EXPECT SETTLEMENT TODAY.

The tieup of Alaska shipping may be ended today or tomorrow. Last night. or just before this was written, Gov Troy in receipt of information from Seattle saying in effect that the strikers would release Alaska vessels today. The wish is fervent that events prove this prediction to be correct.
 In releasing the cannery vessels from the tieup, the unions extended the Territory large measure of relief In view of their former insistence that no shipping move except an occasional ship loaded with foodstuffs for current necessities, we can appreciate that the concession their part was not small by any means. It can only be understood on the ground that they have at last come to reaza- ton to the seriousness of the situation which con- fronts the Territory account of the blockade.
 But the release of the cannery shipping does not by any means completely solve problem. This is evidenced by the appeal Coy. Troy received yesterday from Fairbanks center of the Territory's greatest placer mining activities. That told of an acute condition of affairs that is menacng, so far as employment and social welfare concerned, the situation in coastal Alaska. The interior and far north are as dependent in fact upon mining as the Bristol Bay and Alaska Peninsula sections upon salmon fishing. The people there can only be served through release of the vessels normally engaged in transportation between Seattle and Seward Seattle and Nome, and Seattle and the Kuskokwim River
 This applies likewise to the Kodiak, Cook Inlet Prince William Sound and Southeast Alaska areas which depend upon regular commercial shipping to keep life blood moving through the arteries of commerce. Habut fishermen, salmon trolers her ring fishermen, small canneries, and lode mines are served by the commercial transportation com panes. They do not operate vessels. IT the nature of their operations they cannot.
 The release of the cannery vessels, therefore while step toward relief, will not actually cure the evils incurred from the strike AS Gov Troy has emphasized again and again, if we are to continue to exist going political unit of the United States it will require all of the shipping normally occupied here to serve our needs during the short working that is opening in full blast This season will not wait for strikes any than tides will wait for Its movement is as memorable fate If advantage is not taken of it, there is no way of making good the losses after it has passed
 This picture has been painted again and again for mediators State and Federal authorities and for the strikers. If they have been brought to realize it. believe there will be no question about reaching immediate settlement.

In newspaper work, in politics and in diplomacy his clear thinking and forceful activities made him an outstanding figure.
 In his four terms Mayor of Toledo MT. Whitlock did much to lay the foundations for nonpartisan municipal government In his eearly years as newspaperman he became convinced that national political parties have place in city affairs and his struggle against parties in Toledo brought vindicaton of that point of view. Non political city government advanced greatly by MT. Whtlocks pioneer efforts following the turn of the century
 It was in diplomacy, however, that MT Whitlock achieved his great prominence. AS Minister to Belgium, he was at one of the decisive points when the World War broke out. His labors for the Bel gian people brought him to deserved honors and his devotion to his ocuntrys service during the war added to his stature.

A MAN OF COURAGE.

It was proud assertion of Gov James Roph, Jr, that he was called Jim by people than any other man of that name. He attracted a wide personal following in and out of the State and his personal mail at Christmas and New Year was voluminous coming from all parts of the world. He originated the system of extending official greetings to visiting digntaries and once said he had shown New York how to welcome returning heroes. Medals and decorations reached him from many foreign nations whose distinguished citizens he had enter tained
 But he was more than just "greeter" He was an executive of vision and decisveness For l9 years he served San Francisco as Mayor having been elected for five successive four-year terms retiring to become Governor of the State As Mayor and Governor he kept in constant touch with his public he familiar with conditions in the State and because of that a pioneer in work relief in the early days of the depression Elected in 1930 immediately after his inauguration he per- suaded the State Legislature to advance the States building program means of relieving unemploy- ment, then beginning to sizeabe proportions He also directed the establishment of 28 labor camps which provided thousands of men with food and shelter through the winter in exchange for work on roads and firebreaks, thus in measure anticipating President Roosevelts CCC program by two years.
 A man Of intense convictions, he was possessed of the courage to back them up Nothing so clearly demonstrated this than his actions at the time of the San Jose lynching of two kidnapers Gov Rolph was preparing to go to Boise, Idaho to attend conference of Western Governors just before the mob formed He delayed his departure Later he said If had gone away some one would have called out the troops. promised not to do that. Why indeed should I call out the troops to protect those two kidnapers? The people make the laws, don't theyf We'll if the people have confidence that the soldiers will not mow them down when they seek to protect themselves against kidnapers there is liable to bt swifter justice and fewer kidnapings"
 He was roundly and widely criticised for tha statement as well as for his failure to call out ths troops It would have been simple for him to have made his contemplated visit to Boise and let some

FARMING SYSTEM
HELD PERMANENT
Nashville Convention Told
Importance of Capital
istic Features.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NASHVILLE Tenn. December IL.
Americas agricultural industry
should and will remain capitalistic
In form, says Donald Kirkpatrick,
general counsel Of the American Farm
Bureau Federation.
The good Of such system should
be retained, he told the organiza-
tion's convention In an address pre-
pared for delivery today-and the
evils discarded.
"The American farmer" he said,
Should and will continue to own and
control his instrumentalities Of pro-
duction and directly so, as the per-
sonal proprietor and master of his
unit, obtaining q fair return on his
investment and adequate compensa-
ton for his management and labor,
and a reasonable profit for hts en-
terprise"
Services Described.
Kirkpatrick described cooperative
services to be rendered by farm or
ganiZations as including marketing,
mutual insurance, pooled purchases
and other major business operations in
which he believed farmers could eff
feet savings through collective action.
Il might remind you" he said,
that it Is the Job of the farm or
ganization and its service organiza-
tions to solve the farmers problem
before starting in on the thankless
task of revolutionizing the world. .
We do not need to enter entangling
alliances at this time with other
movements
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace, in
an address last night called for a re-
duction In import duties. especially
on products he classified as non
agricultural.
For Tariff Program.
II think it is high time" he said.
that we worked out a tariff pro-
gram. The need for increased i'm
ports Is imperative if We are to main
tain our exports. This is impossible
unless we reduce import duties, and
think these should be lowered on
non-agricultural products, particu-
larly. A high tariff on industrial
products increases prices and reduces
purchasing power"
Increased imports, Wallace de-
clared, would give us sound foreign
market for wheat, cotton, tobacco
and our other exports"
I'VE would increase purchasing
power" he continued" and the farmers
of the South and Middle West would
buy more machinery, not only from
the factories of the Midwest but from
the East" This, he said could be
shown by definite figures as result
ing in a general benefit to industry.
