VICTORY FOR AMERICAN
IDEALS

This country never faced such a
period of prosperity as appears TO
be ahead of it, says a writer In Uhe
Manufacturer.
And therein lies our great danger.
Can we as a nation keep our head
and not become soft and discon-
tented?
Will we in our quest for more OF
the nimble dollars allow political
soothsayers to undermine our gov
eminent with visionary schemes at
public expense?
Will material prosperity give US
the "swellhead" and cause US to feel
that we are too important" to at
tend to the troublesome little affairs
of government?
If this attitude overtakes us, look
out for trouble. =,
As individuals we are small
POTATOES" in the scheme of economic
development.
But if each individual does his
part to maintain American ideals
and sound conditions in industry
and government, "small potatoes"
will grow into big potatoes and our
national potato crop" disability,
security, prosperity will be on a
safe and enduring basis.
The feat which Colonel Charles A.
Lndbergh accomplished is typically
American. Nothing could better
illustrate our spirit of individual
initiative and enterprise. Every Am
cream might be called pioneer, for
every American has the right to
strike out with his own ideals in
whatever field Of endeavor appeals
to him.
It is this priceless heritage OF
freedom and opportunity for the In
dividual which each of us should
strive to uphold. Our government
should always be maintained on
basis which protects and encourages
the individual and private industry,
rather than on basis which re-
stricts and destroys experiments,
growth and ambition.
Not only was Lindbergh's crossing
of the Atlantic typically American
in its freedom from pomp and cere-
mony, but Lindbergh himself is
symbolical of American ideals. He
had the ability, courage and driving
force to accomplish results in the
face of seemingly insurmountable
barriers.
It is the Endbergh spirit, the
American spirit, which has given US
our wonderful modern conveniences
and comforts.
The development of transconti-
mental railroads, telephones, electric
power, radio, automobiles and our
system Of business, banking and in
surance, while not as spectacular as
Lindbergh's feat, required high
type Of courage, perseverance and
enterprise for their successful ac-
complishment.
Our system Of government which
has given US unparalleled opportuni-
ties, was founded, built up, and is
maintained by men capable of under
standing the advantages to be de-
rived from the fullest encourage
ment of individual initiative and
enterprise.

PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY.

The Wisconsin lawyer who tried
to sell the state of New York TO
the Indians at Quebec for $15,OOo
ought to be in Wall Street. AS a
financier he rather out guesses fonzi
and other dream book-wizards. IL
seems funny, however, that man
from the Middle West should be
able to show the Knickerbockers
how to do things. The original IN
vestors are said to have bought
Manhatten Island from the Indians
for four barrels Of rum. The Quebec
Indians would be getting the whole
state at the same tigure-measured
at bootlegger's figures.

Serious depletion of the North Pacific halibut banks, source of ap- proximately 80 percent of the world'c production of halibut has given the International Fishery Commission grave concern" ac- cording to statement issued recent ly by the Deputy Commissioner of Fisheries of the Department of Com merce, Lewis E. Radcliffe.
 The American and Canadian Com mission, of which the Commissioner of Fisheries, Henry O'Malley is a member, is now considering regula- tions which may be necessary t0 conserve the halibut in these banks, which annually yield about 50,OO0,- % pounds, Mr. Radcliffe said. The closing of some of the banks is be- ing considered because the situa- ! is so serious, he added, pointing out some of the results shown in the report of the Chairman of the Com mission, John P. Babcock, of Vic toria, B. Q.
 The biological side has been care fully checked and studied, MT. Rad cliffe said, and the facts adduced confirm in every respect the appro- hensions felt as to the future supply of halibut in British Columbia ant Alaska waters if the present system of fishing is continued.
