It would in the Fairbanks region. Naturally, men are interested in a road way assure them a dependable route for movement of equipment through friendly territory, and link them definitely with bases in the States. Many of the major roads of the west were built many years ago as military roads for the movement of troops. It is not at all impossible that Alaska's first road connection through Canada might be es- tablished as a semi if not full military route. FAITH REVIVED A great many fine phrases came out of the two political conventions but also there came some con- crete facts which may have become overlooked in the flow of potent adjectives. It was Senator Bark- ley, who touched on some of them in his analysis of the business record under President Roosevelt. Not wishing to tire the impatient delegates, whose main purpose was to renominate Mr. Roosevelt, the Senator was brief, but his words carried an encour- aging message to the American people. He pointed out that farm prices have increased 50 per cent in the last three years; farm income has gained 53 per cent; factory payroll purchasing power, 50 per cent; factory employment, 33 per cent; industrial ings, 35 per cent; stock market prices, 40 per cent; bank deposits, 33 per cent; railroad traffic, 16 per cent; automobile production, 30 per cent; construc- tion permits, 50 per cent; industrial production, 50 per cent; national bank earnings, 100 per cent; de- cline in commercial failures, 66 per cent; increase in national income, 50 per cent and new securities is- sued, 50 per cent. Those figures do not indicate that the present Administration is laying the hampering hand of government on the innocent heads of business and finance as charged at the Republican convention in Cleveland. Rather, as Mr. Barkley pointed out, benefits have been bestowed upon all groups with as even a hand as government can assure. “The important point is not merely that farm prices have increased, but that Aimerican agriculture has been rescued from impending ruin,” he said. “It is merely that the condition of labor has been improved by the reduction of the number of unem- ployed from fifteen millions to ten millions of work- ers but that labor has been dragged back from the brink of peonage and that with one-fourth of our population destitute, their health, comfort and self- respect have been maintained, and there has been no sedition, riot or bloodshed during the worst human catastrophe in our history. It is not merely that banking and industry have been saved from bank- earn- ruptey, but that faith in banking and industry have been revived.” 1t begins to look as if the Washingtonians bought Pilot Russell Owen a boat ride and not an airplane trip. There seems to be revived interest in the sign business in Juneau recently. Germany wants to exchange bullets for beans, and the fear in E\uin is that she will deliver the discussing economy. ~Ne\\ York Sun. six months, in advance, $6.00; — | unlikely.

While Republieans and Democrats are disputing about the electoral effect of the Third Party, the Socialists are in no.doubt what it may mean for them. | Mr. Norman Thomas, even before he was chosen again | |as the Socialist candidate for the Presidency, ex- pressed a certain apprehension of a Farmer-Labor | party organized in several States. Now that it has virtually come about, he assails it on the ground that it is trying to mislead the people by promising thcm; impossibilities. The retort might well be that the Socialists also are advertising a pretty long line of impossibilities of their own. If the Third Party pro-\ ceeds vigorously to contest the Presidential election, it can hardly fail to draw votes to itself that would otherwise have gone to the Socialist ticket. Thus, among all the vague fears of what the new party may do, those of Mr. founded. You Never Can Tell (Cincinnati Enquirer) It was a bad night for the sports writers. They have been busy ever since explaining that they never | really said Louis was better. Probably the Louis Schmeling fight was the most complete upset in American prize fighting. The German brought to his job an unusual capacity for taking punishment, and a right that resembled a pile driver. Furthermore, he did not seem to share the pessimism that all the “experts” harbored with respect to his chances. Although a veteran of the fistic wars, Schmeling ) is only 30. His comeback is none the less remarkable, however, because comebacks are not so common in prize fighting. A mere upset would not have startled anyone so greatly if it had meant merely a close vic- tory. But this fight was not even close. The Brown Bomber, to use the skillful slang of the sports page, was beaten early in the fight, just as though Schmeling had never read a German translation of the blunt fact that Louis was unbeatable. Doubtless the fight at Yankee useful propaganda on the other side. Having preached the doctrine of Nordic superiority for a good many years, Hitler's minions will probably find in the out- | come a spectacular proof that their theories were! right. Of course, it doesn't prove anything of the| sort.
