PARTY LINES SPLIT UP

For the first time in over ten years, the political party lines in Alaska are divided and eacn party must go into the primary in order to nominate candidates who will make their bid for election next November. Here : tofore the Democrats h av 6 crisscrossed into the Republican primaries, handpicked the can olidates and then double crossed them in the general election. The latest evidence of which was their defection from Tom Gardiner and Walter Scott Of Juneau, candidates for senator and representative on the Re publican ticket.
 This year there are three can Gidates on the Democratic tic kpt for delegate to Congress, three sets of candidates for na- tional committeeman and two sets of candidates for the legis- lature Looking at the lineup, it appears that Anthony Dimond, candidate for delegate to con- gress and J. J. Connors are lined uo together on the Juneau fed eral brigade demo-republican ticket. George Grigsby, perren- 1,ual candidate for delegate to Congress is blooming out again for the honor and with John Frame, erstwhile, Republican national committeeman elected several years back, as his run lung mate and A. H. Ziegler, former representative to the le- gislature running with R. E. Kardcastle lined up as national committeeman on his ticket.
 The legislative lineup is split two ways-the e Juneau crowd supporting one crowd with Ketchikan supporting an other crowd. This is the result of the break in the Democratic

POLITICS AND PEOPLE

The best minds of Alaska have been too dumb to give resident labor relief from the competi- tiOn of the fish trap system which so efficiently eliminates resident fishermen from that field of industry. Political prom ises have been made and in some instances, effort made to live up to thenl-but in others, pressure by political morons, financial pressure II and moral - has swung control from the masses to the classes.
 It will be but a short while Dow when the political Stumpers nill be turning their gas ol-- fenSive on the voters. It seems to us that the average voter is thoroughly disgusted with tue breaks that they have received.
 Give ten little fishermen an opportunity to earn a thousand collars apiece in Petersburg and they will take care of taxes, mortgages, interest payments and be independent of any help from any paternal source. With 3 little equipment, ten fishermen can produce enough salmon to swap for cash to re-swap for ether essentials, for merchants to buy and swap to support his business in order to make it possible for us to live. It is the trap system, the sychophantic business man, the toe-kiSSer of the greedy interests, the polits cal peewee devoid of humane

tries, he said. depended the welfare Of
the countries themselves. This was
taken to imply that Canada wanted the
conference to make some disposition Of
her annual wheat surplus problem. The
possibility has not passed, however, that
the London government may still at
tempt an emplre wheat solution.
A virtual demand has been made
that the British markets boycott Rus
sian wheat and take empire grain In
its place.
Foreign countries get an annual aver
age Of more than 500, 900, 600 Of Great
Britain's total outlay for beef. Aus
tralia now is Britain's most important
source of beef within the empire.
The empire has an apparent annual
deficiency of 2,oll,S97 hundredweight
dredweight Of bacon and hams, 2,7S9,-
ITO hundredweight Of butter, 3,s0l ,230
of apples and a deficiency Of $1,000, 600
worth of citrus fruits and f4,s6s, TOT
worth of canned and preserved fruits.
In 1924 the United Kingdom had q
per capita consumption of 100 apples,
80 of which were supplied by the
United States. Foreign countries sup
plies "a per cent Of all fresh fruits
consumed In Britain from 1925 to 1928.
1t is said that all Of the dominions
could materially increase their yields
of one or more OF the deficient prod
ucts II given preference against foreign
ers. In Tobacco alone, $4,000, 900
worth of which was sold to Great Brit
ain by the United States in 1880, the
British Empire has deficiency Of l.

ada now is the greatest producer of the
commonwealth, but Australia, India,
South Africa and some of the African
colonies are potentially large tobacco
regions.
The unofficial British view of the
British delegation was that Senator
Borah's offer to support an interna-
tional conference to deal with war debts
involved the success of the conference
here.
While the delegates insisted the po-
sition Of the chairman of the Foreign
Affairs Committee of the American SEN
ate was a matter for London to discuss
they indicated that definite action OH
war debts was a necessary complement
to the accomplishments of this con-
| ference.
A spokesman said leadership Of the
kind Senator Borah seemed willing to
offer should make 1t possible to work
toward an international agreement on
many major economic problems of the
world. He said Europe long had hoped
for some such leadership in the United
States, believing commodity price re.
covery hinged on settlement Of the
question which the American view Se
far has made impossible.

that at least five other tenants had been
