PUBLIC CO-OPERATION Out at Auk Beach Village, the Forest Service has erected attractive log structures for the use of public as a recreation center. The main building was completed recently and a slate floor put Hardly had it been laid when some thoughtless per- son or persons built a fire on it with the result that considerable damage was caused and some of work will have to be done over. Other careless acts have been committed at the beach, such as breaking glass by using bottles for targets and so on. It is hard to believe that any one would do such things deliberately. More likely it is the result of not thinking. the Why is it not possible for people enjoying such ' resorts to co-operate with public authorities in keep- ing them in good shape? A fireplace is about to be started in the central | log structure and Forest Service authorities are dubious of starting. They wonder whether it will | be necessary to put a watchman at the building, at, least long enough for the fireplace to dry and to prevent those using the beach from starting fire in it. It should not be necessary tions. Why not do a little thinking when out en- Jjoying nature? It isn't much of an etfort and it would prevent such foolish stunts as starting a llrej on a newly constructed slate floor, the Service is about to build. “These buildings are being erected for the use of the public and we ask co-operation of the public in keeping them in good shape,” said Wellman Hol- brook, Assistant Regional Forester. Why not lend a little co-operation? The Forest Service is giving the residents of this community a nice recreation spot at Auk Village Beach. Let's give it a hand in keeping the site nice. WHAT A BANKER THINKS The role the present Administration has played in restoring banking to a sound basis is often over- looked in view of the more immediate policies that; have attracted however, bank failures that swept the country just betore President Roosevelt was inaugurated, and they appre- ciate drastic though life-saving action taken at that time. of the Bank of America and a director of the Na- | tional City Bank of New York, reviewing brietly the ' situation in the last three years made this interest- ing comment: We have about us today abundant evi- dence that banks and their clients are en- joying the vast benefits that {low from the principles and policies represented in bank- ing legislation and administration of the past three years Today the attention. Bankers and tinanciers, depositor in any bank is safer than he has been in all our banking his- tory. When the banking system was put to the test at the height of the depression, it was found that confidence had vanished. After many months of persistent efforts to nllav the fears of depositors and patrons, deposits shrunk by billions. Banks in unprecedented numbers were forced to close, Depositors and stockholders too, by the hundreds of thou- sands, know only too well that there was real basis for the fears that brought this condi- tion about. The securities in which bank funds were invested were being constantly dumped on a falling market to provide funds demanded by depositors. President Roosevelt immediately grasped the situation and under his leadership vital steps were taken to restore confidence, make banking operations safer and give absolute assurance to depositors. It is misleading, it not foolish, to charge that this program was based on a desire to put the government into the banking business, Private funds were not available. Government investment of a billion dollars in more than 6,000 banks throughout the country was a safe investment that will ultimately be repaid in full And no sound reason can be assigned why the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation cannot become, if indeed it has not alrgady, a great stabilizing influence in the banking world as well as an adequate insurer against all loss to depositors. Deposlits are right now at the highest point in the entire history of the national banking system: only five na- tional banks have closed in the 2 1-3 years since deposit insurance was inaugurated and no national bank has closed so far in 1936 ANOTHER BOOST T() THE AIR PROGRAM Action of the Northwest Aviation Planning Coun- cil in supporting the request for $2,.900,000 to construct and develop airports in Alaska forecasts again that the day of an extensive airway net over the Territory is not so far distant. The Planning Council, meeting in Spokane, brought out that a chain of air fields through the Aleutians is imperative to a direct air route' to the ~ Orient and urged that Congress grant the request the ! in. ! to take such pre(‘au-' or in the fireplace | A. P. Giannini, Chairman of the Bom'd‘ for air development in the north so that the link could be made. It is not alone in the Aleutians that airports and fields are neécéssary for the success of an air route to the Orient. It is just as necessary to have good ports at our major points both in the Southeast and the Interior. And these will come if enough concerted effort such as that displayed at Spokane is put back of the program. Well, well. That is news. Mr. Hoover has let it be known he will attend the Cleveland convention. As if there was any way to keep him away. Two big blisters, sun-burned neck, skinned hands, ashes in the coffee, two broken leaders, no fish. But oh boy, what a dandy holiday. It is to be assumed, of course, that Mr. Zioncheck doesn’t want to move. The Franco-American Treaty (New York Times) The new trade treaty between France and the United States is in several ways the most important trade agreement negotiated by Secretary Hull—a fine vindication of the reciprocal tariff policy of the Roosevelt Administration. It will not atfect so large a volume of trade as the treaty concluded with Canada last November. But is the first treaty with a major Power which exercises strict control of im- ports through a quota system; it is the first compre- hensive trade agreement made with France by the i United States in more than a century, and it promises to put an end to discriminations which have caused s0 much misunderstanding and ill will that at one time there was talk in both countries of reprisals and an open tariff war In order to understand the bargain Mr. Hull 1has struck, it is necessary to recognize that France ;and the United States have pursued radically differ- | ent commercial policies in recent years. On the whole, | French tariffs have been moderate, and many of our best exports—cotton, tobacco and copper, for example ~—have actually been admitted duty free, for the | benefit of French industry. On the other hand, {France has imposed rigid quantitative restrictions, or “quotas,” on the amount of goods imported from other countries. Our own policy has been just the (reverse of this in all respects. We have imposed no ‘quotas on goods imported from France. But we have admitted very few of her goods duty free, and our rates on many of her best exports—“luxury” goods—have been extremely high. The essence of the new trade agreement is that both countries make concessions at those points where they have most to concede. The United States re- |duces its high tariff rates on items representing jabout one-third of its total imports from France last !year, and among the important “luxury”’ goods af- fected by this action are lace, broadsilks, cigarette ! paper, champagne, still wines and brand: France lin turn, reduces some of her own aiready moderate | tariff duties; but her most important concession con- sists of granting larger quotas to such American ex- ports as automobiles, agricultural machinery, radios, electrical refrigerators and certain fruits. The mu- tual concessions thus arrived at are to remain in after until six months’ notice has been given by either lcountry. Here certain “escape clauses” are provided: ated in case devaluation of the franc should adversely jaffect the commerce of either country. But it is inevitable that such safeguards should be set up in | times as unsettled as the present, and it is reasonable ‘m believe that the new treaty can be altered, essary, without sacrificing all its gains. No doubt many American producers will that the treaty exposes them disadvantageously to | French competition. It cannot be denied that if American consumers are given an opportunity | purchase French laces or French wines at lower prices, I mestic products. But the whole argument for foreign trade rests on the theory that all nations inevitably |gain in the long run if those countries which possess some special skill or some natural advantage in the iprndurtion of certain goods are permitted to ex- Save ok itk thoas: hestih I'Ichnngo these goods in the world's markets for other rgotten thos : ays of | {goods which they cannot produce as well or as con- veniently or as cheaply.

A mass meeting to discuss plans for a fitting observance of the Fourth of July was called by Mayor 3. D. Stewart for the following Mon- day. At the meeting it would be decided what line of celebration to follow and how elaborate the pro- gram would be. Funds and com- mittees also were to be discussed. The cause of the fire which de- stroyed the cannery at Metlakatla was not fully deterniined although diarism, according to W. G. Beat+ tie, superintendent of schools who had just returned from there. The fire started on the inside and on the side of the building from which the wind was blowing.
