NAVY RADIO RATES
 ARE TO BE REDUCED
 BEGINNING MARCH

Wireless rates for both commercial nery stations in Southeastern and Southwestern Alaska, will be reduc- ed 60 cents effective March 1, ac- cording to adyices received today at the local radio office.
 The reduction in rates do not apply to regular traffic sent from Juneau to Seattle, by radio, or in fact any messages by radio which parallel the United States Military System. The reduction is for can neries or other radio stations send ing direct by wireless none of the business being routed by the cable system.
 For instance, Port Althorp has had rate of $1.70 and the new rate will be $1.10 from there to Seattle, via Astoria
 A new schedule is announced by the Director of Naval Commissions of Washington, D. C., and the date of March l. for the reduction, is set so that all canneries and stations may be advised in plenty of time,
 Canneries and radio stations west of Seward also come in for the re duction in rates. This reduction will mean much to the traffic as during the summer months a considerable volume of business is handled by radio.

GERMAN WAoEs AND PRIcEa

German wages at the present time
are reported to be about s. In gold
weekly. or roughly one-half OF the
prewar normal. German prices In
age around 20 per cent above the pre-
war normal. The German Industrial
interests seem TO have been able 10
deceive the German workmen with the
deprecated German mark, says Wal
the German workmen may be get
ting five or six times what they were
before the war, but In terms Of what
the money will buy, they are getting
far less. II Is a strange thing that
people have come so TO worship money
that they will allow themselves to be
deceived. AS long as German money
has a fiuctuating gold value. it is
likely that the United States will find
Germany a very hard competitor to
beat. With currency of uncertain
yalue. IL Is possible TO make labor do
more work for less return than would
otherwise be the case. Germany will
eventually pay for the war by the self
denial Of her laboring people, self
denial enforced by a manipulated cur.
ency system.
