ENCOURAGING MINERAL
 DEVELOPMENT

The wide interest being shown in the mining short courses is definite indication that the work is not only of great deal of value but that the inter- est in mining in the Territory is growing rather than receding all of which bodes well for further develop ment of the industry in the Territory.
 Howard G. Wilcox Supervisor of mining exten- sion work for University of Alaska who is here to start five-weeks course in mining instruction re- ports that during the first three years the work was carried on 1679 persons enrolled for the classes This is the fourth season and indications are he reports, that enrolment this year will be even larger. It all ready has become necessary to put second man in the field to handle the demand for these mining classes.
 One of the foundations of developing the mining industry in Alaska is the prospector. It is the men who invade the creeks, hills and valleys who locate new pay streaRs. It is pay streaks which will develop Alaska. And these prospectors must be men who know something about mining It is to ground men in fundamentals of minerals and mining that these shor5 courses being given The wide response and the eagerness with which men enroll to better qualify themselves go out and seek precious metal gives general encouragement to mineral development in the north.

THE BROADER DEFENSE PROGRAM

Renewed attention to the subject of defense IS being given Congress prepares to convene shortly after the first of the year Heretofore defense to the average person has meant adequate national defense and considerable emphasis has been placed on de- lending the west coast with air bases considered for Alaska in the general scheme.
 With the converting of the Pan American Con- ference at Lima however there is indication that de- fense may extend further than national problem, and may become question of security of the western hemisphere Here some of the questions which have arisen since the Lima conference called and which may be answered when State Secretary Corden Hull and the other delegates return to Washington:
 Since foreign experience has shown that it IS almost impossible to spend than 800 millions annually on the military items now proposed will Congress be asked to authorize huge lump sum, to be spent at Presidential discretion period of years? Or will the national budget be protected and poit- cal battle avoided by a spending you-go formula?
 What are the defense bases of the new program to be in terms of naval tonnage, guns and cruising radius; army size and equipment of airplane num- bers of increase and cruising radius? Hemispher- ic bcontnental what?
 Against which power, powers may we be req sonaby certain operate concertedy in the event of need, of the new security machine? Are they to be confined to the Americas, do the plans fanty Great Britain?
 What assurances are there that the Latin -Ameri- can republics will accept the United States the military protector of the western hemisphere, that interests and the interests of all of these republics
