The selection of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska for first developments under this program is an acknowledgment of the importance of this area in the event of war upon the Pacific, and of its present vulnerability. Still to be met is the problem of & naval base in the Aleutians, which would enable our fleet to intercept any enemy attack, long before it could threaten our shores.

STOCK MARKET SLUMP The stock market continues to be afflicted with an inferiority complex. Shares which have been slump- ing for weeks fail to rally appreciably although some gains were noted yesterday following a big drop the day Not only are American shares off, but Montreal and London also report drops. Both latter Montreal reporting some before. markets were off yesterda; levels lower than in years. Scores of reasons are advanced, ranging from alleged Wall Street manipulation to war scare. Demo- cratic Congressman Sabath of Illinois voiced publicly yesterday what some have been charging in milder way for some time—political movement on the part of bar and brokers opposed to present securities regulation in an effort to embarrass the present ad- ministration. 1nere may be some degree of truth in such a theory, but it is hard to believe that there is any group of men strong enough financially to cause such a general depression in stocks. Although it may be possible that such opposition might take advantage of contributing factors and aid in forcing shares down if they saw merit in the scheme. However, the fact that reaction felt foreign exchanges would lend weight to the theory that the stock market flurry is not entirely due to national affairs and that the unsettled conditions throughout the world, with two wars actually being fought, are strong contributing factors. Best evidence that the market jitters is of porary nature and not based on general slump in in- dustsg gy be foungd in the Alaska-Juneau quotations. A. J'was down to &R neéw low of 87 yesterday. Yet the local gold mining company recently declared an extra dividend and its eight months report shows an increase in profits and output over a year ago. Furthermore, those of us here in Juneau see opera- tions continuing daily with upwards of 1000 men employed at good wages, and sufficient ore blocked out for work to continue for years to come. Thus, it is evident that there is considerable dif- ference between an actual fact and a financial one such as emanates from the New York Stock Exchange. The former keeps business generally on the even keel now in evidence about the country. The latter, too Jong an alleged barometer of what is going to happen, gives the financial experts something to worry about and tends to cause a spirit of unrest. Perhaps some day some wizard will come along with a solution to the stock market's intermittent heeble jeebies. In the meantime, we'll string along with actual facts—wheels of industry turning at a normal pace—men at work. Even Business Week, the financial magazine which sounds startled every time a Wall Street broker coughs, admits that “despite the pessimism there were & number of other developments ‘that partly offset the gloom. For one thing, retail sales definitely im- is on the tem- proved in September ‘and, while a8tomabile produe- ) tion is rising only slowly because Ford has not gotten into line yet, the impetus of this industry should be making itself felt any day now.- Bteel activity has dipped below 75 per cent of capacity and may move a little lower if motor buying in volume is delayed much longer. Still, even 70 per cent of capacity is not a bad rate, and the industry feels that the pessi- mism has been overdone.” When Business Week and the steel industry both feel that pessimism has been overdone, the rest of us can feel optimistic to the extreme. Smutty publications are giving the post office department a hard rub, says a headline. And the public a dirty rub. It appears that John Chinaman has developed | (Cincinnati Enquirer) | Although mild efforts have been made to check it, the flow of foreign funds into the American money and security markets has gone on at a dizzy pace. In the first six months of 1937 foreigners added almost a billion dollars to their capital holdings in the United States, bringing the total of foreign funds here to about $9,000,000,000. Much of this can rightly be described as “hot money,” meaning funds which can be withdrawn readily if psychology changes, with dis- astrous results in the American security markets. It is complimentary to our stability, this inflow of short-term funds. And it speeds the process of recovery in certain respects. But in the by and large it is an unfortunate trend and ought somehow to be checked. France has virtually stopped the outward movement of short-term money, but the movement from England, Switzerland, and other countries has continued. Conversations with a British Treasury official now in progress may bring about some degree of control from the other side of the Atlantic. But in all pro- bability it will be necessary to impose new penalties | here. Additional taxes on the profits of foreign in- vestments are the most positive method. This runs counter to the current American doctrine of un- hampered trade and financial operations across na-| tional frontiers. But if foreigners’ collective faith in our economic future is so great as to create a hazard to that future, we have no choice but to raise | a barrier against the unwelcome funds. | The New Vigilantism | (New York World-Telegram) ! The American League Against War and Fascism | announces the formation of a national committee to investigate the spread of “vigilantism" in industrial communities, with hearings by a panel of citizen in-| vestigators headed by Bishop Francis J. McConnell | of the Methodish Church, and containing the names | of other prominent Americans. It is also reported that,the Department of Justice may co-operate with the La Follette Civil Liberties Committee to shed light { on this evil. Law-loving Americans will cheer these announce- ments as a healthy public reaction against such extra- | legal activities parading under the cloak of patriotism. | Vigilantism’s current manifestations are dmcr—‘ ent from those of pioneer days in the Far West. There | it grew from the desperation of citizens over the| absence of law. Today, in troubled industrial areas,| men are called upon to organize secretly to break | strikes or drum labor organizers out of town. Last| winter a vigilance committee in Seattle undertook to | break a waterfront strike with these instructions:— | “Temper your severity to suit the occasion, and, ”l forced to fight, don't forget that nothing so swn‘fl)’ sickens a mob of its course as stomach-wrenching, | soul-sickening brutality, swiftly, fearlessly and judici- (ally applied. . We have no need for vigilantism of any kind in this country. If the laws are inadequate to protect life and property we can make adequate laws. It officers of the law fail to enforce these laws we have ways of providing better officers. | The quickest and surest way to kill these self- appointed bodijes is to expose them. | T Union seamen, meeting in New York, demand a bonus for sailing in Spanish and Chinese waters.
