Jobs, Wages and Relief.
(New York Times.)

(New York Times)
 The trustworthy estimates prepared each month by the Buraeu of Labor statistics show sharp gains in December for both factory employment and pay rolls This is particularly encouraging for two req sons: first, because the gains made are the largest report for any December since 1919; second because the most pronounced improvement came in the durable goods group, which has hitherto been lag ging far behind industries producing foods and textiles and other goods for more or less immediate consumption. Blast furnaces, steel works, rolling mills, foundries machine shops and railroad re- pair shops all contributed to the gains made in December
 Considering all manufacturing industries as a whole, both employment and payrolls are now higher than they were in the Fall of l93l Yet the expenditures of the Federal Government for re- lief are far larger than they were then. In 1881 neither EZRA nor CCC had been created. Now they are spending at the rate of more than two billion dollars annually What is the explanation of this enormous flow of Federal funds if both factory employment and payrolls have recovered to the level of late 1881?
 Doubtless part of the explanation lies in the fact that private and local governmental agencies now carry smaller share of the total relief burden, with the consequence that the Federal Government has been forced to accept larger share Doubtless too, private resources which those without work formerly. relied have now been exhausted in many cases But with due allowance for these facts, it is reasonable to believe that of the major causes of the great flow of Federal funds today is that the relief rolls include many part-time workers who in the past were not accustomed 10 supplement their by seeking assistance from the Government It is one of the merits of the new "work-relef plan-provded it is put into effect in the form in which the President originally pro- posed it-that it sets up means test" for Fed eral relief the willingness of the applicant to accept full time employment at wages properly below those paid in private managed industry.

ADVERTISING JUNEAU.

There are citizens of Juneau who dismiss all talk of town boosting a form of bunk. They profess to believe that nobody anything when prasing his own home town and insist that its growth will come along as a matter of course
 In this attitude they are mistaken This is a day of advertising what you have to offer. The biggest factor in business is correct advertising. If you don't think that it will help community you ought to see what California and Florida and way stations have accomplished through publicity.
 This does not mean, however, that every com munity must go after tourists, or even after industries There other ways to make city great. Mere size is not the criterion of progress To build up an excellent community spirit to attract to town decent citizens and to spread among the inhabitants of Juneau friendlier feeling is worth while, if great material growth immediately follows

The Presidents Champion.
(New York TimeS.) By Senator CARTER GLASS

(New York TmeS.)
 By Senator CARTER GLASS In a Plea to His Colleagues, He Asked Them to
 Defeat the Prevailing Wage" Amendment am sure that it is not in the mind of the President that he will administer this act that it would degrade the wage structure in private industry. And I say to you this act will not so operate.
 It is the purpose of the President to give the people on relief rolls opportunity to recover and maintain their selfrespect and to provide them an opportunity for rendering some service for what they are now being paid from the Federal Treasury If we should go far as to break the credit of the United States what would happen to the wage-earners? They would be that class which would feel the disastrous effects of the breakdown of our credit.

Possibilities.

Momentous responsibility rests upon
the shoulders of the League members,
for now they must make a definite
choice; they must decide either to
apply punitive sanctions to Italy, thus
risking a general war, or they must,
jeopardizing their own prestige, sub
nit to Italy's African expansionist
program, and let Mussolini, unop-
posed, take Ethiopia.
In the latter case the League as a
peace-preserving organization will
face utter collapse. 1t will hardly be
able to survive such a disgraceful de-
feat.
But if the League decides, as it
can decide under its own fundamental
law, to apply sanctions to an aggres-
sor nation, it is most likely that Italy
will strike back. And that means
war. No further assurance than
Mussolini's own words sanctions
mean warfare needed.
Mediterranean Problems.
Great Britain, anticipating the ap-
plication of sanctions, is ready for the
emergency; she has the greater part
of her mighty fleet stationed in the
Mediterranean sea, ready to strike at
a moments notice. French and Rus
sian warships are said to be moving
about in the Mediterranean, and vague
reports have been heard to the effect
that Turkey is preparing to fortify

neither in nor out at Gibraltar, at the
Suez canal or at the Dardanelles-
and other entrances and exits there
are not, except over land and via the
air.
Now, the naval preparations south
of Italy and to the east and west OF
her do not mean that the League ma
tions will declare war as soon as the
attack on Ethiopia begins, but it does
mean that if the League DEGREES sane

Italy will not accept such resistance

SHALL WE MURDER THE
UNBORN i?
BY S. o. SANDERSON,
Rochester, Mimi.

"Shall We Murder the Unborn"
That was the topic of lecture de-
livered in Rochester, recently.
By all means, NOT. Moral as well
as monetary reasons forbid that this
should be done.
Morally, any right minded person
will say NO.
Under our present orthodox none
tary and fiscal system. the money len
ders will say NO.-You shall give us
mortgage on them.
Should all the unborn be murdered,
there would, in a few years, be no Sc
curity left for the money changers
Loans.
In all history, the chief aim of the
international bankers and money
changers has been to plunge nations
into bondage (interest bearing debt).
About the only way this can be most
effectively accomplished, is through
periodic wars.

Reserve Bank Act, was (let us hope
unwittingly by most members) en-
acted by Congress, December %, 1913.

bankers for the financing of the
