Back the Alaska Railroad
Seattle Times)


 Inclusion bv the House of a s1,964,350 item in the general deficiency bill before that measure was sent to the Senate today assures continuation oi work on the Alaska railroad.
 Washington dispatches state that arrangelhehts also have been made double the present force of 800 men during June, which will guarantee year of progress for this important enterprise
 The action of the House is particularly interest that the present Republican Congress would adopt critical if not a hostile attitude toward the Alaska railroad.
 Delay at this time in carrying forward this en- erprise would be most fortunate. J. l.. McPherson mgineer of the Alaska Engineering Commission, has informed the House Appropriations Committee that .52 of the 437 miles of work has been completed while considerable grading and other labor has been arried the unfinished section
 In other words the construction of the line IS :oing forward Costs it is claimed, have been much ligher than had been anticipated The war slowed Town operations extent Unexpected obsta- lished the groundwork for criticism of alleged in efficiency in the conduct of the commissions affairs
 After all is said and done, however, three circum- stances demand and should receive favorable consd- ration from Congress and the country:
 With the building of the line partially completed would be rank folly not to go through with it to he end.
 Without these transportation facilities the com indefinitely postponed
 The Government has undertaken work which private capital would not have essayed for years if 
 Seattle must take it's stand this firm ground md must campaign energeically to assure continu- .tion of construction operations.
 There is nothing controversial involved in the .hree statements of fact mentioned above. Irrespec- i've of partisanship the local citi2enry unite to support all efforts in behalf of the railroad.
 There is Government enterprise going forward It this time which more to the city and none which, in point of fact will greater dividends or a longer period of time to the entire country.

The Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco for tees great increase in the relationship between San Francisco our Northern Territory of Alaska. A recent bulletin of the local Chamber of Commerce contained the following paragraphs:
 Alaska holds many things in store for San Fran ;isco and likewise Alaska looks San Francisco for been and in the best possible condition for ka, it might be well for San Francisco merchants along the lines of trade with Northern Territory.
 "The coal situation in Alaska means much to San Francisco and the development of commercial rea- tions to increase the speed of the time which must eapse before coal from the Alaska fields may se available to this city. In order to bring out coal we must ship merchandise in, and this shipping must De done in large quantities
 The present indications that general busi- activities will begin in Alaska this nearly month earlier than usual. Already the cannery people have started their annual overhauling and improvements in getting in supplies for the season Among the opportunities for development in Alaska gold dredger operations, the production of sugar beets, fertilizer reduction works, and many mining operations.
 Recent reports indicate that things moving forward in the Northern country and the indications are that many hundreds of people will be employed this coming year. Through the establishment of proper trade relations there is an immense field for the consumption of general merchandise of all varie ties and particularly such materials as are supplied by the machinery supply houses of this city. The Territory also offers good field for professional such doctors, dentists, etc.

An "unfavorable" balance of trade for the UT ,d States is bound to come in the long run as ut of our creditor position in the world and "a circumstance on which should heartily e ,ratulate ourselves is the view taken in the mon y discussion of commerce and finance by the ional Bank of Commerce in New York in its put .ation, Commerce Monthly, for June In part discussion, says:
 '1h the long run our present favorable balance of trade must come to an end as normal conditions in Europe are restored As a consequence of our creditor position, increased shipping and the extension of American banking activities into foreign fields, must in the long run have an 'unfayorable balance of trade. This is good, rather than bad prospect. Three fallacies have been uppermost in the minds of those who fear it: CD that an unfavor- able balance of trade must be met by corresponding export of gold; t2) that an unfavorable balance of trade deprives do- mestic producers of necessary part of the home market ,and (S) that the war has so expanded domestic production that we cannot absorb 1t at home, and must therefore resort to unusual methods to mar ket the excess abroad No fear could be more idle than the first. We now have too much gold Further a creditor country with 'unfayorable balance of trade, is in an especially strong position to control gold movements, shown by Great Britain be- fore the The second fear is likewise idle. The prospective unfavorable balance of trade is merely the other side of an in-
 
 third fear rests a yet more fundamental faaoys A general overproduction is i'm possible. Maladjustment, rather than over production is probem-excessiye pro- ductive. Capacity in some lines, and under production in others Production and con- sumption,os if rightly balanced, expand to- gether. Great producers afford to be greats consumers. x The remedy proposed by a means of averting unfavorable blance of trade is extensive foreign invest ment, putting foreigners in funds with which to purchase products. This, in any case, could have temporary results only, since it would increase at compound interest the debt of the outside ~world to us, and make greater the ultimate success of goods coming to For the next few years extensive foreign investments necessary but for reason of different kind. It Is necessary for us to continue lending to Europe and sending an excess of exports to her, because of her present weakness and exhaustion, but not because of our need for a market. Our domestic market has become richer and better market in precise proportion to our in creased producinA power, and to our income from existing foreign investments
