viewpoints within the government and
outside emphasized Friday the pros
nect Of momentous struggles in which
the winners will be decided by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, by congress, and per-
haps by the direction of the business
curve.
For the moment at least, housing
IS the rock on which waves OF opinion
break most sharply. Secretary 1ckes,
PWA chief. has just outlined the pos
sibilities of a housing-for-recovery
campaign which, in several respects,
is strikingly different from the drive
being conducted by James A. Moffett,
housing administrator.
Ickes, speaking of potentialities and
not of a sure thing, indicated his be-
lief that PWA could hasten employ
ment and help exercise the mortgage
bugaboo by pouring out large sums
on new and inexpensive houses. He
spoke Of long-term contracts directly
between the government and the
home owners, with interest Of per
cent.
Many spokesman for business and
banking oppose the idea of the gov
ernment's taking such direct part In
housing. Rallying leaders OF such or
CARNATIONS as the Chamber of Com
merce Of the United States behind
him, Moffett is pressing the campaign
in which new homes are built with
money furnished by private agencies.
The government merely sets the basic
maximum interest rate at per cent
and arranges insurance on mortgages
up to 80 per cent Of assessed values.
Favor Private Agencies
Such men as Moffett and Henry I.
Hartman. president OF the Chamber
of Commerce, picture such a drive as
one bellwether to lead the nation
out Of the economic morass, just as
automobiles led the way out of an
other depression.
Ickes raised the question how
quickly and how effectively private
business would take hold in this field.
While PWA would welcome large in
vestments Of private capital in hous-
ing, he said, there Is no evidence Of
such a trend
Ickes expressed the opinion the gov

Kohnen Congratulates Hosts
Pointing out that Thursday nights
meeting was the largest in the his
tory Of Lions clubs in North Dakota
with the exception of district con-
vention, Kohnen congratulated the
host club on its activity and interest
In making the occasion successful.
Hascall said Lions International is
the largest civic organization on the
American continent and that It's
growth Is directly traceable to the
need for such organizations to assume
civic responsibility.
I'VE have been forced to the con-
clusion that we are our brothers
keeper, whether we like It or not" he
asserted, and declared that Lions
clubs have been important factors In
maintaining the morale Of their COM
munities and services essential to
their well-being.
Asserting that Lionism helps its
members to get more Joy out of life,
Hascall said many persons might be
termed the walking dead, that their
hearts shrivel up and their spirits
succumb\ long before the date which
finally Il inscribed on their tomb
stone.
The spark many such persons lack,
he said, Is knowledge of the Joy which
one gets from giving Of himself and
Of his possessions to make the world
q better place In which to work, play
and rear . family. The killing in
fluence Is an unbridled selfishness
which gets no pleasure from doing
good for humanity.
For the last six years, the speaker
said, many Americans have ignored
the fundamentals Of life, have active
" engaged in trying to get something
for nothing. They have missed the
fact that the more one gives the more
one has left and that the joys of un-
selfish service are free to everyone.
Lions clubs everywhere, he said,
have shown the capacity to dream
and then to work In order that those
dreams may come true. The man
who takes q crippled child to q hos
pital for treatment Is q much better
dreamer and receives more benefit
than the man who confines himself
to dreams alone. As proof he cited
his own reactions upon visiting q
school for blind children and watch
ing them read In the Junior Braille
magazine, given them by the Lions
International. On another occasion,
q small boy told him, during visit
to q Lion-sponsored fresh air camp
Gee, mister, but it IS great to have
q bed Of your own"
No man ever measures up to his
dreams, Hascall said, but some Of
them can be made to come true II

Tuscan-Penquin Suit Dismissed

The suit of Capt. A. w. Ang- ellsen of the Ketchikan-Hyder mail boat Tuscan against the United States for damages al legedly sustained by his vessel in a collision last fall with the bureau of fisheries patrol boat Penguin, was dismissed last week in the district court at Ketchikan. Damages in the sum of $6, 300 were sought.
 Dismissal was based on the failure of the lbelant, Angell- sen to prove alleged negligence on the part of the Penguin. Testimony, on the contrary, ap- peared to show that the Tuscan changed course while the yes sels were approaching each other, without the manifested approval of the Penguin; a pro- ceedure said to be contrary to maritime law.
 The vessels came into collision a few miles south of Ketchikan while the Penguin was enroute to Seattle and the Tuscan was returning to Ketchikan from Hyder.

LATE DEVELOPMENTS
 IN NATIONS CAPITAL

Delegate Dimond has rtro- duced a bill extending to Alas ka the provisions of the Feder- al highway act.
 Alaska would have 10 million dollars in road funds from the public works administration if it had been under the act last year, the Delegate announced.
 Action by the House on the Feisinger bill authorizing pur- chase of 1l2 billion ounces of silver and allowing payment in silver for purchases made in the U. s. by foreign countries has been called off at the re- quest of President Roosevelt.
 Attorney General Cummings declared the American under world has more armed men than the army and navy con- bined.
 The Senate last week called upon Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau for list of the silver hoarders, which he ear Her alleged had been revealed by an administration investiga- ton.
 With a view to seeing if it can take some of the profits out of war equipment, the ad- ministration plans to experi- ment with building it's own naval aircraft.
 Five hundred men will be en- plcyed in Civilian Conservation Corps camps in Alaska during the coming summer, it was pre- dicted recently by Delegate Dimond in announcing an application to Secretary Ickes for an increase of 150 to make possible employment of that number of natives in camps after April 1.

CHINA OPPOSED TO
 HIGHER PRICED SILVER

Declaring an intention not to allow it's endorsement of the London Silver Agreement to prevent full protection of Chi nese international trade, the Chinese government announced last week that if the United States further increases the free" despite its signature to price of silver it will feel the London pact, to take any measures necessary to that end.
 This means, in effect, that China, although a silver stand ard nation and the worlds largest user of silver as a mon- etary medium is not in favor of further increases in the price of that metal.
 The reason is that since the fall of silver, China has become an important industrial nation Numerous factories and mills have been placed in operation to supply commodities which her people could not purchase abroad owing to the low pur, chasing value of her silver money. As a result China is now producing surpluses of many commodities and is build ing up an important export trade in articles which she for merly purchased in foreign markets.
 Inasmuch as a rise in the price of silver without an accom- panying increase in the price of commodities would tend to encourage the importation of foreign goods and to diminish exports of Chinese comodities, further advances in silver would seriously affect the na- tional prosperity. In addition it might also cause further in- jury by compelling China to export silver to maintain the balance of international pay ments, thereby causing added injury to her economic stabil- ity.
