HOUSING, LABOR, FARM

HOUSING PROGRAM: ..Impor- tant industrial interests are en- outraged at the selection of James A. Moffett, an experienced business executive, as administrator.
 LABOR BOARD: There is no conviction in Washington that this problem has been solved. The new boards operations will be ex- perimental, and the lessons learned will provide a basis for further legislation next session.
 FARM MORTGAGE MORATOR- 1UM: Almost everything depends on what the courts do. If whole sale applications are granted through court action, the act could be used for a tremendous scaling down of debts, which many regard as one way of redistributing wealth.
 SILVER: Issuance of the new silver certificates will proceed eau tiously. Official sentiment still opposes extensive imitation.

< BANKS: The administration Is not yet through remaking the banking system. Special pressure will be exerted this summer to get bankers to lend more freely, putting to work some of the bank reserves which the government feels are excessive; and to hammer down interest rates, too.
 SPENDING: No one crowded because the annual deficit was three billions less than forecast four billions instead of seven. The implication was the spending mere ly had been delayed and would in- crease shortly.

Barter or Trade
(New York Times.)


 Secretary Hull has left no doubt regarding his oninion of the proposals for an exact balancing of imports and exports between two nations that trade with each other MT. Full flatly dismisses such a policy as economic suicide" He perceives that only by continuing triangular trade"-Whereby one na- tion buys from another more than it sells, balancing this by selling to a third nation more than it buys from it-can we hope to maintain even our present reduced volume of international business
 The belief that nation ought to have an exact balance of trade with each of it's customers is of those fallacies that possible only in the realm of academic discussion. No sensible person dreams of applying such principle to his private business A lawyer seldom informs doctor that he will give him only as many dollars worth of his medical business the doctor will give in return of his legal business Plumbers are not in the habit of buying from grocers just enough food to offset the grocers' purchases of plumbing repairs Sensible men in general get as many customers they can and buy from whoever seems to have the best product for the least money. This is triangular trade" and the arguments for it are substantially the for world for individual business
 The attempt to attain exact balance of inn ports and exports with each nation could result only in a drastic shrinkage in both sides ot the trade balance In 1883 Germany bought $140,000,- 900 worth of goods from us and sold us $78,OOOOOO worth. If Germany insists bringing this par ticular trade into balance, she by buying some things at greater cost inconvenience elsewhere and by denying herself some things altogether, re- duce her purchases from us by $62,000,0O0. But there is way in which she force to take $62 0000 of her goods that do not want. Further, by pursuing such policy she might en- courge England, Holland, Belgium, France Sweden and other countries with whom she has favorable balance of trade to initiate her. in which case her export trade would suffer fatal blow.
 For the United States, achievement of a direct country to- country balance would involve awkward problems. From British Malaga for example we bought last year $60O00OOO worth of goods and sold there only $2400000 worth We could either attempt 10 force British Malaya to increase her purchases from by 2400 per cent, could cut down our purchases from British Malaya by 96 per cent, in which should face the problem just where to get rubber and tin. Similarly, we could bring our trade with Brazil into balance by cutting down our purchases there by GA per cent True, the $53,O00000 saving we could make by doing without coffee might be deplorably offset if the British should decide to balance trade with us by buying $20000O000 less year But there is no principle too ridiculous for our present-day nation alists to embrace.

Wealth from Hills.
/ Anchorage Times.)

Great pouring in from the hills of Alaska. The gold yield of the Territory this year will eclipse anything in her history
 Literally millions moving in stream through such portals as Anchorage to the outside-moving in particularly heavy volume at this time of the year because of the shipments from the Fall cleanups following the intensive operations in placer and quartz mines.
 The numerous camps pouring out their streams of the golden weath-concentratng as they move down the main coastal route of commerce into Seattle like one great river of gold Into this main artery flows the gold of the camps immediately tributary to Anchorage-Willow Valdez Creek Kus- kokwim, the Idtarod, Flat Cache Creek Good News Bay Bear Creek, Hope and other Kenai Peninsula points. Then comes the huge volume from the Fairbanks camp, and the lesser camps of the Yukon Basin-Ruby, Poorman, Koyukuk Marshall and others. From the Nabesna, the Fortymile Eagle and the Copper River and Valdez Creek areas flow in other precious streams Added to these are the big golden tributaries rising in the great Nome country and its hinterland-and then again the great and persistent golden outflow of the won derful Alaska Juneau Mine-a perfect mint in itself
 With gold stepped up to 75 per cent in value this year Alaska's golden gift to the nation for 1884 promises to total $l800OO0O to $19 OOO-an unprecedented figure. And if the Government steps the price up to $40 or more-as seems likely Alaska will be on top of the world in more ways than one.
 The golden era is here for Alaska and it seems It will glow brighter than dreamed of in pioneer days-and persist indefinitely Great news this laden with opportunities to those who have tht grit and the will to launch into the game

GAINING MOMENTUM.

Two dispatches Saturday, from different indicate that consistent efforts under way in Washington for increased Alaskan Air Mall routes and improved aviation facilities
 One dispatch advised that army officers were eager for air mail in Alaska because the establish ment would mean the construction of numerous landing fields throughout Alaska. Another was the statement of w. w. Conner, of Seattle Vice-Gov- ernor for the Pacific Northwest Area of the National Aeronautc Association that he had reliable informa- ton from Government officials that star route con- tracts would be let for carrying air mail in Alaska and predicted that the main route would be from Puget Sound over the water to Alaska.
 The Juneau Chamber Of Commerce has passed resolutions favorng both Army air bases in Alaska, and additional air mail routes Further the Cham Der has forwarded resolutions pointing out the advantages of Juneau in connection with airways development.
 Thsse substantial, constructive actions on the part of Juneaus Chamber of Commerce, and will contribute to the momentum that will eventually bring increased air transportation and it's benefits to Alaska.

PITY POOR HOLLYWOOD.

Holywood's gone and done it again! If it isn't blamed for thing it's another
 Last week the editor of the University of South Calforna's Daily Trojan" said the Trojan's defeat by Washington State College can be traced back to Hollywood He said some of the Trojan grid Toys of some henna-hared beauty or film magnate," and that a Hollywood paper said half of the first string players employed part time in the studios.
 Coach L. M Eff Jones also told the squad last week, while enroute East, "the talk back home is that this team has gone Hollywood, if there is any truth in this it will show up against Pitt, if we lose I'll be ashamed of all of you"
 Pittsburgh trounced the Trojans 20 to in Sat- rday's game, and of course it must have been naughty Holywoods fault. smart new abi for coaches And the long-suffering film colony just received a worldwide spanking for snappy pie lures tol
 Amateur rules of course disqualify a football player if he accepts money for playing football. However, most large universities endeavor to find part-tme jobs for good football men, who need help, or couldn't attend university without financial aid Many part-time odd jobs in and out of foot ball season are available in the studios, and just why it should be wrong for football men to be working in the studios instead of picking up towels, around the college gym or running an elevator, or being 'bouncer" in cafe or the hundred and one other occupations that college students engage in to earn their way through is not quite clear.
 Further part-time jobs in studies with the pos sble connections they offer after graduation for real good steady jobs -are undoubtedly most desirable to ambitious students, and go a long way to help lift the mortgage the old homestead for the folks back home
 After all it is the football players that pack those millions of dollars in gate receipts into million dollar stadiums every week during the season. that the work of previous players have built After three or four years of being football hero with plenty of breaks bruises thrown in the player graduates

nj lection Of Rainbow to defend
Y the Americas Cup seems to
have made quite hit with
the bonton yacht clubs and also with
the II assorted millionaires who built
her. The millionaires are pleased
because their investment is a success,
and the bonton clubs because they
have been thinking all along that
Rainbow was the incest boat.
There's no doubt about Rainbow's
niceness. 1t warns the cookies of
your heart to contemplate her dapper
frame and to think of all the lovely
cash money that was invested in her.
1t is even more pleasant to realize
that the money will not be wasted. If
all goes well, the II millionaires will
present the country with cup valued
by the most cautious and conservative
appraisers at 100 guineas sterling.
The Shrewdness and business acumen
Of the II millionaires has not been
fully understood until now. They
actually will make profit on the cup
If they win 1t. There have been
changes in the relative value of the

eleven of this year. 1t will be shy
of reserve material.
New York University's staff will
have Yale complexion, being headed
by Dr. Stevens, former Yale head
coach. There are some good men left
in the squad.
The Manhattan eleven will be better
than it has been in the last two years.
The 1888 Bucknen team was a
formidable organization. 1t has lost
practically the entire line and two
backs.
The team hardest hit by graduation
Is Lafayette, which lost 19 letter men.
Pennsylvania hope lies in 81
sophomores. The squad has posi-
bilities.
Washington and Jefferson has been
seriously struck by losses.
West Virginia has new coach, with
good material, and better team is
anticipated.
Georgetown is making extensive
preparations and I will be surprised If
the team is not decided improvement
over last year.
Boston College had serious losses
from the 1888 team, but should have
a good season.
