American Bank Building lington, 200 YEARS IN ALASKA Next year will be 200th anniversary of the Russian discover On July 15, 1741, Alexei Chirikof from the d the ship St. Paul sighted the Alaska coast at ce of Wales Island. The following day Vitu Danish captain of the Russian expedition in Chirikof was second in command, sailed his vessel St. Peter in sight of Mount St. Elias, which he named. A few days later Bering made a landing on Kayak Island, near Con- troller Bay. He was far history shows, the first white man to set foot on what is now Alaska. Alaska should plan an appropriate celebration of this event. One who had such an idea was the Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff, who passed away this week. His grandfather had come to Russian America in 1820, not so many years after the first explorers. The family has been an Alaskan one e since. Kashevaroff himself lived 76 years in Alaska, under both the Russian eagle and the Stars and Stripes. His life bridgeéd the historic span from the days of through the purchase by the United States, through all the long years of official neglect, slow growth and development, down to the present day:of & buky, modern, industrial Alaska. We may well look back next year over the two eventful centuries since Bering's second Kamchatka expedition came in sight of a new land to the east. Russian occupation, Father Kashevaroff's idea of a grand Alaska cele- bration and festival is a good one. Without him to recite the history, it will not be quite what it might have been, But Alaska should hold it any- way, in honor and remembrance of a glorious his- torical past HAPPY BIRTHDAY The Civi!

Some one once said that the difference between {a derelict and a man is a job.

They have been able to make an | honest living without resorting to relief, the latter | considered by many a young man a shameful ruin- | ation, The camp life of an enrollee is not unpleasant.

Common Sense in Spain | AT 1 | | (New York Times) The rulers of the new Spain have done a good day's work for their sorely tried people in signing a far-reaching trade treaty with Great Britain and in obtaining a £2,000,000 British loan. The unsleen- ing patrol of the Allied blockade has prevented Gen- {eral Franco from repaying Germany, in the form of raw materials, for help rendered in the civil war “No copper ore shipped from Spain since the out- break of war has reached Germany,” the British Minister for Economic Warfare announced the other day. What is true of copper is also true, no doubt of other raw materials which Germany needs and which Spain must sell to repair her shattered fi- nances. If Spain wants to trade she must turn else- where. Now Spain has recognized the, geographical reali- ties of her position by resuming her old Business relations with Great Britain. She will supply the British with expanded amounts of iron ore, pyrites a fruit in exchange for British coal and manu- factured goods. Her decision to do so is proof that General Franco is tackling the immensely difficult job of reconstruction at home instead of planning military or diplomatic adventures abroad. ‘There is now less chance than ever that Franco’s Spain will become the ally of Nazi Germany in this somehow war. The specter of a Pyrenees front against the | Allies has all but disappeared; the peaceful develop- ment of Spain has been safeguarded. If Spain con- tinues along this road, her war-weary people can look forward to a happier future. | Test of Real War | (Philadelphia Record) | Everyone realizes that the war of blockade and interference with merchant shipping that is being waged between Germany and the Alles is hard on the whole population of each of the nations Just how hard an economic war pinches is now revealed. Beginning March 1 Germany cut down 50 percent on the brewing.of Pilsener bger and 25 | percent on the brewing of ordinary varieties. It will not be long before the Germans will have to | accept a proportional reduction in their beer con- sumption France, we learn, has had to cut out every other cup of coffee on account of the war. The National Group for the Importation and Distribution of Cof- fee in Time of War has apportioned just half the normal peacetime amount of coffee. When the German gives up his beer and the , Frenchman forgoes his coffee the war is real, even | if all the cannon are silent. | R RN SR { Senator Pepper of Florida sums up the Crom- well incident neatly: “Perhaps he should not have id it, but I'm mighty glad he did. | says flying is lhe:n('xl week to join other inspectors |at Seattle and transfer there to The popular aeronautics official |a wheel-equipped plane for the rest in Juneau with his CAA seaplane | late yesterday evening to spend a| ilew days here on routine business of conference in Los Angeles and of the flight.
