WORLDS CREDIT
 NEEDS, TO SPUR MININGAAOF GOLD

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25.-Sena- tor Key Pittman of Nevada, an authority on gold and silver min- ing, said the credit of the world is threatened by the Shortage of gold and by "Englands desperate attempt to get enough of the yellow metal to stabalize her silver cur rency."
 In the credit situation, Senator Pittman said, is seen the promise of tremendous boom in gold min ing in western states.
 "The production of Gne world gold supply is decreasing steadily" the Senator said. The finances of the world are based on this metal and there are grounds for uneasi- ness as to credit voiced by econom- ists, who hold credit is being strained.
 There is a tremendous rivalry between governments to obtain gold. The United States now has nearly half of the world supply, while France has about a quarter. Eng land on the other hand, has about one tenth and in her effort to get gold to sustain her gold basis cur rency in India has been melting up and sacrificing great quantities of silver coin and dumping it on the world market. This has brok- en the price of silver, which is the only measure of wealth in coun- tries comprising the population of half the world.
 Consequently the value of nearly one half of the world has been re- duced by the reduction of the pur- chasing power of silver in such countries as China, India, Russia Mexico and those of South Ameri- ca"
 The Senator said gold mining in South America is on the wane, be- cause mines are playing out. He said consequently mines in west ern United States, which have been unworked because of the expense connected with their operation, very probably will come into their own.

NEW YORK CITY, N. Y, Sept. 25.-The New York Times today quotes Basil w. Delgass, former Vice-President of the Amtorg Trad ing Corporation in New York, as saying that the dumping of wheat and other commodities is a fixed policy of the Soviet Government, designed to foment revolution in other countries.
 Delgass was recently declared an outlaw by the Soviets and his prop erty was confiscated because he refused to go to Moscow and ex- plain his resignation.
 Extraordinary Spectacle
 Delgass, according to the New York Times, said:
 Russia presents an extraordi- nary spectacle of a country being starved and impoverished by a Government pursuing a fantastic policy of depriving it's own people of things they are desperately in LCtQ Ol III OlQC1 tO abroad through cheap prices.
 "The Government is creating a disorganization, discontent and rev. olution in other countries. Another aim is also to obtain capital for a Soviet industrialization plan
 Regarding property confiscated, Delgass said his property consisted of maybe a couple of broken chairs"
 He explained he came to the United States four years ago, after ward assuming his connection with the Amtorg He resigned from the Amtorg in July after having had it suggested it would be a good thing" to return to Russia.
 This he refused to do, announce ing instead his intention of taking Iout American citizenship papers. He represented the Soviet Govern Iment in London for two years.

 DANGERS THAT TRAPPED ANDREE
ods of criminal investigation.


 Some other portions of the text have called for widespread criticism. For example, one of the methods outlined for trailing trucks is the notion of tying a bucket of sand to the spoke of a wheel. When the truck starts to move, the agent should pull out cork in the bot tom of pail and thus have clue to the direction the truck has gone.
 No indication of what the agent should do when the sand runs out was contained in the instructions. It all sounds vaguely like the we'll known method of catching birds by sprinkling salt on their tails.
 The texts also advise the agents to-be to read such instructive works as Poe's Murders in the Rue Morgue," and The Gold Bug" MT. Dengler, it appears, has discovered the road to success in prohibition enforcement.

 Though the delegates to the con- gress were distinctly modern in many ways, they demanded that divorce be made more difficult and that it be granted merely in excep- tional cases and for weighty req sons.
 This because in the East the woman is practically at the mercy of the man if he wants to get rid of her.
 Other resolutions demand obliga- tory school attendance on the part of girls and boys and the provision of trade schools for both sexes.

 Visitors Make Talks
 c. s. Harley, Seattle business man and big game hunter, and Thomas Gaffney, Democratic nomi- nee for Territorial auditor, made interesting talks, and R. c. Mize outlined some of the objectives of the Parent Teacher Association.
 This, he said, is an organization for the promotion of the education and welfare of all students, and its policies are definitely directed toward that end. The Juneau As sociation has lately become affili-
 ated with similar organizations throughout the Territory and with them is a member of the National Association.
 He quoted at some length from the handbook of the National body, stressing the importance of local units which, it was said, are the backbone of the central organiza- ton. They assist schools by bring ing to them the cooperation of both individual homes and entire communities.
 Two objects being considered by the Juneau organization are en- largement of playground facilities and playground supervision, and parent education. The need for more adequate playgrounds is gen. orally recognized and the Parent Teacher Association hopes to be able to obtain them. The advis- ability of having playground super vision was suggested, and the em- ployment of teacher on all-year basis is being considered.
 The National Association, MT. Mize said, is stressing parent edu- cation as a need for intelligent CO., operation with school authorities. It has prepared several books deal ing with, this matter The Juneau Organization is suggesting that par ents, interested in any particular subject covered by them, purchase books dealing with them, and, after i they have read them, deposit them with the Public Library so they will be available for others.

Harley, Seattle, Vice President of the Northwest Sportsmen's Association, who is accompanied by Mrs. Harley and here for hunting trip. He was formerly connected with the Tena- kee Fisheries, leaving there II lyears ago to make his homo in Seattle. He is enroute to Tenakee | to visit Herbert Lee, with whom he will hunt.
