ALASKA FLIGHT
DEFENSE MOVE
BY j. 8.
By KINGsBURY SMITH

~ GAAANO0DONA 0VAA \ "A
Aerial survey work to deter
mine the possibilities of fortify-
ing and defending Alaska against
an enemy attack in the event Of
. Pacific war forms one of the
chief purposes Of the proposed
masSed formation flight of 10
crack military bombers to Alaska.
When the 10 giant bombers
wing their way northward in
masSed flight early next month,
they will carry 20 officers and 10
enlisted men whose principal
duties will be to photograph
Alaska with a view to determining
where defense works can be eStab-
nShed in event of an emergency.
War maneuvers may be carried
out by the bombers in Alaska with
q view to determining the ability
of the giant machines to operate
in the northern atmosphere.
The State Department was par
ticularly anxious to avoid having
the flight create any unfavorable
reaction in Japan. Tokyo views
with alarm almost every move OF a
military or naval nature which
this country makes along the Pa
cific Coast. American officials
did not want the flight to cause
undue excitement in Japan, es-
pecially in view of the prelimi-
nary naval discussions now under
way in Tokyo.

BE CONSIDERABLE OF
OTHERS

Our vast system of paved high
ways offers plenty of roof for
every-motorist and every car, if the
drivers only play fair with each
other. Far too many, however,
never consider anybody. but them
selves when they are on the road.
1t is human nature to be selfish,
to be inconsiderate Of the rights
and the welfare of Others. And
when this decidedly human trait
gets behind a steering wheel, as it
frequently does, the results toe
often is disaster on CUR highways.
If those of us who operate auto
mobiles would drive with the
samc cosideration for Others that
we expect others to give us, our
automobile fatalities would be cut
in half in a single week. Careless
ness and recklessness, with their
terrible consequences, would dis
appear almost overnight, as it were
lust remember this the next time
you get into your automobile.

1t is impossible to enter into a
discussion of business conditions
these days without bringing in the
ominous word estrike'. The labor
problem is uppermost in the mind
of every executive-even though
his business has not been directly
affected, threats of a general strike
keep him awake nights.
1t is an interesting fact that we
hear more of strikes now than at
any time since the great postwar
walk-outs-yet the number of men
involved in strikes, and the total
of working hours lost, are about
the same as in the past five or six
years. In other words, so far as the
statistics show, the strike problem
is no more severe now than it was
last year or the year before, or in
booming 1928.
However, the statistics don't tell
all. In the past, strikes have oc-
Cured because of disagreement over
wages and hours. Present strikes
are very different-the strikes, as
a matter of form, make demands for
shorter hours and higher pay, but
those matters are the least of it.
The real reason behind the strikes
is the drive for closed shop indus
try-the unions are out to make
American business 100 per cent
closed shop. and they mean bust
ness. 1t is both amusing and i'm
portant that in at least one case
employers finally agreed to meet
the wage and hour demands of
striking workmen-and were turn
ed down, because they wouldn't
consent to the closed shop plan.
AS for industrial production,
there is little to report. There have
been some slight advanced and some
slight recessions, and they about
balance each other. There may be
a downward swing soon, due to
summer seasonal influences. Gov
ermenr spending still confuses the
picture, inasmuch as it is i'm
possible to tell how much of re-
covery is due to more normal times,
and how much to abnormal stimu-
lation from distribution of public
money from Washington.
