MONEY MARKET

Increased discount rates hardly be expected to do than check further borrowing, according to the National Bank of Commerce in New York, un- til the railroad situation improves so as to permit prompt liquidation of commercial and agricultural credits In it's money market discussions in the July number of it's magazine, Commerce Monthly, the bank declares that the present partial breakdown of transportation, by interfering with the movement of products, has prevented the liquidation of a tre- mendous volume of credits such as is normally eff fected at this season of the year
 During the period from May 1G to June 15, the bank points out, the money market has exper- fenced continued tension which, largely conse quence of the traffic situation, has become pro- nounced dur-s the preceding month. The strain felt credit facilities has been reflected in fur ther general advance in money rates. While some improvement of the traffic situation, mainly poten hal rather than actual, has been accomplished, it erable part of the credit which had been locked up, and traffic conditions be expected to inn prove only slowly. Meanwhile, the credit require ments of crop movement will become pressing in the not distant future.
 Until the railroad situation improves suffic- iently to afford adequate physical basis for the prompt liquidation of commercial and agricultural of the Federal Reserve banks hardly be expected to do than check further bOrrowing thereafter they should be a strong influence in effectng cur tailment of outstanding credit, in preparation for the heavy Autumn requirements"

Cause For Merriment
(Dearborn Independent)


 The peculiar reports from Siberia, as much under veil to developments the Darkest of Africa was, leave certain doubt to Japans aims anese regiments have become affected by the doc trnes of the Bosheviki, whom they fighting, and that of these units badly routed by sedous doctrines that they will operate against their foe.
 At the time, it is reported that Japan does withdraw these units because of the effect of their preachings the population at home, suffer- ing from high prices, food shortage, and from the after effects of severe panic. Among distressed urban populations, Bolshevistc doctrines might gain strong hold
 Japans dilemma is peculiar. Her government, partly democratized but only very partially rests theocracy, type of governmental idea extremely stable while it prevails, but incapable of being bol- stered if it starts to For the ignorant persons imperfectly educated in economics, Bolshev ism is the rainbow leading to the pot of gold. It has the allure of all panaceas.
 In the degree that Japan has progressed too fast, which is in degree, she is susceptible to Bolshevism Unlike America, inhabited for the most part by persons whose political experience goes state inhabited by persons of political experience or very little They likely to believe that they can achieve the millennium by action.
 We worry about the spread of Bolshevistc doc trines here but with very little On the whole though not greatly the English doubt words and prefer performance, and words weigh less with daily.

BOlshevism in the United States
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 None of the large variety of radical political tenets in this country is home grown. Without eX- cepton all introduced by fugitves oppres- sion in foreign lands, who, from mistaken sense of their inoffensiveness, have been permitted to propagate their subversive views and evidently re- ceive weghty support from their parent government at Moscow. Thus Boshevism is spread by boring from within and without.
 It would be the height of imprudence to disre- gard this menace in view of the experience the world has had with the characteristic features of Bosheyism, which extreme bodness and fiendish unscrupulousness, reveling in blood and murder All safeguards of the law must be applied with rigor, and citizens every moment must hold themselves in readiness to suppress attempt to establish regn of terror. There should be city in this country without well-trained Home Guard
 However, public enlightenment must go hand in hand with oppressive measures. An important study at the present time is exposition of the superiority of the institutions of the United States those of any other country. The lesson is not hard convey While the wage classes in other countries live in state of more or less abject poverty every in America, willing to work. has life of decency and comfort. And this is due to institutions safeguarding the rights of rich poor alike. Insanity that would exchange Americanism for Bolshevism go

THE COMMERCIAL AIRPLANE

For more than year it has been ntma ed that airplane service on commercial basis is con templated for Alaska One company has definitely set dates for the inauguration of service from Val deZ to Fairbanks and far North Nome, and has regularly postponed the initial trip from time to time It is still in the field however and at last reports was planning to begin service this Fall.
 Dispatches from Seattle yesterday say repre- sentative of unknown interests leaves that port Thursday to make survey of the field, and if his decision is favorable service will be inaugurated far North Nome. He may may be nected with the first company mentioned
 All suggestions of this nature have been re- ceived with considerable skepticism in many parts of Alaska It is vague but it exists Why is matter of mystery. The field here and financially profitable.
 In other parts of the world the arplane is com ing more and more to the front commercial basis. Returning recently from 8 world tour with the Aeronautical Commission Major Charles J. Gid den on his arrival in New York stated. The United States is asleep on this problem of world aviation When commission the aviation field at Rangoon, Burma, in the latter of March, there landed that field two aeroplanes enroute from London Australia, two Italian aeroplanes enroute Rome to Tokio and one French plane enroute Paris to Saigon. In few days they reached their des- tinations'
 In addition 10 this Major Glidden discovered two commercial lines in operation between Paris and London, making trips each way daily four Chan mel crossings. Each of these carry from 10 to F passengers and valuable express and mail The time of flight is hours against nine by train and steamship There is also a third line doing business between London and Amsterdam doing the business Commercial flights. he discovered, also being made irregular dates from London to points in Belgium. Between Hong Kong and Canton there is a commercial line and another between Hong Kong and Macao, while other commercial lines organizing in Europe India and the Far East The Chinese government has made ten million dollar contract with noted

 Taking it for granted that the Independent IS correct in it's statement, we unhestatlngly aVow that ever more appropriately bestowed on any land under the Names, as general thing are misnomers, wished on unfortunate help- less infant persons towns states or countries ana often become nsurmountabe obstacles But ho name could have fittingly given to this Northland than that meaning Great Country
 Great country it surely is. Great in many things, greatest of all the future which lies before 1t ike the promise of a magic fairyland Decades of in difference neglect, careless administration by ig- norant officials intent only on the policy of the minute giving thought for the future and caring less for it's present welfare, all of these handicaps have failed disodge confidence in Alaska in the minds of those who know and love it.
 Even those who know it best, have but limited conception of potential greatness. The very size prevents any adequate conception of all of its re- sources Yet enough is known to justify its being called Great Country" How much greater 1t will prove to be than the most optimistic now hope prophecy is largely speculation Thou sands miles of unexpored ground lie within its borders Within these four distinct Judicial Divisions, the boundaries of which cannot be accu- rately defined by anyone from personal knowledge, been established only by certain geographi- cal representations
 Hardly week passes but that some source of greatness is uncovered lacking only development increase it's industrial and commercial stature. Here coal field there oil seepages, in many places mineral deposits, gold, both placer and lode, silver, lead tungsten platinum, copper in noun tainous deposits, farms the equal of any under the American Flag, fisheries timber for pulp and paper making, and other purposes, vstas of scenery piled another in scale of lavish profusion not equalled in other country in the world
 The word Alaska" may be pure Eskimo. But if should be proven by some other language shark" to have it's origin in different source, applied to this particular corner of the American continent it would still be interpreted meaning Great Country"

 True, Alaskan conditions offer striking contrast those existing in countries named by Major Gid den. But with transportation facilities here at best makeshift and inadequate, slow in operation and nfrequent in schedule, the establishment of com mercial airplane service should be least as de srable from financial standpoint as in any other part of the world
