farm prices disproportionately below
other prices; second, the rapid i'm
provement In hide and leather prices
Is taken by some rs quite definite evi-
dence that the back Of the depression
has been broken-hide and leather
prices have headed upward first at the
end of other depressions: and third,
the gains have occurred without any
actual imitation.
This latter fact Is used by propo-
nents both Of imitation and deflation
as Justification of their stand. In
fiationists argue that prices were forced
UP by fear that money was going to
be worthless and that therefore money
should be turned into goods.
Denationists Credit Fear.
Defationists, admitting that this fear
was partly responsible for the gain,
insist that the gain would not have
held, and will not hold, unless justi-
fed by other factors. such as business
improvement and governmental plans
for the future.
AL prices are still low on the aver
age, and the disparity between farm
products and other groups has not yet
been evened.
The Governments announced plans
provide for efforts to bring further
increases by processes ranging from
currency imitation, restriction Of pro-
duction, to the more indirect methods
of encouraging business recovery and
thus increasing the demand for goods.

From New York-or any other Eastern city-to Nome in the days. 3,f5H s5t Such a trip will be easily pos sible next summer, according to Nick Beg, president of the Peril Straits Packing Company and all so president of the Alaska South ern Airways, operating between Southeast Alaska points. s
 In Washington to attend the hearings on the fisheries code, MT. Beg tells how it will be easily pos sible to be in Nome on the third day after leaving New York, trav- cling only over established com mercial air lines.
 Let us say a person Nomeward- bound steps into plane Monday morning in New York. In "A hours, or slightly less, he will have arrived in Seattle. Incidentally he need do no more night travel ing to complete his trip on sched- ule. From Seattle he flies on to Juneau, trip of about nine hours. Tuesday night he remains in Ju- neau and bright and early we'd nesday morning he is off for Fair- banks. With the fast planes which will be in service it should not take more than six hours for that leg of the flight and then he can continue directly to Nome, arriving there Wednesday evening.
 This will be made possible, MT. Beg says, when Alaska Southern Airways inaugurates regular ser vice next May between Seattle and Juneau and other Southeast cities. It is understanding that similar service will also be pro- vided between Juneau and Fair banks. and, of course, several lines operate from Fairbanks to Nome

DIMONDSTACES' FIGHT ON CODE
 FOR FISHERIES
Seeks to Get Local Repre- sentation Before Code
 Is Adopted d
(Continued from Page One)

Delegate offered the following amendment to the proposed code:
 Provided, that the provisions of this code shall apply to the Territory of Alaska only upon the order of the President, and with such notifications, if any, as the President may deem just and equitable, after a hearing before the Administrator or Deputy Administrator, at which hearing those residents of Alaska who are employed in the fishing industry have a fair opportunity to be heard"
 The presiding official ruled the amendment was out of order on the ground that the meeting was one in which the only partici- pants to take part in the proceed ings were associations engaged in the industry and that the Dele gate. having no direct proxy to represent either packer or fish erman, was there somewhat in the status of a guest. However, Dele gate Dimond believes his point was well taken and he will con- tinue to urge that the code be not applied to Alaska, until Alaska fishermen have a chance to be heard.
