And so is union membership. All of the ‘c‘onstructlcn jobs at the westward and interior are handled’ through the unions and, as we have said, | there is already an oversupply of labor. | Jobs in Alaska are usually seasonal ‘and abouti five months work is all that the Territorial Employ- ment Office says should be counted upon by the labor- er or trade member in the construction, mining, or, fishing industry.

Though government housing plans are in the making, it will take time for them to effect any material change in ‘the present shortage. There has been too much written in the news- papers and magazines about the lure of Alaska, its high wages and the adventure of living here. It is a wonderful country.

In the past 50 years these ups and downs have become more severe—so severe that the Politburo in Moscow is known to have based its global strategy on the theory that on cmic depression wou entire American syster HISTORY'S GREATEST 300M Since V-J Day most Americans have been enjoying the greatest wave of prosperity in history—for two reasons: 1, the public’s unsatis- fied demand lor goods they could not buy during the war; 2, the cold war, which has caused the Govern- ment to pour billions into the world’s economic stream. However, the Council estimates that the long pent-up demand for automobiles, refrigerators and.other consumers’ goods is now, just about filled, while the vast expenditures to Europe in another year will be- gin to taper off, so that depressiza will come in 1950-51. Another factor is the psychologi- cal effect of swiftly rising prices followed by dropping prices. If OPA and inflation controls had not been thrown overpoard by Congress and prices had not shot up so high business dislocation might not be so bad now. For, while falling prices at the moment may be healthy, yet a lot of business—especially small business—always gets hurt by fall- ing prices: And the psychological eifect: of falling prices encourages depression; for people, waiting for lower prices, don’t buy. THE PRESIDENT’S ADVISERS The three members of the Presi- dent’s Council of Economic Advisers are: Chairman Dr. Edwin Nourse, a New Yorker, long-time member of the Brookings Institute, and gener- :lly considered the most conserva- tive counselor. Leon Keyserling, a native th Carolina, former Secretary Senator Wagner, and who has a lgng experience in the gov- chiefly in the U. 8. Hous- srity.

Therefore, they put more emphasis on hard-and-fast Govern- | ment incentives which would pmn; up the economy regarcdless of )x‘r-‘l suasion. They propose: 1. Increased Social Security bene- fits to take care of unemplu,ed‘ and the aged. Present old-age pen- | sicns are woefully low and unem-, ployment benefits last only a brief! interval after unemployment starts. 2. Increase minimum wages to 75 cents. This is aimed at increasing Luying power in the lower brackets. Al present, union lgbor's constant round of wage demands has put organized labor far ahead of the| great mass of unskilled and unor- ganized labor. One sure way prevent depression is to promote buying power by lower income! to 3. Low-cost housing, built throuzt ! ! Government subsidies. This helps to provide work ' 4. Aid to education.
