 ACCURACY

Accuracy is essential in re- searches and is the foundation of everything, so ones imagination must be restrained within limits of reason or probability; our feet must remain on terra firma, re- gardless of how high our imagina- tionS soar, all being children of nature yet despite care, occasional errors have a way of creeping in to histories, more so in transla- tions where notes are voluminous, but seldom Intentionally.
 However, this is not a disserta- tion on the Shield of Achilles, but merely some references to Fr. Ge- deon's manuscript, viz; page 77, At o'clock (July 4, 1804) we passed the American ship Ocean, anchored at Kodiak" page no, The 1904 epidemic occurred at the time of our arrival on the Amer ican-Bostonian vessel Ocean from the California coast; page 4, Let ter from Administrator Baranov to Fr. Gedeon, anent the loss of the ship Phoenix in l799, which had on board the first Bishop of Kodiak, Rev. H. E. IoaSaf, his staff and costly vestments, all being lost,". Apparently Fr. Gedeon voy- aged from Hawaii to Alaska on the ship Ocean instead of the ship Phoenix, as previously stated.

DICKINSON EAGER
TO DEBATE TARIFF
Suggests Senator Harrison Name
Time and Place if He Will Not
Speak Over Radio.

Unable to trap the willy Senator Pat
Harrison in radio debate on the tariff
Senator L. J. Dickinson, Republican, of
Iowa, has countered with proposal to
the Mississippian that they meet in
open debate at any time and at any
place mutually agreeable"
The challenge was sent to the Demo-
cratic whip through the medium of
the Republican National Committee and
the press Dickinson, it seems, is will
ing to do everything possible to facili-
tate arrangements for such q gladia-
torial combat.
The ofncers Of the Columbia Broad
casting Co. had informed Dickinson,
the latter said, that the Mississippi
Senator had excused himself from tax
ing part in a radio debate without CIV
ing any reasons. Since Harrison had
first issued the challenge for a tariff
debate, the Iowan Is anxious to arrange

blignting effect upon business recovery
that will result from attempts to main
tain wage rates that begin to appear
hopelessly out Of line with the new level
of prices"
The current decline has been too
great and too fundamental, according
to Mr.. Rorty, and the prospects Of re-
covery are too remote to justify the
wage policy that was appropriate in
1921, he said. 1T may be that in due
time prices will return to something
approaching their 1929 levels" he
added.
Advising against use Of public funds
for employment sterilization. Mr.. Rorty
said there were steps which could be
taken without risk of making major
economic mistakes. He suggested,
among other plans, greater use of auto
matte savings plans for employees, rea-
Sonable preferences in employment &C
cording to length of service and family
responsibility, moderate spreading Of
available employment during depression
periods, and proper organization Of
public employment bureaus.
Praises U. s. Program.
He praised the work Of the United

International banking cooperation
was described by Prof Theodore Greg
DRY, professor of banking at the London
School of Economics as the only pre-
tentative for further depressions in the
future.
To prevent cycles of depression, in
terest rates should be made at high
level during times of imitation and
should be lowered during defiation,
Prof. Gregory said. He saw such con-
troll possible only through international
cooperation of banks, but admitted
that Americans ARE far from willing
to endorse such cooperation" as yet.

In the second of his scheduled adj
dresses on THE Economics Of Capital
ISM" Mr.. Rorty said that with wage
reductions the question arises as to the
proper extent of such decreases These,
he believed, should not exceed the de-
cline in the cost of living and he sug-
gested that it would be appropriate
that wage reductions be accompanied
by pledges to restore the old scales

living.
There is no reason to believe that

Mr.. Rorty explained that in the de-
