crease in the United States visible

on the market here was more or less
offset by some transactions to wheat

Corn and oats were ruled by the ac-

uphold prices.

ONE OF ALASKA GOOD FRIENDS
 RETIRED

The result of the Republican primary cleo ton in Indiana on Tuesday will be somewhat of a disappointment to most Alaskans. Sen ator Harry $. New chairman of the Senate committee on Territories and lnsular Eos sessions was a defeated candidate for re-nom- ination. He had evidenced such decided h. torest in the advancement of this Territory and sought to. accomplish various reforms that would tend to the development and eXpanslon of Alaska, that his retirement next March Will be a source of general regret.
 Had Senator New been re-nominated ms election would have been assured With the chairmanship of the committee that has to do largely with Alaska's problems, and with the supp0rt of President Harding, it was fully eN- pected that Senator New would be able to ac- comDIsh great things for the Territory. And he may vet succeed before his term expires. There are a couple of measures now pending before Congress, that may not be finally acted md is the author of bill that among other Fall visit Alaska in August With the force of the administration back of one of these measures, like the New bill or Cummins bill, there should be some remedial legislation be- fore the end of the year.
 The retirement of Senator New will mean
  ship of the Territories committee The next ranking member is Senator George P. McLean Republican, of Connecticut. He is just conclud- ino his second term and will be a candidate for re-nomination. The next in order for the Chair manship is Senator Cummins, of Iowa, who has taken decided interest in Alaska affairs and is the uathor of a bill that among other things has for it's object the operation of steam CTS by the government to connect Pacific coast ports with Seward and Anchorage term inals of the Alaska Rairway.
 Albert J. Beveridge was a member of the Senate during the administration of President Isft He w.': hr remembered as tn aN'hcr of measure that sought to give Alaska a com mission form of government, which brought upon him much unfavorable criticism. But possibly with the passing of time and the de- velopment of more progressive ideas Senator Beveridge will have different ideas about the manner Tn which the affairs of the Territory should be managed In a recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post there is much favor able comment on the candidacy of the former Senator who is regarded as man of tile highest type of American statesmanship So, after all, it may be that he will develop into a practical and influential friend of Alaska.

a year or so ago, made special effort to build up sentiment in this country in behalf of cancellation of debts due the United States from European countries. At the present time he is writing series of articles from Geona and is having them published in America,
 Evidently with the expectation that he will arouse the sympathes of Americans and per haps appeal to their vanity, Sir George as serts that never was the human race exposed to greater danger that relief depends upon the Genoa Conference and that no nation can escape the consequences of it's decisions, the inference being that by refusal to send rep resentatives to Genoa the United States must take responsibility for any disaster the hu- man race may suffer. Notwithstanding the of fcial decision that this country will send no representative to the Conference, Sir George Paish expresses the opinion that as soon as Europe is ready to take whatever measures the situation demands in order to extricate herself from the danger that threatens her, American participation in the work of Europ- can reconstruction will no longer be refused.
 This in an indirect statement that America has refused to do what could reasonably bel expected in the reconstruction of Europe. The fact is that since the signing of the Armstce the UOVofD1noUJ illlu DIINdlc luItlS0bo III IiN United States have extended credit to EurOpe1 to the extent of eight billion dollars. The Unitd States Government has deferred the col lection of either principal or interest on the eleven billion dollar debt owed by European governments to this government The United States, more generously than any other coun- t1v, extended aid to starving Russians the States took the lead in conference of nations interested in the Pacific resulting i'll settling numerous questions which were possible causes of war; and brought about an agreement for reduction of arnaments with enormous saving of public expenditures for all of the nations concerned.
 The United States, not only out of its ma tplial resources but also by it's moral eNanr!9, has done all that any reasonable person could ask toward reconstruction of Europe and pro motion of peace and prosperity throughout the world. In the face of this record, Sir George Paish has the insolence to tell the people o1 the United States that they have refused to a;1 in tho reconstruction of Europe and ull- do,takcs to advise them that in order to mann fest a cooperating spirit they must enter |" conference in Europe chiefly political Tn Its ,o,,,,oses and concerned almost entirely Wl1h r5ropean problems No thoughoful Amerlcan shonld he misled by the articles he IS now dls- son,ina+no with the aid of American news papers.

INSOLENT PROPAGANDA

The persistency with which foreign propa- gandists urge the United States to become en- tangled in European political affairs ought to serve as an effective warning to the people of the country to be on their guard.
 There is reason to believe that by the very bodness of their attempt to mold public op- inion here these British spokesmen will de- feat their own purposes; nevertheless, it will be the part of wisdom for Americans to an- swer through the press and on the rostrum the misleading arguments put forth in the effort to cause the United States to depart from it's traditional policy of independence from Eur opean alliances.
 One of the latest of the British spokesmen to lay his views before American readers is Sir George Paish, who, on visit to this country
