BUILDING IS VITAL

Reconstruction plans of the Depart
nent of Labor provide for America
perhaps the greatest development of
public works and houains ever pro
ieeted.
A greater and better America is the
object of this vast campaign. The
building program contemplated by the
department will mean transition
from war to peace basis; it will fur
rish employment for large numbers OF
the men to be demobiiized from the
Army and the war industries: and il
will stand after the readiustment is
completed, as monument to Ameri-
can labor and enterprise 1t will mean
tremendous addition to the material
wealth Of the country and to its pub
lie resources.

aged to put full steam ahead on their
plans for betterment, held up nearly
two years as result Of the war. Pri-
vate builders are urged to begin their
work at once. The average working
man, who has been steadily employed
during the war probably has more
money than ever before, and now is
the time for him to begin an invest
n1ent in home.
Building in short, is an important
part of the Governments plan for
peace. Stopped during the war, this
industry is far behind its normal con-
dition.
Nearly every town and city in the
country needs new buildings; nearly
every city in the country needs new
houses. The people Of America have
been living in close quarters. They
must have more air, more sunliqht,
more green fields, more natural free
dom.
Plans are under way to create de-
n'ands for homes, to start work on
public buildings, and to encourage pri-
Vate building on a large scale.
Everyone can cooperate in this

great task. It is job for the business
man, the workers, everybody in the
community.
Reconstruction must be made lit
eral, the Department of Labor be-
lieves. There must be reconstruction
of that which is antiquated and OBJ
solete, and new construction to supply
the Nations need Of new homes.
War time labor requirement made
new buildin, except upon Government
work, out of the question, and as a
result Americas population is living
in too close quarters. Moreover, the
cessation of building has caused in
creases in rents until they have be-
come in many places absolutely ex-
brilliant.
For the national good, this retarda-
ton in the normal housing program
must be more than made up. In MAX
ing it up, there will be created a need
for labor that will assure employment

More than resumption of building
operations is sought. An extension of
the program SO inclusive that it will
include the erection of every building
that is needed everywhere. the prose-
cution of nub'ic work. the erection OF
public buildings, and the constructio
above all, of homes.
Unity is as essential in this cam
pagn as it was in winning the war.
The Nation must be united in support
of a program that will supply its

POSSIBILITIES OF THE
ALASKA HERRING
in D u S TRY

A recent report from the American
consul at Stavanger, Norway, on the
spring herring fishery of Norway,
shows that in the past four seasons.
including 1918, the catch had an aver
ace annual value of about S6,7oo,ooo.
About so per cent of the yield was
sa,ted and most of the remainder
was sold locally or exported as fresh
fish, a very small quantity being can
ned or kippered.
The United States Bureau Of Fish
cries in its bulletin for July says that
the Importance aid value of this fish
cry is an indication of what may be
done by adequate government encour-
=uement and assistance in the United
States, particusrlyin Alaska. The
herring resources of Alaska are pre-
bably not irfe,i-- 70 those of NORWAY
and. considering the greater extent
Of the coast line, are possibly much
Superior, yet the average annual val
ua OF the catch in that territory for
the four years ending December 81.
1917. was but s25eooo. The bulletin
continues.
Trio eyes Of Alaska fishermen have
been so focused on the extraordinary
salmon and rich halbut fisheries that
the possibilities of sea herring have
been largely overlooked. To no
small extent, owing to the action of
tho Bureau Of Fisheries, in placing
exoerts in the territory to give assis-
tancn to fishermen in improving their
methods of curing herring, and in call
ina the attention of distributors to
the availability of the supply, the
value of the output in 1917 rose to
'5e7.777.nearly double that of the pre-
cedino year and about eight times
that Of 1914.
The promising feature Of this com.
rarision is not the value OF the pack
OF 1917. which was but 6 per cent Of
that of Norway in the same year, but
the rapid increase in the rass four

years. 1t lends strength to the hope
that the enterprise of the people OF
Alaska will result in giving the herr
inshshery its proper place in the econ
omy of the territory, second only to
the great salmon fisheries.
The imports of cured herring into
the United States in normal times
are heavy. BY reason of war condi-
tions these imports are now greatly
curtailei and from some sources are
entirely cut off, and there is present
ed wonderful opportunity for Alas
ka to permanently acquire a large
part of this trade If an effort be
made to meet the demand and proper
care be exercised to insure high quail
ity in the pack. Each careless or dis
honest packer will be a menace to
the Industrial progress Of the terri
tory. The herring packed under the
bureaus instruction and supervision
last year was the best received in
New York, and the standard so estab-
lished should be scrupulously main
tanned. THE Bureau of Fisheries be-
lieyes in the future Of the herring in
dustry, and has again sent experts to
Alaska to assist and instruct packers
and to furnish information concern
ing marketing. 1t is regretted that
efforts TO obtain large staff for this
work were unavailinq.

mended by Maj. Gen. Barnett, com
mandant, in his annual report.
Early action OF congress is urged,
as delay would mean loss Of rank for

Opportunity to qualify for perma-

Attributing much OF the success OF

system Of drawing its commissioned
personnel from the ranks the com
mandant said the highest efficiency
would be served by adherence to TINS
policy. which attracts the highest
class Of recruits.
Gen. Barnett recommended that the
present two, three and four year en-

listed men and officers.
