This recognition | T/ is evidenced anew in the reestablishment of a separate | prejects in the Territory, the Anchorage office assumes | responsibility for the military installations. | This organizational revision partly restores the setup that prevailed from 1921 to 1932, when Alaska | had its own district engineer office with headquarters | | in Juneau. Since 1932, the Alaska area has been under the immediate jurisdiction of the Seattle District| | Engineer. Another pre-war setup recently has been restored | The Seattle office and that of the Portland District Engineer formerly had been under the higher jurisdic- | tion of the North Pacific Division, whose lnn\(lqu:u'(c-l‘\\ | were in Portland. Then during the war emergenc: Ithe two Pacific Northwest districts, including Alaska, reported to exalted regional headquarters in San Fran- | cisco. Happily that arrangement has been discon- | |tinued. The Seattle and Portland districts and the DOLLAR VALUE DECREASES Action of the Canadian Government in dropping American the exchange value of the [ new Alaska office now comprise the North Pacific Division, with headquarters returned to Portland Alaska should benefit by the reestablishment, even | with limited autonomy, of its own Army Engineer dollar by ap- | District. It is advantageous to have authority on the proximately nine per cént is the first direct effect of the discontinuance of OPA on foreign currency markets. U. S. dollars which have commanded a 10 per cent premium in trade for Canadian dollars, now will be American bankers, while admitting ary indication, do not believe the affect the economy of either exchanged at par this is an inflation will serio move nation For several years the American traveler in Canada has taken advantage of his dollar premium. Presenting a $100 bill in payment for a $10 article, he has been pleased to note that he received, not only the article purchased, but change of $100 (Canadian) in return. Of course any Canadian currency he wished to ex- change into U. S. dollars on is return home brought the nine per cent discount, but for his buying in Canada, the premium was effective. While it was a source of some satisfaction to American visitors, the exchange was a constant annoyance to many Can- adians. Bankers in this country will not be surprised, they confide, if Mexico immediately follows Canada’s example and changes the peso value of the U. 8. dollar. Today. one dollar, American, is worth five pesos—the peso being pegged at 20 cents. It is probable, authorities believe, that this may be boosted before many days have passed. Another—and even more important—possibility— is a shift in the value of British pounds. Under normal times the pound is worth $4.87, U. S.; today it is valued at $4—a considerable percentage advantage for the of waging aggressive war and to give them a chance | bac! American currency. How much higher the pound will climb—if indeed it climbs at all—is problematical. But the fact remains that price increases which have been noted on so many American markets already has reached the money market—as witness Canada's dollar—and may continue farther.
