foundation for lasting future pros perity is now.
 Our present day problems are not a cause for Encouragement, but an incentive 10 greater effort.
 ''In governmental affairs we are bound to restrict our expenditures to those endeavors which the people can better afford to have and pay for than do without. No state is justified in expenditures that are of doubtful benefit. Government is but an agency of the people who support it. Government is of use only when it gives real service. Too many peO- pie in these days look to government to supply their needs when they should be looking for ways by which they may supply the needs of the government. To put it in another way, the true doctrine is that we should have a government supported by it's people rather than a people supported by the gov ernment.
 'It is almost beyond eomprehen- sion that in these enlightened days so many people should apparently be imbued with the idea that they can overcome the law of supply and demand by governmental action or by statute. Demands are made on Congress and received with actual consideration that have not the slightest justification from an eco homie standpoint. The great danger in our governmental affairs is that too many people in public life are willing to stultify themselves by support of measures that are purely political, vote-getting propositions.
 If we want to get out of this depression within any reasonable time, we might just as well appre- ciate the fact that such schemes are bound to delay the return of prosperity No nation can be made prosperous by creating false econom- culture and industry to increase production when more production is not required, and expect to make other people pay for the surplus.

den, did it in rather dramatic fash ion. Despite the so-called gentlemen's agreement on the war debts, French and English diplomacy are diamet- rically opposed today. In the mean time our own representatives have gone about their business with a touching ignorance of the fact that they were constantly directed by France. Now that France has de- faulted on her war debt payment. we suddenly found out we didn't like the French, anyway.
 MT. Paul-Boncour knows that his job as premier depends on an un- derstanding with the gentlemen who voted so noisily not to pay the war debt installment. They are not friendly gentlemen. The talk of the good entente" is decidedly humor- ous-Alamosa, Colo, Courier.

DEBTS AND DISARMAMENT

AS long as the Geneva disarm- ament conference continues to daw- dle along. and as long as the major European nations fail to show any real desire to cut their expenditures on arms, the United States will fail to show much sympathy in the mat ter of revising the war debts. If the countries in question evinced a sim cere determination to rid themselves i and the world of the arms burden. this country might be more disposed to listen to revision or cancellation arguments.
 The case was summed up admir- ably in England by Sir Stafford Cripps, Yoicing the views of the la bor opposition. ''The Americans at tach great importance to disarma- ment," he said, and I believe that if the government had been active in pushing forward a disarmament policy at Geneva we might now be
 
 American debt It is absolutely es- sential, if we are going to enter ne- gotiations with America regarding the debts, that we show we are de- termined to bring about reductions in the burden of armaments."
 Americans will applaud his state ments. The indication that Great Britain, although hard pressed fi nancially, not only pays her war debt installment, but seems to be concerned about disarming, while France, well able to afford payment, not only defaults but turns no hand to cut down the arms burden, will be we'll noted in this country. A rapprochement between England and the United States and a slight chill Illness between America and France can be looked for from now on.-Ex.

PAUL-BoNCoUR, HUMoRIST

On taking over the premiership of France yesterday, Joseph Paul-Bon- cour delivered himself of one of those speeches which Frenchmen do so we'll He announced that he would do all in his power to improve Fran co-American relations, and said he planned to strengthen the good entente" which exists between france and the United States. Of
 curse the new premier had his tongue in his cheek all the time. He knows, if anyone knows, that the
 good entente' of which he speaks is as extinct as the dodo and the dinosaur, and has been so for the past ten years. It is doubtful if France was ever more heartily dis liked in the United States since the end of the war than she is to- day And the same is true on the other side. Frenchmen have as lit tie respect or liking for this country as they have for MT. Hitler.
 The truth of the matter is that this nation is just beginning to get free from France. Her diplomats and statesmen have led us around by the nose ever since 1916, and did the same to England. The latter nation discovered a few years ago that she had better cut loose from the energetic continental power and under the leadership of Philip Snow

duty adds only a few cents, bring ing the Japanese salmon up to about A cents. to compete with the American product which comes to about $1. The scallops sold in Bos- ton today bring S1.75 to s2 a gal lon, wholesale, while Japan cap lures the Pacific coast trade with her SIPS product"
 Here is something of deep con- cern to every Alaskan. Congress must protect our vast industry from serious erippling by the effects of cneap currency and starvation wages of Asia, that permit salmon packers in Japan to undersell the producer in a nation, such as the United States, whose money is on sound, stable basis. The situation affects every person, not alone in Wrangell, but in every other DOT tion of Alaska because the case tax on salmon in our great fishing areas constitutes the major portion of our Territorial school funds, to mention just one instance. If the industry Is crippled, schools of interior Alas ka, though their industries are diff terent, will suffer, as we'll as coast schools from a shortage of funds. in addition, the coast population, either directly or indirectly, suffers when the market for our key indus try is dominated by foreign com petition which by underselling crowds our own people into receiv- Ing less than living wage for their labor.
 There seems to be no argument that the only way we can be pro- tected now, not next year, or the year after, but now, is for Congress, instead of reducing our tariffs in an effort to increase foreign trade, rather to increase some of these schedules to protect our own in dustries from the blighting and un- fair effects of the cheap currency in Europe and Asia. We need a pro- lection that will keep the American salmon market open to American fisheries and American fishermen.

That the people who do the least whining about the depression are perhaps actually hurt the most by it, and the people who do the most whining are sometimes far from be- ing entitled to much sympathy" is contended by Gov.

ILLEGAL NEWSPAPER READING

Until the close of the Eighteenth century the public newspaper room came under the ban of the law in England. In September, 179O, three proprietors of such reading rooms in London were prosecuted by the stamp office and each fined $25 for allowing the use of their newspaper to the public. The stamp office de- rived a large income from the stamps which then had to be fixed on every copy of a newspaper, and the judge decided that to allow one paper to be read by several persons was circumventing the stamp act Manchester (Eng) Guardian.

FISHERMEN FACING DEFEAT

Wrangell fishermen are hit by the same economic law which Is bringing the New England fisher men to defeat. Fisherfolk can battle bad weather, they can show a su- perb courage when faced with the adverse conditions which are their daily lot, but they are helpless be- fore the situation with which they are now confronted.
 The Boston Transcript diagnoses the difficulty in this way: The tariff bill is the fishermans ally, but it's efficiency is neutralized by low foreign currencies and gives lar less protection than when the gold standard was in command of the exchanges of the world. By the slump in foreign money values, the enormous drop in wages abroad and the resultant scaling of the tariff wall, the foreign fishermen are able to give the American fishermen too hard a run for their money.
 For instance, Maine sardine fac tories have closed and the fishermen have put up their boats. There was nothing else for them to do. Some of them may be on the relief list in Maine. Norway is taking the sar- hue from them UTit h sardine that is so cheap that the Maine producers cannot hold the market. About two years ago Nor way was exporting 3S0,000 cases of sardines to the United States, and Maine was producing 1,200, 1000 cases at that time; today these fig ures are reversed, for Norway is sending about 100000 cases this year and Maine will offer only 300, 900 cases, according to Edward H. Cooley, director of the Massachusetts Fisheries Association.
 The sardine market may not af- feet Wrangell but as the Transcript points out, the Japanese salmon in- dustry is running the salmon indus try in the United States, because our tariff is not sufficiently pro- tective against low wages and de- preciated currency.
 "A dollar buys so much salmon in Japan today" says the Transcript, that it becomes relatively unprof- itable, if not wasteful, for the American mechant to spend that dol lar for American salmon. In fact, he cannot handle the American salmon in competition with what comes from Japan and bid for the common trade If the Japanese currency were on a par with that of the United States a case of her salmon would cost so cents; but since the fall from the gold standard the yen has become so low in value that it takes only about 36 cents to pay for it, and the duty, being an ad valorem
