Steamer Reached Second Time at Mexican Point
 When She Starts Sinkinq

N1
 Steamer North Sea, flag ship and palatial liner of the N or h and Transportation Company, Alaska bound from Seattle with 40 passengers aboard, went aground early this morning at Point Marsh, near the entrance of Dixon Entrance. She was reflOated several hours later, then be- gan leaking and as a matter of precautiOn, passe ngers were sent off in lifebOats and the ship was beached behind Mexican Point.
 According to radio advices received by The Empire early this afternoon, the passen- gers are in no danger but awaiting for the next move.
 The steamer Victoria is northbound and is expected to arrive at the scene any hour and presumably passengers will be transferred to her and taken to Ketchikan until dis position is made regarding the North Sea. Report re- ceived at the Customs office here said she would be re- turned to Seattle for repair.
 The Coast Guard Cutter Alert is now at the scene.
 First Information
 The first information re- garding the grounding of the North Sea was picked up this morning in radio calls for aid, then followed by Associ- ated Press dispatches to The Empire.
 The first dispatch, from Seattle, said the North Sea was aground with 40 pas sengers aboard, at Point Marsh near Dixon Entrance, and was refloated, according to a radio from Capt. A. w. Nickerson at 6:27 a. m.
 Assistant Manager w. J. Manahan, of the Northland Transportation Company, at Seattle, said that the North Sea, after refloating, was proceeding slowly to Ketchi- kan.
 The, cutter Alert, which had put out from Ketchikan, was expected to reach the North Sea very soon.
 A radio from the North Sea said that shortly after being refloated, it was dis covered the vessel was leak ing somewhat, but not badly.
 A dispatch from San Fran cisco said the first distress calls were received there at 5:15 o'clock and one radio said the passengers and crew were ready to abandon the ship but Manahan, in Seattle, said he did not know of such a move.

DEPRESSION IS OVER"

The trouble with such an attitude is that, MT. Roosevelt pointed out some weeks ago in his Baltimore speech, something already has turn ed up without even pointing the way to salvation.
 Industrial activity has made long strides toward recovery. Some thoughtful economists are saying that so far as general indices are concerned, the depression is over. Yet the unemployment figures re- main almost stationary. The facts have disproved one of the univer- sal theories of these depression years-that if production could be restored to normal, the unemploy- Iment problem would evaporate.
 It is not this serious situation, however, or the remedy of it, that Congress is debating It is consid- |ering only what must be done at the moment to keep people from starving-a pressing matter, it i5 true, but hardly comparable to the question of what should be done to keep starvation from becoming chronic.
 Neither party has produced more than sporadic suggestions about the future. Instead both sides talk of the past administration of re- lief, of the best methods of Spend- ing what is to be spent during the next few months, of many things which can have little or no bearing on permanent policy.
