CONSTRUCTIVE DEVELOPMENT
IN ALASKA

One of the best examples of what can be done
toward development of Alaska and its industries can
be found at the experimental fur farm the Mitkof
Highway nine miles out OF Petersburg.
The last Legislature appropriated $4,000 for set
ting up the experiment station and additional public
works money with the cooperation of various govern
ment agencies has made it possible TO get the fur
farm started Several acres of land has been cleared
by CCC workers and at the present time the head
quarters building is nearing completion, the cold
storage plant is finished large building for pens
is nearly ready occupancy and it is expected that
by the first the year the station will actually be in
operation Dr. J. B Lotus, formerly of Juneau, is in
charge of the station and has outlined constructive
program through which it is hoped assist the fur
farming industry in the Territory.
In order to encourage fur farmers who haven't
been making much of a go of it on isolated islands
the Forest Service has laid out so odd fveacre
tracts along the highway between the station and
Petersburg which will be available for fur farms.
Those who have made study of the fur farming,
and particularly is this true the fox islands, have
discovered that better and healthier animals be
raised in pens than running wild the islands The
islands too many fur farmers have learned to
their sorrow. become disease infested with the
result that after few years their stock down
and their returns become nil
If the experimental farm can. through its studies
and experiments point out the way for farmers tc
raise their fur-bearers successfully in pens, and there
is no to believe that it cannot, big step viii
have been made toward establishing the industry
a sound basis in the north With rare exceptions
it is generally admitted in the industry that islano
farming has rot been successful. Therefore, if de-
velopment can be made on these small tracts near
Petersburg there is reason why it cannot spread
the Territory, and Alaska, of the worlds
great wild fur producers can become also large
farm fur producer.

The Note to Tokyo

New York Tmes)
Our Governments note to Japan reiterates our
traditional position in the Far East That Japan for
all her categorical assurances that the Open Door
would be respected in China has nevertheless perss-
tenty violated American rights and interests is the
keynote of the message The Open Door policy re
ects special privileges in China for any foreign coun-
try or group of countries 1t dates from the time
when China was threatened with partition by foreign
powers Our adherence to it was inspired both by
the desire to preserve the integrity of China as
nation, and by our determination to assert equal
rights with other foreign Powers in its development
Those reasons are less valid today than formerly
The note rehearses the various violations OF the
last few years in Manchuria and in North China
These violations consist of restrictions on the move
ment of goods of other countries than JAPAN regula
tons which forbid the export of goods except at pro-
hibtve rates of exchange: monopoly of trade by
controlled corporations; censorship of and
interference with American mail and kilograms; re-
fusal grounds Of military necessity of transporta-
ton foreign goods and of permission to Americans
to return in the lower Yangtze area, although Jap
anese goods are permitted to move and many Japa
nese merchants and their families have been permitted
to return. The note closes with the insstence that
the japanese Government carry out its previous prom
ises by discontnuing the one hand, all discrim-
nation and preferential operating directly
indirectly against American trade and enterprise,
and the other all interference with American prop
arty and other rights. including restrictions resi-
dence, travel, shipping and trade
The whole statement is moderate and reason
able recital in plain and firm language of our long
established policy and our legitimate commercial aims
in the East Through all is apparent the disparity
between Japanese promise and practice that reflects
the long standing lack of coordination between the
Japanese Foreign Office and army. The army de-
termines japanese foreign policy and the Foreign
Office is left the thankless task of attempting to
Justify it, No foreign Power. of course, recog-
nize the disunty of the Japanese Government; they
can deal only with the Foreign Office of nation,
not with its army If the Foreign Office is unable
to carry out its commitments, the nation must pay
in dsrespect certain skepticism to the worth of
its promises and the eventual possibility of retalatory
measures

Being Received
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM

Q.N.S0. Further evidence OF
the friendlier relations between
the Government and utility in
dustry was furnished in SEC re.
ports today, showing that nearly
all the nations holding com.
panies are complying with the
integration provision Of the Ray
burn Wheeler act.
More than half the utility
holding companies have submitted
consolidation proposals called for
by the death sentence" clause
of the act.
NO RESISTANCE
According to SEC Chairman
William o. Douglas no sign of re-
sistance is evidenced in the major
portion of the utility industry to
the demand for simplification of
their corporate structures.
The death sentence" provision,
which has been characterized as
a health sentence" by President
Roosevelt, calls for integration of
far-flung power empires into close
ly knit units serving a single area.
Earlier this year, Douglas set
December / as the deadline for
submission of integration plans by
the utility systems.
EXTENSIONS PLANNED
Although a considerable number
of organizations will fail to OBJ
serve this time limit, the commits
sion has no intention of taxing
punitive action because most of
these companies expect to submit
consolidation plans before the end
of the year.

For Eneroy and Vitality

The form in which wheat -four
makes its appearance on the table
is of less importance than the fact
that it is and should be an essen
tial item in the family food supply.
That is because it offers a rich
supply of fuel value at little cost.
The different types of -four contain
from 81 to rs per cent carbohy-
drates, from II to IS per cent pro-
tein, and varying amounts of min
eral salts and vitaminS.
1t is necessary to know some
thing of the structure of the wheat
kernel and to understand how the
various f1ours differ, in order to
select the -four best suited for
each purpose. A kernel is made
up of several outer layers of bran;
layer of cells high in phos-
phorus and protein, just inside
the bran; the endosperm, COM
posed of cells in which starch
granules are held together by pro-
teins; and the germ. The starch
cells are so small that one kernel
of wheat may contain as many as
2O,000,000 granules.
