the duty re- striction clauses. This is not in accordance with facts as there is a perpetual supply of pulp wood in the States of Oregon and | Washington alone sufficient to produce a quantity of pulp in excess of combined im- ports from all foreign coutnries. While the production of pulp as well as the manufacture of paper is a development of but a| comparatively few years, already the production of | pulp in the Pacific Northwest is sufficient to give| the railroads in freight charges to points m' the central regions appreximately a million ana| a half dollars yearly, with shipments by water to the East Coast amount to approximately the same amount. In addition to this it has been found possible to send to foreign ports a considerable portion of the output. There is pending in Congress a bill offered by Representative Samuel B. Hill of Washington, pro- vndmg for a revenue tax on chemical pulp and Pacific Coast Senators and Representatives are asked to work for the passage of such a measure. Naturally such a bill would not completely soive the problem unless it was expressly provided that such a tax should be confined to importation,| something directly opposed to the theories of the| Secretary of State. Tariff laws were enacted for the protection o. American industries, more particularly those prac- which to obtain their objective, a Federal mediator | is here at their request. er procrastination will only contribute to hardship and suffering of | the workers and the entire ~ommunity. The company has made its position clear. It is time that a meeting of minds occurred so thl‘ workers may again return to their jobs, and pay-| rolls be resumed | MINING ASSESSMENT HOLDS. | Another stumbling block in the way of mining developthiént in Alaska was removed by Congress when the reauest not it recognized of the Territorial lature and did iuclude the Territory in islation suspending mining claim assessments another year For the last several years suspension of the $100 assessment has been granted with the result that| great numbers of claims have been held by the locators without a cent’s work being done on them. The action was a depression measure based on the grounds that due to bad economic conditions claim holders were not in position to do the work or have| " it done, and perhaps it was advisable at the time. However, the result has been, in the last legislative session, that mining develop- ment has been stifled. A large number of good| prospects have been held which would be developed by others if the original holders could not carry on the work. Areas which might be developed into paying properties were eliminated from any chance of production. It is sound argument that if the person or con- cern which files on a mining claim is not able or as was pointed out . willing to do something about its development that others should be given the opportunity. Work amounting to $100 a year is not a great deal and if the claim holder is not in position to do that much it is only logical that he should relinquish the right of possession. Suspension of as: ssment worked out much as " does the patent claim situation which some day must be remedied if mining is to have its fair inning in the Territory. There are hundreds of claims now held under patent which cannot be touched. Most of them were taken up years ago by corporations and individuals who developed them sufficiently to| gain patent and then forgot about them. In many | cases the corporations or companies have passed out of existence, individuals connected with them *have died or cannot be located. The claims lie dor- mant but protected by patent from others attempt- ing their development. A real property tax has been suggested as a possible solution but such an idea failed to get much consideration from the last legislative session. It was pointed out that if a small tax was placed on these idle claims held under patent the owners would either have to pay cr the property would revert to public ownership thus making them avail- able to be re-staked and developed. It is probable that some such a plan will eventually have to be made to produce. In the meantime Alaskans are pleased with the action of Congress which leaves the mine claim assessment law in effect for they know development work is the only thing that will r-ake producing property. GOOD LUCK, M’KANNAS. In the transfer to Fairbanks of R. J. McKanna, Alaska Steamship Company agent here for the last three years, Juneau loses one of her outstanding public spirited and popular citizens. Commander of the American Legion Post, active in the Chamber of Commerce and other civic affairs, Mr. McKanna's leaving will be a severe loss to the community which wishes him well in his new post in the Interior Equally interested in and “an ardent worker for Juneau organizations was Mrs. McKanna who goes with her hushand to his new post in the North, and her place in the community will be a hard one to 1ill. President of the Legion Auxiliary and ever ready with a helping hand, Mrs. McKanna's lead- tically in their infancy. If there is in tariffs it must be obvious that they shall furnish protection to industries not yet prepared to com- pete with long established foreign interests, es- pecially those having the advantage of low wages land favorable transportation conditions. | And Smile When You Say It. (Kansas City Star.) | According to the Rengo News Agency, the Chin- lese authorities have been officially warned that the | Japanese army, which recently seized Manchuria and Jehol, would be compelled to invade their terri- tory further if “anti-Japanese sentiment” was not quieted in Northern China. In other words, if the| report from this Japanese source is accurate, the| ;Chmeae are not only expected to stand by, while their territory is conquered, but to like it | Not quite three years ago the Japanese navy| {bombarded the native district of Shanghai, it was explained at the time, because the local Chinese authorities had failed to halt a boycott of Japanese goods. Now, apparently, any expression of anti- Japanese sentiment on Chinese territory will invite reprisals by force. The next development probably |wm be a demand that the Chinese give Lhree‘ |cheers every time a Province is taken from them.| These may be new rules in the conduct of inter-| ’mmonal relations but, unfortunately for China, the| Japanese are in a position to make the rules in| any Asiatic game. | An Air Locarno. (Cincinnati Engquirer.) Now that the first fright over Germany's re-| armament plans has disappeared, it is becoming plain that the creation of a large army in the Reich is not in itself a threat of aggression and an imminent danger to the former Allies. Neither is the German plan to build a modern navy one- third the size of the British fleet. To be sure, | France does not welcome the new German army ol[ 300,000 to 500,000 men. Nor does Britain fancy a naval competitor on the Continent, as in the pre- war days. But neither of these moves needs to be anything more than the buttress for a defensive policy. | The greater danger, from the standpoint of pos- ‘s\ble aggression, is in the air. This is true, not Imerely because fighting planes are more conspicu- |ously weapons of attack, but because the captials of ‘Franct-, England, and Italy are peculiarly vulner- ]Bble while Berlin is—by compaiison—almost im- |mune to air attack, due to the greater distance from |any frontier. So it is that General Hermann Goering's boastful prophecies of a vast air armada | have become the greatest concern of all the former | Allied Powers. | In response to this' growing concern in Paris and London, the Hitler Government has renewed its offer to negotiate an “air Locarno”—a pact of non- aggression and mutual aid fashioned in the pat- tern of the Locarno agreements of 1926, but applying | to aerial attack and defense. Germany has gone | so far as to prepare a draft for such a multilateral treaty, and its terms appear to be wholly roasoh»‘ able. It applies the principles of Locarno, and also specifies parity in the air for France, Great Britain, and Germany, with a smaller quota for Belgium. Germany has left it for the British to suggest the actual limit of air strength for the| three Powers | One very important concession should be noted | {In this regard. The Berlin Government has aban-| doned its claim to the right to build planes equally | with Russia, and has not put an “escalator clause"; into the draft treaty. Thus there is no loophole | !by which the Reich could augment its air forces |beyond the specified maximum, even though the Soviets outbuild the Powers of Western and Central gEurupe, On the whole, the proposal is a sound one, | and the evident disposition of the British Govern- | ment under the de facto leaderchip of Stanley | Baldwin is to accept the German proposals. If this is carried without resistance from the French or Italians, a considerable step will have been taken to insure the peace. | A medical publicist spreads the word that seven- year itch need no longer last seven years.
