Humpty Dumpty was at it again:
And all the Kings horses and all
the Kings men
Couldn't find out what it was all
about.
There's only one subject in
town today, and that was too
small for the League Of Nations
TO quarrel or even debate over;
and that was the fact that your
sweating, fretting novice CORE
Spondent had a birthday.
Even this item was overlooked
by your cub reporter until he re-
ceived a birthday cake from an
old pal in a flock of cables from
home.
Goes Dry In Wet Country
However, it was the dryest
birthday I ever had in a wet coun-
try. But after all, there is still
O convention, no matter how little
it does, and you should be let IN
on the "know."
The monetary commission, OF
which Governor Cox is chairman,
met and appointed a committee
on committees. They reported,
recommending two subcommittee
one on immediate measures and
another on permanent measures
proving the conference is willing
to deal with the present and the
future but is trying to forget the
past.
Signor Jung, Italian finance
minister, was made chairman Of
the first subcommittee and Herr
Keinbock, of Austria, chairman Of
the other.
Then, with grim determination,
they set out for a protracted and
profound debate on whether the
subcommittee should meet simul-
taneously or at different times.
French Dressing Served
When this debate got to a point
where 1t was about to trip up the
days work, up got Monsieur Bon
net, rapporteuer, master of cere-
monies and citizen fiXit of the
conference, and served a little
compromise with French dressing.
His oily suggestion was that the
subcommittees follow Jung's sug-
gestion and meet simultaneously
for two days, and if it didn't work
out in table d'hote fashion, the
idea would be abandoned and the
committee would sit a Ia carte.
There You have the accomplish
ment of the day. 1t seems to me
If they continue to work at this
break-neck speed the convention
will last until times get good-and
then it won't be needed.

THE COST OF CRIME

To the average citizen, crime is a deplorable thing, and something ought to be done about it, but this average citizen probably never real izes the scale of crime in this country, and the amount of money that it costs him, as a citizen-tax- payer, in the course of year. Some data just compiled by the United States Flag association may prove startling.
 In the United States 12,000 per- sons are murdered annually, 300 are kidnapped, 100000 assaulted and 50,O00 robbed. Also 10000 houses and other places are burglar ized and 5000 more are criminally burned. Finally. the illicit traffic in narcotics costs the American people two billion dollars yearly.
 To make the case more clear the gangsterized industry of racketeer- ing, organized under corrupt politi- clans and interruptions lawyers, is costing the American people from

ing in a net loss in available ship tonnage which points to an ulti- mate renewed demand on the ship yards.
 Just as world trade is showing unmistakable signs of reviving and the need for more bottoms is in sight, these shipping facilities have under gone this shrinkage. It appears to be part of the age-old cycle. When the depression struck, ships were tied up in every port for lack of cargo. Fewer orders for new vessels were given and shipyards were still ed because of lack of demand. Now that revival is at hand, a deficit appears a possibility.
 In the fiscal year just ended 749 steam, motor, sail, unrigged and yachting vessels were constructed in American shipyards. The figures include every kind of craft of five tons and over, so a wide variety of vessels is covered, from large liners and cargo freighters to small motor boats. The aggregate tonnage, how ever, amounted to 193,313 gross tons
 During the identical period the losses from every cause which puts mt of for amounted to 901 and the loss ton- mage to S75,971 gross tons. The num- bers of new ships built compared with those lost are sufficiently im- pressive. The net loss was 152 ves- sells. But far more important is the tonnage figure, the real test when it comes to cargo carrying. There was loss of available ship space of 682,658 gross tons.
 The unacceptable conclusion is that the ships lost during the year to the American merchant marine have been ships of commerce, freighters and liners, revenue-producing ves- sells. The figures suggest that the new ships are largely small and in- tended for inland waterway use, for pleasure craft, and for similar pur- poses not calculated to strengthen the United States marine in terms of foreign trade or national defense.
 Such a situation points directly to a period of busy shipbuilding for the deficit being accumulated so rapidly must be made up. It is not character istic for the American merchant ma rine to slip backward so rapidly. But, even with recovery in the shipyards, the lost ships can never be brought back again.-Richmond, Ind, Item.

AMERICAN FEDERATION OF
 TEACHERS ASKS U. S. SUPPORT

The American Federation of Teach CTS asks United States support of education as basic industry.
 In a letter to Gen. Hugh S. John son, National Recovery Administra- tor, signed by Henry R. Linville president, and Florence Curtis Han son, ecretary-treasurer of the Ex- ecutive Council of the Federation the opinion of the organization is expressed that the time has arrived for the Nation to call halt -on the destructive activity of undermining the security of the basic industry of our country-public education.
 Before it is too late" the letter states in part, i've call upon the administration of the National Re- covery Act to give ample considera- tion to the emergency which faces the public schools and appeal to all industries and institutions subject to direct control of the National Re- covery Administration to bend every effort to promote and protect the welfare of the schools"
 The Federation outlines as among the basic needs of the teachers the following:
 A living wage.
 Security of tenure.
 Decent working conditions.
 Opportunity for culture and pro- fessional study.
 Provision for old age.
 'We propose" the letter contends, that in all sections of the country where the school funds available from real estate taxation and from state income laws are not sufficient to pay the salaries of teachers and to maintain the schools on a scale commensurate with the needs of the

twelve to eighteen billion dollars year. This sum represents a sum equivalent to an annual tax of $100 to s150 on every man, woman and child in the nation.
 How should Americas crime prob lem be solved? The flag association is conducting an essay contest to uncover a remedy. But 1t is likely that isolated suggestions by indi- viduals will keep the solution in the realm of theory. What is needed is organized action, not by i1di- viduals, but by groups of business men and civic leaders in all parts of the country.
 With crime costing the American people so much each year, it is ob- vious that the situation offers a fertile field of acton for taxpayers associations. A thorough msestiga- tion of crime-catching, especially in the big cities, might yield some as- tonishing information about the hook-up between chime and govern ment. The creation of citizen police forces may be found worthwhile. One thing is certain. An aroused citizenry, determined to stamp out crime, will have considerable effect in preventing further crime.--Ex.

GOLD NUGGET WEIGHING ONE
 POUND FOUND NEAR VALDEZ

Did you ever pick up a gold mug get weighing more than a pound, says The Valdez Miner. If you have you know probably just how elated Ralph Merrill felt recently when he did just that thing on his mining claims at Bettle's Bay, and he brought the nugget to Valdez to prove his find.
 About four inches long, by two inches wide in the widest part, and better than half an inch in thick ness, the nugget is practically solid gold, with perhaps two ounces or a little more of white quartz embed ded in the gleaming yellow metal. It's value is between $500 and $4O0.
 The finding of the nugget makes one of those stories which so ire quently crop up in mining coun- tries MT. Merrill's mine is not placer mine, but quartz, and while in the past it has produced some extremely flcn ore, no nuggets OI the size of the present find have been uncovered. The desire to stope out to the surface a body of this high grade ore led to the discovery of the slug which is now attracting widespread attention.
 Along the surface of the lead of the body of high grade ore shoot a stream ran on the lead and pre- vented the breaking out of the ore. Merrill made a new channel for the stream, turning it off the lead, and in the old channel picked up this nugget, the largest. it is said, ever brought into Valdez.

 The position of the American Fed eration of Teachers with respect to federal participation in the cost of public education, is based on the in- equality of the distribution of tax able wealth which, they contend, can be reached only by the Federal Government itself.
 The letter also sets forth "the right of teachers to participate in social or political movements, and in other self-respecting ways to con- duct their lives as citizens without fear of reprisal from boards of ed ucation or school committees"

WRANGELL NOT FORGOTTEN

WEangell citizens may take much encouragement from the announce ment that the Federal Public Works Administration has been induced by Gov. Troy to permit the use of pub lie works relief funds on various town and village projects scattered throughout the Territory.
 Wrangell's patience has been sorely tried as one after another announcement of allocation of re- lief funds has passed us by, but we have not lost faith that our needs will be remembered even tually.
 So far, Wrangell's only allotment has been an Alaska Game Commits sion float to cost 5000. Press dis patches carrying the announcement a few weeks ago of allocation of road funds, stated that Mitkof high way, Wrangell, had been allocated $35,O0O: but Mitkof Highway is a Petersburg project and Wrangell has so far been left out of all road allotments.
 Announcement that approximate ly $15O,000 had been allotted for improvement of Wrangell Narrows, would convey the impression to the greater part of the Territory, that this would benefit Wrangell. How ever, Wrangell Narrows is a mis- homer, and all benefit from the all lotment will accrue to Petersburg.
 Mayor Dalgity some months ago asked Gov. Troy for an allotment of $35,000 to construct a Front Street bulkhead. The dredging of Wrangell Harbor was authorized by Congress long ago, but funds for the appropri- ation have not been available. It is the expectation of Wrangell that the dredged material instead of being loaded on scows and taken out to deep water will be used as Front Street fill back of the proposed bulkhead.
 Wrangell need not be afraid that 1t will be the Forgotten City" so far as Gov. Troy is concerned. We may be sure that the governor is keeping us in mind and that our allotments will come very soon, for he knows that Wrangell needs a relief project and needs it badly, and he knows that the projects asked are necessary to the public welfare, quite aside from the unemployment situation.
