BINGHAM RAPS
AIR BOARD

Criticizing the selection of mem
bers of the special board estab-
lished by the Secretary of War to
make a study of the Army Air
Corps, former Senator Hiram
Bingham today charged that the
board was "top-heavy" with Army
officers.
Claiming that it's personnel was
far from being representative OF
the aviation industry, Mr.. Bing-
ham, who is president Of the Ma
tional Aeronautic Association,
said that some Of the appointees
knew little about the problems of
the corps. He added:
"What the Chief Of Artillery
knt ws about aviation, I don't
know"
Mr.. Bingham said the commit
tee appointed by the late President
Coolidge, and headed by the late
Dwight Morrow, was a far more
representative and compe e n t
choice.
This committee had one repre-
sentative from the Army, one from
the Navy, two members Of the
House, himself as the representa-
tive of the Senate, a representa-
tive from the aviation industry
and an engineering expert, Mr.
Bingham explained.

WELCOME TO THE PLIERS.

Last week Juneau had the privilege of welcoming and entertaining the officers and men of Submarine Division 12 of the Fleet. This week a similar opportunity is afforded in greeting the two Navy airplane squadrons and the officers and of the two surface vessels, the Wright and Avocet AS was said to greeting the undersea boats and their accompanying surface craft it is a great and glorious day for Such privileges have heretofore to all too seldom and predictions from Admiral Cole of the submarine expedition and others, that Navy visits in the future will be more frequent indeed pleasing.
 In formally voicing Juneaus welcome at the Chamber of Commerce's luncheon last Saturday, Judge Wickersham very properly pointed out that the Navy. and the Army, also have had very large hand in Alaskan settlement and development. The fleet he said brought the soldiers here, and both have been here ever since. No branch of the Navy in modern times at any rate, has given more valuable service to Alaska than it's armen. Its terial mapping expeditions here in 1927 and 1929 explored thousands of miles of uncharted land area, taking aerial photographs upon which is being mapped topographic charts and other surveys. These will be the basis of whatever industrial development takes place the forests of Southeast Alaska Forest Service officials have publicly declared that this work is invaluable, and field men of the United States Geological Survey here have said it expedited their own surveys more than anything else could have done.
 Thus in welcoming the Navy fliers today we greet members of service that has already become in large degree Alaskan. We hope that it may become SO; that the present expedition is but forerunner of the establishment of a base, or bases. for the Navy which will include a sub stantal number of plane squadrons
 Again we say, Welcome Navyl" May your stay be pleasant. We want you to have good time and enjoy every moment of your visit

CLOSING BRISTOL BAY IN 1885.

On his arrival in Seattle Frank T. Bell, United States Commissioner of Fisheries, announced that next year the entire Bristol Bay district would be closed to commercial fishing. This is matter of paramount importance to Alaska than to the salmon packing industry, With the current seasons pack of red salmon plus the abnormal carryover from last years pack the industry prob ably will be better off for the closure It will give the packers opportunity to stabilize the market and move the stocks at a profit which would not be possible if operations permitted next year. There is no question but that the stock of red salmon is larger than is desirable from the view point of the producers. years suspension will benefit rather than injure them under the prevailing conditions.
 Not with the Territory. The taxes from the Bristol Bay pack averages approximately $400000 annually. That is about one-third of the total revenues accruing each year to Alaska from all of its industries. The loss of that will be seriously felt It will mean curtailment of funds for school operation, for road construction, for pensions and others social welfare activities It will necessitate very careful scrutiny by the next Legislature of all appropriations and enforce economy upon all departments. It will be felt in every section of Alaska.
 But in Bristol Bay its effects will be most serious Not only will the general effects be notice able, but the local effect will be disastrous Most or the resident pOpulaton O1 that SecUOn IS WHOLLY dependent upon the fishing industry for a vei- hood If that ceases, Commissioner Bell has announced it will, hundreds will be thrown out of gainful employment. There is no other source of employment to which they turn. This season has been profitable one for. them Their earnings will support them until next Spring. Ordinarily they would go to work then for the packers But if the canneries remain closed, there is no work for them. Lacking employment they will have to be given relief or they will starve Without normal taxes there isn't much that the Territory can do to relieve their wants It will not have the money and it is prohibited from going into debt for that or any other purpose. The Territory, of course. will do everything it If that falls short of meeting the situation, look only to the Federal Government to make good the deficiency. And since it is the edict of Federal agency that
 makes this necessary it probably is not unjust that we look to it for partial relief.
 From long pull standpoint, Commissioner Bell is probably justified in his closure policy. Three wears ago. his predecessor. Henry OMaley, announced if he was still in office in 1885 he would not permit any fishing in Bristol Bay then. The run in 1881 vas practically a failure. It had been growing smaller over an extended cyclic period. Each suc- ceeding cycle year showed smaller runs, lessening escapemeat and dwindiing packs. The only sure

The Business of Living.
(New York Herald Tribune)

There is a story to which various names have doubtless been attached of ambitious young man ruefully but generously acknowledging the superior abilities of great elder. The suggestion is made that after all, the younger man should outlive the other mo" is the sad response, even at living he has had experience than l.. It is easy to overlook the importance of that funda- mental accomplishment; though it is certainly inn possible to overestmate it. The five little Dionne girls have had, among them total of less than seven months experience in the living business, but their mastery of the difficult art has alone suf- feed to make them world famous already. On Wednesday the five of them established five records unequaled, far is known, in human history They had lived for fifty-one days There is recorded case of a single member of a group of quintupets surviving for fifty days; it is said that not one among the few other sets of quintuplets of which there is authentic record has attained th lg like that hoary longevity. They are prodiges at the age of seven and half weeks. Their names even their weighs-a detail which the public has often not known concerning the most famous ladies are familiar by this time in every land where newspapers read.
 It is impossible to lose interest in the Dionne babies, even though they confine their activities to eating, sleeping yelling and living. These are, admittedly, infante pursuits and it is seldom that the reporters find more than a line or two to say about them. Yet as one surveys the columns devoted to strikes purges, economic warfare the activities of MT Farley, aphabetic governance, homicide and public statements particularly public statements) cannot help wondering whether the infantlism is confined to the Misses Dionne. The dress the outward department, of the adult world may be somewhat different but is the difference so very profound? We'll maybe it is; for the Dionne babies are minding their business and doing the immediate job before them with thorough competence, devotion and It remains the most important and the most moving task in the world. These five little girls symbolize the great struggle of humanity for life, and the brief &C., counts of their slender activities remain, out of the daily masses of printed matter, the most in teresting continued story of them all.

Nonaggression in the East.
Cincinnati Enuuirer.) )


 Reports from Tokio indicate that the Japanese Government wants to sign a political treaty with America and England before the 1895 naval conference. It appears that the Japanese want a pact which would reaffirm the principle of non aggression and perhaps redefine Japan's para mount interest in the continent of Asia The hints from Tokio have been received coldy in Wash ington and London, might have ben anticipated
 Since 1922 there have been treaties establishing the principle of nonaggression in the Far East The Nine-Power Pact and the League of Nations Coven- ant sought to establish that principle and particu larly to protect the territorial integrity of China Later the Kellogg Brand Pact sought to strengthen the equilibrium in the Orient by definite commitments against aggression.
 Japan casually flouted all these treaties when 1t served her interest to invade Manchuria in 1881. Having seen these treaties violated, the Western Powers cannot be expected to make another treaty of Manchura and condones the violations of earlier peace treaties.
 The prime interest of both the United States and Great Britain lies in the definite limitation of armaments, to the end that navies will be less costly and international naval building competition will be kept within bounds. This has been ef- fective since 1922 and has been very beneficial Tor all three Powers. There is no need to shift the emphasis to pootical matters in the Far East The real question is one of sensible limitations on the three great navies. By maintaining a united front, England and America can hold the negotia- tons to the course of actual naval limitation.

HOW TOURISTS PAY.

Two things are badly needed by Alaska, Admiral Cole told the Chamber of Commerce last Saturday Development of transportation and extensive ao- vertising In the first, he mentioned air mail service as the most important, which there will be general agreement
 He went into more detail in his advocacy of advertising Here he said, is the grandest scenery and finest climate in the world. Let people know what you have and you will get them in such large numbers you wont know what to do with them First, they will come tourists. Some Of them will become interested in development enterprises and become permanent residents.
 But aside from that feature of the tourist traffic revenues from tourists are not to be belittled This is clearly illustrated by recent figures showing what the tourist trade is worth to France. During 1883, for instance American tourists spent about l500- 100000 francs in France Nor was the American tourist business up to normal last year Tn the same year, French exports to the United States were a little more than half that value-86o ooo00 francs.
 In other words as far as the United States is concerned the tourist business is worth twice as much to France as it's foreign trade. It need not be seriously bothered about exports if it can build up it's tourist traffic with this country.
 There is one other interesting little thing about it. French authorities have tabulated the way in which the American tourists money is spent ln France and they have found that just seven per cent of it goes for what might be called wine women and song That, considering the popular tradition about the American touristsS way ol amusing himself in Paris, seems surprisingly low

remedy he saw to preserve the runs for the cycle was to stop all commercial fishing in 1885. He ad- mtted it was drastic remedy but he was convinced the remedy less harmful than the failure to cure would be. Commissioner Bell evidently agrees with him.
