in Juneau District.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. - The
Army Engineers has recommended
to Congress as being against chan
mel improvements near Juneau, AL
aska, and condemned three projects,
Gastineau Channel, Hawk Inlet
Portage and Oliver Inlet Portage.
The District Engineer pronounced
the Hawk Inlet and oliver Inlet
projects not worth the excessive cost
but that Gastineau Channel through
Canoe Pass is more justifiable since
it is less expensive and affords a
shorter and safer route to juneau,
Alaska.
Maj. Gen. Taylor, Chief of En-
gineers, approved the declaration of

ECONOMIC PLANS.
in WORLD GIVES
B RIGHT FUTURE
Optimism Is Warranted De-
clares Secretary of Treas
ury Andrew Mellon.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IS. - Early
accomplishment of complete world
wide economic stabilization is fore
seen by Secretary Mellon.
Both at home and abroad, the Sec
retary declared in his annual report
submitted to Congress today, devel.
opments of the last year have been
so satisfactory that the way is
now clear for more complete world
recovery" Mr.. Mellon believed the
underlying factors of the business
situation here were fundamentally
sound and warrant optimism for
future"
Reviewing the events which had
influenced conditions for the better.
he mentioned, with respect to tho
United States. restoration of conf
dence. tax reduction and reform, re
moval of various factors of uncer-
tainty and instability, steady employ
ment in farm and factory, and
generally augmented purchasing
power.
Good Oversee Outlook.
Across the seas, he saw the i'm
provement reflected by II foreign
debt settlements here and mum
Der Of interallied funding arrange
ments, the return of dozen ma
tions to the gold standard, revival
Of industrial activity with its con-
sequent employment, the reorgani-
zation of the currency systems of
nearly all of the smaller powers,
and the promised benefits of the
LocarnO agreement. All these, he
said, lend support to the optimistic
view regarding the economic rehab
of Europe"
Tax Revision.
Mr.. Mellon suggested that the re-
vision of taxes promised at this
session of Congress was feeding
new stimulus to business, but he
entered a complaint against exemp-
tions proposed by the House Ways
and Means Committee. These mar
rowed the foundation of the taxing
system, he thought, declaring it
should be broader if the tax pro-
gram were to be successful in times
Of depression as we'll as in days
of prosperity.
Public Economy.
While the Secretary saw no ap-
preaching cloud on the economic
sky. he warned against expansion
and speculative tendencies. The
of public economy has had
its effect. as has the public debt
retirement program, he said. but
there is some tendency for the con-
suming public to buy every con-
ceivable commodity 'on time and
future earnings" On the
other hand, he found business men
their affairs with re-
straint and caution in order that the
prosperity may not bring on care
lessness.
at is hoped, furthermore" he add
ed, that the speculative tendency in
real estate in some communities
may not proceed to the point of
undermining the spirit Of caution in
business"
