Loan Rate Pared

Last Monday the Senate voted to
spend again beyond White House
plans. BY a vote of 40 to 80 it
adopted the Wheeler amendment to
the emergency Farm Mortgage. Act
Of 1888 reducing the rate of inter-
est to be paid by farmers from Az
per cent to 3i5 per cent. Chairman
Duncan U. Fletcher of the Senate
Banking and Currency Committee
said that reduction would cost the
Treasury approximately S25,00O,000
year.
These three votes account for SCI, :
100000 of newly authorized expen-
ditures which the House has or may
approve. A jump of S400.000,000 a
year more in Federal expense is
forecast on the basis of statements
Of congressional leaders that the
Administration is being driven to
compromise on the veterans bonus
issue.
Some Senators are alarmed by the
spending trend. Senator William H.
King Cd. Utah) recently told the
Senate: L realize that appeals for
reductions ia appropriations by the
present Congress will be in vain"

features and finished goods, reg
During the first eight months of
this period, Mr. Hayes said, the rise
was especially pronounced, the in
dex advancing approximately 20 per
cent, or two-thirdS of the gain for
the entire period.
Prices of farm products rose
more sharply than did the prices of
other products" it is pointed out,
the increase amounting to rs per
cent. The prices of foods rose 40
per cent during the period under
review and the prices of commod-
tiles other than farm products and
foods 20 per cent.
Metals, Chemicals Gain
1.-THE prices of metals and metal
products and of chemicals and
drugs, two of the three groups that
showed the least decline, rose about
10 per cent. The three economic
classes, raw materials, Semi-manu-
istered price gains of approximately
so per cent, Is per cent and 20 per
cent, respectively, during these %
months.
"An interesting situation is OBJ
served if the recovery in prices is
measured in terms of the percent
age of the decline that had been
regained by December, 1881. Com
modities, other than farm products
and foods, and the two groups, farm
products and textile products, had
recovered approximately so per cent
of their price declines by that
month.
This was also true of the two
classes, raw materials and finished
products. Building materials and
the fuel and lighting group were at
the bottom of the list in this CLASH
fcation, having recovered only about
40 per cent of their decline and
chemicals and drug prices were at
the top of the list, having recov-
cred 70 per cent of the decline
which they experienced from 1929
to the depression low.
Divergence Shown
1.-THE price movement in the three
classes, raw materials, Semi-manu-
facturers, and finished goods, during
the recovery period shows an inter-
esting divergence as respects semi
manufactures. This percentage in
creaseS of raw material and semi
manufactures were practically iden-
tical from the February 1888 low to
September, 1888.
"Sinc then the prices of semi
manufactures have declined almost
continuously while the other two
series in this classification have adj
vanced The 1884 rise in prices of
raw materials is largely attributable
to the increase in the price of farm
products.
I'm analyzing the factors that
contributed to the price rise from
February 1888 through December
1884 attention should be called to
the two periods, March to October,
months. During the earlier of these
two periods, the price advance was
not limited to any of the groups, but
during the later period combined
index for commodities of other
than farm products and foods re-
manned practically unchanged"

Our National Youth Administration is concerned with the problem of our lost generation those young people who are equipped to step into useful positions but are denied the opportunity
 Deploring the stagnation. in Alas ka, of the rugged individualism which in his youth had endeared the coun- try to him, Beach quotes Gov Troy as laying the blame on the difficulty of raising money for large-scale un- dertakings,'' which difficulty, ne quotes the Governor as saying, tex plains why the race of prospectors we used to know has become extinct and why so fewanew discoveries are being reported
 The Beach plan, which is present. ed to the states for tine first time in this article, has already found an appreciative ear in Alaska, where mining men of various interior cities have offered their services and re- concentrations in bringing it before the legislature.

 ARTICLE SETS
 MINING PLANS
Development of Territorial Interests by Recon
 naisance Cited

Rex Beach, noted novelist of Alas ka, who revisited the Territory last summer after a 25-year absence, am plifies, in the January issue of Cos mopolitan Magazine, the plan for development of the Territorial min ing industry which was first outlined by him in an exclusive article to The Daily Alaska Empire, August 3l, 1935.
 Under the title Aerial Reconnais- sance in Alaska" MT. Beach, in his Empire article, proposed to double the population of Alaska and at the same time materially to assist in the development of the vast mineral re- sources of the country, through the importation to Alaska of unemployed American youth for the purpose of prospecting"
 Suggest Combination
 MT Beach suggested a combina- ton of the forthcoming Alaskan Air Base and the National Youth Administration movement in two- birds-with- stone attempt to SUD- ply both subsistence for the lost generation and a speedy development of Alaska mineral deposits"
 Without deviation from the basic principles of this plan, which was the outcome of his August trip to the Interior, MT. Beach, in the Cos mopolitan article entitled sThe Place Is Alaska: The Business Is Gold Mining presents a clear and logi- cal explanation of how practically it can be accomplished.
 View of Juneau
 Illustrating his article with large photograph of the Alaska Juneau mill and large expanse of Juneau waterfront, and quoting Gov. John w. Troy for authoritative backing, Beach gives persuasive picture of what Canada has done for mining by way of aerial reconnaissance, and outlines a similar plan for Alaska.
 The proposed army and navy air forces to be stationed in Alaska he says. could lend portion of their time to a vital enterprise without its seriously interfering with their own work. And that enterprise is vital to Alaska and to the nation, fer it would create rhore jobs for the un- employed and it would add to our gold reserves"
