That was an interesting suggestion made th er day by the Board of Budget that the Legis- pass the regular appropriation bill within the t 30 days of the session. It could be done, of cot In the past it never It is always the last bill to be passed, usually the session is over according to all the clocks in Alaska except the ones in the Legislative halls, wl have been stopped just before midnight Clearly, this no no way to conduct a business which nowadays has a payroll of more than two million dollars a year. Appropriation measures should be afforded more careful study than this method per- mits. The Empire yesterday carried a story from Wash- ington that the independent office supply bill had been passed by the House. This measure is the national equivalent of tfle Territorial appropriation bill. The 77th Congress in session less than a month. The budget was not submitted until several days after the opening. And the bill has already passed the House. Surely if a measure as complex and covering as broad a field as a national apprepriation bill can be whipped into shape and passed in three weeks, bill could be completed in the same time. Our prediction, however will pass the appropriation bill as of the been h a usual, on the last day session.

(Cincinnati Enquirer) There will be some unduly suspicious persons, 0 doubt, who read of the departure of American soldiers for Newfoundland with fear and trembling. They have heard much about sending American boys .0 foreign lands to fight; and they know that New- oundland is a foreign land. If they are better in- ormed than most, they will even know that New- foundland is definitely foreign, and not a part of Canada The sending of American troops, in reality, has very different meaning. It is a measure of defense 1 the best and most realistic sense of the word. merican military writers have been arguing for ars that we should have a strong, fortified base somewhere on Newfoundland, particularly since a rge part of our most vital industry lies in the ex- posed area of Southern New England. ! The extraordinary circumstances produced by his war, and the new solidarity of Great Britain nd the United States evoked by this war, made it Jossible last summer for our government to acquire 1 chain of naval and air base sites beyond our At- antic seaboard. incalculable—certainly immensely e of 50 overage destroyers. In time we shall have defenses off our Atlantic more than the :n - the Pacific. The departure of troops for New-| | foundland is a tangible proof that our great new defense system in the Atlantic is moving ahead. It cannot go too fast. Worm That Turns (New York Times) Optimists who have always believed the worm will turn will hail the discovery of a fly that catches and eats spiders. It was found by Dr. B. B. Fulton of North Carolina State College and christened Pla)- |ura fultonis in honor of its sponsor, It is really as a worm or a grub that the fly at-| tacks the hereditary enemies of its kind. ~After it| sprouts wings it becomes a vegetarian with a special| | taste for mushrooms. As a larva, however, it is | quite a worm. For one thing, it carries blue traffic/ | lights both fore and aft. It also weaves a wgb which| small spiders can't get out of, and devours its prey 1at leisure. At least to novices, it represents the first case of poetic justice encountered in the insect world.
