The local Salvation Army tells us that already numerous job-seekers have landed broke in Juneau. The same thing is probably happening all over Alaska. It could become a serious problem We also fail to share Mr. Fl 1e's optimism con- cerning the sudden rejuvenation of gold mining. Labor costs are still far too high, for instance, to reopen the Territory’s largest operation, the Alaska-Juneau, and many other marginal operations will not reopen true of the fishing industry. La and a poor season is expected tk There will fishing The same i ast season was poor, Many canneries will not be without doubt less employme: industry than last year. Flakne's statement is defined by “the first positive encouragement migration of operate ves in the The Army Times U. s veter as any ficial agency has given to the for jobs in the Territory." t is our prediction that it will be the cause of a great deal of disappointment for hundreds of veterans who will arrive in Alaska and find no jobs. Whose Price Rise? (New York Tim President Truman and S ry of the Treasury Snyder have expressed their concern over the high | price level and indicated that they think industry should do something about it. In effect, this state ment places the responsibility for the recent price spiral upon industry. W there is no doubt that rises in industial prices ve contributed to the present problem, it is clear that only part of the increases have An analysis of e ls od prices price changes show that taken place in farm and the rise in the consumers’ price index during the past for example, shows that 70 per cent of the increase was accounted for by higher food prices ry cannot be held responsible for the A similar picture is shown when large increases here.

Alaska who were EMPLOYMENT POSSIBILITIES A recent eaiiion of The Army Times, published in Washington, D. C, may start a stampede of job-seek- ers to Alaska this summer. Joe Flakne, former Junsau man, now Chief of the Department of the Interior's Alaska Branch, told The Army Times the following: “Veterans who want jobs in Alaska will never have a better opportunity than during the next six months. “There will be hundreds of Alaska jobs from 1ow on through the summer, more than the Territory ! ev offered. The jobs will be in Army and Navy con- struction, highway work and Alaska railroad construction and :naintenance ‘Gold mining will be limited only by tion facilities available.” While it jobs this summer mining transporta- ¢ will dr there always is — we wonder how many thcousands will be up here after the “hundreds.” We wonder many of the thousand will know that the work is se: al, that with the fall and winter will ccme unemployment. 500 GRADE SCHOOL CHILDREN WILL B IN FETE ON MAY 2 Five hundred grade school chiia- is very true that there be “hun- is" of also how er Cyrus Peck is i field.

It is the Government, not industry, which supports farm prices whenever ihey threaten to decline. It is the Government, not in- justry, which is responsible for the large inflation in money and credit during the last few ars.

That relief will only be obtained if food and clothing prices decline. Recently we have seen that even where such declines begin they are not permitted to become fully effective because of Government support activities. Certai the facts concerning agricultural income do not indicate the need for any special intervention by the Government. In 1946 total agricultural income was estimated at $14,700,000,000, as compared with $11,800,000,000 at the inflat arv peak of 1919. During the first quarter of 1947 the Department of Agriculture has estimated that farm income is substantially higher than :n the similar period of 1946. Cash receipts from the sal f livestock and its products are estimated at about 45 per cent above a year ago, while for dairy products Approximately e in the cost of living during the ittributable to the higher prices for Government officials half of the in past year has beer what can be done in this sector of the economy than by giving their whole emphasis to industrial pric concert CONTRIBUTES $50 FOR TEXAS CITY returns in the Fox.
