GOLD PRICE BOOSTS DEVELOPMENT PRO( R \‘\l Announcement by President Roosevelt that there is to be no change in the gold policy at this time should be reassuring news to the mining industry. Coupled with the report that three other nations are to fall in line and buy gold at the American price of $35 per ounce, it is bound to increase greatly small operations. Large operations, of course, will continue to enjoy the widened paystreak but one of the major advantages of the high gold price in Alaska is that it encourages the prospector and the small operator. The prospectors are the ones who find new pay dirt and it is new discoveries that will boom the Ter- ritory on its development road Assurance that the gold price is to remain at $35 fits in with the road, trail and airfield program which is getting under way this summer. Major purpose of this work is to open up areas heretofore inaccessible. As this development work goes forward, the little fellow picking away on isolated ground will be en- couraged to broaden out and as he makes progress capital naturally will be inclined to come to his as- sistance. The three million dollar increase in gold produc- tion in the Territory last year over the preceding year is evidence of what the price of gold had done for Alaska. New properties have been opened up and are producing at a rapid rate in the Forty Mile, Good- news Bay region and scores of other places through- out the Territory. Established properties are show- ing the best returns in years. It is safe to predict that with gold at the present level the increase in production in 1937 will exceed that of last year. cou RT PLAN MOV Eh ALOI\(: Despite rumors and reports that the President court plan was gradually being dropped from the program for this session of Congress there appears to be evidence that the Chief Executive is pushing the plan, as he has done right along, for early action. In a press conference yesterday, he stated there ‘was no question but that the measure would go through this term, although it might be in amended form. Not only would amendments be offered in the Senate, he explained, but he may offer one himself. Retirement of Justice Willis Van Devanter and report that one or iwo more voluntary retirements would follow apparently led opposition to hope that the President would consider that a victory. But the court plan, as Mr. Roosevelt has consistently held, not an action agamst any persun now on the Federnl Broadcast of Toral Echpse Scheduled From Pacific \ S Wednesday June 9—“$ A el 3 LN AUSTRALIA e \ PRy \ O New Ze\afisfl P!

It would be folly to send the United States fleet north, to meet an invading force, to pile up on un-' charted rock: An aggressive interest by Seattle and other Puget Sound cities will speed the completion of the Alaska survey. With the installation of needed aids to navigation it will be a long step toward making Alaska safe for the service of commerical shipping and the national defense.
