Far from spending too much for recreational facili- ties for youth, we are spending too little. To date the Federal Government has spent $1,750 on the pool and the City of Juneau has spent $1,047.- To merely write off these expenditures as a bad investment, as has been suggested, would be a crime. The hole in the ground in Evergren Bowl is a dis- 55. grace to the City until it becomes a swimming pool. Principal stumbling block at this time is diffi- in obtaining WPA carpenters to build forms for the concrete tank. This is certainly a minor difficulty and one which should not be allowed to defeat the whole idea. The City also looks ahead with uneasiness to having to build a fence around he pool, having to provide the dressing rooms, hav- in sanitary footbaths and having to em- attendant to watch over the swimmers 1en the pool is open for use. But these are things which the City certainly should have foreseen when asked for Federal money for the project. The ipplication included the fence and dressing room‘ onstruction and stated that the pool would be ad- ministered and cared for by the present City per- The additions required by the Health De-| partment are minor in nature, We want the -pool | to have proper sanitation safeguards anyway. | Thete is only one thing for the City to do: Com- plete the swimming pool and we are sure the City| vill feel the same way about it after a little calm| consideration, culty ing to put ) an oni Anschluss Nonsense (Cleveland Plain Dealer) Speculation on what sort of a world will follow | the European war agitates the minds of many men,| but one of the strangest visions of the future is that of Senator C. P. Beaubien of Quebec. He sees an| anschluss between Canada and the United States,| hould the Nazis win. The Senator puts this for- ward as a major reason why the Dominion should incre its war effort and help the Allies to win. It is not an invasion that the Senator fears, with the resulting absorption of Canada by the United | States for “protective” purposes, It is, rather, thel economic gobbling of the Dominion. He points out that 30 percent of Canada’s income is derived from | her exports. Of these 60 percent go to overseas na-| tions and 40 percent to the nation south of the bor- der with its “unpredictable tariff.” Canada, says Beaubien, “is held in equilibrium | between two forces—the natural economic force draw- ing it to the United States and the political force binding it to Great Britain. If the political lien disappears what can prevent the economic force from operating freely?” The answer is that it would be checked by an- other political force already in operation, of which the Senator does not take cognizance. That is the| political friendship between Ottawa and Washington. | The Senator's thesis might be tenable if the United | States were a totalitarian country compelled to seek | ever new fields of operation to bolster its economy. But economic relations between the two North Amer- ican neighbors, despite the “unpredictable tariff,” are on a normal basis. Each gets from the other what it needs through functioning trade channels. No| dictator devices have to be resorted to. | President Roosevelt has on several occasions promised aid to Canada should she be directly at- tacked by a foreign power. That does not mean this country would take control of the Dominion. Such an idea is alien to the wildest dreams this | side of the lakes. Both countries will profit most if a strong, in dependent and friendly Canada is given every opportunity to work out her own destiny. That | is the American and the Canadian conception cf international relations. Choose Your Own Business Index (Philadelphia Record) To the New York Times Index, Business Week Index, Time. Index, the famous index based on liv- ing room rugs, the Miami index based on garbage collections now add this one from Chicago: “A. A McVittie, president of the National Res- taurant Association, says business is improving and cites as proof the fact that scribbling of figures on tablecloths has increased. This shows, he said, that many more big deals are being worked out over | luncheon and dinner plates.” (Mebbe they were just figuring up their debts?) Anyway, the field of indices is now so broad that anyone may pick his own. For ourselves, we still choose the old reliable, based on the size and regularity of the pay check.
