in the negotiations, Ambassador

business. In order to obtain the
benefits of the United Kingdom
preference, Canadian wheat, which
formerly moved in large quantities
through American ports, has under
the preference been shipped prin-

Opening her ports to wheat at no

Britain in the whole treaty. Such a
tariff feature will hurt Australia, a

apples have been dutiable in the

Mir. Conant on Scholarships
(New York Times

(New York Times)
 Not as a prophet but rather as a hopeful designer President Conant of Harvard takes peep in Harper for May at 'The Future of Our Higher Education" " The swarms of students into colleges and universities will be checked By 1860 whereabouts we shall have stationary population There will be more adults relatively and fewer youths seeking the higher education As for the learned professions, MT Conant thinks that there not too many physicians In regard to the number of lawyers he prefers under statement It is notorious that the profession is oyercrowded, and a hundred law schools turning them out in thousands
 specialized advanced education for persons who may be able to make living by it might bring an unhealthfu element into the nation At the risk of being dogmstc without sufficient evidence" Mir. Conant suggests that it would be public benefit if quarter half of the persons now doing ad- vanced university work could be dropped and persons of higher intellectual quality substituted:
 Tn spite of our much-vaunted democracy of op- portunity and education for all, can any one doubt that of the 89 percent who do go to college at least percent of high ability have failed to proceed for economic reasons?'
 Less than percent of American families have an income of 5000 more; 80 percent have incomes of less than $2O00 Compare this with the high school figures of 6 percent and the percent who college students. And in these times of unemployment it is harder than ever for students to work their way through college. MT. Conant agrees with Jeffersons proposal, 50 democratic to be revolutionary" He would "cull from every condition of people the natural aTisocracy of talent and virtue"
 The Harvard National Scholarships available at present only to the West and Middle West are built upon this idea. The authorities have found out from a great many actual cases how much family "of certain size with certain income afford to give to boys education The rest of all the expenses for freshman year is given by the college The brilliant well-to-do scholar gets small say $100 Nobody outside of the deans office knows what any scholar gets except perhaps inquirng official from other college. In this way the ugly features of petition among the colleges are softened.
 These scholarships are a Harvard experiment. watched with interest by other universities MT Conant is bold enough to affirm that unless uni versailles can supply scholarships with large spends to boys without financial backing MT Jeffersons culed natural aristocracy can't be attained This Harvard Jeffersoniansm looks good and we hope the fruits will be abundant Our young friends from the Middle West at Cambridge have the task perhaps little irritating to self-conscousness, of making good"

SITE FOR A PUBLIC AIRPORT

Inauguration of the new air mail service In AlasKa protected plans for establishment of further service between the States and the Territory and the general universal progress of flying brings home the fact mpressively that aviation factor in transporta- ton is moving ahead great deal faster than are ground facilities In other words there is tendency to accept aviation as an accomplished fact and do little about meeting the contingencies of the future when flying will demand more and more facilities.
 We need not go farther than Juneau for an example Here we have facilities for pontooned air. craft apparently adequate to the present needs and ample space to expand when the demand arises. On the Glacier Highway, short ways from town the Pacific Alaska Airways has private airport for the operation of it's planes But there is public airport here where planes with wheels may land. At the present time wheeled planes must get permission to use the private field
 1t is true that aside from the PA ships few wheeled or land planes frequent Juneau at the present time But aviation is moving ahead rapidly It is not going to be far in the future when general plane transportation will reach us from the States and, naturally enough it will increase in Alaska.
 Public land is rapidly being taken up adjacent to the city Looking to the future, would it not be an apropos time now to take steps toward acquiring land for a public airport site? It might be some years before it would be necessary to put it into service but if public land would be obtained at virtually no cost seems to bs it would rove' asset to the community in the future IL might be possible If 8 likely piece could be eliminated to get some of the clearing work done under eco labor as is being done on similar projects al the present time
 The time will come when Juneau and the Cas- tineau Channel community will need municipal or public airport If wait until that time to acquire the site 1t is very likely that will find the avail able land in private ownership with a fancy price to be paid before it be obtained.

 This would be alurng if it were not so plain that Great Britain has taken clear stand against democracy in Spain, has just agreed to n- dorse Ialys conquest of Ethiopia and has indicated she will make bargain with Germany rather than defend democracy in Czechoslovaka If Great Britain is defending her imperalisc interests at the expense of democracy, it is absurd to expect the United States to give aid

 However eager we may be to hold up the hand of resisting Fascist oppression it would be folly for the United States to make any positive commitments unless and until the British people establish for themselves. a government as ready as put the democratic idea ahead of the secur- ity of investments in foreign countries.

The Chamber of Commerce on recommendation of it's Local Industries committee headed by Chief Engineer Ike P. Taylor of the Alaska Road Commission, yesterday urged upon the City Council action in that direction and Mayor Harry L Lucas announced that the subject would up tonight at the regular Chamber meeting
 The committee has recommended area at the foot of Eleventh Street adjoining the site of the small boat harbor and it would appear to be apropos that the marine ways should be in conjunction with the small boat harbor when it is finally constructed.
 In carrying the suggestion for small boat service further, H. L. Wood brought to the attention of the Chamber of the major reasons why intelligent action is yitay necessary He explained that the lpkeep for small boats avetages from $1000 to $2000 per year much of which is for overhauing and vrtu- ally part of which is done in Juneau for the simple reason that no facilities available. ketchikan gets large part of this business and considerable of it goes to Seattle
