The World Bank at Work.
Cincinnati Enquirer.l

Those who expected the Bank of International Settlements to be merely mechanical device for handling reparations payments gradually are being treated to surprise. This most recent of the post war international agencies seems to be Hing up to the hopes of it's founders in the Young Committee who saw in it means of bringing about financial cooperation among the major countries of the world.
 The bank, for it has only been in opera ton few weeks, is good deal more than 9 transfer agent It is a means of continuous co . operation between the central banks of the world Most of the financial progress of recent years such as the stabilzation of Eurpean currencies has about through the cooperative effort of several central banks, working in some along with the League of Nations. This cooperation is to be furthered and made vastly simpler by the insti- tuition recently established at Basic
 Very possibly the existence of such a bank, in which the American banking system is ably repre- sented would have mitigated somewhat the tre- during the bull market of l928-1929 One cannot say with certainty, but it is conceivable that it could have done to counteract that flow of capital than done by the spasmodic increases of in- terest rates by occasional European central banks If that had been possible, then of the present world wide depression of trade would have been averted. tsauWNH It is idle to expect too much. But the extreme importance of wholesome distribution of world credit facilities leads to the hope that the Bank of International Settlements will in time, take over the task of assuring uniform credit conditions through the world well that of helping to assure the integrity of various national currencies These functions well administered, will go far to prevent the contagion of depressed trading which has shown it's far-reachng effects in world markets | in recent months.

That Investigation.
(Anchorage Times.)

While it does not seem to The Times that there is need of such an investigation as is about to be made by the Howell Senatorial Committee, recently appointed there is to believe Alaska will be strengthened at Washington as result of the in- qury. It will be helpful to the Territory if Chair man Howell and the members of his committee will come to Alaska with open minds and with time enough at their disposal to enable them to make 2 reasonably thorough study of the conditions they were appointed to investigate; it will be particularly fortunate if Senator Howell will give Alaskans the opportunity to show him, they already have shown numerous members of Congress that the Nation possesses in Alaska asset worthy of the fullest measure of Congressional encouragement. Senators Howell has not been friendly in his atti- tude toward Alaska but there is the hope that with better understanding of conditions there will come desire to aid, instead of retard, Terri torial development. As a friend Senator Howell would be a powerful aid to Alaska progress, and
 if the investigation results in winning his friend ship it will have been than worth while, both to the Territory and to the Nation.
 All three members of the committee West ern men, they have been identified with large scale developmnt and recognized of big vision. They are the type of needed for such an investigation as is contemplated and their com
 ing to Alaska should go far to bridge the distance which now separates the Territory from the Ma tional Capital.

We Hold Our Own.
(New York Times ]


 Peeved, it would seem, by all this talk about the victories of men and of the machine, old Mother Nature has been trying hard to show that she is still in a position to tell the human race where it gets off But the results have not been impressive. When it comes to playing hob with human fortunes Natures comes off very poor sec ond to Man himself.
 The old lady has been making use of her entire bag of tricks-earthquake famine drought, storm, fire and flood She has rolled up fair casualty list in Italy, in China in the Sesian coal area and lon the Rhine. B But the figures are, of course, nothing compared to the man-made statistics ot 1914-18.
 For that matter, according to the reports from the vicinity of Mount Ararat, it would appear that Renal Pasha has recently killed several times as many Kurds the earthquakes slew inhabitants of Southern Italy.
 Famine in China is pilng up heavy totals, but most Of the credit should go not to Nature but to Man. It is the latter by his works, that mul- tipes the effectiveness of drought and locusts a dozen times. One good civil war in China will account for as many lives a of crop failures.

BIG SALMON CROP.

Southeast Alaska's salmon crop this year will pronapy reach 100000 cases and comprise 50 per cent or more n quantity of the pack of the Terri tory. IL IS believed that the percentage of red salmon packed will exceed the average for the last lew years While the market is unsettled and un- satisfactory, there is ground for hone that it will improve However in any event the pack will be worth many millions of dollars and it will make its large annual contributions to the public treasury and Alaskan prosperity.

that there are going to be plenty Of tanned
skins this year. but they will be Of the natur-

"O TAN or not TO tan-thats the burning

wrinkles in her nice smooth little forehead,

a gypsy-a particularly alluring gypsy Of
