FEDERAL DIRECT RELIEF OUT.

Direct relief is out far as the Federal Govern ment is concerned. By official action Saturday. the Relief Administrator brought to an end what has come to be known as the dole and around which has been built many allegations that the system was being abused Anyone who will take the time to read the report of Harry L. Hopkins, Relief Administrator, in the current issue of Golfers will that the accusations of abuse grossly inaccurate. MT. Hopkins points out that of some three million cases handled actual evidence of graft misuse of funds centered around less than which reveals that most of the publiczed charges are wholly unfounded.
 However the point at issue now is the program to be followed in the future. The Federal Government announces that it will confne it's activity solely to works projects and that it will be up to the various States to give any direct relief dole that is given or take care of their unempoyables as they see fit In other words the Government is moving ahead with the Works Progress Administration which provides jobs through public works but gives direct relief The Federal authorities feel that the emer- gency on which was expended three billion dol lars since 1883 is over and the various States and local will be able to handle the situation from
 It will be interesting to what some of the States who been crying the loudest against the Federal way of handling relief do about it. but it is
 healthy indication It is the turning point in defin- ite recovery The big majority of those who were thrown of work by the depression back at jobs either in private industry on public works under supervision of the Government. The group of jobess and unemployables which were with us even in boom times to the extent of couple of million prob lens the respective States and local governments The crisis has been met by the Roosevelt Adminstra- tion and the patient is well the road to recovery

AERIAL DEVELOPMENT OUTLOOK
 HOPEFUL.

There is reason to believe that Alaska is on the threshold of great aerial development. The request for air mail contracts is being given further weight by the action of Pacific Coast cities and is antic pated that by the time another summer season rolls around the Post Office Department will have funds made available for establishing such mail service in the Territory. Not only will this provide much needed service to Aaskans but it would be the means by which the Pacific Alaska Arways would be enabled to carry in the North the main routes the year around instead of dscontinung was the case this winter
 Then, the air field development program for the Territory is before the proper authorities in Washington and is expected to get favorable action Survey was made this summer for the actual needs by competent and that data is now in the hands of those authorities With public works projects being pushed throughout the country the result of direct relief activities being discontinued by the Govern ment, it is not unreasonable to suppose that works program might be worked out for the North, centered around the proposed air field development program

Climbing the Sky.
Cincinnati Enquirer9

The exploration of the stratosphere is at once practical undertaking of frst-rate scientific value and heroic enterprise calculated to stir the hearts of men everywhere To climb many miles into the heavens is job that calls for the highest qualltles of human courage and when it has been done It IS not like so many exploits, demonstration of cour- age but an addition to mans understanding of the universe
 The ascent of Captain Albert w. Stevens and Captain Orval A. Anderson sets new world record, even surpassing the brilliant and tragic flight of ISoviet balloon in 1884 In temperature more than 75 degrees below zero, more than A miles above the earth the daring explorers of the air have seen this old world almost as it appears to creatures not of earth
 If their bird's-eye view of our planet gives them fresh impression of the cosmos, however the real value of their flight lies in their observations Of the air about them. We reconstruct an impression of the earth from afar by what we know of 1t, living on its surface. But we cannot know so much about the upper atmosphere, for the dense air near earth is curtain which defies every scientific instrument in greater or less degree
 For the proof of their endurance and courage, and for the utility of their discoveries may well honor two brave and skillful men of the American army

Scott himself one of the best Only Dieu- dome Coste holds more records From 1927 on, in which year he made the fastest time around his native Australia Kingsford Smiths performances have aroused the admiration of armen as well as of the world Probably his greatest feat was real circum navigation of the gobereal in the sense that he was the first and only man who ever started from base and returned to it after having described great circle Incidentally his utilization of radio on that occasion was in itself piece of pioneering that has borne fruit. His crossing of the Tasman Sea from Australia to New Zealand his leaps from England to Australia his flight across the Atlantic his double transnavgation of the Pacific Ocean were more than exhibitions of hardihood No doubt his primary pur- pose was the breaking of records Yet it was no acc- dent that his course usually lay some lonely sea- some uninhabited waste never before viewed from the air.
 Out of this record breaking has come practical transpacifc navigation between the United States and China by way of Manila and a closer tying of the young Occident to the old Orient England ln par ticular has reason to thank him. for he has been powerful factor in demonstrating how the scattered members of it's Empire may be knit together Before the aerial trail blazers came among whom he stooo out as man of exceptional daring, skill and dash, we thought space in terms of distance rather than of time No longer is the earths circumference matter of 24000 miles We talk of days travel by air Indeed the whole globe seems to have shrunk to a body of less than planetary size We need such performances as Kingsford- Smiths not only to ad- vance the technique of transportation but to enlarge our conception of social destiny. man who thinks nothing of skimmng through the air for a distance of 5000 miles between sunrise and sunset sets us dreaming of Wellsian future when the whole atmosphere becomes a playground and barriers to the free intercourse of nations seems ridiculous

Calling Elm Names.
(New York World -Telegram9

A Palm Beach editor, retaliating against Northern newspapers for referring to recent tropical blows as Florida hurricanes headlined recent paper with: Yankee Storm Heads Southwark
 We've been wondering what steps to take against hurricanes earthquakes and the like and had about concluded to let them have their way. The Florida editors idea of calling them names is constructive It may seem bit futile to shake our fists, like old King Lear, and rail at the unkndly elements But it relieves the pent-up emotions almost as e- fectively as cussing the Government.
 Or we might turn our rage and resentment into even more useful channels and set them to work curing some man-made calamities such as wars, de- pressions, sums and poverty.

 Edward Krause, thought to be the slayer of William Christie, Capt. J. o. Plunkett, Ole Moe, and Japan ese watchman at Wrangell Narrows cannery, will reach Juneau tomorrow on the Humboldt from Seattle, from which city he was extradited on a charge of murdering Christie
 The launch Murellet returned from a ten-day search for a trace of Plunkett or his boat, the Lue. Arthur Nordley and Lyle Davis said that they found no trace of her, although traders remembered her having vis- tied Hobart Bay within the past month.
 Police contend the Lue will be found not far from Petersburg. They base this contention on the fact that Krause arrived in Petersburg in the skiff belonginf to the Lue.
 Meanwhile, Brick Carlson, Mana ger of the Northern Hotel in Ketchi- kan. who talked with Krause during the time he masqueraded in that city as Ole Moe, was refused the $500 reward and received a-sharp repri- mand from United States Marshal Harry A. Bishop for failing to report his information sooner than he did.
 In all probability, Detectives Ben Cornielson and Ralph Jones of Se- attle, will be given the reward, it was said, on information first published in The Empire.

England's Balance of Trade.
(New York Times.)

Publishing last week it's yearly estimate on Great Britans foreign trade during the preceding twelve mcnth the British Board of Trade computed for
 1894 deficit all accounts of fl0000o0. The visible debts" meaning the excess of merchandise and silver imports exports were almost oal- anced by the estimated invisible credits s'-meaning
 income from short loans and investments abroad plus revenue from abroad earned by British ship
 ping and other services The small excess for lass year. in payments to England made by foreigners is from viewpoint reassuring. The net debit balance of 100000 contrasts with a deficit of
 f51 o0c 900 in 1882 and f104OOoOoO in 1881 In those two years the invisible credits were greatly 1e-
 duced by the depression of international trade; but the main cause forS the huge debit balance" was
 that all but unprecedentedly great excess of Eng lands merchandise imports over exports As lately
 las 1923 this excess ncludng silver was s170o00O0o lIn 1881 it f408 100000.
 During four years after the war, debts and credits were so adjusted as to leave in Great Britans favor yearly credit balance, on account lof foreign payments, running from f153000,0O0 to Lf25200o 0oo-which meant rapidly accommodating cap- Iital. Even in the period 1927-29, receipts from Shipping services and from foreign investments were so great far to overtop the mounting balance ot payments merchandise account After 1929, the balance speedily swung the other way. The large reduction after 1882, in the debit balance incurred during the two preceding years chiefly attribut- able to the periods much smaller excess of mer-
 
 further noteworthy fact in the comparisons ot 1884 with recently preceding years has been the substantial rise in Englands income from overseas investments. The estimated f15000000 increase last year 1883 is ,ascribed by the Board of Trade Ito partial resumption of interest payments ir numerous foreign countries. This a plain enough incident of financial recovery; it more thar offset the Board quietly remarks, 'the decline 1 sterling income from dollar bonds" It is still in- lstructive to compare with our own yearly showing the current figures of Engands receipts from these and other invisible credits" 4cf
 British income from foreign investments during
 1884; plus revenue from short loans, is figured al f215 000000 Taking the present value of the pouno sterling in dollars, this works out $1 047 100000 Oul own Commerce Department has not yet pubishec it's estimates for the 1884 American trade balance
 but 1883 the item receipts from foreign interest dividends and commissions was only 389,000,009 Net shipping revenue" in the British Board o Trades return for 1884 f70000000; equivalent to S3400O0Oo0. Our receipts in 1853 fror foreign payment for freight and shipping services were $49OOoOo0, against which paid $65 900 00t

Federal Financing at Low Rates.
(Kansas City star0

The ability of the Federal treasury to borrow hundreds of millions of dollars at diminishing rates of interest, despite the ever-growing public debt and the increasing deficit in Government revenues, is an outstanding financial paradox.
 The most recent financing is illustration. The treasury offers issue of 20 to 25-year bonds bearing 27s per cent interest exchange for 1850 milqn dollars of Liberty A per cent bonds called for redemption April 15; and there is such demand for the new issue that it is immediately quoted at premium At the same time the treasury offers an issue of 5year 15s Der cent notes in exchange for 528 million dollars of maturing 2la per cent notej without any doubts as to the success of the tran- sacton.
 These low interest Government obligations find ready market in the face of the fact that there an impressive effort in Congress and out to effect another reduction in the gold content of the dollar the deliberate purpose Of depreciating the value of all securities with fixed interest payments
 The reason for this situation is that practically no new corporation securities available to absorb the growing savings available for investment.
 The banks hold about billion dollars of treas ury obligations which the Government Is paying interest at the rate of small fraction of l per lcent per annum. In addition, the banks are car Irving upward of billions of Government obiga- tions of various maturities, and bearing mostly 3 to per cent per annum because they cannot find desirable borrowers for their surplus funds. Evidently it is an opportune time for the Gov Iernment to extend the process of refundng it's and AZ per cent bonds, at lower rate, to save interest There are still outstanding about bil- lions of these bonds of original issues totaling about 10 billion dollars. Under existing conditions there is no reason for the Government to pay more than per cent and there is possibility that the entire public debt may be financed ultimately on la per cent basis.

BENEFITS OVERSHADE DEPARTMENTS

An Alaska exfibit at the San Diego fair thls summer is now a certainty with the Territory ready to expend s3,0oo appropriated by the recent ernment may cooperate in making the display something worthy of its northern treasure house. fair fund of $350,0G0 has been set aside for a Government building at the exposition and Gov ernor Troy is hopeful of winning the support of Secretary Ickes to take cognzance of Alaska in the construction. The Legislature memoriazed for a separate building but if portion of the Government it will go great way toward giving Alaska adequate representation
 There those who feel Alaska display at the San Diego exposition will have tendency to flood the Territory with job hunters who may be- a burden public funds and perhaps there is a degree of truth in the contention that some undesirables may be attracted this way. However, it can not be overlooked that the right kind of a display in San Diego just well interest the kind of people Alaska wants and do great deal toward bringing capital and solid citizens to the country.
 Governor Troy already has set the wheels in motion by naming A. F. Raynor to take charge Of preliminary work of arranging exhibits and it is understood several prospective displays of merit have been promised With the cooperation of the Fed eral Government the housing problem much hoped the officials in Washington will see their way clear to lend the necessary cooperation to make it truly representative of the great Northlano

RIGHT STILL PREVAILS.

Cloaked with the proper authority the Treasury Department is starting out to do just what the people of this country have been praying for during the last decade-clean up crime. Without cheers glamor the Federal agents striking with accuracy and efficiency throughout the nation at the dope peddler liquor law evader counterfeiter and others of like ilk.
 Crime, usually aided and abetted by local politics, has the past few years risen to such heights that it threatened to throttle the nation and send civil zation itself skidding down the chute to oblivion. It was pretty generally admitted in some of the larger cities that 1t entirely out of hand and dominated the local law enforcement agencies. Po- lice morale in places had fallen to such sor- rowful levels that officers said there wasn't much they could do about it. Their hands tied by petty politics.
 The manner in which the Federal Government is moving in the job demonstrates clearly there was wanton lack of local law enforcement for tho agencies had been clothed for years with the powers which have been given the Treasury Department It is compliment to of olI- communities that they unable to clean up thei4 own conditions but it is occasion for real thanki giving that a nation moral stamina is stil not sulled and that aroused to action yet move along the right road Moral lethargy which means decay has not yet set in and continuing the present course it will not
