Secretary Krug believes that more of a c.se is to be made for sharing | the receipts derived from the exploitation of a natural resource, such as the rich Pribilof fur seal take, with Alaska. That is the pattern in the case of distribution of income from mineral royalties from public domain lands and of receipts from National Forests.

But since the safety of every human activity is measured, to | some extent, by averages, the tables recently made although | public by the Department of Commerce are to the point. These show by a variety of figures the safety | record of scheduled domestic air lines and of scheduled | American-flag international air lines from 1939 through 1 1946. Willlam A.

On that basis | domestic air lines had a better safety record in 1946 than in any year siace E a record nearly as good as that of 1839. and international | lines together had a better record in 1946 than in any year since 1938, no figures being given for any year prior to 1939. Safety in air travel is relative, not absolute. But so is safety on the ground. In 1946, on the basis of passenger miles, travel on schedule over domestic air lines was relatively twice as safe as travel by, automobile was in 1945. This admittedly is a com- parison open to question, for the kind cf drivers who produce most automobile accidents are no model for airplane pilots or anybody else. Perhaps the most persuasive figures io come from the files of the Civil Aeronautics Administration are these which measure the safety record of the domestic air lines over successive three-year periods, starting to cause Alaskan we have | last shipment we while the others of the Jackson fact that any it is is carried on in such a practice. tied up, however, in 1932. Throughout those years there has been an of armed guards, uninterrupted improvement in the record, with the (result that in 1944-46 fataiities for every 100,000,000 passenger miles flown were less than one-fifth of those in 1932-3¢. But in the whole of that period there was a more then twenty-fold oxpansion ‘n air iravel; the number of fatalities, absolutely rather than rela- tively, did increase over those vears.
