The Pacific Coast thus offers two air mail routes to Alaska, one for seaplanes and the other for landplanes. Joe Crosson, veteran glaska pilot, offers the further practical suggestion that weather conditions may be expected to interfere fre- quently with air mail flights. When this occurs ships will offer an alternate method of transporting mail on the coast route, while stormbound mail might be delayed indefin- itely on the interior route. PROMOTING ALASKA INTERESTS The “Alaska Survey Number” of the Pacific Coast edition of the Wall Street Journal has just reached our desk. This is the publication to which Juneau, through the Chamber of Commerce, and other cities in the Territory gave support with the aim of further- ing Alaska's development possibilities. The Journal has depicted the Territory n a factual and interesfing style. Mining, fishing, fur, tourist business and other Alaska resources are fairly pre- sented. It is a credit to the Journal's staff and should be of value to the Territory as it gets around to the financial paper’s readers. Fate of the Republican party appears to rest with the H's. There’s Hoover and Hamilton, and the combination seems to result in the short four- lettered word with the same initial letter for the rest of the party. “Insiders” and the Market (New York Times) The continued break in Tne stock market last week brought renewed discussion in Wall Street re- garding its possible causes, both in the general busi- ness situation and within the market itself. Particular attention has been drawn to Section 16 of the Securi- ties Exchange Act, which provides that officers and directors, and persons holding more than 10 percent of any class of equity stock of a corporation, must file regular statements of any purchases or sales they may | | HAPPY.

The Ital- ians had had to evacuate certain areas. However, in London it was declared that the apparent rout of the Italian forces would uitimate- ly prove a victory for the Allies. French, British and American war machinery was being put into mo- !lum to offset the German drive on the Italians.

Roosevelt. ! The P.-I. has been carrying the torch for the > *- LOOK and LEARN Territory Mr. Boettiger took over direction of that newspaper about a year ago, and doing an ex- cellent job of it. Its columns reflect a management which is keenly alive to the value of Alaska, not alone as a commercial asset to Seattle, but as a vast empire, the development of which will be of inestimable bene- fit to the nation and the people of the Territory. Just as it is supporting whole-heartedly other Alaska projects, the P.-I. goes after the coastal air mail route in an intelligent and business-like manner. Commenting under the heading “Alaska’s Needs in Air Mail Service,” Mr. Boettiger's Post-Intelligencer has this to say: It s welcome news that Vancouver, B. C,, is cooperating with Seattle and other Pacific Coast cities in efforts to obtain a coastal air mail route to Alaska. Concerted action by Coast cities should help to offset the head start that United States and Canadian air transport companies have gained in their efforts to establish an interior route, through Montana and Alberta to the Y 1 and Alaska The United States postoffice department, in advertising for bids for air mail service be- tween Juneau and Fairbanks, in Alaska, and Whitehorse, Yukon, is taking a step that will allow air mail from Alaska to be moved toward the United States, over whichever route is eventually established. Meanwhile, in new alignments that pay little heed to international borders, Pacific Coast regions in Canada and the United States work for a coastal route, intermountain re- gions of the two countries for an interior route. But the good of Alaska should be the de- termining factor, so far as the United States is concerned. The continued development of the Ter- ritory is a national problem. Who gets lhe business is, after all, a local problem. since The Post-Intelligencer believes the good of Alaska requires a coastal air service. Present communication between the United States and Alaska is by water. Ships will con- tinue to handle the bulk of business, at least until such time as an international highway to Alaska becomes a reali It would be in- convenient alike for Al and for business firms in the United States now dealing with Alaska to handle a portion of their commerce by a coast route and a portion by an interior route. When a highway to Alaska is constructed it will be on a route paralleling the coast and Pacific Coast cities will be even more closely linked to Alaska than at present, Landing of less than six months.

For, on the one hand, | it fails to cover cases or securities held for more than six months and then sold on the basis of inside in- yformation; on the other hand, it unfairly includes purchases and sales which may occurr within a six months’ period entirely properly and in no way in reliance upon inside information. The six months’ |test, in other words, bears no relationship to the evil sought to be remedied; it is a bed of Procrustes into hich it is sought to fit proper and improper tran- | sactions, and it often works injustice upon officers, directors and large stockholders in special cases. Mr. Seligman expressed the opinion that complete com- I pulsory publicity for such transactions would provide | sufficient safeguards for stockh giers. In view of the bearing of the present provisions of the law on market stability, the SEC and Congress should cer- | tainly consider the desirability of modifying them. By A. C. Gordon 1.
