Native Boys Sent To Idaho School
 Show Interest

The United States Marshal's Office at Nome, received on the last mail a letter from the direc- tor of the Idaho Industrial school at St. Anthony's Idaho, stating that two Nome native boys. Johnny and Morris Thomas, are getting along splendidly, and showing commendable interest in the schools system of indus trial training, particularly gar dening.
 These boys were committed to the Idaho corrective->institution year ago for minor law infring- ments, being sent to the States for the reason that as vet the Territory of Alaska has made no provision for correctional school to care for our delinouent children.

MORE ABOUT PRICES

In contrast to the major portion of our large lecturers, the steel industry has raised it's prices to barely absorb actual increased costs thereby showing good judgment and setting excellent example to the balance of our industrial empire.
 In recent statement issued by the Steel Institute they mention that copper, manganese, alloy materials and all chemicals have risen sharply in price. Shipping companies that control ore movements via the Great Lakes have announced increase of IA per cent in freight rates.
 Fearful that excessive price raises would curtail consumption the steel industry has set prices that repre- sent smaller profit per than they have been aver aging during the first quarter of the present year This well taken stand of the steel trust reflects the crux of the whole problem
 It is an axiom of logic that an argument based on false premise invariably leads to false conclusion. There are two faacious basic trends that tend fuse most of us the pricewage question: One is the average workers honest conviction that higher wages necessarily raises his financial level He invariably finds in the present picture that the ncreas- ed cost of living soon overtakes and passes his in- crease in wages. In many instances he finds himself worse off.
 The other common fallacy indulged in by so many o our people, including certain schools of economists is the firm conviction that higher wages for industrial workers necessarily make for what we term prosperity This is not always so, will it become fixed certainty under our present economic structure The era of 1e26-29 of painful memory plainly demonstrates this fact.

nese work 1t up to the desired content
and find it good. In some uses it is
said to be better than ore of higher
grade. Here is Japan's chromite
supply, 100000 tons and more.
Rearmament demands have shot
copper up in the United States from
9 cents pound to Is cents; Japan is
buying Philippine copper ore, probably
at less even than 9 cents a pound,
and she will do the smelling and re-
flning herself. Except for the very
highest grades of Philippine copper
ores, Japan is the sole market for
them. Japanese are running all over
the Philippines for copper; they are
getting it, too, and financing projects
to produce more. But it costs them
only a fraction of the market price
It's that short haul, 1900 miles against
$4,000 plus canal tolls either at Suez
or Panama.
Thus the Philippines help round
out Japan's empire; since they are
producing industrial metals with jap
anese buyers in view, Japan will never

finding itself with new air feet which
it could not use properly.
The average citizen gets his idea OF
the fighting power of aircraft from
the film factories. On the films he
sees a pilot aiming his whole machine
at the target as he operates a brace
of fixed, synchroniZed machine guns
firing through the propeller, or a
gunner in bomber swinging a single
machine gun about on swivel as he
shoots it at an attacking airplane.
But with speeds running as high as
they do now, and rising every year,
these operations are not merely obso-
lete-they are physically impossible.
Men cannot get on the target when
moving at present-day speeds and
being flung about by high-speed
tactical maneuvers. They cannot hold
a gun steady. They break arms, legs,
shoulders. Besides, modern aircraft
are so constructed that they cannot
be destroyed by spray of machine
gun bullets as were the machines Of
the Great War.
European war staffs saw, before the
British did, that the evolution of the
war planes and its power plant had run
ahead of its weaponing. They started
to devise new weapons and mountings
for fighting destroyer craft and de-
Tending long-range bombers. Long

the famous Calvo and Drago doctrines.
The World War interrupted the Sc
ries of Pan-American conferences and
it was not until 1923 that the next
took place at Santiago. But, in the
meantime. many Of the Latin Amer
ican republics and the United States
had concluded bilateral treaties Of
arbitration, and thus the Santiago
conference. in a special resolution, ac-
knowledged the progress which the
principle had made in recent years and
recommended the study Of the subject
to a technical congress of jurists at
Rio de Janeiro.
The Havana conference in 1928 dis
cussed the report Of the Rio de Janeiro
jurists and passed unanimously q res

policy several months before the sign
ing of the Kellogg BRAND pact, the
American republics pronounced them
selves for obligatory mediation and
arbitration and agreed to meet again.
in a special conference. within one
year to give conventional form to this
principle, with the minimum excep-
tions"
Such conference was held In
Washington in December. 1928. and
its fruits were an inter-American con-
vention on conciliation and general
inter-American treaty Of arbitration.
Although in the latter reservations as
to questions of domestic Jurisdiction,
disputes affecting constitutional pro-
visions, conflicts antedating the sigma
ture of the treaty and matters con-
trolled by international agreements
then in force were inserted by some
of the parties, a protocol Of progress
sive arbitration" was concluded at the
same time, by means Of which such
parties could withdraw at any time
their reservations by an appropriate
instrument. This flexible provision
rendered it possible to broaden the
scope of obligatory mediation and arbi-
tration without the need Of new
treaty.
AS the experience of these successive
steps and, of the numerous bilateral
arbitration pacts between American
countries shows, the remaining prob
lem is to eliminate, as soon and as
completely as possible, these minimum
exceptions and reservations.
The ultimate goal should be the
unqualified adoption Of obligatory
mediation and arbitration, and the
general acceptance of the proposition
that independence and national honor
are not impaired by submitting quar-
rels between nations to more civilized
methods of settlement than that of the
sword.

made the largest contributions-in the

Altmeyer also justifies the reserve
plan on the theory that the changes
to be considered at the forthcoming
conference constitute "unmet needs
of the social security program that will
require adequate coverage.
Likely Liberalixing Proposals.
One of the suggested hberalizing
features that likely will come in for
broad discussion will be to increase
benefits in the early years. The scale
Of monthly payments under the plan
runs from $40 to $85, but the top fig-
ure will be available only to the few
individuals who will have earned an
average OF $3.50 month over period
Of employment of at least 43 years
from January /, last. This not only
takes the maximum entirely out Of
the calculations of most of the 34,000,-
600 wage-earners already covered by
the plan, but automatically freezes"
the older workers in the lower pension
brackets. This Is fundamental
point Of difference between the
American and British systems, the lat
ter providing the same payments to
those retiring Immediately after the
passage of the law, as those going out
of the ranks of the employed in the
years to come and looms Importantly
as a talking point of the advocates of
change.
From the side Of the employers may
be expected to come a recommended
Jion that the taxing plan for the un-
employment compensation feature of
the act be changed. The unemploy-
ment compensation payments, which
hitherto have been confined to the
State Of Wisconsin, will become pay
able in 20 States and the District of
Columbia, on January /, next, and in
seven other States in the course OF
1888. With few exceptions, the tax,
which started at l per cent for 1886,
reaches maximum of 3 per cent in
1888, and remains at that figure
comes entirely from employers and is
based on their entire pay roll. The
Chamber Of Commerce, as the mouth
piece OF business generally, also wants
this tax assessed on but the first
$4,000 of an individual salary, as is
that for the old-age benefits, arguing
that at present, it extends beyond the
compensation of those classes of en-
ployes who by reason of the scale of
wages presumably would be in need
of assistance in event of intermittent
employment.
The public assistance features of
the act probably will figure least i'm
portantly in the deliberations of the
Advisory Council, although there may
be some sentiment for larger Federal
contributions in this program, which
covers the ever-growing army of in
digent aged, dependent children and
blind.
In the meantime, speculation has
arisen as to the reception any recon-
mendations on which the council may
be able to agree will receive in the
House Ways and Means Committee,
where enabling legislation would have
to originate. The House group pre-
sumably was not consulted in the
creation of the councils and as a re-
suit, it has been understood I'LL
! feeling had been stirred.
