Last Years Conference.
(Mancheter, Eng, Guardian )


 If there is thing discouraging than preaching world economic cooperation it must
 surely be preaching Empire Free Trade It happened on Tuesday that both facets of Imperial com merce illumined at once by Parliamentary discussion. While in the Commons MT. Thomas was being shepherded into admitting that since the Ottawa Agreements signed there have been no material concessions made to British manu- facturers by either Canada Australia, suc- lcession of speakers in the House of Lords was de- nouncing the runous competition of the Dominions
 with the British producers of butter, eggs, and cheese. That is to say, from the Protectonists angle, we have had the worst of both bargains.
 The spokesmen for the Government in both Houses put up very lame defense of the agreements. Lord De La Warr could only hope that time would come when it would pay the Dominions
 to relax the letter of the agreements in order to
 carry out the spirit" Mir Thomas referred obscurely
 to circumstances in the DominionS, for which they
 are not wholly responsible which have created diff faculties for them, and then escaped into facetious ness. When remembers what faith was put in Ottawa a year ago. and how the agreements finally concluded hailed glorious achieve ments by those whose hopes ran highest, one can not escape wry smile at these hating excuses. That the World Economic Conference should have failed-as to all intents it has done-is a bitter from the Conference which succeeded?

Another King DethrOned.
Daily Journal of Commerce. Seattle )

Priest and king" of his household and the absolute head thereof is the father as against the mother and her rights to the custody of their children. Such the contention of counsel for the father in court action in New York. It appeared that the priest and king had, during the mothers absence, taken the infant twins and the three other children from the home and placed them where he believed the mother could not reach them But she did and, according to the court the chief difficulty with the claims of counsel is that they are made several centuries too late" Further it has been all too frequent utterance by courts in the past that the paramount right the custody of the children is in the father. That rule was largely the result of the fact that long ago he was the sole propery owner and charged solely with the duty of family maintenance. By
 statute, by changed conditions in society. the priest
 and king claim as to fathers has been reduced to
 mere phrase AS the law grew out of
 ancient statutes, decrees and customs, the mod ern law of domestic relationship is shaped and
 determined by the customs and policies of modern life"
 Thus another crown crumbes and a throne totters and falls. The divine rights of kings are reduced to mere phrase" Many courts have so decreed and other courts doing likewise, and once again the world is saved for democracy-a democracy more vital to the welfare of all than vision of concord in the affairs of nations

 Aids Vessel
 The Trevor returned to the nest of ships about p. m., hav- ing rescued the Northwestern s passengers. The commander of the squadron and commanding officer of the Trevor were praised for their good work in lending help to the disabled vessel. An occas- ional airplane was seen flying ov- srhead and it just happened that Jimmy Mattern, round-t the world flier, arrived in the city that ev- ,ening.
 ' So far on this cruise we had not seen the Eskimos and the on- H snow we had witnessed was that on the snow capped moun- tains; of course, in addition to the glaciers. Our second day in Ju- neau was about like the first sightseeing trips, baseball games, etc. AS in the United States civ ilian Conservation Corps workers were seen working in the forests and on the roads Juneau is for tunate enough to have two hospit- als-one is St. Ann's Hospital, a Catholic institution, and also there is an Indian Bureau hospital, financed by the government and operated principally for the benefit of the natives. It has about 100 beds and is very much like our dispensaries in the U. s. On our last evening in Juneau a farewell dance was given, and then for a new port of call

IMPROVING THE TOURIST BUSINESS.

It is gratifying to Alaskans to find Thomas B. Wilson, President and General Manager of the Alaska Steamship Company alive to the possibilities of the tourist traffic and already committed to a policy of larger and comprehensive advertising campaigns and service improvement as means Of building it up. For many years the people Of Juneau headed by the Chamber of Commerce, have endeavored in a modest way, possible within the limit of its financial resources, to bring here a greater volume of tourists Its main objective was directed to getting them to to Juneau to spend a few days or weeks And while the results were readily discernibe, the success not great as it should have been.
 There was one main handcap-the difficulty of obtaining stopovers with an assurance of getting reservations at any time they were required for the return voyage All efforts to solve this difficulty futile during the years that Summer travel heavy. During the past two years, of course, there has been trouble from that source. But when the current depression is ended and people are again ready to travel, unless provision is made before to take care of the situation it will recur again. In its plans for service betterment the Alaska Steamship Company could take no step that would commend it to the people of Alaska than this one.
 MT Wilson is not the first visualize Alaska Winter playground as well a for Summer tourists. Others have dreamed the same dream, but it still remains in the dream world He, more than anyone else Is in position to do some thing about it. And the interests he represents will benefit than anyone else if he does. Alaska has the Winter sports, skiing, ice-skating, tobog- gaming, sleddng, and the grandest Winter scenery the world has to offer. It would not be difficult nor unduly expensive to develop a number of Winter sport resorts. The Alaska Steamship Com pany has the vessels crying for useful and paying otaIt to fha uTirtar ,,lov ground idea It is to be hoped that its General Manager find way to bring the several elements into effective conjunction to breathe life into his idea.

Mayor Dore Again Battles Tax Masters.
Seattle Business Chronicle.

Struggle over dissipating the taxpayers money is again at Seattle City Hall Mayor John F. Dore wants to continue holding down expenditures,
 and the radical bloc in the City Council, usual, lis opposing him.
 All this in face of the fact that there now in King County than 35,000 parcels of real iestate that have been confiscated for taxes Title
 to these 35000 pieces of property now vests in the County-property off the tax rolls, and remaining property must provide by higher taxes the money to take of this constantly mounting deficit in ordinary public revenues. The Fftts- Misener bloc in the City Council (whose own tax payments negligibe) working a scheme to raise than s33470O0 of added revenues from
 sources other than taxes realty and personality. This means if carried through additional nuisance
 taxes and license fees and occupational taxes-all penalizing people who want to live in try to do business in Seattle.
 A good advertisement to attract capital and desirable population?

how generous or broad the terms of that license may be- with what honesty of purpose and solemnity of promise the inten- tion is declared to leave each newspaper full liberty of expression, the fact remains that on the day which the press submits to a license it will have abdcated its posi- ton and abandoned it's trust
 Once let the principle of licenses be established and way will be opened that cannot be closed for the revocation of such licenses for the violation of the terms or conditions thereof"

THE PRESS RESERVATION.

In submitting the general fair competition code for the newspapers of the country, which shortly rejected by Gen. Johnson and which negotiations still in progress, the Committee of Newspaper Publishers which drafted the code, issued ex- planation to accompany it. Among other things it pointed out that the scales of wages paid by the press of the country higher than those for corresponding work in other trades; its hours of work, except among those exempted under the code well under the Presidents blanket agreement, usually shorter per day than most others; that it's expenses remain high though most other indus tries operating with skeleton crews; and that had other industries maintained the scale of wages, hours of work and full shifts that the press had, there would be need for any code. We do not think the Committee has overstated the case Notwithstanding that the press generally is whole heartedly supporting the Presidents program and enrolling under the blanket code pending the ap- proval of permanent ore of it's own making. The really serious divergence between Gen John- and the press is the right of the. press to operate without being tied down by lcense-the Constitutional right of free press. The Commit tees code made reservation on ttis point, ex- plaining its position follows:
 Now. as to the constitutional aspects of
 this question, the National Industrial Re-
 covery Act provides that those subject to it's
 provisions may be licensed and also author
 zes the use of injunction to restrain viola
 tions. With the authority to license, there
 is also the power to deny, suspend and re-
 yoke licenses.
 These provisions cannot be applied to
 newspapers because of the specific pro-
 hibition in the First Amendment to the
 Constitution of the United States against
 the enactment by Congress of any law
 abridging the freedom of the press.
 This committee is not authorized to
 press any decision for individual newspapers
 and every publisher will, of right, decide
 for himself what course he will pursue in
 this instance Certain considerations how
 ever, must be faced
 Uhr
 First, under a government by the people, and above all in times of doubt and dis tress no single privilege is as essential to the preservation of free institutions free press
 Second no press be free if it may be compelled to operate under license or be subject to injunction. It does not matter

 HONEST OPINION
Recent Visitor with De. stroyer Fleet Gives
 City Good Write-up


 Under the caption, "A Port Hole View of Beautiful Alaska, ? Lawrence Raymon Shockley, Chief Pharmacistst's Mate, U s. N, is writing a series of articles regard ing the trip to Alaska of the five destroyers, recently in Juneau, for the Bremerton Washington Daily News Searchhght.
 One installment of the series, taking the voyage from Wrangell, is about Juneau, and is as fol- lows:
 Sail For June>u
 At 12:30 a. m, July "A we sail ed for Juneau, our next port of call. This is the capital of Alas ka. One of the most interesting sights along the route to Juneau was Wrangell Narrows, narrow strip of water between Wrangell and Petersburg the home of the Alaska shrimp industry. For two hours the ships wound their way through this twisting nature made channel with shores so close on either side that it was possible to throw a potato ashore. A very powerful tide ruSheS through these narrow waters; however, it remains smooth. Going through these mar rows will always be remembered as one of the main thrills of this cruise.
 We did not stop at Petersburg, but from the ship it appeared to be a thriving little town and some expressed a wish that they would like to stop, but our schedule called for Juneau as the next stop. Upon entering Juneau we passed through Gastineau Channel, which was very beautiful. We arrived at Juneau at p. m, and the popu- lation and city band turned out.
 The docks where the ships tied up were thronged with people and everybody seemed as anxious to get ashore as as the population were to see the ships. Shore lib- erty started immediately an d dances, radio programs, etc, were booming. This cruise seemed to be just for one good glorious free for all good time for everybody.
 Active City
 Juneau is modern little city and full of activity. One of the largest quartz gold producing mines in the world is located on the steep mountainside in this city, and is of great interest to world travellers. Modern machinery isl heard cushing and clashing in the northern wilds. The Alaska His torical Museum is an interesting place to visit. Here one sees all kinds of original Indian and Es- kimo art and handicraft-carved ivory, wood and bone; totem poles, spears, boots, baskets, etc. Short trips by auto were available for visiting surrounding glaciers and lakes. The Aux Lake and the Mendenhall glacier were both very beautiful scenes. Mail service dur ing this entire cruise had been excellent and it seems that mail boats arrive from the south al- most every day South" is the native language means Seattle or whereabouts. In Juneau free daily newspapers were passed along on ships immediately after our arriv- al and Welcome Navy" was the largest headline.
 Early in the morning Of July 25 a sharp blast of the ships whis- tie was heard and after fully re- covering from sleep we found that the U. s. S. Trevor, tied alongside had gone to the rescue of the s. S. Northwestern, which was south bound and had gone aground at point between Skagway and Ju- neau. On our second day in Ju-
