offered the loan in London,
where it was sixteen times over
subscribed in fifteen ] minutes.
Mr.. Hoover seemed to think
| that the German government
should. guarantee something to
the American farmer consumer,
or, in other words, embark upon
a policy of price fixing.
AS that policy is vicious for
any country, we may be CRATE
full that it proved unnecessary.
Potash is used principally by our
tcotton and truck farmers, and
scarcely at all on the great
wheat and corn farms. It is
necessary for the fruit product,
where nitrates take care of the
plant growth. 1t will never
be strangling monopoly be-
cause there are conceivable sub
stitutes, like stable manure and
some of the potash-containing
products of our own packers. To
take simple parallel, there is a
monopoly Of anthracite which is,
as the miners are beginning to
discover, not monopoly of fuel.
Here is a case where Mr..
Hoover's zeal did not prove help
full. He can also wisely let the
Brazilian coffee industry alone.
Valorization, amounting to price
fixing, is uneconomic, but the
credit of the state of San Paulo
is good enough for Wall Street,
and if the Brazilians choose to
encourage the growth of coffee
in Kenva and other British Cen
trail African colonies they will,
in process of time, put their own
monopoly out of business. 1t
may be that Mr.. Hoover has an
exaggerated idea of the value of
government help. There is all
the difference In the world be-
tween the starving inhabitants
of Belgium in war time and the
self-reliant people of the United
States today.
Wall Street needs Washington
advice but not Washington con-
troll on the loans it makes to
foreign borrowers. Manifestly it
should not be used as a club for
the collection of foreign debts.
1t can cooperate helpfulfy with
Mr.. Kellogg or Mr.. Mellon. But
Mr.. Hoover is not really neces-
sary in such councils, and need
have no hesitation in devoting all
his valuable ability to the bust,
ness of his own department.

LITTLE BROWN
CHURCH BREAKS
WEDDING RECORD

An Iowa newspaper reports
that the Little Brown Church
near Nashua in that state has
again broken its own record with
29O weddings during 1925, &C
cording to word given out by
Rev. George Hanna, pastor.
From all parts of the nation
couples have come to the church
in the vale" to have their we'd
dings performed, says a dispatch
from Nashua today. :
Some of the couples bring their
own ministers but the Congre-
gational minister at Nashua who
is also pastor of the Little Brown
Church, a Congregational church
since it's organization, way back
In the late fifties, has the lions
share of the weddings.
The present pastor is the. Rev.
George Hanna. An erroneous
report gained considerable circu-
lation that the Rev J. Raymond
Grant, recently of the Faulkner
M. E. church in a suburb of Bos-
ton, Mass, was to be the pastor
of this little church when he as
sumes his new duties as pastor
of the M. E. church here, but
this is mistake. It has been

ALASKA LETTER
Chitina, Alaska,
Jan. 18th. 1926

| Jan. 18th, 1926.
The Editor Askov American,
| Askov, Mimi.
Dear Sir:
The winter up here this year
is mot quite as severe as last
although we have had plenty of
snow and will probably get the
rest later on. All the miners,
trappers and trail men are in
town now, and time seems to
hang heavy on their hands dur
ing their inforced inactivity.
During the long winter nights
here, politics and uplift is the
|favorite subject of conversation.
On most things we cannot agree,
but on the proposition that work
is a terrible thing we are all
unanimous
An actual case of spiritualism
is being told around here nova
days. A fellow by the name
of Ale Jenkins lost white horse
last summer it having strayed
into the wilderness. The other
night after eating a heavy dinner
of crabs, etc., a man here
dreamed that a white. horse
chased him, and from his dis
cription of the horse the next
day it appeared that it was the
same horse that strayed away
last summer. Of course he was
severely criticized for not
awakening some one so the horse
could have been secured. I'm
doubtedly this horse will be seen
again, and restored to it's proper
owner, but at the present time
it is still wandering about.
The Siwashes are not faring
so well this winter, food and
work is rather scarce, and so far
squaws have not been able to.in-
vigorate their worthy husbands
sufficiently to give them the
necessary ambition to work, but
| fear things are about arriving
at the breaking point. A GER
tain Russian Missionary has been
installing religion into the ma
tives here lately, and there is a |
marked improvement evident.
1t appears that some of the SER
mons lasted so far into the night
that the ones who were working
were not able to get up in the
morning early enough to go to
work thereby jeopardizing their
jobs, but after all, everything has
it's drawbacks.
The movement of copper ore
goes on the same as ever, the |
snow is deep down in the snow
belt and the large rotary snow
plows are opening up the track |
for all the trains. During the
next two months it will be a |
question whether the mighty |
snow plows pushed by three large

ing day.
The Pine to Palm" tourists
will prove to the South that the
old barrier of the northern win
ter has been eliminated by the
great increase in the mileage of
improved highways, records of
the trip already showing that
neither temperature nor snowfall
in any way handicapped the
caravan.
Members of the party were
entertained by Twin Cities bust
ness men at banquet at the
st. Paul Hotel at which the
speakers emphasized the unique
advantages of the northern lake
region as an outdoor playground,
summer or winter.
Already famous as the bread
and butter state, Minnesota is
destined to attain even greater
worldwide recognition by con-
solidation of the cooperative
creamery organizations of Wis
consin and Iowa with the Mime
sofa association. Arrangements
are being completed for such a
union which will create the lar
gest cooperative butter market
ing organization In the world
handling more than 500 of the
550,OO0,00O pounds of butter
annually produced in these three
states.
Even without increased men,
bership, the consolidated organi-
zation lis assured of handling
annually more than 10O,OOO,OOO
pounds of butter marketable for
approximately $50,000,00O.

/ note that the Wall Street
Journal scolds me for the sug-
gestion of the Administration to
American bankers that they
should not make loans to the
foreign monopolies which con-
troll the price of import products
to American consumers.
The particular loans which
the Wall Street Journal seems
to favor are those to the potash
combination and the coffee COM
bination | also note that they
realize that potash is used prin-
cipally by our cotton and truck
farmers and scarcely at all by
the great wheat and corn far
mers." No mention is made of
the numerical Importance of the
coffee consumers.
The Government owes some
considerable responsibility to
safeguard the interests of the
general consuming public. It
appears to me that the farm con-
sumner of potash and the house
hold consumer of coffee are i'm
portant enough to gain definite
recognition in any consideration
of this responsibility. 1t was
primarily to protect these con-
sumers that this advice was
given but it might be added that
the commissions which might be
collected on floating such loans
would be no compensation to the
American banking community
for the justifiable criticism
which would come to them from
the American potash and coffee
consumers when these consumers
became aware that American
capital was being placed at the
disposal of these agencies through
which prices were held against
our own people and which if
located upon our own soil would
be a violation of our laws.
Following is the Editorial pub
lished in the Wall Street Journal
of January 1, 1926 on which Mr..
Hoover made the foregoing COM
ment:.
Mr.. HOOyer's Helpfulness.
No country in the world could
boast more jealous Secretary of
Commerce than Mr.. Hoover. He
\ made a great name for himself
as director and dictator in Bel
GUM before we entered the war,
and he was distinguished fig
ure in world engineering projects
before then. We can be CRATE
full for his services, even to the
point of begging him not to over
burden himself. We have, in
Secretary Mellon, man in
charge of our national finances
second to none; and Mr.. Kellogg
should be able to run the State
Department to the satisfaction
not only of President Coolidge
but of the American people.
In the recent past Mr.. Hoo
yer directed his opposition to
the proposed financing in New
York of $4O,DOO.O00 loan to the
German Potash Syndicate. some
thing of monopoly in its way.
