LOANS TO
AID WAR ATTACKED
IN HOOVER SPEECH
Outlines Theory in Speech to
Pan.American Commercial
Conference

washington, Oct. 8-F-President
Hoover reached back four years
Thursday to reiterate his theory of
foreign loans, the following Of which,
he said, would have >smoothed many
bump from the worlds economic path.
Addressing the fourth Pan Ameri-
can Commercial conference, the presi-
dent recalled his plea that foreign
loans be made only for reproductive
purposes" delivered before the same
conference in 1927. Then he was sec
retary Of commerce.
II repeat this today" the president
said, because had it been followed
during these past five years our prob
lens throughout the world would be
far different, our difficulties infinite
ly less"
Lesson From Depression
Hoover said he believed this con-
stituted "a lesson from this depres-
sion." He repeated part of his four
year-old address which said that III
nations would do away with the lend
ing Of money for the balancing Of
budgets for purposes of military
equipment or war purposes. or even
that type of public works which does
not bring some direct or indirect pro-
ductive return-a great number Of
blessings would follow to the entire
world"
Turning to present-day affairs. Mr..
Hoover told the Pan American dele
gates the American theory Of gov
ernment required that commercial
enterprise, except as rare emergency
action, be essentially private under
taking.
The president said In part:
mo nation, as a government, should
borrow or no government lend and
nations should discourage their citi-
zens from borrowing or lending un-
less this money Is to be devoted to
productive enterprises.
Blessings Would Follow
"A great number Of blessings would
follow to the entire world. There
would be definite increase in the stan
dard of living and the comfort and
prosperity of the borrower.
There could be no greater STEP
taken in the prevention Of war itself
This is perhaps q little further to-
ward the millennium than our prac-
tical world has reached, and do not
propose that these are matters that
can be regulated by law or treaty.
II repeat this today because, had
it been followed during these past
five years, our problems throughout
the world would be far different, oul
difficulties infinitely less.
II have learned with particular in
terest and qualification that by fa1
the greater number of those In at
tendance at this conference are moi
! governmental delegates. but represen'
tatives of the commercial and finan-
cial establishments of the several
American republics. Particularly de
we in the United States hold to the
theory that commercial enterprise
except as rare emergency action. i
essentially private undertaking, and
that the sole function of government
is to bring about condition of affairs
favorable to the beneficial develop
ment Of private enterprise"

DICKINSON LAUDS FARM
BOARD AND TARIFF LAW
Senator Leaves to Help Establish
ment of G. o. p. Headquarters
for Farm Belt.

In statement, regarded as the OPEN
ing shot of the administration in its
farm belt campaign. Senator Dickinson.
Republican, of Iowa, yesterday hailed
the Federal Farm Board and the pro-
tective tariff policy as beneficial factors
in curbing the effect of the depression
in this country.
The Senator's statement was issued
on the eve of his departure to set up
headquarters of the Republican Agri-
cultural Advisory Council in Des
Moines. Expressing the view that I'VE
are ready to press forward to better
business era" he assailed the tariff
critics as economic theorists" and in
dustrial internationalists.'
Dickinson said he believed establish
ment of the Farm Board two years ago
prevented the worst market decline
that has faced our producers in good
many years"

WHEREAS It is well known that there are extensive and valuable Halibut and Cod Banks in the Boring Sea and kotzebue Sound waters, but that at the present time the location of these banks is not definitely known. That the Halibut banks of other Alaska wat CTS are becoming depleted of this valuable food product. It is our belief that survey of Boring Sea and kotzebue Sound Waters to de termine the extent of available fishing areas is vitally nec- essary to encourage and continue the fishing industry by furnishing |the information as to the full ex- tent and probable yield of these areas; and that such survey will show sufficient area to support a large fishing fleet.

 urge that the Tenth Alaska Terri torial Legislature memorabilia the
