ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF AMY OTHER PUBLICATION DEVELOPING ALASKA TIN. Delegate Dimond is urging Congress to make an additional appropriation of $25,000 to finance tin sur- veys in the Territory, especially around Tin City, Hot Springs, Ruby and Fort Yukon where tin deposits | have been found. i It is a request that, if granted, would mean a great deal to Alaska and the entire country. Congrcssmnn‘ Scrugham of Nevada, in a recent report to the House, Appropriations committee, pointed out that of all| possible metal shortage in the United States, the| lack of tin is the most acute, the domestic hllm)}}l being virtually nil. Why not then make use of the deposits known to be in Alaska? | Representative Scrugham went so far as to urge| | It can not be said to be of earth-shaking importance. ever get back into the state of California where he says his interests are and where they have been most of his life. It evidently is not all beer and skittles for Cali- fornia with her sunshine and movies. Far away from | the hubbub of population and state quarrels, we in | Alaska can smile a bit at what some of those on the | “Outside’ chose to term our isolation A Naval Agreement. (New York Times) | Events have thrown the Naval Conference at London so much into the shadow that people might be excused for thinking it had ceased to sit. Yesterday. however, came the announcement of what is called the “first major agreement” reached by the conference. It merely provides that at the beginning of each year the United States, Great Britain, France and Italy shall each disclose to the others its plans of naval | construction for the ensuing twelvemonth. The pur- pose is, so it is explained, to avoid anything like a | ;udden .spurt in a competitive building race. This is | worthy end, but one wonders if superfluous machin- | 'y has not been devised to attain it. By means of information from their naval attaches, and other ources of “intelligence,” the strong probability is that } cvery Government concerned knows exactly what ships the others are planning to begin, or work upon, or finish during the next year. In the United States, for example, such projects are disclosed either in ac of Congress or in statements by the general nav beard and are no secret at all. From the beginning, little was hoped of the London Naval Conference in the way of disarmament. or even of agreements regarding fleet-ratios. After the Japanese delegates had walked out of the confer- ence because they could not have their way. efforts were visibly made to prevent its emtire collapse. This appears to have been one reason why it has continued to meet week after week and also why it was anx: to produce something that might look like a crown of its labors. The solemn agreement to teil what is already known, or can easily be ascertained, car. hardly be reckoned a full justification for the time and money spent on this London conference, hut it is something to have found out definitely what cannot be done. If the delegates have not given a positive guide to the Governments which they represent, they have at jeast given a negative guide. ou Is Fafnir Loose Again?

There can, nevertheless, be no doubt that Holland a domestic supply if possible. Alaska offers more than a possibility.

There is encouragement in the report brought back from Washington by Ike P. Taylor, Chief Engineer of | the Alaska Road Commission, that the proposed $2.- 900,000 airways program ‘Tor Alaska Has the full support | of the Interdepartmental Committee which includes| departments dealing with the Territory, Agriculture, Interior, Navy, Army, Commerce, and Postoffice. While the plan so far has_been turned down by the Works Progress Administration, emergency funds for the un-| dertaking could be made available, Mr. Taylor reports, and the support of the Interdepartmental Committee could result in favorable action. | Whether the vast air field program comes this | year or next, it is fairly sure of ultimate consummation. | faithfully devoted, and summoned the slumbering |35: rain, .66 inches. Nothing can keep air progress back in the north where | it is so costly to build roads and distances are great. | With population and statehood, the roads will follow, | but in the meantime 1sportation must serve | the widely separated communities in the Territory. It | is the major means of travel at the present time. How | much better the facilities for Alaska development | would be if the government saw fit to build 143 termi- | nals, emergency and intermediate fields and 23 floats as the airways program calls for. air THE ADVANTAGE OF LATION. ‘There are apparent advantages in isolation. Cali- fornia which boasts of a great many fine mtrncuons.‘ among them copious quantities of sunshine, finds now | that there are drawbacks even to nature’s gift. The/| Golden Bear state, especially the southern part with its mild climate, draws thousands of solvent visitors | during the warm winter but also it draws the penni- | less. It is the latter that now seems to be causing the | state plenty of grief. | Los Angeles, true to the old native son tradition, | put its police on the Arizona, Nevada and Oregon borders to turn back those termed “hoboes and unde- | sirables.” It is reported that thousands of these vagrants | have been turned back and the howl that is going up from the neighboring states can be heard through- out the country The general accepted definition of vagrant is a| person without visible means of support who wanders from place to place, begging or living without labor. Ever since 1873 the various states have been passing laws against vagrancy with more or less success. To a | certain type of these vagrants—the hobo— some credit an important role in American history. In the ea:l)“ years of the trek westward he worked on the raflroad, prospected, cleared land. He became a harvest work- | er, following the crops and the congenial climates.| An FERA report reveals, that most transients are un-| attached, native born and white. The majority are| men under 35. About 11 per cent are women and less than one percent are under 16. The migration motive in most instances is said to be search for work. Pushing these homeless and penniless wanderers | back over the state line, naturally doesn’t appeal to California’s border states. The latest story that is being given wide publicity in Oregon and Washington gives an insight of what California is up against in at-| tempting to put up a barrier. A man, who claims to have property in Hollywood, is reported seeking redress. He says that he was going from Olympia. | ‘Wash., to Hollywood via bus. At Hornbrook, Cal., just across the Oregon state line, he went into a restaurant to eat and on coming out, charges he was lined up with a group of other men and hied back across the | Oregon state line with orders to keep going. The ac- cuser claims he was roughly handled, his licenses for two automobiles torn up and his ticket which he had purchased to Hollywood thrown away.

It looks as though the | giant has now taken on his own form again. The revived ‘army stretches itself, like an awakened giant, | looks over the heads of Germany’s little tin-clad Seig- | frieds and sizes up its job according to its own primor- dial standards. A general staff’s first business is to | plot—not only on paper, but on the German terrain— | every job that it might possibly have to do. “If,” says the staff, sleepily picking up dropped threads, “we had | gone through Holland instead of Belgium in 1914, ‘} | things might have been different.” “But we're not going through Holland or Belgium either—ever again,” pro- tests Hitler and all the Nazi strategists. “Hush, kind ern,” growls the awakening Fafnir, tolerant but omi- nously tolerant, “how do you know where you're going?” Our surmise is that something like this colloquy has been overheard in Holland and Great Britain.

(Springfield Republican) Mr. Wadsworth’s identification with the most con- servative elements of his party is so complete—Mr. Hoover, if memory serves, was too progressive for him | at the Kansas City convention in 1928—that it may | be questioned whether other Republicans whose sup- | port will be essential to success this year would stand for him. Not a great deal is ordinarily said, it is true, about either Vice Presidential nominee. But if Mr. | Wadsworth " were chosen by the Republicans, one imagines that more than usual attention would be paid to him in the campaign by the Democrats. Stressing such items in his record as his stubborn and unyield- ing opposition to woman suffrage, they might claim | that he more than Mr. Landon, for example, repre- | sented the spirit of his party. | Last word in debate among the political higher- | ups: “Deon’t call me a Socialist, you Socialisi. —Buffa- lo Courier-Express.
