Asks Alaska MIRA Ruling

A definite ruling as to whether the National Industrial Recovery Net applies to Alaska has been asked of General Hugh S. Johnson, NRA
 administrator, by Delegate Dimond.
 The assumption all along has been, If course, that the act does so apply. However, publication of press dis patches from Honolulu indicate that here was at least a'beiief there that NRA was not extended to Hawaii led the Dlegate to take up the mat ter with the chief counsel of MIRA. Tha official gave it as his opinion that the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii come within the jurisdiction of the act, but so that there would be no doubt whatsoever Delegate Dimond is going direct to General Johnson for a ruling.

 Certain customs restrictions gov erning the entry of prospectors into British Columbia from Alaska were brought to pr. Mandy's attention, auch as the prohibitive duty on fire arms and outboard motors.
 "A bona fide prospector should at least receive the same consideration as a tourist" he said. "A rifle is in- dispensible to the prospector in the Cassiar, as there is no other way to get meat. A tourist entering Can ada is required to pay duty on such things, but the money is refunded when he checks out of the country. provided he has not sold anything. 1 think if the Customs Department understood the situation up here. the same rules might apply"

THE MUKLUK TRAIL
From DELEGATE DIoNDs OFFICE, WASHINGTON, D c.
 (By E. L. Bartlett)
IINGT0N, D. c.

It is not easy. or even possible, to calculate what the order will mean to Alaska. That is because of the greatly accelerated development of gold properties which is bound to follow removal of the export ban. an acceleratin which will send zoom- ing production in ounces as well as dollars.
 Last years gold output was worth oughly $1O,2OO,OOO. Had the pres eat situation prevailed then, the galue would have been $13,60O,OO0.
 Lode mines operating throughout the winter will derive constant bene- fit from the order from now on, but with the end of the current mining season near. placer miners will be able to sell only part of their 1888 production at the higher prices.

 At Pan American offices the state ment was made that Joe Crosson and Jerry Jones were expected soon en route to Miami, Florida, from where they will ferry fast Fleetster planes to Fairbanks. where they will be placed in the service of the Alaska company. It is probable that Joe Barrows. operations manager of Pa cific International Airways until that firm was taken over by Pacific Alaska, will fly one of the three Fleetsters north.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2-Seventy million dollars was set aside this week by the Public Works Admin istration for rivers and harbors proi- ects. Wrangell Narrows was an nounced as one of the approved projects. Although preliminary an nouncement did not so state, it is assumed that $142,OOO will be all lotted for work on the Narrows.
 Delegate Dimond is endeayoring to have many other deserving AL aska projects approved, but as is generally known lallotments for rivers and harbors and for public buildings are being made much slower than for other types of pub lie works.

Gold Export Permitted Miners

To those engaged in the Alaska gold industry and to all others de- pendent upon that industry, the "New Deal' this week had a con- crete meaning.
 By a stroke of his pen President Roosevelt increased the value of their product approximately one third when he signed an executive order permitting the expert of new ly mined gold and assuring for it the prevailing world price, which is now about $29 an ounce. Formerly the American gold miner has re- ceived a fixed price of $20,67,

Activity On Tibbet

Test pits eXcaYated by Joe Jackson, the Millionaire Kid" on some benches near the mouth of Tibbet. offer sufficient indications to war rant further prospecting, pr. Mandy believes. Joe's gold-recovery machine did not prove entirely successful, due to the nature of the gravel. It was designed for sand rather than the coarser alluvial gravels. such as are found in the Cassiar.
 Sociable Prospeotors
 The crying need of the Cassiar is men who will work" observed Dr. Mandy, in summing up his impress sions of the country. "It is not the place for greenhorns, nor for fel- lows who wait for the next man to uncover something. It seems to me too much time is lost in visiting back and forth The man on Whoo- lis Creek will walk twenty miles to drink cup of tea with the man on " hOOHlI 1l6Gh. l He uldn Ou w IOOZdI then feels obliged to return the visit. It's continual round of social calls"
 The future of the Cassiar is bright, the Provincial Engineer thinks, and many of the areas have not been scratched.
 The mere fact that prospectors have been crossing a certain strip of country, or certain creek, for the past thirty ore forty years does not mean that it has been prospect. ed,' he said. We found good-sized colors on creeks that men have trampled over season after season, Gopher holes, with a pile of dirt the size of your hat are not prospect holes.
 At the present valuation of gold, there are many creeks in the Cas- siar where a man could make fairly good wages, Dr. Mandy went on, "Of course, he must have some idea

PEACE DAY

IS
While not very generally observed, 9
large number of societies in the United
States and other countries conduct suitable
exercises on Peace Day, May 18, each year.
This date marked the opening OF the
first Hague Peace Conference, called IN
1899 by Car Nicholas III Of Russia. The
irony of fate is seen in the fact that Niehol-
as was killed by the Bolsheviki 20 years
later after being forced to abdicate as
result Of popular dissatisfaction with his
conduct of Russia's part in the world war,
which his ministers were charged with aid
ing to bring about.
Numerous peace organizations exist in
the United States, of which the American
Peace Society, with headquarters in Wash
ington is the oldest, and whose magazine,
Advocate of Peace, is widely circulated.
Some of these peace societies are COM
posed largely of extreme pacifists, who
would not willingly take up arms in defense
Of their country, even if it were invaded by
foreign foe. Others have membership
of loyal, patriotic citizens whose efforts for
peace are in line with those of all right
6
thinking persons.
An important factor in the peace
movement is the Carnegie Endowment for
international Peace, which seeks to pro-
mote the study of the causes of war and
practical means to prevent it, to aid in the
development of international law, and to
educate public opinion concerning these
matters. It was founded through an en-
doWment of ten million dollars by Andrew
Carnegie, who also gave a million and a
half for the building Of the Peace Palace
at The Hague. It is not a pacifist institu-
ton. however, and its personnel was placed
at the service of the government during the
world war.
In the present unsettled condition OF
the world. every proper effort for the pro-
motion Of peace should be encouraged, and
wider observance Of Peace Day would be
most desirable,

UNHAPPY RUSSIA

Press dispatches in The Citizen from
Russia say that the Soviet government has
ordered shift of many million people, who
will be driven from their present homes
and forced to occupy areas designated by
the powers that be.
The idea, as set forth by these dis
patches, is to expel or segregate all who
are suspected of being disloyal to the Conn
munist regime. Through rigid system
of passport regulations, every inhabitant
of the country will be investigated and
practically no new influx of population
will be permitted.
All who cannot prove that they are
100 percent Communists will be placed I'M
der severe restrictions or expelled from the
party. AT present only about 100000
out of q total population of 160, 100000 in
habitants of Russia are recognized as MEM
bers of the ruling Communist party and
this number is expected to be greatly cur
tailed by the new program to be put into
effect on June l.
AS matter of fact, only very few
persons have any voice in the government,
and only one, the Dictator Joseph Stain,
has any real independent power.
Thus potentially great people is en-
shaved under system even more repres-
siVe and cruel than that which existed UNI
der the Cars.
