In many places local chambers of com merce or associations of manufacturers have agreed with the Legion to have a job for every homecoming soldier and sailor.
 In commenting upon the nationwide cooperation of the American Legion, Ma jor General William G. Haan. assistant chief of staff, in charge of the war depart ment's unemployment program, says:
 ''Today the American Legion has be- come an aggressive factor in getting jobs for our fighting men. They are extending the scope of their work so very rapidly that now this influence is felt in every state in the Union. While the original plan was for the members to cooperate in employment work, in many communities it has been necessary for them to take over the entire burden, because of the withdrawal of other agencies from the field In every case they are meeting with the greatest success, and eventually the Legion will be the great standby of the soldier who needs assistance of any kind.
 'If anyone still has any doubt in his mind as to the present attitude of the mass of discharged soldiers, I would advise him to go to any post meeting of the American Legion and say something against the gov ernment. advocating bolshevism, anarchy, or any other form of destruction. He will then quickly find that the ex-service man has not yet forgotten the art of fighting v

LEGIOE'S NEW JOB

Eliminating the ''Work stacker" is the new job which the American Legion has taken upon itself, acting in conjunction with the war depmtmeut's chain of em- plomcnt bureaus turnout the country. This type of cN-seryice man, while not num- erous, Is occasionally serious detriment to the work of placing eX-soldiers and sailors in satisfactory jobs Their attitude of shift lessness after getting the place causes dis satisfaction among the employers who are really trying to help, and gives black eye to other service men who still need work.
 Practically all the posts of the Legion now have employment committees. In some cases these committees have taken over all the task of finding jobs for their fellow ser vice men. In other localities they cooper ate with the war department. In Bridge port, Conn.,, where the work stacker has been a serious evil, the Legion keeps a spe- cial file of such cases of repeating in jobs. As a rule d heart-to-heart talk from com rade in arms has been enough. In other cases a refractory man has been denied the services of the employment office alto gether.
 In Detroit the Legion works also with the police. Where an ex-soldier in uniform is taken up for some minor offense, like begging or peddIng, probationary sys- tenn has been adopted Instead of sending these men to jail the authorities have con sented to put them on probation with the American Legion. This practice has had a very salutary effect, and Detroit s problem of putting to work every returned fighting man is no longer so serious.
 In practically all states, the employ ment committee of the Legion now makes a canvas of all the employers. Wherever jobs are offered returned soldiers, the en- ployers are told that the Legion expects to keep in touch with the men in places, in order to see that they give satisfactory service. If this is not forthcoming the Legion gives such men short shrift. On the other hand, the deserving ex-service man who needs employment will have his case persisted in until he is placed. Work slackers have to appear before committee of their comrades.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

To its readers and the people of the Panama Valley generally The Citizen wishes a happy and prosperous New Year in the belief that the year of 1920 will be brighter and more generally prosperous for all of Alaska than has any for the past three years
 In extending you our greeting, we de- sire also to thank you for the support you have given to the paper during the year that has just closed. We may perhaps be pardoned for believing that we at least partially earned that support, otherwise it would hardly have been gren so freely and heartily
 It has always been the object of The Citizen 10 give to the people of Interior AL aska the best paper possible within the limitations placed upon it by conditions. Duriua the year of 1919 we increased our daily telegraph service almost double and no paper in the territory has more ex- tended service than we now offer to our reader The full 2Ahou pony service of the A~so.atcd Press is being sent to The Citizen every day in the week with the ex- ceptiou ol Sunday, During 1920 it is the hope of The Citizen to better it's service as much as was done in 1919.
 Ou AcW Year resolution is to give our paIou~. whether advertiser or subscriber, full service in every respect; to work for those things that will advance Alaska and to fight that which we know to be to its deuuncut For every dollar we recieve, we intend to give an honest dollars worth of service. If we do those things, we do not believe that We shall york in vain.
 Again WIG wish you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

HOOVER FOR PRESIDENT

David Starr Jordan's announcement that he is for Hoover for President first, last and all the time reflects sentiment that is apparently growing stronger in the United States every day. It is significant, too, that it is increasing in spite of Mr. Hoover and not because of any activity of his for securing the nomination. He is do- ing everything possible to discourage it and recently reiterated an earlier statement made by him that he has no political aspir- |ations of any kind and does not want to be presidential candidate.
 David Lawrence, who is probably one Iof the most famous of the Washington cor respondents of today, says that there is a |well-defined independent movement thru out the United States which is growing stronger each day for Mir. Hoover's nomin- ation. He says that the demand of the hour seems to be for progressive man for President, and one that will be independent of professional politicians. The republican contention that the democratic party is not as efficient as the republican party, he says, has been largely disproven to most business men by the record of the present republican congress, which he says, has demonstrated that it has no definite leader ship but is simply an alliance of factions in opposition to President Wilson and one that has nothing in common as far as poli- cies for government or legislation is con- cerned As seen by MT. Lawrence, while Mr. Hoover would get the democratic nom- nation, or endorsement, if he should be ad- vanced as an independent candidate, on his record as consistent Wilson supporter, he would likewise get strong support from the rank and file of the republican party among which the sentiment for his candi- dacy seems apparently as strong as among the opposition party.

who have come as missionaries of unrest rather than as emigrants from oppression. Organized as it is, the work of this division is cumulative and the results of its work will be increasingly manifest
 ''At the same time it is clearly recog- nized that the present unrest and tendency toward radicalism arise from social and economic conditions that are of greater consequence than the individual agitator And intelligent investigation of the agita- tor, of his work, and of the results of his work therefore demands and under standing of social and economic con ditions as whole. With no social or econ omic theories to exploit, but with simple desire to work intelligently and effectively, the division is steadily training group of its agents to take in account these larger factors at the same time that they are in lvestigating individuals The results of this policy are already apparent.
 As far back as last May the attorney general urged congress, in letter written to Chairman Johnson of the house commit tee to enact law by which dangerous aliens could be handled. He described in detail two groups of aliens, one citizens of an enemy country who were in detention camps and the other citizens of other for eign countries both of whom he asserted could not be touched under peace time legislation on the statute books and who would be allowed to go free when peace should be declared. Regarding this he said :: In the two groups of aliens last described there are many who acted as official spies of the central powers, bomb -pIotters. enemy soldiers and sailors, official propa- gandists, as we'll as large number who have criminal records in this country of a serious character: In my judgment these people ought not to be allowed to remain here"
 Despite the urgency of the Attorney Generals recommendation, the measure asked for has not been concluded. It has passed the lower house but is still under consideration by the senate.

SPECULATION AND CREDIT

Commenting on the recent high level of money rates, Commerce Monthly in it's Money Market discussion holds that this came largely from speculative activities which overburdened a credit situation al ready strained by unusual demands from commercial enterprises. The cure, it de- clares is not an extension of credit facili- ties but an arousing of public sentiment against speculation.
 "Since the conclusion of hostilities a year ago." it says, "credit demands on banks have increased steadily. Since mid summer this increase has been rapid This situation has resulted in part from the un- usual volume of credit needed at prevailing high price levels to finance commercial en- |terprises and the marketing of crops The lateness of certain crops, the slow move ment of grain, strikes at ports, and gen eral industrial unrest have tended to in crease both the duration and the volume |Of financial assistance required from banks
 "At the same time there had develop led vast amount of speculation-not in stocks alone. but in land, cotton, grain and in commodities generally over the whole country. The undue growth of this general spirit of speculation threatened a seri- ous impairment of the contry's credit position, and a point was approached where the further extension of the banking position to finance speculative activity be- came inexpedient. In the fact of this scarcity of funds, and in consequence of it's own over el-extended position, the stock mar ket has undergone severe liquidation
 "1n view of the speculative spirit widespread over the country, the develop ment of public sentiment against the undue extension of speculation and possibly further advances in federal reserve dis count rates, may be necessary to restore normal conditions. It would seem to be be clear that any permanent relief of the credit situation must come thru reduc- tion in the demands for speculative pur- poses generally, rather than in further extension of the supply of credit"
