examination which he conducted
here yesterday afternoon. OF the
1our clerks examined two scored
a grade o. 100 percent with the
other two coming between 80 and
100. 1t is doubtful. it is said, if
any other examinations in the

WHY NOT THE INTERNATIONAL
 HIGHWAY?

Over at Edmonton, Alberta, they getting keyed up about the reported prospect of a highway from Edmonton through Alaska to Siberia the con- nection the Boring Sea to be made via tun- nel The announcement comes from w. A. Fallow, Alberta minister of public works. who reports that financial interests from New York and Los Angeles have advised him they prepared to spend $500- ooGOo0 on such project which would connect the Northwest Territories Yukon Alaska and finally Siberia.
 Mir Faow is quoted as saying: T am satisfied they in earnest and that the highway will even- tually come There are many obstacles to be over come and the scheme is still in the formuative stage He points out that the vast mineral and oil wealth of the north among the inducements that make the scheme attractive
 It sounds like considerable of idea, and, in view e the progress made in construction in these modern days it is not at all impossible But would like to offer suggestion
 If there really individuals in New York and Los Angeles, anywhere else for that matter, who have $50O0O0000 for highway construction how about the International Highway, which already has approval of two governments but no funds?
 There is road which would accomplish the very thing the Edmonton people apparently want. It is coming from the States to Alaska, through the min orally rich country of British Columbia. All Alberta and the other provinces of Canada have to do is hook on anywhere they desire. From Fairbanks it can be carried across Alaska and under the Boring Sea via tunnel to Siberia if that's what the promoters want.
 All the preliminary work has been done on the International Highway. That is, the route is laid out and both government and Canada are favorable to the plan. The only thing holding up is adequate financing, such, we might suggest, as s5ooOoO,Ooo from the pockets of New York and Los Lo1lo t1a hic country and Alaska a real service he should direct those promoters to the International Highway and hold himself few million in for a direct hookup route with Edmonton.

Federal Or State Relief?
Cincinnati Enquirerl


 Just now there is great deal of criticism of re- S1 100000 for Federal relief operations the coming fiscal year Much of the discussion both sides is highly partisan. Republican proposals and those of conservative lobbying groups center about two main objectiVes-to abandon work relief for the dole and to deeentraze all relief by turning it back to the states.
 It is difficult to make a for either of these proposals their merits So long the country can stand the cost work relief is far better than dole It is the American way to deal with unemployment. Those who lack jobs much more interested in get ting work than in drawing pttance in their idle So far the budget support it the work relief program should be continued But rather than risk serious fiscal collapse the esscosty dole sys- tenn should be adopted of course
 With respect to the other criticism that of unduly centralized relief expenditure sober second thought should convince the citizen who is not bound to purely partisan ideas that state administration of relief would not be an improvement On the whole, with all it's glaring faults the administration of relief by the Federal government has been better than it would have been if left to the mercies state admin istratve machines.
 One has only to consider the alternative for Ohio to recognize that state conduct of relief would satisfactory This is the more true since the states evidently cannot raise the money needed It is idle the funds and then exercise control over its ex- penditpre That would invite the sort of abuses for it would encourage irresponsible administration

WARN JOB HUNTERS COMING NORTH

M. J. Walsh of Nome here to attend the annual meeting of the Territorial Board of Education, told the Chamber of Commerce yesterday that mining operations expanding up in the Second Division But in doing he stressed again the fact that there are plenty of in Nome and in that district to do all the work this and advised against work men spending their money in going to Nome in search for work.
 The point that MT. Walsh makes holds for all Alaska and cannot be emphasized too many times. There are sufficient Alaska workmen to do all the Alaska labor during this In fact, there are than enough. Those writing to friends and relatives Outside would be doing the Territory real service by stressing that fact They would be pro- tecting the interests of those already Alaska and

guarding against hardship and heart-break for the unfortunate persons who might come north without resources looking for employment and chances are, not finding it.
 Yesterday relief work ended throughout the Ter ritory Here in Juneau some $50 men are effected in Ketchkan about ITS and other places in comparison, These going out now looking for work in private industry to provide for themselves and their families. When they have difficulty in getting en- poyment how much difficult it would be with influx of job hunters from the States
 Just MT. Walsh advises from Nome all of us should advise those on the Outside against coming north unless they have sufficient money to carry them at least year, including return passage if they do not get located.

It's secrets were carefully guarded. One

supposedly trusted man sent up with
this marvel of an airplane. He took to
the air and Immediately set out at full
speed for parts unknown. From that

ship have apparently disappeared from
the face of the earth. 1t is said the
plane was last seen over the Oregon

high rate of speed. Of course no one
knows the answer to this conundrum
but it is strongly suspected that it Is
another case of an American selling out
his country.

NATURE is THE MOST EFFECTIVE

and socks the agricultural planners an
awful jolt in the eye.
According to news reports that have
filled the press of late, much OF the
Mississippi valley is burning UP this

any crops produced over a great part
OF that rich area This section has long
been known as the bread basket OF the
nation. Today it is being burned uE
under the pitiless heat of the sun anc
with no rain to lessen the damage. Al
the result, there will undoubtedly be {
great shortage in many of the staple
agricultural food crops. Wheat has al

that corn, oats, potatoes and other crop,

SHOULD PATRIOTISM BE TAUGHT?

A Benedict Arnold has again been
caught and once more America learns
of the betrayal Of his country by an
American.
This time it is Harry Thomas 1homp-
son who has sold his country tor the
paltry pef of money. Caught in the
despicable business, Thompson is
sentenced to IS years in federal
prison. Had he committed his crime
during war time, he would have faced
a firing squad.
Thompson was former yeoman II
the American navy and sold secret in
formation to an officer in the japanese
navy. He went aboard various bat
tleships, purloined documents aboare
the ships and sold them to the JAP
anese.
It is a strange condition Of affair:
when one can walk aboard a battle
ship and with apparent ease lay M.
hands on documents containing secre
information, carry the documents ava,
with him and sell the information to ;
foreign nation 1t would appear tina
there is altogether too much careless.
