Gold for Prestige.
Cincinnati Enquirer )


 Most of the recent currency changes in Europe and elsewhere have been designed to protect the gold reserves of the country, well to restore price levels and stimulate business activity. But Italy the victim of her own glorification of war has made very different decision The gold cover of 40 per cent against paper money has been changed to permit a smaller ratio Supposedly this is to permit the maintenance of the lira at its gold parity. Actually it is to permit the Rome Government to use it's gold supply to establish its precarious credit in France the country relied upon to pay for the against Ethiopia
 Under the new policy it will be possible for Rome to export gold bullion in considerable quan- tity to Paris, where bankers will it to buy ra at begged rate By this the fiction of gold standard will be maintained while Itay's ability to buy materials in France and else- where is temporarily bostered.
 Having nothing to win in her African adventure but dubious prestige, Italy is preparing to pay cash in return But gold reserves do not last very long in major war, the Allied countries learn led in 1915 and 1916. Italy begins her of conquest-if indeed is not averted shortly with greatly weakened financial position. It is to be doubted whether she could maintain her credit abroad for than few months of arge-scale fighting, unless French bankers are willing to lend money generously and without any security. Perhaps this, than any other one from his reckless in East Africa.

Keeping Out of Trouble.
(New York Herald Tribune.0

President Roosevelt undoubtedly expressed the opinion of 99 per of his fellow citizens when in replying to question about Ethiopia he remarked that the United States would seek to keep from becoming involved in specific foreign incidents which did not directly concern While President Wilson expressed a similar sentiment at the out break of the World War and for months the United Estates refrained from becoming involved it ult lmately drawn into the fray.
 Fortunately, no immediate parallel exists between the Ethiopian-Itaian dispute and the Austro- Hun
 garian ultimatum to Serbia in July of 1914 But the course of abstention from becoming involved in specific quarres is not always easyas for example, in the Japanese Chinese dispute of 1931-'32 In particular is it difficult if people insist that
 Uncle Sam shall be the moral policeman of the world The threat of war too often can only be quelled by readiness to use economic or military force to suppress it. But this is, in itself form Iof intervention
 Abstention from involvement in the localized Iquarres of foreign States must continue to be one iof the fundamentals of American foreign policy. It goes without saying that the United States Gov ernment will not-and cannot-take any active part in the settlement of the present dispute. The De- partment of State has made it plain that it hopes that the Council of the League of Nations will succeed :n preventing But in seeking to prevent wars nothing short of force be surely counted upon Upon those who will not risk force
 falls the implied obligation to refrain from inter- ferng-or even featuring and moralzing.

"SACHET KITTY" TO THE COLORS.

That war cry over in Ethiopia is getting stronger and stronger In fact, reports have it that the men of Halle Seasse plan to make it so strong for the Italians they may not be able to take it. The malodorous program calls for the dropping of civet cats in the wells the Mussolin boys may frequent in search of water. A civet cat Ethiopian cor respondent explains smells bad as American skunk is three times as large and is known in it's native haunts the "Sachet Kitty" It gives off secretion indispensable to the perfume manu- lecturers, but the implication is that it is not an especially good mix with drinking water.

VALUE OF THE CCC.

Of all the work undertaken in the last two and half years in effort to rehabilitate this country and its people none has been more effective and won more general approval than the Civilian Con servation Corps Without the controversy that has marked other movements, the eco has forged ahead with an especially worthwhile program. Here in Alaska we are familiar with the trail and road building the Forest Service has carried with CCC crews At sitka the excavation work at the old Russian settlement is being done by men en- listed in this service under the direction of the Forest Service and finds being made that will be of inestimable historical value. The cellent work has been done throughout the country and the benefits only to the nation but to the young men making up the corps is apty pointed out by the New York Times when it says;
 The report of the Civilian Conservation
 Corps by the Director, Robert Fechner, for
 the two years from April, 1883, to April 1885
 furnishes very practical and at the same
 time idealistic illustration of the warfare on
 our real and implacabe enemies. Millions
 of covered to control rodent de-
 struction; millions more to reduce losses
 caused by beetles moths and other insects
 and millions to control tree and plant
 disease More than million check dams
 built in gulles to control soil erosion,
 and other extensive work done in flood
 control. Nearly 100000 man-days were spent
 in fighting forest fires hazards e duced over an area of more than million
 acres, more than 1000 lookout houses and
 towers constructed for fire detection, and
 tens of thousands of service roads and trails
 made through forests principally for
 fire protection
 On the constructive side 291 100000 trees
 were planted chiefly denuded areas, and surveys made for future improvement of
 water and timber resources It is estimated
 that the value of the CCC work done under
 the supervision of the Department of Agr-
 culture the Department of the Interionr and
 the War Department approached a half b-
 lion dollars. But that objective value total
 was no doubt far exceeded by the benefit
 to the army of young men who had part
 in this warfare against the real enemies.

BANKERS FIGHT
CREDIT SHIFT

Opposition to the removal Of
control of national credit from the,
Federal reserve banks to the Ad-
ministration dominated Federal
Reserve Board was voiced in
American Bankers Association
Circles today.
Rudolph Hecht, president Of
the ABA, and Tom K. Smith, Sec
ond vice president and former
banking advisor to Secretary Nor
genthau, were understood to have
outlined a program Of action to
meet the situation which probably
will be aired before Congress.
Under the proposal unaccept-
able to many bankers and pend
ing before Congress the determi-
nation Of open-market policies Of
the reserve system would be re-
moved from a committee con-
sisting Of the IL Federal Reserve
Bank governors and vested in
the eight members Of the reserve
board plus four governors.
Elimination of the ex-officio
members Of the Federal Reserve
Board, the Secretary of the Treas
ury and the Comptroller of the
Currency, and one other member,
possibly the agricultural repre-
sentative, from the open market
committee was suggested by some
ABA officials. That would make
an open market committee COM
posed of five members Of the Re
serve Board and four governors,
regarded by some authorities as a
satisfactory alignment and one
which would eliminate the danger
of mixing politics with credit
control.

arreSting and ordering deported
more than 1000 members OF the

BABY BONDS

1t is now settled that the United
States can lawfully incur an indebt-
edness of 45 billion dollars and the
next step is to get the money.
Ordinarily a bond issue is "foated''
in some way, just how the small man
does not understand. This time he
will have chance to see the machin-
cry in operation-in fact, he will
have a change to feed material into
it. Bonds, known as baby bonds, are
being sold in denominations as low
as twenty-five dollars.
A forty-fve million dollar debt is
a large sum, yet it's existence will
not shake confidence in the govern
ment securities to any marked degree
since there is sound logic in the
statement that if the government
goes busted, nothing else can survive.
AS in the days of war, millions
will find it convenient to invest saw
ings in federal paper, in small
amounts as well as large, and will do
so with the assurance that the cash,
in the fullness of time, will return
with reasonable interest for it's use.

SCHOOL TEACHERS AND A
SALARY RAISE

Along with other predictions, it
seems an unquestioned one that the
school teachers in the state are going
to get raise in salary. Long and
eloquent and convincing have been
the arguments brought up before the
legislative committees in Raleigh to
point out the necessity for such a
raise.
If we are going 10 entrust the
training Of our most precious pos
sessions-our children-to the teach
ers Of the state, surely nothing is
more important than seeing that
those teachers are paid enough to
warrant their doing their dead level
best. It is not the fault of the teach
er but Of the committee who hires
him, if he is not competent or willing
to teach so that his children will at
tain the standards they should. There
is no scarcity in the profession de-
spite the depression and we should
see to it that teachers are worth their
salaries and then pay them enough to
be worth something to our children.

WE DO NOT JOIN THE
WORLD COURT


While statesmen and orators in
Washington spoke long and hard for
and against the proposal that the
United States enter into the World
Court, the spirit that prompted the
Monroe Doctrine triumphed, and the
vote Of Congress was against our
entering in to alliances with foreign
powers.
The general consensus Of opinion in
Washington is that defeat was due
to lack Of confidence in the Euro
pean nations and that the Senators
were afraid to trust defaulters. It is
also felt that the action taken in not
joining is a direct rebuke to those
nations that have scrapped treaties
as being agreements of no conse-
quence while they were able to build
up their armies and navies on money
they refused to pay US on honest
debts.
There would be advantages in join
ing the World Court, but there are
also decided disadvantages.
