ALASKAN TRADE
SHOWS GROWTH
IN PAST YEAR
Preliminary Estimates OF Col
lector Mcbride for Year
1923 Being Prepared.

Alaskan trade during the calendar
wear of 1923 amounted, in round
figures, to $95, 100000, according to
preliminary estimates CT J. G. Nc
Bridge, CoIlcctar Of Customs for the
Tarlytorv. Mr.. Mcbride is now en-
gagged in preparation of his annual
report for last year and final ana
complete figures will not be avail
able until carly next month.
The e5timat..d tosal exceeds the
TcIrito1y's 1922 trade by between
$9,000,C00 and $l0,co0Cc0, indi-
eating a growth in business of ap-
proximately II pof cent. Increases
in both exports and imports are
estimated.
Alaskan products exported last
year are estimated to hsV. valua-
ton of approximately $30,000,000.
Figures for the first ton months Of
the year show virtually $29,000,000
in experts. It is estimated that the
total exports for the year will be
arolnd $35,000.COC.
These figures indicate that the
business of the Territory last year
was larger than in any calendar
year since 1920. and was but some
$4,000 900 or $14 100000 less than
fer that year and 1919. 1t is be-
lieved to have exceeded the total
trade Of 1921 by almost 35,000,-

industries have made in recovering

COMMUNISM MAY SOON DEvELOPE
into RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE, CLAIM

MOSCOW, Jan. 23.-Rituals and
ceremonies for christenings, marriag-
es and funerals are gradually creep
ing into the life of the Russian COM
munists, and some students of Rus
sian affairs see in this tendency a
drifting of Communism into what
they say it inevitably must become,
a religion.
There is no pure Communism
practiced in the daily life of Russia
today, not even among members OF
the Communist party. 1t rests on
a theory, as an ideal toward which
certain enthusiasts are striving, just
as religions of tho past have re-
mained theories and only exception,
ally have been practiced.
