Break in Alaskan Cable
Would Handicap President

These three Alaskan. radio stations
are maintained by the Navy at Cor
dova. at Ketchikan, and at Sitka. OF
these three stations, however. only
the Cordova station has direct con-
nection with the two land wire sys-
TENS, which serve the interior of
Alaska, although CordCva can inter
communicate by radio with Sitka ard
ketchikan and also with the Signal
Corps radio station at Fairbanks and
with most of the other Army stations
situated at isolated points in the in
terror.
Thus with the President at Fair
banks, at Seward, at Cordova, or at
other points in central Alaska, and
should cable break occur, there
of communication with. the United
States which could be utilized to ad-
vantage-the Ether route between the
Cordova radio station and it's cor
responding station at the Navy Yard
at Puget sound near Seattle.
Over this radio circuit or channel,
some 1000 words of traffic are handled
daily under normal conditions, while
over the Signal Corps cable between
Valdez and Seattle some $4,000 words
under normal conditions, this latter
figure. being the approximate maxi
mum traffic capacity of the existing
cable system.
Under abnormal traffic conditions s,
provided static should not be un-
usually severe, from twenty to thirty
thousand words of traffic can be
passed through space between the
Cordova and Puget sound radio sta
tions within each twenty four hour
interval of time.
Abnormal conditions with respect
to communication traffic between the
United States and Alaska will pre-
vail during the Presidents visit to
that territory, and obviously the
problem of successfully handling
these communications will be a diff
cult one. especially If a cable break
should occur at this time.

Guevara, newly elected resident COM

Commissioner Guevara hopes that
the American people generally, and

Filipinos' desire for independence,
just as he has appealed to his own
people to appreciate the pioneer work
Of Americans in the Philippines.
He comes out unequivocally on the
question of the investment of Amert-
can capital In the islands, stating that
he dpes not consider American capital
as foreign" and that it Is doubly
welcome.
Practically speaking, American
capital is not to be considered for
eign' in the Philippines, whatever
might be the political status of the
islands," he says. american capital
ought to be regarded as Filipino or
national. because. as the Americans
have chosen these islands as the CEN
ter Of their trade transactions, by
the law of nature they have to sym
pathize with us in our ambitions and
aspirations.

THE Filipinos have no cause to fear
the American people. The individual
opinion of Americans whether states
