ALASKA NICKEL PROSPECTS

An encouraging note in mineral development Tn Alaska is found in the report that nickel deposits which show promising values are being prospected in the Chichagof and Baranof island groups. In ad- dton to several private individuals who have been prospecting some of the deposits the Nickel Corpora ton of America one of the largest concerns of its kind in the world is making surveys in the region which prompted pr Carl Dreutzer the corporations President to comment that things looked favorable and later to add that If the assays as good as they are supposed to be, it will be big thing for Alaska"
 With the demand for nickel increasing and the price now up to 35 cents pound, the outlook for development in the north is especially bright, pro- viding of course that the assays measure up to what the initial prospects indicate.
 An idea of what nickel production in Alaska might mean can be gleaned from recent article by Robert C. Stanley, President of the International Nickel Company of Canada, in the Engineering and Mining Journal He points out that world con- sumption of nickel in all of it's forms during the first ten months of 1887 attained total of approximately POI 100000 pounds an increase of about "A percent over the corresponding figure for 1936 It compares with 112OO0O0O pounds in the first ten months of 1929
 Factors which contributed to the increase, Mir. Stanley says the better pace of world business, the larger output of products containing nickel as an established component introduction of nickel into new products, and the spread of nickel consumption to new industrial countries.
 Isut perhaps most interesting is the market pos abilities of nickel MT Stanley prepared the follow ing percentages which give general picture of the relative importance of the various forms in which nickel enters world industry:

heading of Americana" AS we
listened to the radio Sunday, a
program in a foreign language
came on the air. It gave in
struction as to how to vote, and
who to vote for. In heavens
name why shuld an American
citizen, able to vote, need any
explanation in any language
other than our own?
We, as citizens, may be able
to laugh tolerantly and say,
"Americana," but such a thing
would never have been tolerated
twenty years ago.
While we are on the subject
there is another thing that
needs saying. There isn't enough
American citizenship taught in
our public schools. Schools
should be the center of such
activities. Too much of what is
taught along this line is mar
row. restricted or centers in
politics. This, it seems to me
also restricts the future of our
sons and daughters American

day, I quote:

Nominated for whatever niche
there is for professional Wor-
riers, is the little group of gov
eminent officials whose job it
is to find office space for Fed
eral departments, agencies,
commissions, boards, commit
tees and divisions.
The worries of the space find
ers we're negligible in days of
old when farmers could plant
what they pleased, when Joe
Doe could sit down and have a
heart to heart talk with his
boss without the latter being
hauled up before a board on
charges of coercion, and when
leaning on a shovel or raking
leaves was a personal exercise
done in ones own yard or gar
den.
But not 50 today, for new
thousands of clerks, Stenogra-
piers, theorists and economists
have come to Washington to
teach new tricks and ways of
doing things by economic plan
ming and regulation. That is
why the space procurement OF
ficials of the Interior Depart
melt are having such a diff
cult time of it and thus qualify
as professional worriers.
An idea OF the size of their
problem right now is found in
these figures:
Although more than 100
BUILDINGS in Washington are
owned and occupied by one gov
eminent agency Or another "a
total of II, 645 .613 square feet OF
floor Space) the space finders
have had to rent 119 buildings,
or 3.25O,OC0 more square feet, to
quarter the planners. And there
is still an acute shortage. The
capital just isn't big enough.
Even the Social Security Board
had to move most of its activi-
ties to Baltimore.
The Wage-Hour Administra-
ton is the latest of the major
problems. The space finders
can't even find a suitable build
ing to rent for the thousands
of employees that will be needed
by this newest agency.
A commission appointed to
help the space finders find
space for other commissions
has reported, incidentally, that
by 1947 an additional 8,8O8, e56
square feet will be needed-if
the expansion of government
activity continues at its present
pace.

EDITORIAL

We in this country live in a
Democracy, and again Tuesday
at the polls we exercised the
right of those who live in a de-
mocratic nation and cast our
ballots for the men we felt were
best qualified for office-or ra-
ther a great many OF US did.
We wonder if most people
realize what a glorious privilege
this is, and how many abuses
it has.
We've thought for a long
time about the qualifications OF
the electors, and somehow we
feel that they aren't stiff
enough.
True, we exclude those in
penal institutions, depriving
them of their right to vote be-
cause they are enemies of So
ciety" but this is practically the
only class in the United States
who cannot cast a ballot if
properly registered. OF course
the electOr must be a natural
born or naturaliZed ciJlZen Of
the country. But somehow We
think that even some OF those
in penal institutions are better
quaIlIled to vote than some OF
the citizens outside.
We feel that the voter should
have a mental age of at least
14-iSn't that the age the mo-
ton pictures consider the aver
age movie goer?-and that he
should most certainly be liter
ate.
We have long been puzzled
about the mechanics of voting
when the voter cannot read and
write. Certainly he is forced to
vote as someone else tells him
to. He can't read the names on
the ballot, and he can't caSJ his
ballot in secret, as every eIectOH
Is supposed to have a right to
do.
What about the man who
spends most of his conscious
moments and some of his I'M
conscious ones in the tavern.
Certainly such a man would
never be allowed to govern us,
and yet he is having a hand in
doing just that if he is properly
registered.
Democracy is essentially self
government, but many vino
have a hand in the decisions
made by the electorate are not
capable of making decisions
that will possibly have far
reaching influence on the lives
OF many other citizens.
The old Romans had a good
idea, though Il was corrupted
after many years of use. To
them it was a high honor and
a distinct privilege to become a
citizen, and it required certain
stringent requirements. We wish
that people in these United
States could take as much pride
in being citizens.
Maybe we're a little teched,
but we think the voters should
know. something about the
functions of Communism and
Fascism as opposed to Democ-
racy: We think they should have
a little accurate information
about the lives of the ordinary
fellow in Russia and German,
Japan and Italy. And we think
they ought to be capable of in
terpreting those facts in the
light of what might happen if
such policies gained the upper
hand in the United States.
It is always the uneducated,
the simple minded and the en-
otionally unstable who play in
to the hands of INSCRIPTIONS
politicians. These people live in
our country, and thew have a
right to have their interests
considered, but they do not have

ing that the s500.OOO monopoly
investigation, which is now get
ting under way, may be exciting.
Some Of the Brain Busters want
it 50. But it would not be if it
were based, as Chairman O'Ma-
honey wishes, on facts and not
fancv. Businessmen have Of
fered to cooperate fully with
the investigators. and the bust
nessmen will be prepared to Of
fer actual facts. And the facts
won't be what some of the
Brain Busters had hoped thsy
would be.
Incidentally, the gossipers are
saying, too, that the investigat-
ors are going to ask the new
Congress for a 100000 fund
to go deeper into the question
of alleged monopolies. That
would be the largest sum ever
asked for any investigation by
a federal Investigating commit
tee.
AS for Importance land by
way of comparison) the Dies
committee was given only S25,-
900 to Investigate un-American
activities Communism, Ease
ism, etc.. Dies job is a big
one. 1t is to develop how for
eign influences, like termites,
are boring from within to de-
strov the American way. Some
think maybe Dies should gey
3 millions too. This group of
thinkers believe it as important
to save the American system as
to try and improve it.
Treasury experts are busy
trying to figure out a way to
collect social security taxes from
farmers employing helpers and
house wives employing domestics.
The problem was given serious
thought in two recent meetings
in Washington. Both meetings
were to pool ideas for amending
the Social Security Act to cover
more people.
The method still favored for
collecting these farm and
household security taxes, &C
cording to reports, is the one
that would require the farmer
and housewife to buy special
stamps to be affixed to cards
carried by the workers.
