ADMINISTRATION STICKING TO
 STRAIGHT LINE.

That the Administration has intention of being swerved from it's purpose of elevatng domestic prices and increasing industrial activity and un- employment is clearly to be deduced from all of the -utterances of the past few days. No foreign entangements are to be permitted to alter the re- mobilization of American trade
 It is well-known that the President and Miss Perkins have set as their goal the removal of 6000000 from the ranks of unemployed before the year is out Latest figures show that 629 O0O new jobs have been created in the nation in the past two months 100000 since May 1. Prospects of putting 100000 men to work by the year-end no longer seem hopeless
 Especially is this the probable in view of the progressveness of large corporations in ad- vancing wage scales business moves toward. Gen. eral Electric, Goodyear, General Motors and scores of big enterprises have ordered higher wage scales along with increased working personnel a develop mnt that makes for additional buying power and the natural spread of employment
 Commodity prices have risen tremendously, so that it is illogical to look for further appreciation on the scale of the past month two But money is easy, the spirit of enterprise is revving and there is no solid reason to anticipate sudden col lapse regardless of the vagaries of speculation.

ANOTHER SERVICE RENDERED..

It was largely due to the initiative and aggres- sve action of the Alaska Territorial Chamber of Commerce that the United States Bureau of Mines last week entered into agreement with the Territorial Government to take the cooperative mining investigations in Alaska, thus making pos sble the continuance of that great activity, and the retention of B. D. Stewart in charge of it. It would have been a serious loss to the Territory had the work been discontinued as proposed by the United States Geological Survey. It came as a surprise one that shocked that the latter organization decided to eliminate the work. It was very largely due to the Territorial Chamber, the ence they were able to arouse from similar bodies on the Pacific Coast and from mining companies interested in the industry in the north that the Geological Survey given any money at all by Congress for it's Alaska work. Yet when it made up it's program, it did without consulting the desires of Alaskans to what phases of it could best be eliminated to meet the decreased funds. And when Alaskans appealed to it not to suspend the work of MT. Stewards office, they curtly refused
 It was after this stage had been reached that the Territorial Chamber appealed to the Bureau of Mines It is greatly to its credit that it did not reject it absolutely. Its appropriations had been reduced sharply Despite that it i'm mediately asked for concrete plan of CO., operation and within a few days a workable agree ment had been made. This is the kind of action that Alaska appreciates. The part played by the Territorial Chamber, which was supported by other Chambers individually, was of real and lasting value. It is another justification of the existence of that body, and one that goes far toward demon strating the claims of it's supporters that it is worth great deal more in actual returns than it's cost of upkeep.

Pineapples and Reindeer.
(New York Herald Tribune.)

Alaska and Hawaii, two remaining national Territories, could scarcely be more dissmilar. The only thing which they have in common is several active volcanoes. The one reaches up the Arctic Circle into the polar regions; the other tends south the northern tropic into the torrid zone. Yet, in these paradoxes of the Pacific, there days in the interior of Alaska as hot any in New York, and in Hawaii there is uncomfortable as our local dog days.
 The Territories also have shared in their i'm munity from the extreme ups and downs of business cycle. Detached from the body of the tinental United States they have avoided the worst vstatons of the depression, and even Alaska of the gold rush never saw more hectic days than our reports from the Pacific Coast tell us that the staple industries of the TerTitoriessugar and pine apples in the one case and salmon and reindeer in the other-are progressing toward normalcy faster than those of the mainland
 The healthier state of their business is probably due to the fact that their principal products foodstuffs of wide consumption at all times either locally in the larger market that begins at San Francisco and Seattle Also, their economy is a much simpler affair than the complicated mechan- ism of business and industry in the forty States As such it is much easier to repair it is easier to repair a lawn mower that is out of order than a great printing press that has broken down. In the way by their very isolation from the bulk of the United States they freed from the more morbid forms of financial neurosis which have crippled the will power of so many They have not been subjected to the shock of the constant array of the graphs and statistics which have assailed nerves and unsettled our morale. They realize that patient who keeps his eyes on the flowers by his bedside has better chance for quick recovery than the who is always looking at the doctors fever chart on the wall.

SETTING A NEW ALASKA RECORD.

Pilot Bob Ellis of the Alaska Southern Airways in flying the seaplane Chichagof from Juneau to Nome yesterday set record in Alaska aviation. The flight was made between breakfast and dinner and included stop at Nenana. MT. Ellis and the Mattern rescue party headed by Pilot Bill Alex ander, ate breakfast here and dned last night in Nome.
 This, of course, breaks speed records. It does, however, go far to establish the practicability of seapane operation throughout Alaska. Ellis flew over terrain wholly unfamiliar to him and in which there isn't single established seaplane land ing field Of course, there are many natural land ing places afforded by lakes and rivers on the route. Carrying five persons as load the hop IS a feat worthy of note. It indicates that a Juneau to Fairbanks route is wholly practicable and its extension to Nome not wild dream.
 The trip aside from the rescue of Mattern is calculated to benefit aviation in the north gen. erally. And it ought to spur Juneau to harder efforts to obtain adequately equipped landing field for both land and seaplanes

Today and Tomorro,u
Statesmanship and Speculation
By WALTER LIPPMANN :

I yroup The industrial interests bott
 ,apital and labor, lean strongly tt
 she policy of expansion and price
 raising.
 The question is whether this con- | flict is to be settled by statesman ship or by speculation. In the ab-
 sence of a positive joint policy by Britain and America, as for exam
 pie the policy proposed by MT Keynes, it seems very likely that the settlement of the issue will be left to speculation. Whether spec ulation, which is tending to in- duce panic on the Continent, will pull some or all of the gold coun- tries off the gold standard, I do not venture to predict. But that the speculation is enormously pow erful no one can doubt.
 The question for us is whether with the dollar depreciated nearly 25 per cent from gold, as it was on Wednesday, we are now some- where near the point where we must take stock and ask ourselves whether the dollar has not de- preciated enough. At this point of depreciation very large in- crease of domestic prices is not only possible but still necessary to justify so low value for the dol lar. A devaluation at somewhere around 25 to 30 per cent cannot now be far away from the object i've set when the Administration left the gold standard It is diff cult to see why devaluation some where around the present point should check, except perhaps mo- mentarily in ultra speculative cir cles, the real and steady advance of American prices based upon the enhancement of purchasing pow CT and the revival of business.
 These are admittedly very diff cult decisions to make. But when you undertake to manage curren- cy you have to have the courage to manage it by making decisions of this sort. The alternative is to let matters drift, and wait to see what speculation will do in the next few weeks. There are argu- ments for this course There are men who believe that speculation will push enough countries off the gold standard to precipitate a worldwide boom in commodities, and that this boom, though it will produce very serious problems in deed, is the natural way by which the world that is too divided to control economic events will emerge from the great deflation of the past four years.
 We are in the region of guesses, for no man knows enough to fore see the future with certainty. In these matters our guesses are like ly to be determined by our preju- dices. My own prejudice would lead to an attempt to cont trol events by definite devaluation in Britain and in America, accompan- jed by a provisional stabilization There are others who will prefer to trust events rather than human judgment. They will elect to let matters drift and allow speculation to settle the issue.

LONDON, June 29-The coun tries of Continental Europe whicl went through the agonies of ex treme budgetary imitation after tht war or witnessed the experienc, of other countries at first hane are now making a desperate de. fense of what remains of the inter. national gold standard. The mos vulnerable spots are Holland anc Switzerland, the two nations whicf still are holding their currencies at the pre-war gold rate. The pressure upon them by competition of the depreciated dollar, of the depreciated money of the sterling bloc, and of the silver countries, is tremendous.
 This competition is not only strangling their trade, but the ex- ample of relief through rising pric- es in America and. elsewhere is producing enormous impulse among their people to hope and to fear that they, too, will have an infla- tion. The repercussions from Hol- land and Switzerland are felt in Belgium, in Germany, in Italy, and, finally in France. In these coun- tries, whatever may be the rational view of monetary imitation, there are great masses of people who have developed an entirely under standable phobia against another depreciation of their currencies Yet their currencies are threatened in some measure by the pressure of external forces, in even greater measure by the phobia among the people. Their experience some years ago was so terrible that there is a. latent panic at the possibility of their being forced off the gold standard again.
 Hence the insistent demand from the gold countries with France the leader, for assurances, for declara- tions for measures to stop the de- preciation of the dollar. Hence their opposition to almost any pro posal which seeks to raise world prices by means which are not compatible with the most perfect and the most soothing orthodoxy of the gold standard The phobia of imitation among the Continent al peoples, the latent panic ex- pressing itself in hoarding and in flight, the political and social ne- cessity of defen ding the gold standard these are the considera- tions which compel the French and their financial allies not only to oppose projects which aim to raise world prices but to demand agree ments which their people will in- terpret as opposing any imitation tendency.
 In this conflict most of the coun- tries which product raw materials and most of the countries outside of Europe which have large inter- nal or external debts are aligned against the defenders of the gold standard. The British position is somewhere in the middle, because Britain itself is divided on the is- sue. The Bank of England and the City, that is to say, the finan- cial and creditor interests, lean strongly to the gold stan dard

2N YEARS AGO
 From The Empire

JULY II, 1913 Judge R. w. Jennings sailed for Valdez on the. steamer Alameda from where he planned to sail on July IS to preside over the float ing court.
 P. S. Early, well known mining man, and his son Rex, arrived from Yankee Cove, where MT Early had properties, on the las. trip of the Georgia.
 Harry F. Cain had leased tho Jaeger Erickson concrete building that was under construction on Franklin Street adjoining the Elks' Hall and planned to furnish it as a modern hotel.
 Dr. I. H. Moore of Ruby, was elected president, and Dr. H. 0. DeVighne of Juneau, secretary and treasurer of the Alaska Board of Medical Examiners at a meeting at which they, Dr. J. L. Myers, the other First Division member, were present. The officers received no salary or remuneration of any kind.
 The venire of fifty jurors was ex- hausted in the Mcdonald case and great excitement and tension pre- vailed in the choosing of a jury. Many were excused because of prejudice against capitol punish ment and others for bias in the case, which was holding the atten- tion of the entire populace of Cas- tineau Channel towns. The jury as chosen, was: Frank Harvey, E. V. Sherman, Fred Handy, J. S.. Molloy, Al Ranier, J. w. Rummell, A. J. Ficken, H. L. Dott, A. H. Mote and J. l.. Gray Peter Schrammen, second juryman to be accepted, was pre-emptorily chal- lenged by the defense, causing a sensation in the Court room. After much debate, Judge Fred M. Brown decided to allow the challenge to be exercised.

PAY To IGNORE
PRICE RISE

The IS per cent pay cut for Fed
eral employees ordered in the
economy act will be retained
despite the mounting cost Of liv-
ing due to the rise in commodity
prices, according to Secretary Of
Labor Perkins.
Boosts in commodity prices
since the new economy went into
effect April IS led employees to
hope that the President would use
the authority given him in the
act to increase salaries in the fu-
ture by the same percentage as
the increase in the cost of living.
Secretary Perkins stated that
it is probable that the cost of liv-
ing will not show sufficient differ
ence in the next six months to
warrant q restoration of the cut.

 The Japanese continued opera tions in the field until the middle of September, but no report was available on the result after the latter part of June.
 The product was packed in half pound cans and sold to Japan for about SIS per case. The steamer

Nagato Maru, mother ship of the expedition, carried a crew of 45 men and, in addition, about 400 men who were employed in can- ming and fishing operations.
 The Nagato Maru confined it's operations to an area along the north shore of Alaska Peninsula in Bristol Bay from about Amak Island to Port Moller, we'll outside of the three-mile territorial water strip Two oil screw steamers of 50 tons displacement were used and about 10 other small fishing boats to work the nets. The mother ship was completely out fitted with modern canning ma chinery.
 During the season, her operations were under observation of the United States Coast Guards Ser ing Sea patrol. None Of her boats were found either in or near the three mile limit. A runor that some of them had crossed into territorial waters between Amak Island and the mainland was said to be UnfOunded.
 The Japanese used eight sam pans in working their nets. Each sampan had crew of 10 men to haul ir the nets. and two larger Samp2ns were used in setting the nets. These are approximately 250 fathoms long and about 10 feet wide, suspended from a haul ing line buoyed at the top by glass balls about three inches in diam eter and weighted at the bottom with small stones or cement. A capstan driven from the engine in the fishing sampah brings the net. in which the crabs are entangled, aboard.
 The fshermen'S working day be- gins at 3 a. m. and averages 30 nets No bait is used, the crabs walking into the nets and getting caught by the foot in the dia- mand shaped mesh. Tn many cas- es it was found necessary to cut the nets to free the crabs, and the investment in nets alone was ap-
