Seattle, Wash Saturday, Octobér 28, 1950 e i IF THE A-J] WERE OPEN AGAIN Phil Bradley, Jr., Consulting Engineer and mem- ber of the board of directors of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, gave the Chamber of Com- merce something to dream about at its meeting Thursday. If the Alaska-Juneau were able to open ... If the price of gold were raised . . . If gold were put on the free market and allowed to find its own level The Alaska-Juneau, after producting over $81,000,- 009 and mining about 88,500,000 tons of ore, still has marked out in reserve about $30,000,000 worth of gold. However, at today’s prices, Mr. Bradley said, it vould cost $50,000.000 to take the gold out of the mountains. Figuring that every dollar from a mining prop- erty that goes into a community, creates from $7 to | The Washington aid to Korea, | in 1041, VS U——————- . the Foreign Affairs Committee for for military aid to $9 more in services and supplies, that Alaska-Juneau payroll would be something to get back again. A high year’s production, before the mine closed was $5,500,000. Of that sum, $2,000,000 was spent in wages. About 900 men were employed. But to get the Alaska-Juneau in operation again, would require a raise in the price of gold to $72 or $75 from its present $35 price. In 1934, inflation had sent the worth of a dollar | —taken for comparison as worth 100 cents in 1913—|® down to 59 cents. That same dollar declined in value to 50 cents in 1939; 39 cents in 1945 and is estimated to be worth 29 cents now — as compared to 100 cents in 1913. The price of gold was raised to $35 in 1934, and since that time the value of a dollar has declined from 59 cents to 29 cents. A raise to $75 would just about pay for an opera- tion that had made its way profitably on $35 gold in 1934. It will probably never happen. Job Well Done But, we can dream. (Cincinnati Enquirer) The Marshall Plan is one of the most far-reaching peacetime efforts ever made by any government in the realm of world affairs . It bas run a little more than half of its allotted course. The administrator of the Marshall Plan, Paul G. Hoffman, who has resigned to become director of the Ford Foundation, has done 1 superlative job and is entitlied to the thanks of the country. There is no reason to suppose his resignation will impair the effectiveness of the Economic Co- operation Administration, however. He has built an efficient organization. The pattern of its operations is established. And Mr. Hoffman has had several immediate subordinates, any of whom would be quite able to take the helm. The ECA program has not accomplished all that had been hoped for. Even when it runs out, it will not have made the European partieipants self-sus- taining, in respect to their dollar requirements. But there is no reason to think a different policy would have achieved this ambitious goal. And the most important thing, the remedying of those conditions which fostered Communism in Western Europe, has been accomplished in gratifying degree. “A Russian government official savs the United States has a petticoat government” Gosh.

Gaelic Chicago Distort Vote Record Taking advantage of the current wave of Communist hysteria, the Douglas opposition has prepared a “pink” sheet cleverly distorting some of the Congresswoman’s votes into making it appear that she consistently voted with New York’s radical Congressman Marcantonio. | This is one of the most skillful pieces of propaganda I have seen in the current election. It ignores the fact that Mrs. Douglas has put across some powerful and construc- tive legislation—such as the Doug- lz:-McMahon bill—which created the Atomic Energy Commission, also the Public Housing bill for the passage of which Mrs. Douglas tire- lessly buttonholed reluctant Con- gressmen. , pink sheet also ignores the fact { at the Congresswoman from Califlc ia led the battle inside | underworld didn't take the bill | seriously until the Senate and | House suddenly passed it.
