DUBLIN, Nov. II. - canon De
valera, angular, thin-faced leader
OF Irish republicanism, told the
United Press today that his Fianna
Dali party will abolish Immediately
the oath of allegiance to King
George if it comes into power.
ireland can not say that it rules
itself until it has abolished the oath
of allegiance" said De Valera, who
is confident his party will win the
next election. 1T would be one of
our first acts to remove Article IT
Of the Constitution which imposes
the oath"
The tall republican leader, who
has spent months in prison, but
never lost the fanatical flame which
carried him through the bloody
strife Of past years, paced back and
forth in his low-ceilinged Office as
we talked.
Defy Death Penalty
Previously, I had gone to the
Wicklow mountains to witness a
secret drill Of the Irish repub-
lican army" by lantern light in a
secluded ravine. The drill was
frankly in preparation for war with
Great Britain.
The soldiers of them
boys-were undeterred by the gov
ernment's drastic public safety
measure threatening the death
penalty for such action
De Valera, who has said extremist
measures such as secret drilling
should be avoided, declared that
the growing sentiment in Ireland
for complete separation from
Britain is not of recent growth"
1T is a sentiment inspired by
Irish resistance through 300 years
of strife, since the first Norman set
foot here. 1t has been the aim Of
every Irish movement and of every
Irish leader"
Youths Ready to Fight
De Valera believes that he will
come into power and that, without
the loss of drop of blood he will
gain complete independence for
Ireland
But the young extremists of Ire
land, who know of De Valera's ter
rible experiences in warfare only
at second hand, are ready to fight
whenever they are ordered. After
negotiating with half dozen re-
publican leaders, got permission
to witness the wicklow mountain
drills, not far from Dublin.
I was pledged not to reveal any
names of men or places. Fog and
darkness had settled over Dublin
when my guide called for me.
In a closed automobile we drove
about three hours along narrow
roads and up steep hills, halted be-
side lonely shanty and then walked
down footpath.

MYTH the question of adjusting
w the ratio of silver to gold now
in the headlines, it is interesting to
learn that some 100000 ounces of
pure silver is being issued each year
by government institutions and pri-
vate ref1neries for use in the in
dustrial arts and the demand for
the metal is advancing steadily.
The United States far exceeds all
other nations in its power to absorb
the metal by its use in the jewelry
industry.
r ONION now has an official who
L decides each day how much
fresh air should be admitted to
street cars, and the windows are
locked in that position for the day.
What is probably meant, is how
much London fog to exclude.

larger farms, more intensive farm

 The feasibility and benefits of aerial transportation in Alaska with her great areas, have been dem- ontrated by private com D anies without Government help.

M. s. WHITTIER WINS AIR MAIL
 COMPETITION
Prize Is Flight to Seattle and Back and Week
 at Best Hotel

M. s. Whittier CT Juneau, Assist ant Collector of Customs, will fly to Seattle, stay a week at the best hotel there and then fly back here, all without any charge or expense to himself. How so? He is the winner of the first prize offered by the a-Washington Airways for the best letter to the Post Office Department setting forth Why AL saka Needs Air Mail Service" An nouncement of the award was re- gently made in Seattle
 There were maiy contestants, but inc three judges of the competition found no difficulty it is said, lin selecting the winner His let ter stood out from all of them"
 Alaska's Great Wealth
 MT Whittier sets forth in his letter that Alaska's fisheries have yielded more than $80O.OO0,O00 since 1878; her mines $600,0O0,OO0 since 1880; her furs. s5,000,0OO annually; that her forests are capable of producing 100000 tons of news print yearly without timber deple- tion. and in trade her annual con- tributlons to world markets total S70,000,000, while merchants in the United States ship yearly to AL  aska merchandise in excess of S30,- 0o0O0O.
 He emphasizes that the primary mode of transportation is by water but that recently the pioneering spirit has impelled some citizens to introduce aerial transportation These aerial efforts have demon- strated the efficacy in the North of the airplane. Two companies have operated hydroplanes in South cast Alaska and five in Southwest ern and Interior Alaska and on Seward Peninsula. MT. Whittier in substance says further:
 Mining Is Benefited
 Air service in mining operations has brought districts removed from business centers by days and weeks of travel by dog team or water routes within a few minutes or few hours distance. Miners, pros pectors and laborers in other in- dustries injured at distance places have been rescued and brought to hospitals and physicians in few hours time by airplaneS, whereas by other modes of travel, the in- jured or ailing might not have survived to reach medical aid. Epl- denies in remote villages have been stayed by the quick relief afforded by means of airplanes.
 The matter of advancing paper pulp projects, based on forestry resources has been advanced by aerial surveys.

CHICAGO, March 27-With moisture

wheat and more corn this season were
apparently without effect as an immedi-

Corn started 70 lower to baA higher
and subsequently tended downward.

market or that the alternative would be

special attention as bear factor. The
proportion named was the quantity
Russia supplied before the war. Au-
thoritative adviceS said in this connec-
ton that Argentine wheat clearances
were large, but with shippers obliged
to accept low prices on account OF COM
petition from Russia and Australia.
Rallies witnessed at times in wheat
prices were ascribed to fears Of possible
domestic crop damage by q cold wave.
Canada reported temperatures 10 below
zero in some cases and Kansas dis
patches had mention of zero to above.
At Jetmore. Kans., actual damage by
severe cold was asserted. Corn and oats
followed wheat fluctuations.
