 Request Too Late
 A request from the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce urging the local Chamber to petition the AL aska Game Commission for an ex- tension of the mink season came too late. The Commission, ad- vised of the request, pointed out that a 90-day public notice was necessary before any of it's reg ulations could be amended, and that before such a period could elapse, the trapping of mink would be impossible.
 P. D. Harris, prominent can nery operator, acknowledging the Chambers request that local labor be given preference this year, said Our Alaska operations on uncer- tain status at present time due to unsettled conditions but will cer- tainly bear in mind necessity and desirability of employing all AL askan labor on such operations as we may have"

NEW YORK. Jan. l2.-Debt, says Technocracy, is crushing the life out of the economic system, burdening the machine so that it cannot produce to the full, giving dictatorial power to the bankers --"debt merchants as Technocra- cy calls them.
 Debt is overwhelming, Techno- cracy holds, because it increases almost constantly and thus re- quires the nation to pay an ever growing burden of interest, while, in the meantime as at present, profits do not increase propor- tionately. Debts are fixed charg- es," varying little, while income goes up and down violently.
 [ Technocracy, group of engin- eers at Columbia University work ing under the direction of Howard Scott, is delving into the effect of the machine on the present econ- omic system. Its findings have led Scott to predict the existing structures collapse unless drastic changes are made in the mehads of control.
 Debt Base Of Price System
 Debt is a major aspect of Tech nocracy's theories, perhaps the ma jor aspect, because debt is the base of the price system, and the price system is the general name given this and any other political entity which uses commodity gold in this instance-as measure of wealth, and which seeks to pro- duce for profit instead of for use.
 Technocracy estimates that the total of interest-bearing debt = mortgages, bank loans, bonds and so on-in the U. s. is about S218,- 000000,000; that the fixed charge on this debt is equal to more than half the nations present income; and that this debt has been in- creasing faster than production.
 Other Statistics Differ
 Other statistics do not exactly agree, however. Computations by Dr. Ragnar D. Naess, director of research for Goldman Sachs Trad
The Daily Alaska empire., 1933-01-12
No. 4.-Machines and Debts

ing Corp, show that total inter est-baaring debt in the United States in 1881 was $156,615, 900 GOO; that it was $16O, ,o0O,0 900 in 1930; $161 ,44S, 100000 in 1929; and $158,- 130O00,000 in 1928. These figures compare with Technocracy's only published figure of $218,000, 900, ,0O0.
 Dr. Naess says this debt is a crushing burden but he doubts that it should be given the stress laid on it by Scott.
 Debt increased about 38 per cent between 1923 and 1881.
 Statistics of s.io National Bu- reau of Economic research for the years 1922-l929 show that physical volume of all production increased about 34 per cent. Such figures are not fully comparable but serve to indicate the difference in the mount of change.
 Since the depression started, pro- duction has declined considerably more than debt, but this always is true in depressions. Dr. Naess points out that large amounts of debt are tlefaulted in depressions, and that such is certain to be the case in this one.
 This check, Dr. Naess believes, is more or less automatic, and while such defaults or other means of reducing the debt become more difficult as a society ages, it is impossible to say that debt alone or even primarily would be respon- sible for a systems collapse--be- cause it can be and is in fact re- duced It is rigid, Dr. Naess says, but not quite so rigid as Techno- cracy holds.
 Dr. Naess calculates that 9.34 per cent of the national income went for the paying of interest on the total debt in 1923; that it was 10.72 per cent in 1926; 1162 per cent in 1929; IS per cent in 1881 and probably between B and 24 per cent in 1882. This compares with Technocracy's assertion that half the national income goes for the debts fixed charges.

BERING SEA SOURDOUGH WILL
 RETURN HOME

It's great philosophy that the
 Alaska trail has taught the Sour doughs of Alaska if one can judge by Ed. St. Claire oldtimer of the Boring Sea and the Good News Bay district who has just been dis charged from the Seward General Hospital.
 MT. St. Claire froze the toes and portions of his right foot so badly last winter while he was on the trail that the amputation of four
 toes was necessary. He is rather reluctant to tell about the tragic incident as he, says it "was all jake with him" that it happened.
 He froze his toes on a dog-team mush through the wintry colds last winter with schoolboy When he left with the boy on his sled the boy appeared to be- adequately clo- thed but when they were away out on the trail it was learned that the boy was freezing. MT. St. Claire investigated and found that the boys foot covering was not ade- quate by any means as the leather had deterioated and gave little warmth. MT. St. Claire had good foot coverings on and promptly made the youth put on his muck lucks while he put on the boys. The mush was then completed and when he arrived at his destination it was found that the boy was all right but that MT. St. Claire had frozen his foot.
 Mr. St. Claire praised Dr. A. D. of the Seward General Hospital for his surgical skill and also stated that the attentiveness of the entire hospital staff made his stay as a sickman in Seward much more pleasant.
 MT. St. Claire plans to leave for the Good News Bay district within the next several days. He has var jed interests in that area including promising platinum ground.
