GER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLIC — GRASS GROWING IN STREE' Business is getting better by leaps and bounds in the States is the good news brought back to Juneau by Jack Simpson, Traffic Manager for the Farthest North Gray Line, who is looking forward to the best season in the history of Alaska. He reports that in San Francisco his company enjoyed the biggest win- ter in the more business booked for the summer than we can ex- pect to handle.” Similar encouraging reports have to the North and they are backed up by the reports of vari- ous outstanding concerns in the States. Thomas J. Watson, president of International Business Machines Corp.. stated at the annual stock- holders meeting of his company April 9, according to the Associated Press: “The company’s business in the first two months of 19: as ahead of any like period in its history. Gerald Swope, president received by the General Electric Company in the first quarter of this year were larger by 21 per eent than during the first quarter of 1935." Farm income for January and February 4 “history of our come announced that “orders 1936, estimated by the National City Bank at $1,027,000,000. “of which only $1,000,000 was contributed by AAA which compares with $974,000,000 farm income in the same two months of 1935, including $122,000.000 from the AAA." The Division of Foreign Crops and Markets re- ported on April 5 that during the first eight months ot the current fisc: to February 29, 1936, the export of U. S, Farm products ased 17 per cent over the corresponding period of last year. Northwestern National Life Insurance Company, of Minneapolis, reported “increase of 28 per cent dur- ing first quarter over first quarter of 1935 and 12 per cent over first quarter of 1929.” Clarence M. Wooley, chairman of the board of American Radiator & Standard Sanitary Corporation reported sales in the first three months of 1936 were 330 per cent larger than in corresponding period last year. Harlow H. Curtice, president of Buick Motor Com- pany, reported March retail deliveries “more than double the sales for February and a gain of 130 per cent over March, 1935.” F. H. Brownell, chairman of American Smelting & Refining, reported net earnings of that corporation in January and February were “at the rate of $4.96 per share annually, as compared with $1.06 per share annually in January and February, 1935" These are just a few. There are scores of reports of similar nature from throughout the natien. Was it Mr. Hoover who predicted that grass would be growing in the streets of every city in the land if Mr. Roosevelt was elected? is al year, or incl other ADEQUATE DEFENSE With Mussolini’s forces in the capital of Ethiopia and Emperor Haile Selassie running to personal safety in Palestine and eventually to Switzerland where he proposes to live in exile, it begins to appear that Great Britain's troubles in North Africa are just starting. Editor and Manager | business and already have |1t is very posstble that Britain is simply putting off | the day she must make a stand in Africa or give way to Italian domination. By conquest of Ethiopia, Italy now has connec- tion between Eritrea the Red Sea and Italian Somaliland on the Indian Ocean, cutting off entirely British Somaliland from Anglo-Egyptian Sudan where on .| lies England’s fertile valley of the Nile. Under Ethio- pian rule Britain had ready access through Ethiopia if desired but with Ttalian domination the United authorities and observers on the Continent indicate clearly that British trouble is just | the beginning, but in explaining the action, or lack of it, they make clear that the reason Britain was not more stubborn in the Italo-Ethiopian trouble was the attitude of the folks at home. The English people like those of our own country are decidedly opposed to | war for gain or conquest. They would fight for liberty !or principle as soon as any of'us, but ravages of the last war are too fresh in their minds to want to fight over a piece of land a long ways from home. | But as Italy makes progress and expands into | North Africa, British attitude probably will undergo |a marked change. As the disaster of the last struggle | fades further into history, the war urge will be | whipped up and another conflict of nations is seen by jmmz observers as inevitable. Bearing that in mind, |we in America can do well to take warning and guard our own peace by building adequate defense for our liberty and principles. Throwing away the rifle will not assure peace. But building up a cracking good army, navy and air force that the world respects will |tend toward assuring our own safety Reports from There shouldn’t be any duubt In the mind of Col. Breckinridge now as to who will get the Democratic nomination at Philadelphia. He apparently was the last one left to convince. The world does change. It's a long Grandmother’s day to a Y.W.C.A. which birth control. ump from endorses Building Up the Navy (Rochester Times-Union) We have no quarrel wih Great Britain, can never have. Our world interests lie together. War be- tween the two countries simply is not possible. Ac- tually every additional ship built for the British navy | is a potential reinforcement for just as every new American ship may sooner or later help Britain. Morally, in tradition, in government, in thought, we are allies, It is highly probable, as the Times-Union has pointed out several times in the last few years, that we must soon replace some of our over-age battleships. Like any other piece of machinery, ships do not last forever. Just a few months ago the great Cunarder, Mauretania, only some twenty-five years old, was brok- en up as obsolete But to base a naval building program on the size of the British fleet, or upon the British program is sheer, unadulterated nonsense. Slipping Along At 3 to 2. (Oregon Journal) The American Liberty League and associates are again asserting that Mr. Roosevelt is “slipping.” In the Republican stronghold of California Democrats are leading the Republicans in the state-wide regis- 2 tration of voters 3 to 2. That poll shows that the Roosevelt policy of placing men, women and children first and mammon last has been gratifying and sat- isfactifying to millions. And the more the special privilege and easy money elemtnt assail him and the New Deal the more votes they make for him. These detractors overlook the fact that the American peo- ple have hearts and souls and good will for fellow~ beings. The hitchhiker who was always able to get & ride by displaying a sign, “If you don’t pick me up I'll vote for Hoover,” is now walking most of the time.—(New York Sun.) It must be a restful change for the President, at that, to look tranquilly upon the ocean and observe the one big roll that nobody wants him to tax.—(Bos- ton Herald.) If we ever learn to coordinate the dust storms with high water this will be a great country yet.—(Detroit News.) Duranty says a statesman is sure of being right if he goes against the crowd. He is also sure of being left—(Akron Beacon-Journal.) Flood control may not remain a purely acadgmic subject for discussion much longer.—(Boston Globe.)

Astrologers read this as a rather unimportant day in planetary di- rection. There is a sign most prom- ising to trade and forecasting much high-pressure manuf acturing to meet foreign demands. Mars is in a place of ill omen that seems to presage more world s. While there may be many es in foreign affairs they will all be but straws that show how the wind of war is blowing clouds of disaster, the seers warn. The position of Pluto is read as indicative of more trouble in jails, asylums and other institutions.
