 Say Policy is Unjust
 MT. Ferguson's memorial on the Administrations fisheries policy which is addressed to the President, Congress and Secretary Hoover, says, contrary to the belief of Alaskans at the time of the passage of the White Fish Bill, "The Secretary of Con- merce has seen fit by unfair and dis criminatory regulation to place the entire burden of conservation upon resident fishermen oi Alaska and to permit and encourage unrestricted fishing by automatic appliances which has resulted in the taking from Alaskan waters in the season of 1926 more salmon than in any other year since the inception of the industry" and insists on upholding special privilege by the encouragement of the trap fishing system which has been abolished in all fishing coun- tries of any importance and which is known to be very destructive method of fishing we can not expect relief for the fishing population of Alaska until Congress instructs the the trap fishing system and institute Secretary of Commerce to abolish fair code of regulations"

The Putnam Act in Court.

Engineering and Mining JournaL)
 Standing pat in their refusal 10 order the com piction Of silver purchases required under the
 Pttman Act, Secretary Mellon and the Director of the Mint have filed answer to the suii hrcrght by the American Silver Producers Asso- ciat,on to compel them 10 make such purchases Silver to replace all of tho silver dollars melted down to supply bullion 10 Great Britain for use in India during the has been purchased under the act they say and they deny that il is necessary to buy silver to replace what was used for subsidiary coinage. inasamuch as tht allocations of silver for this purpose were re- Ivoked and the metal subsequently, returned to the silver-dolar account. Further they assert that to force the Treasury to purchase 14,5S9.' 730 ounces Of silver at $1 per ounce when the
 market price is 55 cents would mean gift te producers of than six million dollars.
 Thus the Treasury has not receded from the position held by it in the last few years Doubt less t feels that through delay it will win. The silver producers wise in taking the matter into court instead of leaving it to the merces Of another Congress After all. as ex-Sanato1 Thomas said last Fall in Denver. the real ques- ton is whether a Secretary or Under-Secretary of the Treasury can interpret the law, the Pitt man Act as he sees fit, instead of i'll accord ance with it's provisions.
 On the same occasion Senator Thomas re- counted the history of the Pttman Act and the sahseqnent tlansactens resulting from it, as re- ported in fine Engineering and Mining Journal
 of October Z 1926. The matter of allocatons lof silver for subsidiary coinage he dealt with lspocially As for the statement of the Treasury that the allocations were revoked it brings tt
 mind that nearly II 100000 ounces of the silver aocated actually minted into subsidiar, coins. How was it that the allocatons were re voked? The explanation given is that these coins were later melted again and that the bullion was returned to the silyer-dollar account. The legal lity of such procedure may well be questioned for under the Pittman Act such allocations were to be regarded actual sales, calling for re- placement by equivalent amount of silver purchased at the dollar price
 The Secretary and Director Grant now raise the cry that to complete the silver purchases r
 accordance with the law would be equivalent to making gift to the producers from public funds Here again they would ignore the law lit was strictly in accord with the text and in tent of the Pittman Act that the Treasury should pay $1 for silver purchased under it's provisions when the metal cheaper on the open market Anyone who understands the law and the reason for enactng 1t will realize that this was just.

RED CROSS NOT DEMOBILIzED.

When nine years ago today the truce that ended the War for Democracy was signed, as rapidly as circumstances would permit with safe ty to the interests of the nations involved the agencies Of war demobilized. That is, all except one, and that the Red Cross. Although in wartime its mission remains the same in the days of peace. of mercy, still il is one of the most essential services in wars train. Yet while soldiers and sailors have returned to their peacetime trades, armies reduced navies pared down, the industries that organized for mak- ing munitions and war materials recognized into normal activities the Red Cross still engages in it's work of relief its succor in times of local and national emergency wherever the helping hand of charity is needed
 Nearly one million persons, victims of 9S disasters have received assistance from the Am erican Red Cross during the organizations last fiscal year. In the Army Navy and Marine Corps camps. and in other Government hospitals, where lie 25,oo0 disabled veterans of the World War, it has assisted an average of almost 24,0O0 per sons each month in the same period.
 Throughout the civilized world, and especially in this country, floods raging thousands of miles, fires destroying whole villages, tornadoes and hurricanes sweeping over entire States. and death-dealng explosions, combined to make the year one of unprecedented calamities.
 Figures taken from the organizations annual report show that more persons have required assistance from the Red Cross this year than in any like period in the history of the country While the great Mississippi flood was largely responsible for this. the Red Cross was called on to give assistance following 76 other disasters in this country in addition to 21 foreign catastrophes.
 Tornadoes lead the list of American disasters for the last year with 2S and floods run close second with 21 Next on the list are fires which ravaged parts of Il communities Int other disasters miscellaneous eatastrophes such as hurricanes, mine explosions, hailstorms railroad wrecks and disease epidemies.
 The two outstanding disasters of the yea in which the American Red Cross gave aid wer' the Florida hurricane of September 1926, ant the Mississippi Valley flood of this year. Il Florida, the organization expended si.5oo.0O' for the relief of approximately 10000 sufferers carrying on a relief and reconstruction program over q period of five months.
 During the emergency relief work in th flooded Mississippi Valley. than fa0 0Ni persons were aided by the organization in tb eight affected States: Illinois, Kentucky Mis- souri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Mississpp and Louisiana. A relief fund of approximatel1 SIT 100000 is being administered by the Re, Cross of which than $12,O00,0 900 had beer expended or committed at the close of the or ganisation's fiscal year An extensive reconstruc ton program is still under way there, and up t that time more than 9OO00 families had beer given rehabilitation assistance

The South African Flag.
Manchester Guardian.) )


 A solution at last seems possible of the South African flag question, which has excited the Union out of all proportion to it's importance. MT. Tielman Roos, Minister of Justice and right hand of the Prmier, now announces that when Parliament meets in special session this week the Government will be prepared to con- sder sympathetically the Senate's amendments to the Flag Bill The Senate, which has taken throughout this lamentable controversy an ad- mirably dispassonate attitude, suggests design for the national flag on which the main feature |shall be sheild quartered with the Union Jack. the old Transvaal Verkleur the old Orange Free State flag, and four gold stars on a blue ground to symbolize the Union of the States It is a compromise that would appear admirably Ito satisfy the sentiments of all parties It might we'll have been adopted before q calamitous flood of racial antagonism let loose. Coupled as | 1t is with the emphasis MT Roos lays on the fact that the Union Jack remains the flag of South Africa in it's Imperial relationships, it leaves no grievance for British South Africans.

ARMIsTICE DAY.

Today throughout the United States and in many other countries the ninth anniversary Of the signing Of the truce which ended the Word War will be observed. November l has become known throughout the world Arnisliee Bay, the date upon which the end of four long years of Armageddon came to relieve war-burd ened civilization. So each succeeding year, 1t has been apart as day which to render tribute to the memory of those who paid the supreme sac rfce in the great fight for the ideals of free dom and Democracy and to honor their comrades who placed their lives in the balance.
 It is fitting and altogether proper that this occasion be observed Not that it is in any sense a payment the debt that is owed to those who fought. but rather voluntary ofer- ing symbol of the acknowledgement of that debt which all agree is beyond payment by material means.

Woodrow Wilson left behind his ennobling

He declares that it follows upon the "long discipline" that gives people sef-poses- sion. sef-mastery: "the habit of order and peace and common counsel. and reverence of the law which will not fail when they them selves become the makers of the law"
