The long-neglected basement is coming back to life Many home owners throughout the country are transforming this space, which in the past has been little used, into an attractive play room or recre- ation room or into living quarters.
 This transformation has been made possible by the new types of heating equipment now on the market which eliminate dirt and free much of the space formerly used for fuel storage.
 Improvements to the basement can now be made with no down payment and on liberal monthly terms through credit facilities opened up by the National Hous- ing Act.
 From your local bank Or other financial institution approved by the Federal Housing Administration you can borrow up to $2,0O0, repay able in period up to years, for improvements of this kind

Many people in Juneau are ex- pected to make improvements of this sort as a part of the Better Housing Program. . The first step in building mod- ern basement is, of course, solid floor and complete waterproofing of foundation walls. This done, the walls and floors can be painted or covered with number of attrac- tive materials now on the market
 In partitioning off the basement it is advisable, where possible, to have the stairway lead directly to the recreation or play room, Sc that guests will not have to pass through the furnace room.

With total to date of $1,195. .25, the annual roll call of the Amer ican Red Cross for the Juneau Chapter has already exceeded the amount subscribed a year ago, it was announced today sby H. L. Redlingshafer, Roll Call Chairman for the Juneau Chapter
 All communities included in the Juneau Chapter, with the excep- tion of Chilkoot Barracks have now reported and sent in their allot- ments. MT. Redlingshafer said.
 Communities which have report ed since the last statement was published in The Empire are Yaku- tat, $33; Haines, $28; Chichagof, S2O and Eifin Cove, s5. Both Yaku- tat and Chichagof exceeded their subscriptions of a year ago and Elfin Cove was not included in the list of communities given quo tas last year.
 T am extremely pleased and grateful at the cooperation given me by the various chairmen, other workers and citizens in making this roll call so successful. It is par ticularly satisfying that in no in- stance was it necessary to send out follow-up letters. All contribu- tions were sent in voluntarily, and I believe, before it is over we will have exceeded the $12oo mark MT. Redlipgshafer declared

The Most Complete Agricultural Recovery
In History; The Example of Denmark

ing of grain had been the main agri-
cultural industry, but the opening OF
the American West had all but de-
stroyed the Danish grain trade. A
German tariff wall had been erected
against Danish livestock. AS a re-
suit of the disastrous war against
Prussia and the loss of Schleswig-
HOlstein i'm 1864, Denmark was APP
parently threatened not only with
economic ruin, but with financial
and political collapse as we'll.
In less than two decades the Dan
ish people changed all this. They
changed it without aid from the out
side world. The country literally
rose from the ashes. Today Denmark
is the outstanding exhibit of what
country can be made by wise states

aggressive assertion of scientific prin-
ciples and human rights on the other.
One characteristic of American po-
litics today is that we are not afraid.

tionalistic self-cOmplacency. We are
looking out over the world for ex-
hibits of democracy and of the polit-
ical state. We are looking to Italy,

| 1t became an immediate success. The
cooperative dairy has almost put the
private dairy out of business. In this
little country there are 1,4O3 COOP
erative dairies.
Equal in Importance is the cooper
alive pork packing industry. This
little country is only twice the size OF
Massachusetts, and one-fOurth the size
of Iowa. Yet is has sixty-two pack
ing plants, and had in 1880 killing
of more than seven million hogs.
There is slaughterhouse within easy
reach of every farmer, SO that the
costs of transportation and marketing
are reduced to a minimum. Yet there
is sufficient volume Of business for
the efficient operation of these sixty
plants. The average cost Of these
packing plants is $4,000. They are
operated by experts. They save to
the farmer the processing profits Of
this industry. The turnover of the
packing plants is $125,000,0O0 a year.
They do 80 per cent of the volume Of
the business in the country. Thus
it appears that packing is not an in
tricate business, nor one that needs
to be centralized. The Danes have
exhibited the fact that a packing
plant may, and probably should be,
local enterprise.
The manufacture and export of but
ter is handled in the same way.

old traditions and interests. The ele-
ments in this planned development
are the following:
Elements Of Planned Development.
First, the Danes recognize the i'm
portance of credit and the necessity
for credit agencies which are COM
pletely under the control of the farm
err himself. They recognize that a
banking system under the control of
industrialists is an insecure fOunda-
ton on which to build. The farmer
must have his own credit agencies.
and these agencies must be like the
tools he uses on his farm. They must
be local, intimate, and woven into
his entire economic life. would
place a democratized credit first in
the agencies which have been brought
together for the rebuilding of this
little state, as l would place it first
in any agricultural program.
This credit began with the man
farthest down, in the form of small
cooperative banks, which local banks
in time expanded into a central bank
at Copenhagen. This central bank
was a bank of rediscount. 1t was
more than this. 1t nursed. oversaw,
and protected the needs and the pos
sibilities of the cooperative move
ment, as it modified the credit re-
sources of the farmer and utilized
them exclusively for the farmers
needs.

Russia, Germany. Wherever the po-
litical state is alert we are Observ-
ing, to get suggestions Of what our
own country may be made to be, and
we are using new type of mind in
this inquiry as we never used it be-
fore. We are using men from the
universities who are bringing to the
government not only their intellectual
honesty and detachment. but the same
kind of training that industry has
used during the last twenty years.
The Brain Trust" in politics is in
all respects like the brain trust that
serves industry and finance.
The Danes found their Brain
Trust" among the farmers them
selves. In time they converted these
farmers into statesmen, exporters,
bankers, and statesmen. That is one
of the significant things about this
little country. 1t went back to the
grass roots, to the neglected farmer,
for leadership. And it found that
leadership. and in finding it, began
to rebuild collapsed society. Today
the average Dane is highly educated.
Real culture has been created along
with economic recovery; and that cul-
ture is closely identified with the soil.
Denmark was the first country in
the Western World to have a planned
society. 1t preceded Russia and Italy.
1t was planned much as our cities
are planned, but it cut deeper into

1t aided the members to purchase fer
tilizers, feed, tools, and machinery,
to stock their farms, to build new
barns, and to improve their breeds.
The Cooperative Movement.
The second element is a nation
wide cooperative movement, first
among the farmers and later among
the city jewellers. In the rural dis
tricts. the cooperative movement is
producers movement as well as
a consumers. 1t is a conscious alter
native to state socialism. 1t had very
little aid from the state, but in time
it became integrated into the polit-
ical structure. The objective was an
agriculture that would be complete
entity within itself, in which the
farmer would be his own salesman
as we'll as his own producer. The
farmer decided to keep for himself
the profits which had gone to the
distributor.
The farmer is also a wholesale CO.
operative buyer. He has projected
these cooperative agencies until they
are almost coextensive with his life.
The Danish farmer is often a member
of more than a dozen cO-Operatives.
They embrace all his production ac-
tivities, as they include most of the
buying of supplies and consumers

goods. The daily life of the farmer
is that of business man.
The farmer has established assOcia-
tions for the buying of fertilizers,
feeds, and supplies of all kinds; also
insurance agencies. There are CEN
trail cO-Operatives in Copenhagen for
wholesale buying and selling. Selling
agencies were set up in London to
dispose of butter, eggs, and bacon.
Cottonseed feeds were bought in the
United States and soy beans from the
East, while steamships were chartered
for the handling of the collective i'm
port and export business.
An enumeration of the different
types of co-operatives which have
been developed would fill several
pages. The most important i'm vol
ume and in their effect upon the
country are the following:
