The Office Of Education, through
its Specialist in Negro Education, re
Gently sem out a letter to several per-
sons holding key positions in the edu-
cation Of Negroes, calling attention
to two important measures of the
NRA program affecting education.
One concerns Federal Relief funds for
needy unemployed teachers; the 9TH
err relates to the Public Works Ad-
ministration funds for building school
houses
Negroes frequently do not share
proportionately in the benefits of
public enterprises, a fact which is
often due to lack of information or
delay in making application. There
fore, the letter was sent out to fur
nish information concerning these
two important relief projects and to
point out the necessity Of prompt
action.
"A copy Of the letter follows:
August q, 1888.
Dear Sir:
Enclosed you will find copies of
communications recently sent the
Governors and State Emergency Re-
ief Administrators, and a copy Of a
news release relating to Public Works
funds The former concerns Federal
relief funds for the employment of
unemployed teachers; the latter the
Public Works Administration funds
for building schoolhouses. Additional
material on the latter is being sent
you under separate over.
No doubt you are aware Of the
measures indicated and are planning
to take advantage of their benefits.
However, because of their importance
to the Negro | am taking this oppor-
tunity to call your attention to them.
AS you realize, frequently in some To-
calities, Negroes do not share pro-
POA SAOiAoISAy III IlO OCIC1lLS VI pubic
enterprises Often this is due to
ignorance or procrastinaton on their
part. In order, therefore, that they
may be fully informed concerning the
important measures under the NRA,
and the procedures to be followed in
taking advantage of them, it is hoped
that you will exert your influence in
bringing both projects to the attten-
ton of leaders in the various com
munities of your State who are parti-
cularly interested in Negro education.
All applications concerning relief
funds should be made directly to the
State Emergency Relief Administra-
tor. Applications for school building
projects should be made to the State
Engineer ((P w. A } as designated
on the list being sent you.
Very cordially yours,

VANISHING GOLD.

Somewhere in the world there is more than Sl5 1000 000O0O of gold that has disappeared rom sight in the few centuries that have elapsed since Columbus sailed westward and claimed the New World for Spain That vast sum has vanished rom
 the books and is lost to service in far financial structures concerned.
 From 1493 to 1892 the world produced about 1 109 100000 of the yellow metal, according to estimates of the United States Bureau of Mines. More than one-half of this has dropped from the vision of It all 536,563,329 ounces mas disappeared.
 Some of this, officials say, is in the tightly clenched grip of misers some in the hoards ol fabuously rich Indian princes. Possibly as much as one-third of the vanished gold is estimated to have made its way to India which hides IL away. Part of it is in the form of adornments that nave been buried with their owners, while vast store of the metal that have fought and schemed for have starved thirsted and froze for, lies Ill unfathomed depths at the bottom of the sea.

Alaska Needs a New Deal.
(Seattle Star.)


 Strange rumblings coming out Of Alaska with the seasonal return of occupied there through the Summer months
 Instead of mining and prospecting by roupes of thousands as in the old days instead of acuWty in all the wide range of openings and offerings that Alaska holds with lavish hand, there return ing men bring reports of inactivity and discourage ment, except in two or three spotS n all the fundamental things have right to expect Ill that northland-a condition than ever ln 3o years.
 While gold production in Alaska is at a stand still the output of that precious metal in British Columbia has increased fourfold in the last four years Mining permits issued by our nelgnoorlhg British Province have increased from 5000 to 1Sooo in that same period, in field less mneralized than Alaska and less than half of AlaSkaiS area
 In the Dominion of Canada, covering all the Provinces a system of Government encouragement Tn the last decade has increased its gold output lh round numbers from $4,000,000 to S4OOo00OO per year. with stimulating benefits to all industry ana financial profit to the Dominion Government amounting to many millions of doLars apoVe itS expenditures in these efforts. And all the while Uncle Sans vast empire or Alaska has been tagging been gong pack, been failing and into the paralyzing grasp oi la few powerful exploiting groups who would drive out all others-woud close Alaska and It's store houses of wealth against access to the millions of Americans whose right to have equal advantage in that field of opportunities.
 According to all returning Alaskans, too these Ibig exploers are in the saddle politically in Alaska las before
 We all remember the experiences of the Kondike ldays from 1897 to 1915, that thrilled Seattle and the rest of the United States and the world lifting Jus magically out of despondency and depression by their nvigorating benefits.
 Those stimulating days and experiences may mot be repeated in their full force and volume, but they might be with discoveries. Great good would come anyway, with organized and intelligent leffort.
 The opportunities that Alaska holds are known now to be in larger variety and abundance than any of us dared to dream decade or two ago. Why then are they dormant? What is wrong?
 The new deal" is not working in Alaska It is the old deal that we thought we voted out last November and fast getting worse.

Father A. P.

 Preparation covering period of twenty years has resulted in the establishment of the New Con- gress and many noted scientists are on both the list of officers and executive committees.
 Much as I appreciate the hon or of being invited to this meet ing of great scientists regarding subjects in which I am greatly in- terested, it will be impossible for me to attend" Father Kashevar- off said.

U. s. Gold Market.
Anchorage Times.)

Establishment by President Roosevelt of an United States Government market for gold and the announcement that the Government expects to make the first purchases of gold under the plan almost immediately will be good news for Alaska one of the greatest of American gold producers
 Washington dispatches say the prices to be of fered by the Government probably will be above that offered by London and Paris. The promise opens speculation to many possibilities
 From all appearance, Uncle Sam does not in- tend to sit idly by and the gold he produces carried away to other countries. He needs gold to back his currency and to store for emergency pur- poses. The recent decree ordering all gold in America turned into the Government treasury and the policy of going energetcaly after all gold hoarders indicates too well that your Uncle Samuel is not unapprecative of the might and prowess of gold. He will not be so sleepy to the yellow metal good Americans dig sent abroad He first gold in the world market Now he announces he will step into the and pay good if not better prices than any others
 Some predict that gold soon will be command ing a far higher figure than any previous time in history. Some enthusiasts predict gold will bring $50 within year
 In any event gold is gold and always will be one of the most coveted of all items There is no danger of it slipping below the old valuation of s2O ounce-and every prospect of it permanently remaining much higher.
 To go into gold mining is one of the safest ventures in the world today-and no field for that industry offers better inducements than Alaska
 With the world stampeding after gold with news of every old mining camp in the States and other countries hummng with life where only ghost cities prevailed for many years-Alaska with her many virgin deposits and her developed properties should thrill with the new life of gold mining next year.

PREACHING TOLERANCE.

A Jewish rabbi, Catholic priest, and Protestant minister being sent forth through thlrty-nlhe American cities scattered throughout the country py the National Conference of Jews and Christians to urge upon the people of this country the great need for being tolerant. Newton D. Baker, one oi the three co-chairman of the conference describes the project as a purely domestic campaign, de- claring
 The National Conference of Jews and
 Christians is interested in our own condi-
 tions It feels that the outbreak of intoler-
 ance abroad must not be duplicated in this
 country The American ideal is inconsistent
 with that spirit, and the conference there
 fore aims by educational conferences to em-
 phasze the American spirit, to instill sym
 pathy and corporation in our own country.
 Whatever may be the concern of any of
 the members of the Conference about the
 overseas situation, the Conference itself
 expresses opinion and seeks to have
 no influence beyond the happy example
 we hope America will set in being country
 in which neither race religion al-
 lowed to be used for political or economic
 discrimination.
 Signs are not lacking that there is need for such a campaign in this land where live and Tel live is the traditional ideal We have groups seek ing to ape Hitler, others who would have America emulate the Fascsts. Lynchings have been more numerous this year than usual. The K K. K as an organization has not broken forth from its shroud but it's spirit that bossomed so noxiousy out of the depression of 1921 is stirring more Strikes and lockouts are prevalent and the darymen and farmers grow violent in their despair Fear of want, insecurity and uncertainty nurture hatred and breed violence.

AS THE STAR PRESS SEES US.

Again the Seattle Star, and other Western mem bers of the same newspaper chain, are at the oid game of trying to stir up something about Alaska' It seems as if they have idea that sinister influences of some kind, probably "'rredatory capital have the entire Territory sewed up and are preventing the development of its gold and other mineral resources by the prospector and individual miner.
 In canned editorial" that is one Whcn ap- peared in the Star the Spokane Press and prooapiy other Western units of this chain, reference is made to "big exploiters who are politically in the saddle as never before" For the edlflcatoh of Alaskans to whom such things must come as a surprise the artricle is reprinted in an adjoining column.
 The chain of papers which carried that editorlal convict themselves of or two thingS-they are densely ignorant of Alaska they are utterly interruptions and without regard for either facts or the truth
 To illustrate the point It is asserted that the British Columbia gold production has increased fourfod in the past four years and that the total output for all of Canada has risen from $4,OOo0oo to s4OOO0 900 in the last four years The facts do not substantiate that assertion.
 The World Almanac for 1883, published by the New York World Telegram Scripps-Howard news paper gives the British Columbia and Canadian gold production for l928-l931, inclusive the latest years for which data then aavlabe, as follows:

 Guests at the Hotel Cain were entertained by an informal musicale in the lobby of the hotel the pre- vious evening.

 William Taylor, proprietor of Taylor's Candy Store, was mak- ing preparations to establish a delicatessen luncheon at his candy store on Seward Street. Charles Bennett, formerly of Seattle, was to be in charge.
 The night school at the Juneau Public School, started the previous week, was progressing nicely, with Professor Bell in charge. There were nine students enrolled and the subjects being taught were, English, writing, reading, and arithmetic. This furnished an op- portunity to learn English at the small charge of fifty cents a week Sessions were held from 6 o'clock to 9:15 o'clock on Tuesday, We'd nesday and Thursday evenings
 MT. and Mrs J. A. Hellenthal were returning to Juneau from the south aboard the steamer Hum boldt.
 The entertainment given by Miss Edith Kempthorne at the Orpheum Theatre the previous evening at tracted a large crowd with prac- tically every seat in the theatre taken. The slides were interest ing and the Camp Fire scene, in which about dozen Juneau girls dressed as Indians, sat around a camp fire and sang songs of their lodge, was most attractive.

While the 1882 production figures are not avail able those for the four years immediately proceed ing are convincing proof that the Seattle Star ana it's fellows either ignorant or deliberately fals- fled the record
 There is no more foundation for any Of the other assertions in the editorial The mineral re- sources of Alaska except coal and oil, are as free to any individual as they to any company. Prospectors have not only not been hampered put they have been financially assisted by the Territorial Government in their work for several years AS to coal and oil any individual has the same right to utilize them under Federal Government lease as any corporation or company.
 The entire editorial is hodgepodge of mouthy yaporings without foundation in fact and wholly at variance with the truth It is interesting merely because it types the class of mind that is always looking for blood, scenng victims and in the case of the Star picking Alaska because people in the country at large abnormally ignorant Of conditions that exist here.

EXPECT TEST
BY H0ARDERS

WASHINGTON, May 2. W.H -
Early litigation to test the authority
of the government to fine or i'm
prison gold hoarders appeared like
ly today. Indications also pointed
toward probable court action 20
clarity the situation resulting from
the governments refusal to pay ma
turing debts in gold coin.
Several hoarders have openly de-
fled the government and questioned
constitutionality of the Presidents
order threatening 10 years impris-
onment or a $4,000 fine for all per-
sons who failed to give up their
gold money in excess of 500 oy
last night. The justice department,
however, insists it will undertake
prosecution of hoarders.
The burden of proof of gold
boarding, it was said today, is up
to the government and considerable
difficulty was expected by the gov
eminent in enforcing the order. As
most of the gold boards are be-
lieved TO be secreted in safe deposit
boxes and home repositories such
as sugar bowls and hollow walls, it
was uncertain as to what steps
would be taken by the justice de-
partment to prove the boarding OF
money.

WRITER QUITS
AS MISSIONARY

NEW YORK, May 2. W.P)-Mrs.
Pearl S. Buck, whose resignation
as a Presbyterian missionary was
accepted by the church board of
foreign missions with regret" will
return to the Orient, but never
again as a missionary.
The author of "The Good
Earth, whose treatment of sex
subjects, and whose espousal of
"creedlesS faith' brought her into
bitter conflict with Presbyterian
fundamentalists, expects to "go on
with my novels she said after her
resignation was made public.
The Rev. DR.. j. Gresham Machen,
chairman of the faculty of the
Westminster theological seminary
at Philadelphia. Who made the or
iginal charges of "hereSy' against
Mrs. Buck, was represented today
as exceedingly reSentful that the
board accepted her resignation
with regret" rather than dismiss
ing her, as he demanded.
Mrs. Henry v. K. Gilmore, a
member of the board who for more
than 10 years represented the other
extreme to Dr. Machen, announced
her intention to follow Mrs. Buck
by resigning from the board sin
order to express my fullest sympa-
thy with her"
Debate over the novelist IS attitude
at a closed meeting of the board,
held yesterday afternoon, was said
to have been stormy.
1t was regarded as significant by
Mrs. Buck S friends that her action
places her in the company of those
missionaries she described in an ar
ticle in the christian Century,
when she said:
"AlmoSt every missionary who
has achieved distinction in appre-
citation and understanding of a cul-
ture which he was sent to Chris
tianiZe, and who has expressed that
appreciation and understanding
has been forced to leave missionary
ranks
