 To begin with, The Empire welcomes fair and frank criticism such this workingman indulges It likes it.
 The editor of The Empire a constant reader of MT Posts Public for years and has always found much in it and it's editor to admire. He has agreed in the main with MT. Posts viewpoint. But MT Post is and always has been radical, has Mir Bryan others who have advocated radical changes MT. Post is of active sympathies and he has always been the champion of the under dog and advocate of the free exercise of speech in what it is offered how fallacious, wheth CT he agrees with the speaker He has advocated force and in his Duplication and public utterances far the writer knows has said ought that would cause one to regard him dangerous radical.
 For many years MT Post criticised very harshIy as editor and publicist, by orthodox msts. newspapers and public men, who did not un derstand him This probably in addition his naturally active sympathy with the underdog and those struggling for something better reused in him a sympathy all who unorthodox.
 There is nothing in all this that is dscreditable to Mir Post individual citizen. But it clearly indicates that he is tempermentally and ha bitually unfted to pass evidence in cases where the line is being drawn between dangerous radicals and those who may be simply exercising the Amer- can right of free speech and freedom of political tion. The man who passes on the question of deport ing aliens from the United States should be able weigh the and the law with judicial and prac ticed discrimination. Mir Post may be useful ad- 1ocate but he is not satisfactory judge,
 The question who what is responsible for the creation of dangerous radicals is not in volved in the matter at all. It would be well hold inquest while the city is burning to dis cover why do not provide against the costly and unwarraned lack of precautions against fires in this country to permit that to enter into the question of determining whether not shall to whence they alien anarchists and destroyers government who are in the country. Let us put the fire out first.

ABOUT MIR. POST AND OTHER THINGS

Commenting upon an editorial in The Empir which contended that Assistant Secretary of LabC Louis F. Post is not proper person to pass upo the question of deportng dangerous alien radica from the un1ed States, Alaskan laboring ma writing to The Empire, calls attention to the fac that MT Post for sixteen the editor of u Public, d single tax magazine and advocate of va ious reforms before he appointed to his preseI position on the recommendation of less a ma than William J Bryan The writer continues: ..s Mir Post can hardly be called Radi- cal in any sense-unless you are willing to call MT. Bryan radical also. They hold very much the same views on questions of public policy, and it may be said in a gen eral way that they belong to the same school of thought. You must certainly re- s member that William J. Bryan was con sidered a radical in some quarters-and it does not, require lively imagination to guess the quarters when he ran for Pres dent in 1896, as well as in subsequent years Bear in mind, please that do hold brief for certain elements of dis content. such as bomb throwers and as sassins, Reds, any others wishing to change our form of government or even our economic policy. excepting by constitutional means through the ballot box. As long as people choose their representatives by ballot and peaceable means they can have no grounds to advocate force Mr Post never has advocated force, but he advocated the free expression of opinion in all such ques tons coming within the domain of govern ment, whether municipal, state or national The normal radical, like the heretic is an absolutely necessary "evl' under any and all forms of government under the sun The science of government cannot stand still-there must be continued evolution progressing forward. Repression, no mat ter how rigorous, has yet settled question in which the great masses of people are yitaly interested, either in Amer fca or anywhere else the world over The people will finally triumph. And it has been shown repeatedly that the longer justice is denied them the cruel is their revenge not only the guilty but the innocent as well.

DEPRECIATION IN FOREIGN
 EXCHANGE

The depreciation ill foreign exchange is not due merely to the heavy trade bal ances. declares the National Bank of Com merce ill New York in the December issue of its magazine, Commerce Monthly. It IS also due to the fact that foreign moneys are depreciated at home. The gold standard has been suspended in most European countries, and the money is merely ire deemable paper. No normal exchange con ditions can be expected until the gold standard is restored.
 ''How far the exchange rates will fall, when they will recover, how rapidly they will recover-these are questions to which no one can give confident answers" the bank says. Ut is the general expectation that so long as the heavy excess of imports continues for the European countries, their exchanges will go lower. On the othe hand, there are some observers who express the opinion that much of this has alread. been discounted in the existing exchang, rates by short selling, and that the demanC from these short sellers themselves will take up the new supply of foreign exchange growing out of the exports for a consider able period. Other observers, however maintain that the general tendency oi Speculation has been bullish rather than bearish This view is strongly buttresscC by statistical arguments. the long time loans to Europe in the past year fall far short of the balance of Europe's current debt to the outside world, and speculation of one kind or another must have absorbed the difference, either by buying exchange, or by letting balances accumulate ill Euro pean banks, or by withholding exchange from the market, and allowing 'open ac- counts to run. There would thus be an enormous volume of exchange hanging over the market Definite prediction is danger ous where so many uncertainties exist

engaged in the trade, the deadly floating trap, and the practically uncontrolled stream fishing. Nineteen hundred and eighteen was banner export year. The salmon pack for 1919 will probably not exceed 50 per cent of that of 191S Streams which few years ago teemed with spawn ing salmon now appear almost barren.
 "Our fish must be afforded better pro lection. l am in favor of transferring the entire conduct of the fisheries to the ter ritory, so that governing laws may be en- acted by men familiar with local condi- tions''
 The provision contained in Delegate Grigsby's bill for a repeal of the license tax levied by congress, the repeal to be eff fective Jan. l, 1921, is of doubtful value. The next session of the territorial legisla- ture does not meet until almost four months later than that date It is possible that the first session might be unable to reach an agreement on license law Stranger things have happened. The present con trol should not be abatcd until there is aIl- other system provided for and there will D, no opportunity to enact controlling legis- tion by the territorial legislature prior tc that time.

INVESTIGATION A PARODY

That the investigation being carried out by the committee of the German na- tional assembly is largely a farce is charg- ed by Hjalmar Granting, owner and editor of the Stockholm Social Demokraten. Af- ter visit to Berlin and study of the pro |ceedings of the parliamentary investigation committee, Mir. Granting wrote to his pa per calling them parody"
 He says that the commission has now Iadjourned indefinitely after standing hum- bly lowing, hat in hand, before its pre- revolutionary masters. It evidently never thot of calling on him who, during the divine right era, ranked even above Luden- dorff and Hindenburg.
 Everything" he continues, 'indi- cates that the old spirit is raising its head more impudently than ever. We can hear beforehand the furious protests when the allies some day, tired of this farce, demand the extradition of the culprits for a real trial by real Investigating committee who will stand before humanity as a moral judge to brand those guilty according to each ones part in the most terrible disas- ter that has ever befallen humanity in civilized times"

GRIGSBY'S FISH BILL

The bill recently introduced by Dele gate Grigsby relative to the control and regulation of fisheries is merely designed to transfer such regulation and control from the hands of the national lawmaking body to the territorial legislature. The ar guments for or against such a transfer are those for or against full territorial form of government.
 It must be admitted that the control of this industry under federal regulation has not been as largely successful as should have been possible and the result is seen in the present decline in value of produc- tion. While it is true that the vastness of the territory, the diversity of its interests, and the diversity of its problems which must be solved before real prosperity can be achieved, all mitigate against the es- tablishment of perfect control of fisheries by territorial legislative bodies, it is at least not too much to expect and the North is justified in believing that the territory can handle the fisheries better thru men hay ing primary knowledge of conditions than the national congress can legislate for the same industry lacking even the primary knowledge which most Alaskans possess.
 Governor Riggs, in his last annual re- port says:
 "The fishing industry has now become probably the most important industry of coastal Alaska. Canneries, salteries, and cold storage plants are springing up on every hand, but it is feared that the enor- nous catches of late years will soon result in noticeable depletion of the fisheries. There have always been lean years and fat years, but the lean years are becoming more lean and the fat years not so fat. At tention has been brot by those net particu- larly interested in the conservation of our sea resources to the fact that more and more fish are being yearly exported, but they do not draw attention at the same time to the greater number of fishing de- vices, the larger and more numerous craft

country, producing high grade gold-bear- ing ore, can only be reached in the winter season. The Tolovana districts crying need is for better transportation facilities There isn't district in the interior that couldn t use many times the money which can be allotted to it under the present appropria- tion system. Parts of the Third and much of the Second divisions face the same con ditions. In the First division, territorial and federal road commissions expend money opening up parks. If our informa- tion is correct, we have been informed that one such has been constructed recently out of Ketchikan.
 The Citizen realizes that it is practic- ally impossible for the territorial govern ment to provide funds for all the roadwork needed in this and other interior districts. We realize that goodly portion of the work must be done under the direction and management of federal officials and with money appropriated by the federal govern ment But The Citizen does believes that the territory could and should do more than lit had done heretofore. There has been too much jockeying with the road system for political purpose. We do not contend that even our own representatives have been entirely free from such practice In fact the admission made by Senator Heck man that he was ignorant of our real need for roads until he came into the interior and found it out for himself, might well be an indication that our representatives have failed to make the situation as it exists turnout the Fourth division clear to thcil colleagues from the other divisions Wherever the fault may lie, the fact re mains that money is being expended or roads in southeastern Alaska where they are not vitally needed for development al time when the sections isolated iron water communication cannot get sufficient funds to construct even pack trails to pre- vent the extinction of the mining industry Officials say that funds from the forest re- serve must be expended in the distric wherein they are situate. We'll and good spend it there, but there should be some way of apportioning the funds so that tho territory could expend more money iron it's own funds in divisions and districts where the forest reserve fund is not avail able It can't be done under the co-opera tive road law enacted by the last legisa ture

 Moreover, if the railroad is to be fully used for the development of the resources of the territory it must be supplemented by trails and wagon roads," The interior is pri- marily the land of the prospector and min- CT.
