(Seattle Posi-Intelligencer.) Request of the Interior Department for funds to pare emergency landing fields in fifty-three vil- | lages and mining camps in Alaska should be granted promptly by the Public Works Administration The fields would be valuable not only as part of the air defenses of the Northern Territory, but| also they would have their peace time uses. More and more the prospectors, business men and mining operators of Alaska are utilizing air transportation In getting to the creeks and in traveling from town to town. Often planes are compelled to land upon beaches and sandbars and in small clearings with considerable risk. Alaska is a storehouse of natural wealth, much of which would be of military value. Unguarded, it is a constant temptation to any militaristic and aggressive nation. Proper protection of the Northland would be an important contribution to world peace.

The diamond in the words of one authority, is “the hardest, the most imperishable and also the most brilliant of minerals” It is among the rarest, and it also| comes close to, being one of the most useless. For those qualities it has been regarded through the ages with admiration, fear and awe—very much as hard, durable, brilliant and useless individuals have com-| monly been regarded by their fellow men. Again| rather like such persons, the diamond has caused hu ly more trouble than it has been worth on any rational scale of values, and is there- fore an object of intense fascination. But’when to these attributes of all diamonds a stone adds that of supreme bigness, it becomes active news; half a hundred reporters and photographers flock to its unveiling, and it is “worth” somewhat more than $750,000 simply and merely for being itself. The Jonker diamond is by no means the largest ever found. Uncut, it weighs only half again as much as the largest of the nine large stones mw which the great Cullinan was divided. Even so, is large enough; and it is already so valuable as| to approach the valueless. It is so costly that it| must be rather hard finding any one to buy it; it is so precious that no one except a lunatic would think of stealing it. It is wealth compacted into a form in which it can exist only as wealth. It is like certain non-caliable bonds, which may be sold by one owner to another, but which will never be repaid. It is in a sense ultimately uncashable; and if the last man in the world should find it in his| possession he would be obliged to cast it, and what- ever he might have paid to acquire it, sea as of no worth to him. Since humanity would have gone, all the human values locked in its cold and brillilant deptns would be lost with it, and its last owner would be its ultimate dupe. Diamonds are like that. hold over the di (New 1 criticism by cial has be he Union sympathizers n dealing with men that Mr. od The solemn unwrapping mine Union fact is ] ups and has presen fully The ne M Workers Associa the ms has a ared to go to work.
