AAA FURL0UGH
RESEMBLING
DENIED

Officials Of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration today
secuted a rumor that the 30-day
furloughs to be handed approx
mately 1000 employees tomorrow
are to be totally rescinded.
Reports that furloughs were be-
ing nullified on a wholesale basis
by telephone were denied en-
phatically by an assistant to Ad-
ministrator Chester A. Davis.
It was explained that the rumor
arose from the fact that approx
mately rs furloughS have been
rescinded among typists and ste
nographers for the month OF
February. This action, it was said,
became necessary because the
AAA staff has been severely de-
pleted" by numerous designations
since the Supreme Court decision
booming the agency.
The recalled furloughs were dis
tributed for the most part in the
cotton tax surplus exemption pool,
the remainder among various typ
ing sections stationed in the Old
Post Office Building on Pennsy!-
vania Avenue.
More than 900 AAA workers to-
morrow will be on furlough for 80
days, though many will receive
pay for unexpended annual leave.
Should Congress provide for a
continuance of farm relief work
through passage of a substitute
bill before the end Of February,
most Of the workers on furlough
will be recalled, it was repeated to-
day. Lacking legislation, addi-
tional 30-day furloughs will be
given.

TRADE IN WEST
BEST SINCE 81

November business activity in
the Far West as reflected by the
Bank of Americas Index reached
the highest level since July, 1881.
The preliminary index for No
vember stood at 78, a gain of 5.4
points, or IA per cent, over the
level in November a year ago and
an increase of 1877 points, or 27.2
per cent, over November, 1884.
The banks current Business Re
view, published monthly, also con-
tainS an analysis of population es-
Inmates by the United States Bu-
reau of the Census revealing a
net gain of ,778, or nearly 5
per cent, in the population of the
II Far Western States over the
1880 census. Eight of the IL
Western States show larger pop
ulation in 1886 compared with
their population six years ago.
These were: California, Wash
ington, oregon, Idaho, Colorado,
Nevada, Utah and Wyoming.
The review also reveals that al
important Far Western indices for
November showed a substantial
increase over the corresponding
month of 1885. These indiceS and
their gains over November of last
year are: Bank debts, IL per
cent; building and construction
72.1 per cent; carloadings, 8 per

AIR BASES IN THE OFFING

Congressman Harlan, here yesterday, denied he had the plans for a naval air base in Alaska and a gigantic colonization program for the Territory with which he credited in Seattle. But it's all right. Associated Press news dispatches confirm the fact than an air base is in the ofng, long anticipated and the Army already has plans underway for es- tablishing one probably in the Fairbanks
 It is gratifying but not startling to Alaskans that air base is forthcoming. The plan has been on the fire for months just the naval base proposal is getting the consideration of the Navy Department at this time Defense of the Pacific from Alaska is an admitted fact by all our military experts. High Naval officials have openly stated it advisable and now the Army reveals its program is actually under way
 For Alaska it means another step in her advance ment and closer link with the States. Army and Navy air bases in the north will tend to breed air service between the States and the Territory. Sup plies will be necessary in large quantities and Alaska will share in producing those supplies It is illogical to suppose that air bases will be tucked away the outposts of Alaska with their only source of supplies in the States in the event of The base of sup plies naturally will be where it will be available in the face of any eventuality. It is fairly to mean further colonization with the aim of enlargng local production.
 It cannot be overlooked that an undeveloped oil supply is under lease to the Navy in the Col vile river country south of Point Barrow With pro duce from Alaska farms to feed the men and oil from Alaska oil fields to feed the motors the strength of Army and Navy air bases in the Territory can be easily visioned

be worked It is compliment to the church in America that man of the cloth should be one to promote such faacous doctrine among those who perhaps have not had the same opportunity for learning as the strong -lunged Detroit clergyman
 MT. Lemke Father Coughlns proxy, proposes to wiz the farmers by cancelling their debs-at the cost of insurance policy holders the country over He would deliver the vote of urban discontent, by con- demning the high prices of the farmers products. By stealing from everybody to pay many this party would restore American well-being. It is a sorry spectacle this captazng of prejudice at the expense of gullible men and whose disillusionment leads them to follow the banners of economic and social error
 The effect of the Coughlin-Lemke party in the Presidential campaign is uncertain. Doubtless, it will draw votes from both major parties; taking from the Republicans in the agrarian states and from the Democrats in the cities. But that is only secondary The actual unfortunate role of the Union Party will be draw from the ranks of American voters those who are most easily deceived, to build up in their minds hopes that cannot be fulfilled and to drop them, some day, disheartened and discouraged than ever.

THE UNION PARTY

Now that Representative William Lemke of North Dakota has agreed to accept the toga of the Union Party" fostered and nourished by the mpassioned words of Father Coughlin, who apparently has de- serted his religious teachings to become warped the maelstrom of political intrigue it will be interesting to note how many will be deluded by the doctrine of the easy road to ruin.
 The so-caled Union Party is nothing than Father Coughn's National Union for Social Justice with few trimmings And the later noted for it's experimentation of disgruntled and confused of all parties and classes It purported to offer something for nothing and so long the stays in the heav- ems there will always be those who believe that trick
