Not Being Mental Prostitutes, We Write
 Our Own Editorials

even though there are few who believe that no Indian save Viii liam L. Paul can write editorials.
 On an occasion or two before this, effort has been made to take credit or to place blame for certain editorials. When anyone sends in anything we care to print, we publish it over their names. Otherwise any statement made, unsigned in this paper, lis our own brain storm. So for get Cash Cole-insofar as blanl- 1 ing him for writing the editorial on banks. If we have done al wrong, blame us-if we have done a right, give US due credit
 At least We can say, no other
 paper in the country dares print
 as much of the truth as we do.

It is called to our attention that we were quoted as declaring that Auditor Cash Cole had writ ten certain editorial in our re- cent issue, on banks, banking ana the territorial reserve. The art icle hurt-pinched somebodies toes so that they want to make a smudge to hide the real situa- tion.
 No one writes our editorials. If you don't believe it, come in at any time the fore part of the week and we will write them while We talk it over. We have many ways of securing accurate l information as has any otheI reputable paper. We do not have anyone write our ideas for us

!. SI EXPORTS TO THE SOVIET

Tn 1880, the United States ex- ported to the Soviet Union goods valued at $114,399,0OO. Tn 1881 the total of exports was $103,- 669,000. During the first four months of 1852 the exports had dropped to $5,116,OOO as against 50,799,000 in the same period of the preceding year. A reduction of tenfold which certainly has it's effects upon industry.
 Through these years the Unit ed States government has re- fused to recognize the Soviet Union merely because of the c.ntagonism of the capitalistic economic system to the Soviet system. The scare of scommun- ism" has been used against Americas best customer.

the income of the resident lab crer was undergoing an ex- ttnsive defation and that with out any open conflict. The terri tory is now feeling it. The Ju- r eau Fair Association perhaps never felt it worse than at the recent fair when the Indian fishermen failed to spend their usual $25,000 to $40,000 in less than a week at the fair. Busi- ness houses all over the division are feeling it and will feel it worse as time goes on.
 There always has been a way cut of the morass of entangling alliances with the canning sys- tenn of Alaska. Abolish the fish trap. You can do so by support ing those candidates who are outspoken and frank in their opposition to the trap system.
 Support given those candi- dates who hedge around and Cnly let others speak for them or who permit by inference such opposition, is effort to continue the "defation" of the wage earnings of the resident labor CTS. Whatever happens in the next election-election or de- | feat of men pledged to work for your interests-Will not be the fault of the candidates. The citi- IZens only get the kind of repre- Isentation in government thav they want. If it hurts, there is n3 one to blame but yourself. If 1 it is worthy government, then take the credit.

When anyone declares the evils of the capitalistic system wrong and unjust, they are &C., cused of being radicals" in 8 nasty sort of way. We reprint from the Wall Street Journal the following radical statement:
 Tt is doubtful whether s9 rapid and extensive a deflation of the wage-earners income has ever before taken place in the United States, with so nearly a total absence of open conflict between masters and men 1t seems a far cry back to the Homestead riots of 1892, to the Pullman and railroad strikes of two years later, or even to the Colorado mine disorders of 1914. "
 Labor" published by the six teen standard railroad labor unions stated recently:
 "This is not a passing de- pression. It is the stormy dawn of a new age, and We must meet lit with new methods. With our natural resources, trained skill Iand industrial plants, we need not wait for any other nation, We can lead the world back to prosperity instead of following it deeper into the abyss. It is high time for our political doc tors to stop dawdling with opl- ates and palliatives for our economic ills, and root out the cause"

 If the Honorable Rustgard is now so finicky of the corrupt" opposition of the Brotherhood, just what was it that made it not corrupt during the time he asked for and secured that "cor- rupt" support. Birds of a feath- CT flock together is an old adage and if the Brotherhood is a cor rupt machine then by his aS- sociations with it and elections, John is branding himself as corrupt.

 Unexpected Developments
 When the case came up in this strange Unalaska court, Hardy al1d one other man h a d been picked up. Proving Hardy's guilt vas no easy task, and only the unexpected developments of the trial ever convicted him.
 It appeared that Hardy had taken the mems guns from the camp, then gone into hiding to await the return of the men. Soon they came, all four of them. Hardy, an excellent shot, open cd fire without warning and feli- led three of the men immediate ly. The fourth, with a bullet rent ill his clothes, made successful getaway. He was found on the other side of the island month ldtef, half deliriouS, half-StarVed. JAS he recovered he told a coher-
 ent story and the crews of the revenue cutters started the ir-
 Vestigation. Hardy and the other man were found, each with pos
 sessions taken from the dead
 men. Hardy, for instance, still
 lad $2,000 which had been taken
 f~om Con Sullival4 5 body. Hardy
 and his companion each blamed the other.
 Then McGinn came into court with a strange old Eskimo chief, , who spoke little English. Hardy had denied being on the island until after the murder. The ES-
 kln1o, however, said he had seen , Hardy at time which would have blasted the mans defense. , How do you know you saw the
 man at that time?" asked the
 judge. T know" was all the Els
 kino would reply.
 Chief UnmOved
 The defense attorney repeated
 the same question, and hammer = led it at the Eskimo witness time : after time. But the decrepit old = chieftain was unmOved. He re- fused to amplify or to change : his statement. II looked as if his s testimony would have to be 3 secuted His very appeaance, ; l recalls the judge, lied one to f think that the Eskimo never 5 could be relied upon to tell the - truth"
 l But finally, in his halting Eng
 fish, the Eskimo told the de
 fense attorney that he knew the :, date because he had written it r ill his log. The defense counsel
 was happy. He felt sure, as did , almost everyone in the court
 room, that this Eskimo could not , Vrite-cOuld keep no log. So the '. counsel called the witness to .
 table-and the table was placed
 just in front of the jury box 50 ! that all the jurors might see this testimony blasted away. The Es- kimo stepped down. He took the . pen that was handed him, and . then, before the startled eyes of
 these jurors and court attaches, < he wrote a beautiful Russian
 script!
 r Later he produced his log-his c diary-a complete record of his daily activities which, wh e II : traslated, confirmed his story. Il Hanged in Nome 5 That was only one of the many | startling developments in the l trial At another time Hardy, en-
 deavoring to explain his pos Isession of the $2000, said he had been in the service in the Philip 2 zines.

NAVY FINDS Joker
IN APPROPRIATION
Flyers Pay Scale Saved, But
Necessary Funds Left
Out.

Naval aviators and other personnel
holding like ratings are threatened with
loss of a major portion of their flight
pay, or the Navy will be forced to cur
tail large portion of its military flying
operations as the result of legislative
joker slipped into the naval appropria-
tions bill, it was learned last night.
The situation is regarded by naval
aviation leaders as one of the most seri-
Gus in many years.
The joker crept into the bill as a re-
suit of efforts on the part of the House
Appropriations Committee to curtail
flight pay during the coming fiscal year.
The committee proposed to limit fight
pay to $l,100 year to individual pilots.
Under the present law, annual fight
payments range from approximately
$3.50 for ensigns to as high as $4,000 for
rear admirals.
The plan was opposed by the War and
Navy Departments and national defense
organizations on the ground it would
wreck the flying services.
Limitations Withdrawn.
AS a result of the opposition, the
House Committee announced yesterday
it would withdraw the limitation not
only on flight pay but also on extra pay
awarded submarine crews.
1t was learned last night, however,
that although the committee had with
drawn the specific limitation fixing a
maximum of $1.100 for flight pay and
S720 fer submarine pay, it failed to pro-
vide the fund necessary to make the
fight payments
As the bill now stands, the Navy De-
partment is limited to funds which will
make possible flight payments only up
10 the $1100 limitation. The bill pro-
vides approximately 81 100000 for addi-
tional flight pay, this amount $2l7000
less than the amount required fer pay
ments under the present schedule.
Due to this, the Navy Department is
placed in the position of being required
by law to pay its flying personnel an
amount equal to so per cent of their
annual pay for flight duty, but is denied
the funds with which to make the pay
ments.
Heavy Cuts Feared.
1t is believed the only solution will
be to incur a deficiency or to curtail
greatly the amount of naval flying
during the year The question was
raised as to the legality of incurring
such a deficiency and it was regarded
as likely that unless the Senate restores
the flight pay, the Navy will be forced
to abandon a large part of its flying
operations.
Officers of the Army Air Corps also
were disturbed by the matter, as the
House is expected to treat the Army
flying service as it does the Navy Bu-
reau of Aeronautics.

MAY GIVE
LIGHT ON WEATHER
Occurrence in August to Be Last
for Americans Until
1870.

by the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, April 23-The COM
ing total eclipse Of the sun in the Eastern
United States an August 81 next, the
last for Americans until 1870, promises
new information about long distance
weather forecasting.
This and other discoveries about
eclipses were reported to the Ameri-
can Philosophical Society today by DR..
Samuel A. Mitchell director of the
Leander Mccormick Observatory of the
University of Virginia. s:
Weather forecasting involves sun-spots.
These spots are known to reach high
peak every II years, with increasing
rainfall, higher temperatures and
worse radio static. But how the spots
and their effects vary from year to
year is still mostly unknown to science
The eclipse may throw light" on
this point. For the suns corona, the
pearly white halo visible only during
eclipse. has two shapes, both sun-spot
indicators. One is round like a gil
gantic dahlia, which means many spots
The other is shaped like a bow tie
and means few spots.
The last maximum sun-spot period
was between 1928 and 1929 The next
minimum is expected in 1884.
But Dr. Mitchell reported that at
the last eclipse, $780, the corona was
mostly bow tie, minimum" shape,
when the maximum type was expected
Consequently, he said, corona shape at
the coming eclipse will be observed
with special interest.
He also showed photos which, DR..
Henry Norris Russell, one Of the
worlds foremost astronomers at the
meeting, said revealed corona details
new to astronomy. These pictures
showed that fiery, gargantuan storms
on the suns surface were the bases of
streamers of corona light.
There will be 90 seconds to observe
the August eclipse. The path OF total
ity will stretch from Alaska across
North America entering the United
States in New Hampshire, and cross
ing Maine and northeastern Massa-
chusetts.
