INCREASES HAILED

NEW YORK, April 2s.-Business
analysts, hunting for q ray Of light on
the recently dark industrial horizon,
believe they may have found 1t in an
upswing Of automobile production.
Although cautious Of prediction-re-
membering q number Of previous false
starts-the searchers for the turn" say
that the April output Of the country's
motor factories in all probability will
have approximated or exceeded that of
the same month last year. while in
quiries for and sales Of pleasure cars
seasonal increase.
Output Figures Vary.
Estimates Of the April output Of the
automobile factories vary. but in some
quarters 1t Is believed that production
may approximate more than $4,000
units, while in the same period a sales
volume Of more than 125.000 cars and
trucks Is said to have been indicated.
the automobile trade at this time are
numerous and varied. The more con-
servative observers point out that an
upturn In the motor business always
takes place in the Spring. Others, how
ever. point to the theory that the ra-
pidity Of the latest upswing is de-
ctdedly more than seasonal and is prima
facie evidence Of q huge latent demand
which must ultimately be released with
sustained general business recovery.
Financiers Cautious.
At the same time some financial cir
cles warn that 1t Is entirely too early
to gauge the effect on demand Of the

dollars may be worth only so cents
in gold one Of these days and the thing
to do right now Is to buy the thing
they most want. The automobile, it is
added, usually heads the most desired"
list.
- Whatever 1t is, commentators agree
there apparently Is a growing desire, as
wen as necessity, for the replacement
of pleasure cars and trucks that have
long since sunk INTO senility.

A WELL-DESERVED ENDORSEMENT.

In it's issue of Wednesday, December 6, the Cor dova Times carried the following at the head of it's editorial column:
 For reelection as Delegate to Congress
 from Alaska, Anthony J. Dimond who has
 made good in big way.
 On the same date, special Cordova dispatch appearing in the Valdez Miner, quoted Harry G. Steel, Editor and Publisher of the Cordova paper as saving to a representative of the Miner:
 believe that Alaska is fortunate during
 the present critical period in having its
 representative at the National capital a man
 of the capacity and resourcefuness of An
 thony J. Dimond He is staying at the
 scene of action when he might easily justify
 political excursion back to the Territory,
 and the Cordova Times while retaining
 it's essentially Republican viewpoint will
 support him in the coming primary election
 The Empire was probably the first Alaska newspaper to urge the Democrats to nominate MT. Dinond it's standard-bearer last year. It sup ported him vigorously it knew how in both the primary and general election in 1882. It has watched his work in Washington closely. His assidu attention to every duty his intelligent cultiva- tion of Federal departments and bureaus which have so much to do with local administration, his policy of keeping Alaskans generally advised of pending matters above all his prompt introduction of measures to give Alaskans jurisdiction their fisheries and game and fur resources, and to give them all of the powers of legislation all other Territories before Alaska had, has more than justified every prediction this paper made for him during the campaign. Although he has yet to sit ir regular session of Congress, his record to date most certainly justifies his renomination by his party and his reelection next Fall by as handsome a majority he received in 1882
 The enthusiastic endorsement given to him by the Cordova Times and by MT. Steel, is we'll deserved. We believe that every other newspaper in Alaska regardless of it's politics feels exactly the way about it.

The c. O. P. Attack.
(New York World Telegraph

If there is anything the Roosevelt Administration needs it is intelligent criticism. The President him. self has said so. It is unfortunate that the attack by the Republican National Committee does not meet this need.
 The Republican campaign pamphlet entitled Tories Chiselers Dead Cats, Witch Doctors, Bank Wreckers Traitors" lacks conviction. It hides be- hind criticisms of the Administration by certain Democratic newspapers.
 The glory of the New Deal is in the fact that it is series of experiments in cooperative climbing out of the deep hole we dug for ourselves in the tawdry Juveniles. But experiment to get any where must be guided by intelligent criticism. The curious-and dstressing-thng is that about the only creative criticism of the New Deal has come rom the New Dealers themselves President Roosevelt in play after play outsmarts the other team.
 That is all very fine for the President. But, after all, no leader group should have a copyright on cleverness Byt long experience have learned that two parties better than one. Out of the conflict of half truths, truth emerges
 Unfortunately the Republican party seems to have nothing to offer. The Administrations mon opoly of ideas comes from the other fellows default
 So long as the Grand Old Party has nothing to offer but return to the old bankruptcy, it may as well save it's pamphlet printing bills. Be- cause the public is determined to have New Deal of some kind. The public may not be 100 per cent sold on the particularly Roosevelt brand. But even the minority of citizens who are dissatisfied with the Roosevelt results asking, what IS the alter native? The G. o. P. has alternative
 If the Republican National Committee will go back and thumb through the political copy books, it will find it's forgotten maxim:
 You can't beat somebody with nobody;
 you can't beat something with nothing.

The Greatest Inprove-

Specially treated gold between the heart pierce of the point and the holder of the pen retards fluid flow where it is naturally too free and platinum in the tiny channel which runs from the heart pierce to iridium point speeds fluid flow where it is needed. Only the FEATHER TOUCH point, with platinum IN the channel has this per fectly controlled flow.
