TACOMA BIDS FOR ALASKAN TRADE.

The formation of an Alaska Committee by the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce is an open ana frank bid for more Alaskan trade for that city IS merchants For many years, the lions share of that business has gone to Seattle, and the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce has standing Alaska Committee of many years standing. It has kept closely in contact with Territorial business affairs has always stood ready and willing to assist the local business organizations in matters of interest to them and of importance to the Territory Its services in these matters have been no small factor in retaining Alaska trade that might have been diverted to Tacoma or Portland or some other coast city under different circumstances
 But not all of the Terrtory's commerce has gone to Seattle Tacoma has had a share smaller, 1t IS true, than might be proportonate under all exist ing circumstances. If the Alaska Committee just organized by it's Chamber of Commerce is live and wide awake organization it is certain to develop new trade relations and augment measur- ably the business done in Alaska by Tacoma business firms. Alaskans are a friendly people. Much of their business is founded on friendship And to cultivate it is way to share in their trade. Tacoma's bid, too, may not be bad thing for Alaska little competition is the best stimulant known to business and Tacomas entry into the field actively may bring benefits to local business interests in their dealings with their Seattle friends.

 It would be useless to try to disguise the qualms which the news from Berlin must to all friends of Germany At the head of the Govern ment of the German Republic has been placed man who has openly scorned it and vowed that he would destroy it he could set up the personal dictatorship which his boasted aim. That he has not attained majority of the Cabinet which he, Chancellor, has been forced to accept would be strongly opposed to him if he sought to translate the wild and whirling words of his campaign speeches into political action On the outside stand the powerful organizations of German labor ready to resist, by a general strike if need be- any open movement to set up Fascist Dictator in Germany. It is announced that the national finances will be kept in strong and conservative hands. Germanys foreign policy will remain changed. Best assurance of all is the fact that President Hndenburg will retain supreme con- mand, prepared to unmake Hitler as quickly he has made him, in the safety and honor of the Reich require it.
 There is thus warrant for immediate alarm It may be that we shall the tanned Hitler of whom Germans hopefully speaking. Always may look for such transformation when a radical or demagogue fights his way into responsible office As James Russell Lowell said years ago about the "beggar on horseback" when once he lis on horseback he ceases to be beggar.

 Much of his old electoral thunder has either been stolen from him has died down into a neg lgible rumble. The more violent parts of his al legged program he has himself in recent months been softenng down abandoning. He now has a chance to show the world whether he is anything more than a flighty agtator who has almost un- accountably captivated the middle classes and the flaming youth of Germany. Judgment should be suspended until it is clearly known what course he will elect to pursue. But anxiety will not be relaxed vigilance abated so long as it IS uncertain whether the Chancellor of Germany lis going to urge and seek to compel the German people to take leap into the dark The step al- ready taken is undeniaby critical, and every sub- Isequent will be closely watched in the hope that the dominant German instinct for order, and the determination which Germans have repeatedly shown to stand by and defend and preserve their republic, may again triumph every danger sud- denly rising in their path.

NIGHT WINDS FORECAST BY LIGHTED
 BALLOONS.

Small, free balloons carrying little paper lanterns or tiny electric lights up through the air make possible nighttime forecasts of the velocity and direction of the wind at different atmospheric levels The electric lights, which are heavier and more expensive than the cande-lighted lanterns used only when there is danger that forest fires might be started by the lanterns, which sometimes burst into flames Meteorologsts attached to the airways weather service maintained by the Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the Department of Commerce can follow the geam of the illuminated pilot balloons after dark easily they watch the flight of unlighted balloons by day.
 Each pilot balloon, about 30 inches in diameter is filled with just enough hydrogen to insure its sion at uniform rate of 600 feet a second. The ascent is carefully timed and watched through a theodote, instrument something like sur- veyors transit on which angular readings of the balloons position are made at 1-minute intervals From the readings thus obtained meteorologists compute the balloons direction and speed of travel for each minute of flight This reveals the velocity and direction of air currents through which the balloon rises.
 Continuing by night the pilot balloon runs, which for time have been made at scheduled intervals throughout the day, gives nocturnal fers the guide they need for steering clear of air levels where dangerous head winds prevail and keeping in the levels of favorable following winds

preciation of our own, but they can have no conception of the futility of such action, or of the disaster that would result if all the remaining elements of order and stability in the situation were abandoned. We give a discussion of the money question subse- quently in this letter.
 Against these impracticable proposals of fering hope of anything but continued depression, may be set the advantages of program of cooperation and mutual conces- sion in dealing with the causes of the trade disorder and currency confusion; and of measures that would rouse confidence rather than alarm in capital and put the idle cur rency and credit in the country to work The items in such a program undoubtedly would include an adjustment of the inter- governmental debts to assure that the ex-' changes may be free as long as necessary from the pressure of these great one-way payments; reduction of government expendi- ture and taxation; balancing the budget of the Federal and local governments; and ad- justments of wages and prices in places where an adequate adjustment heretofore has been hampered or blocked.
 We are aware that such a program lacks the appeal to an impatient and distressed people which accompanies the extraction of a white rabbit from a silk hat and that the world would greatly prefer to have the depression overcome by the white rabbit method But there is no practicable way of reviving the exchange of goods and serv- ices which constitutes business except by restoring terms upon which they will ex- change, and by removing the obstacles to their exchange Contrary to a common belief, such road out of the depression need not prove to be long one, for un- doubtedly adjustment of the debts and bal ancing the Federal budget alone would vigor- ously stimulate the markets; and upon the foundation of confidence thus created the cost reductions and other factors of im- provement to which business has applied its efforts during the depression would have an effect now denied them, under the present conditions of disorder and uncertainty

A Step Nearer.

 The valiant and discouraglngy long-drawn cam pagn that Mrs. Margaret Sanger and her associates have been wagng for the dissemination of knowledge of birth control seems little nearer victory than ever before and the battle for Federal recogn ton is step further toward it's goal Mrs. Sangers bill-a very moderate one-has been reported out by the subcommittee of the Senate's Judiciary Com mittee This marks furthest north for the cause, and makes one feel that perhaps the end is in sight, although the two membesr of the sub committee disagree and several difficult legislative hurdles still lie ahead Mrs. Sanger knows that the last yards between her and the goal line the hardest and she characteristically calls upon her patience, her faith and her nexhaustble courage for final effort
 We wish her bill success, not only because it is mere common that hospitals and physicians should be able to receive scientific information and supplies through the mails, not only because it is high time that the whole subject was legally sep arated from obscenity, not only because elementary justice demands that human beings have the right to decide how many of their kind they shall bring into disordered world but because of the pleasure 1t would be to. see Mrs Sanger receive the only kind <6f 1&rEnp6 that she asks.

A part of her mind was recording that Sugar though very nearly obsequious in manner, was far from easy in her company; and another part was preoccupied with times and distances. This other part took complete command as a long, shrill whistle tore across the lights of the town.

 her preparations. No incoming, now. In 15 minuetes she was clos ing up the house and running into the road
 i She thought she might catch the London train if she could get a
 car from garage she knew. She
 was there sooner than she had thought possible but there was no available car.
 She hurried out without expla- nation. She swung down a side Iroad and emerged into a decorous street of offices. Before one of these stood a big, dark car which she recognized. AS she hesitated, its owner came across the pave ment and she dashed up and spoke to him.
 Sir James, could you possibly run me to the station? I might
 just be able to catch the London iexpress, if you would?"
 He started violently and peered lat her over his everlasting smirk
 Get in! Get in! By all means Jones, slip along to the station as fast as you can. Pull up this rug, my dear Miss Barbara; the evenings are far from warm late ly. Though, bless me, you young sters don't seem to feel the cold!"
 Barbara was puzzled by his man. ner. He appeared to force him self to meet her eyes-and yet he was more syrupy than usual as he fused over her. He had turned off the light in the roof just as the car moved away, but

gaze fingered upon her Not Mark not Mark.
 She blew out the candles and scurried downstairs.
 The next few days left her with out word or sign from either of the Lodelys. Their silence stretch ed her nerves and she threw her self into her work to forget the whole affair.
 Then gradually, sfle lost the sense of being a naughty disobedient child and began to paper the kit chen. She was on the top of a step-ladder, her shears thrust into the pocket of her smock, her thoughts straying towards tea and hot buttered toast, when the tele- graph boy came up the path again.
 She called him in and read the message, seated on the top of the ladder. Mark made himself per- fectly clear. Come to me here or consider our engagement at an lend" ki
 No answer" she said.
 She had to choose between her self-respect and her marriage to Mark. There was no mistake about it-Mark was not ill or in trouble, he was just determined that she should step out of the stream of her own life and come to him when he beckoned her.
 She thought, sitting there in the gathering dusk, tat she had no choice but to go; and she thought that this love she had for him was very close to fear and very close to hate.
 But she made no preparation to go. She sat there, thinking and wishing she could have finished the kitchen.
 Half an hour elapsed and then another telegraph boy numbered up to the little house. She read:
 Please, Barbara" There was no more.
 Oh, but it was enough! She dis

Barbara told herself that she would write to Mark and explain that she suspected only mood in him. Then, if it were more than a mood, he could send his cail again.
 She made her way to her own room and lit her lamp. There was an old Venetian mirror here which she had delicately re-gilded She lit the candles that flanked it and looked at her reflection.
 Candle-light was certainly flat tering. It made her hair the pale, delicate gold of the gliding and under each wave it placed a shad- ow It gave darkness to her eyes, the texture of white velvet to her skin, mystery to the line of her throat.

COOPERATION IS ESSENTIAL.

Not higher tariff walls, inflated currency is National City Bank of New York which in a recent survey of existing economic conditions laid stress upon the fact that than anything else just is the need for cooperation and concession in dealing with the causes of trade disorder and cur rency confusion. Boosting tariffs would not force foreign nations to return to the gold sandard they would result in greater curtailment of exports to foreigners who if unable to pay in kind, certainly could not pay in their depreciated money.
 The bank finds the United States affected by disordered trade and financial systems as much as any other country, and that the distress at home makes it imperative to seek relief from it. Con- tnuing it's discussion, the bank said
 What policies open to the United
 States, and what hope of relief do they
 afford? Some believe that ignore the
 rest of the world allow exports to
 dwindle continuously while shutting out inn
 ports by tariff walls, give up the expectation
 of receiving payment on the debts due to

 contained economic system of our town. But
 we cannot believe that those who propose
 this have any conception of the disturbance
 in agriculture and the industries that would
 be caused by an attempt to live within
 ourselves or of the long and costly read

 opinion this proposal offers no practicable
