It is a time to avoid looking backward. Irritability and discontent may assail those who do not think along positive lines while this planetarys government continues. Churchgo- ing should be helpful. As the spring progresses farmers will confront many unusual con- ditions, « it is forecast, but they should profit since prices for sta- ples are to rise in the fall. This is not a favorable rule un- der which to make plans. Judg- ment may be exceedingly untrus worthy at this time. when there may be a tendency towards per- sonal bias and emotional reac- tions. The evening is promising for wo- /men who may find joy in reunions with friends.

Officials report that not since the cariy days have so many prospectors been in the field in Alaska as in the last two seasons, and the prospect is that even more will be cut looking for the precious metal this season. That means Alaska development. It rew finds will be made in the many metallic regions that the Territory is known to have and such proper- ties will be put in operation, adding tp the flow of gold from the T and bringing with it build- ing of much-needed roads and increase in aviation service to serve such operations. As Delegate Dimond pointed out again yesterday in a news dispatch from Washington, a slash in the price of gold now would be a body blow for the vast development program which the Territory and Federa! government is planning for Alaska. Thermajor part of that program is built on the prospect of mineral development. Such developments, for example, means. that ‘erritory, have taken place the last two years in the Goodnews | Bay region, the Forty Mile and in other rich minegal régions throughout the Territory. Those were golden words, indeed, from the Presi- dent for this gold-bearing country that he knows no plan to lower the price of gold of HEADED FOR THE B()\\ WOWS? We may be an nlnl fd\hmll(’(l confirmed optimist but we still do not believe the country is going to the dogs. It seems to be a bit stylish nowadays to de- clare “what is the country coming to?”, implying that we are bound for some unpredictable destination that we will not enjoy. Some of us may be, but we have a hunch it will not be in this world. But just what i% the country coming to? Bank statements here in Juneau as well as throughout the country reveal increases in de- posits. Down on Puget Sound the lumber industry reports it is enjoying its greatest activity in more than 10 years. Mills cannot meet the orders that are pour- ing in. Retail stores far and wide give statements of the greatest sales in years. Steel production and railroad carloadings are pointing toward new highs Incidentally, despite the strikes, automobile sales are in the higher brackets and the demand ever grows.

In this way the question can be carried directly to the people. P If Mr. Vandenberg is correct in believing that | Congress, in submitting an amendment to State con- ventions, has the right to set the time for the calling of such conventions—and many constitutional authori ties believe that it has—then he is justified in declar- ing that his amendment could be atified within 90 days” if the full power of the Administration were put behind it. It has been suggested that the President might refuse to support a new amendment of thi: sort on the ground that the long delay in approval! of the old child labor amendment has been the chief argument against referring the proposal to enlarge the court directly to the people in the form of a con- | stitutional amendment. But it is inconceivabie tha’!, the President, of all people, would do anything to prolong the exploitation of children for one day simply in the hope of scoring a political point. Out Of The Past (Cincinnati Enquirer) ‘ A-perusal of the news of 55 years ago is by no | means reassuring that we have changed much, at least much for the better. At hand is the Christmas | issue of the San Francisco Ngws Letter, dated Decem- ber 17, 1881. It furnishes at least one case in point. The News Letter professed indignation in the issue |at the fact that the United States was spending 1$70,000,000 for the payment of pensions, and called to witness the statement of the San Francisco Ex- aminer that “the subsidizing of nearly a million voters is a political crime.” “These fact: the News Letter said on its own behalf, “should teach Con- gress to prescribe proper limits for pecuniary patrio- tism in any future war.” That was 55 years, and several billion dollars’ worth of pensions and bonuses, ago. ‘Merely’ (Philadelphia Record) Associated Press dispatch from Berlin: “Farm workers, as well as metal and construction workers, were under official orders to stay put in their jobs during Germany's fight for economic indepen- dence. Jumping from ove job to another, merely for higher wages, was forbidden.” Thus do the blessings of life multiply under the AThnd Reich.
