The Presidents Message.
(New York World -Telegram.)

(NeW York World-Telegram.)
 Again the President has stirred Congress and the country to greater effort for recovery His message confirms the faith and renews the hope of the people in his leadership.
 The message reports the state of the nation and lays down the Administrations future policy along broad lines. Following his precedent of last spring, the President leaves specific and detailed dations for legislation to series of later messages on separate subjects
 By far the most significant part of this message it's repeated affirmation that the President will not turn back There is to be not less but more of the New Deal
 Ten months of experiment has confirmed the President in the belief that the old economic and financial system has destroyed itself beyond repair even if he wanted to salvage it. which he does not. And the experience of these months has increased his confidence that the way is not only more just but more practicable and profitable for all classes.

 Enemies of the New Deal dare not fight it openly, but they trying to limit it to emergency measures which be wiped out the moment the sun shines and thoughtess persons forget the last storm and the next
 From this message it is clear that the President understands this issue and that he is determined to fight it out this ground of permanent change versus temporary expedient
 In discussing the Tennessee Valley power and land development he talks in terms of vast and growing national plan immediately helpful but ing to full fruiton only after a generation of continuing government initiative. In the banking field he knows that return to the old rackeeering would destruction of the nation He classes unethical business practices alongside crimes of organized banditry, shooting, lynching and Kidnapping, as violations calling for suppression and prevention by the Government. T am speaking he says "of those individuals who have evaded the spirit and purpose of our tax laws, of those high officials of banks and corpora tons who have grown rich at the expense of their stockholders the public of those reckless specula- tors with their own or other peoples money whose operations have injured the value of the farmers crops and the savings of the poor Politicians mystified by the increased popu- larity of Mir Roosevelt throughout the counry-prob ably the strongest public support ever accorded a peace-time American President after a year in office. But there is no mystery The President as in this message voices the peoples own dis
 trust of the old system and their own determination to build better, safer, fairer America.

TRAP CLOSURE CRITICISM.

Last week. representatives of the seine fishermen voiced criticism of Commissioner Bell of the United States Buraeu of Fisheries saying that his closure of 93 fish traps meant nothing because the traps dummies That does not seem to be fair statement of the The Commissioner published widely list of the traps that were closed The official records show that they averaged more than 45000O0 fish each In other words the average take per trap for each season was approx- mately 48500 fish.
 This is far from being dummy trap Some of them undoubtedly were better than the average shows unquestionably caught less The total take of the gear abolished is impressive and if the seiners- sell all of the fish required to make up that loss to the canneries their earnings next season will be much higher in 1884 than for several years last past.
 The Ketchikan meeting also declared that the opening of large number of bays and inlets to seine fishing meaningless. Perhaps so. But that remains to be demonstrated. Until tested by actual operations next season, say just what degree of benefit will accrue to local fishermen from that step Undoubtedly the Commissioner be- leves resident fishermen will be able to boost their takes from it. If the experience of next Summer proves that it not effective, additional openings be made either for the 1884 or for the one to follow.
 Local fishermen, we believe, will be ill-advised if they iail to respond to the policies of the new administration controlling the Bureau of Fish cries. It is apparently, seeking to aid resident fishermen of Alaska. It is trying to help them develop market for their takes well as to open for them grounds from which they can take fish enough to earn at least enough money to live on If the 1884 regulations do not accomplish this at least long step has been made in that direction And it still has to be demonstrated that they do not do it.

IMPLICATIONS OF THE GOLD PROFIT.

The chief economic effects of the gold profit to be realized by the devauation of the dollar are first, the aid given in meeting the budget deficit and second, the inflationary effect bank credit In 1933-34 the Federal Government will have de-
 cit of perhaps $7OOOOOOoOO, counting its expendi- lures in the emergency recovery program. This is vsstly greater than in 193233 and probably larger realized on the Nations stock of monetary gold when the dollar revalued and this profit is used to pay current obligations of the Government the result will be to cut in half approximately, the budget deficit for the current fiscal year.
 This the avoidance of bond issues in a comparable amount We should remember that a bond issue of s3.oOo,OOOOOO usually means taxes of $2,O000 100000 by the time interest is paid for 20 or 30 years in addition to amortization.
 Even more important than its effect on the budget is the possible infationary effect of the spending by the Government of the gold profit When it checks against its gold credit to pay its bills, the Government does not actually pass out the gold. The checks are deposited in commercial banks, which in turn send them to the Federal Reserve banks for collection and there the sums are entered as credits of the member banks of the Federal Reserve, building up their cash reserve.
 If the Government should spend 000 900 in that fashion, it means that member banks cash reserves are augmented in that sum, and this makes pos sble the increase of bank loans to business otaling perhaps ten times $4O00OOO,OO0. Thus a colossal expansion of credit made possible without printing paper money or issuing bonds.
 This is imitation, but it is form that is dis erect and can be done without the baneful effects of printing press" money, because after bank credit has expanded under the stimulus of increased re- again becomes subject to the normal contro of the Federal Reserve bank discount rates Up to certain point it is uncontrolled, except in the of devaluation and Government spending, ano after that point control is automatically restored In having flexible range of 10 per cent in tht devaluation plan now before Congress, the President is making it possible to limit credit expansion if il should prove that such a step is necessary.

HEALTHY MIL LWAUKEE.

Perhaps the finest compliment from the stand point of sanitation ever to be paid to a city of the first class was that given to Milwaukee recently by the United States Chamber of Commerce. An nually that organization conducts a contest on health standards and conditions. Twice in the last four years Milwaukee has won it hands down. Early this month, Dr. Carl E. Buck. field director of the American Public Health Association notified
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-01-20

Milwaukee health authorities that because of this record that city would be placed in special honor class and barred from further competition for the yearly prizes To be notified that it is too healthy to be permitted to compete in such contest is no mean praise for any community large or small.

The Best Face-Saving.
(New York World -Telegram.)

One of the things we like best about President Roosevelt is the way he a decision when he is convinced that he has been wrong He does not to be troubled much about that bane of politicians face-saving. Perhaps it is because he is smart enough to know that the way to save face is to wipe out the damage done as quickly and graciousy possible.
 His foot slipped recently when he instructed his delegation at the Latin-American Conference in Montevdeo not to vote for the treaty guaranteeing equal nationality rights to women-an instruction which apparently was not approved by Secretary of State Hull and which certainly was not repre- sentative of public opinion in this country
 Following protest from many sources, the Presi- dent took another look at the question Then without hemming and having he cheerfully changed his policy.
 There is no doubt that necessary Congressional action will be taken to make the treaty effective
 This incident is not isolated case. MT Roose- welt changed his mind on outright repeal of Pro- Ihibtion. He withdrew his unjust regulations for administration of the veterans economy legislation There have been other instances At any time this would be pleasant trait in a President But in national emergency when courageous experiment is the only way out and when mistakes inevitable the ability to correct blunders quickly is of the most important attributes of leadership.

Starting my second week with
The Washington Times, I want
to thank my friends for their

tabbing the hunts as something

pf the chase.
Truly my friends have been so
very encouraging, and I appre-
ciate their thoughts of me. I
think the one message OF en-
couragement that touched me
most was from an old colored
friend of mine, Preston" from

folks to finish wild de paper to

I do not hunt nowadays, except

hit we gun ter me-"
However, I am sure my tales
are pretty accurate, for around
the fireside in the evening, when
they tell me about the runs OF the
day, over and over, never tlrlng OF
the thrilling subject, devotees OF
the hunt say the same thing IN
different ways, with, of course, a
little argument sometimes, as TO
who got there first or who jumped
the highest panel.
