Forced Labor in Russia.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Close the heels of MoScoW's pronouncemen+ that American cries of forced labor the merest hallucnations comes draft" of all transport work Government frequently offers stiking paradoxes of policy but could it equal the Soviet facility for effacing it's principles by contrary action.
 Russia has no unemployment problem. This much certainly is true But the methods which have been used there to find work for everyone at least akin to forced labor. For several years past Mos officials have offered bonuses to Russian workers to stay in coal mines and northern for ests. No other way was found to maintain working forces in these industries, miserable were the conditions of labor But this mild policy has gone by the board in favor of the draft"
 Just what is this device of drafting labor for special services? The last weeks activities give us an answer All persons skilled in transport indus tries were required to register" for work on the railways, matter what their present employ ment The draftees then "mobilized' and as- signed to various stations far distant perhaps from their homes. They refuse to go of course But if they refuse they lose their present jobs their privileges workers Qow prices for food and clothing, etc) and become virtual outcasts. Few will dare refuse.
 This is not forced labor" as the League of Nations defines it in it's campaign to rid the wcro of slavery But it surely is forced labor as that term is understood in the United States This raises vital question for America. Shall we close ou, ports to goods made under this system as our customs laws permit, shall we accept this species of forced labor an essential part of the Communist world-a world apart from own?

A New Form of Protection.
(NeW York World.)

The organized drive which has been started at Washington for embargo all Russian goods serves to call attention to a kind of protectionst policy now rapidly developing in all parts of the world. This has been aptly designated to supple ment the usual method of supplying protection by means of import duties and in some instances it has come to supplant it. The importance of this new method is just beginning to be recognized and it's effects already far-reaching
 The most familiar form of administrative pro- lection is perhaps that found in the general pro- hibition of dumping Here protection is afforded not by high rates but by the embargo of foreign goods which are sold in the importing country at less than the cost of production in the country of origin Administrative protection is also afforded against goods not properly marked with the name of the country of origin, against goods made with convict labor against goods sold abroad under a trade mark to which domestic seller has obtained the exclusive right in his own country and so on. bill is pending before Congress which would exclude English books which are also issued under copyright agreement with American publisher, and number of bills have been intro duced which would ban the importation of goods made with any kind of enforced labor These last named measures aimed, of course at Russia where some of the ultra -protectonists now aver free labor no longer exists. Collectively these ad- minisrative restrictions are exerting a profound influence the foreign trade of the world They attract much less direct attention than do abnor- maly high rates because they less spectacular but they are vastly effective and they deserve more careful study than they have yet received.

A generation ago Alaska took it's first steps .uord the erection of a building to serve n the housing of it's governmental agencies, Fedefal ''nu Territorial The first estimates for S2o00oo covered only modest structure As time dragged on "lCh- out action, the estimates were revised rom Uiiie to time and the final building fund was set at s75oooo and the total expenditure for site building and equipment as it stands today is not far rom Sl 000000
 Over it's doors are carved the words: Federal and Territorial Building" But it is already becom- inp known as the Capitol and this name will undoubtedly become more and more common as time goes on It is more convenient, and the word Capitol expressed better what Aaskans have had in their minds for it since the project was initiated 20 years ago.
 While there is nothing ornate in the architecture and construction, it is fine building. The work manship as well as the materials which have gone into it's walls its floors and every part Of 1t rom furnace room to the penthouse are Of the finest. The Alaska marble in it's portce pillars, halls ana stair trim the hemock used in the flooring furnish striking proof that native materials can be used to the highest advantage in even the finest of struc- tures Wide starways and railways, spacious -ooms all airy, well lighted with artificial illumnants equipped with wide, high windows make for beauty as well as convenience. All in all it is magnifi- cent building-one in which every Alaskan can pro- perly feel pride It is not a sole possession oi Juneau but is owned by every part of Alaska. This city as the Territorys capital is it's honored GUS todian.
 Praise is due to those who have had hand II it's building The N. P Severin Company, through its agents the ground, has performed its task in a notable way expeditiously and efficiently J. Marshall engineering supervisor for the Treasury Department has not only functioned to the end that only first class workmanship and first class mater als were furnished but has made it possible to ado many conveniences not provided for in the origina plans and specifications. Both MT. Marshall and th' contracting company are to be congratulated or the very fine job that has been done in the build ing that is to be dedicated today and Sunday.

Lost: Middle Age.
(New York Herald -Tribune9


 "The average normal mdlde-aged woman" says Miss Frances Perkins, State Commissioner of Labor has little for the artificial creations of the styists" Miss Perkins thinks that if the manufac- turers of womens clothing would listen to the mid dle-aged women instead of needing the flippan fances of the flappers they could keep their em- poyees at work twelve months in the year and iron out seasonal unemployment
 Strange doctrine this in 1881 Miss Perkins seems to have lost her usual salty realism. Where are the middle-aged ladies who create styles of their own? Time was when woman was middle aged when she crossed the fatal line of thirty years Her skirts began to settle, indeed before she passed twenty-five. Youth short and distinctive It is one of the crowning glories of our age that it has prolonged youth for Miss Perknss sex and abolished the tedious interval of middle age There still is such thing as old age and we respect it But middle age is gone. Miss Perkins, appealing to middle-aged women to look midde-aged and to in- sst upon middle aged styles is like King Canute bidding the waves be still

IMPROVEMENT HAS STARTED.

Business and industry are on the upturn in this country and while the gain has not been material it has been sufficient to dispe of the deepest pessimism and give more or less optimistic nott to the general feeling This is commented on by the National City Bank of New York as follows:
 The month of January has justified pectatons of improvement in the busi- ness situation. Activity in the steel and automobile industries has increased and has been parallelled by general broadening out of business in other important lines Employment reports indicate a substantial expansion of payrolls in the manufacturing centers. Sentiment among business men is distinctly more confident, and in general the business situation wears a more hopeful aspect than it has in some time
 To what extent the improvement in sen tment is due to the better trend in the security markets is impossible to say. Wheth- CT at any given point 1t should be said that business reflects the stock market or that the stock market reflects business is always question for debate. Doubtless in the long run the stock market will take it's from business rather than the verse, but the two influences act and react upon each other and there can be no doubt that the swing of stock prices is inn portant factor in shaping public psychology.
 Naturally, the reports of expanding op- erations in various branches of industry like wise have been helpful to sentiment even though at this stage it is difficult to diff ferentiate between purely seasonal and more permanent gains. Knowledge, also, that the country has come through the critical days of December without more serious upsets has tended to inspire greater confid- ence in the soundness of the economic fabric while with people feeling of relief over the passing of 1880 and tendency to see some magical significance in the turn of the year" to be the basis for a not-so-well- grounded optimism.

and Little Fishes"
In delightful manner he analyses
describes and discusses these 10 men
The idea uppermost In his mind at al
times is that a man can be both god
and little fish at the same time. He
attempts to show the great god and
little fish characteristics in each Of
the 10.
There Is, for example, Calvin Coolidge
Dennis and the former President have
been friends from their youth. Twen-
ty-five years ago they lived in the same
boarding house in Northampton and
made little excursions into local poll
tics.
In his book Dennis revives memories
of that time along with descriptions
estimates of character and anecdotes
Then he takes up the Coolidge Of re-
cent years and compares him with the
Coolidge of 25 years ago. There Is ad-
miration liking and affection through
out. He insists that Coolidge has q
sense of humor.
There is chapter on Senator Brook
hart of Iowa and the time the Pro-
|, gressive Senator went to Europe in 1925
to make observations and exchange
views with European statesmen.
Among the others treated In Dennis
book is Woodrow Wilson as q Prince

B. T gsr,s.,'

when he said soft nothings to Mrs. yell
low Wing
When She had chance to be by her
self Mrs. Yellow Wing would sigh and
say to herself: IT hadn't thought that
there was any one In the world like
Yellow Wing. but must confess this
stranger is just as handsome. Some
times I think he, is hendsomer. And
he says such charming things. Then,
feel younger. oh, dear, really don't
know what to do. I believe am fall
ing in love with him. wonder what
Yellow Wing would do without me.
Probably he woulds soon get over It,,
find some one to take my place and
forget all about me. This stranger has
a way with him. He certainly has a
way with him. wish he were not
quite so handsome, for really am very
fond of Yellow Wing"
This was before the adventure with
Black Pussy. Afterward, when Yellow
Wing and the stranger resumed their
attention to Mrs. Yellow Wing, re-
sumed their nodding and bowling and
efforts at dancing and showing off just
as if nothing had happened, Mrs. yell
low Wing experienced q sudden and
complete change of heart. The stranger
put on just as many airs as before. He
spread his wings and tail and nodded
and bowed in his grandeSt manner, but
his charm was gone. Yes, sir, his
charm was gone. 1t went with those
two tail feathers Black Pussy had pulled
out. You see, now when he spread his
tail, there, right in the middle was a
great gap. 1t was as If he had two
tails, two small tails instead OF one
bigger one.
'How ridiculous he looks!" thought
Mrs. Yellow Wing. 1.-The idea of show
ing off such looking tail as that! He
should know better. He Is absurd.
That's what he is-abSurd. Whatever
did I see in him, wonder. And he
isn't as smart as Yellow Wing or he
wouldn't have lost those feathers"
OF course, this wasn't quite fair on
the part of Mrs. Yellow Wing, for it
just happened that the rival was bit
nearer Black Pussy than was Yellow
/ Wing. It was just his misfortune
that was all. However, Mrs Yellow
Wing didn't consider this She turned
her bright eyes on Yellow Wing. What
a dear he was! How handsome and
how very, very much in love! Her eyes
softened. She nodded to him and moved
over and touched him with her bill.
Right then and there the stranger was
completely forgotten by both yellow
Wing and Mrs. Yellow Wing, all on
account Of the loss of two feathers

the handsome Flicker who was trying
to win Mrs. Yellow Wing away from
Yellow Wing, You know, Yellow Wing
and his rival had been so intent on
showing OF before Mrs. Yellow Wing
that they did not see Black Pussy steel
ing through the grass, and had it not
been for the alarm given by Welcome
Robin just in the nick of time, one of
them or else Mrs. Yellow Wing GER
tainly would have been caught. As 1t
was, Black Pussy got two feathers.
They were from the. middle Of the tail
Of Yellow Wings rival.
There was at cnce q great cutlery
among the feathered folk of the Old
Orchard, and Black Pussy was glad to
sneak away. When quiet once more
reigned in the Old Orchard the danger
was forgotten and Yellow Wing and his
rival resumed their counting of Mrs.
Yellow Wing.
Now, up to this time Mrs. Yellow
Wing had been undecided in her own
mind. This stranger certainly was Q
handsome fellow. and he certainly did
know how to show OF. He was most
polite, and he had very nice voice
