The Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey does not take
much stock in the generally
talked-about elderly misfits"
or the plight of the jobless men
and women more than 40 years
old. The idea of the Standard
Oil company does not fit in
with the general disadvantage
of the elderly job seekers and
employers asking for younger
people. A recent survey by
the company shows that more
than half of it's employees are
past 40.
The survey not only shows
this fact but it carries the en-

"there is ample evidence that

It's movements cannot be egslated 1t must be free

Secretary of State Hull is correct in saying that
any proposal to restrict the movements of the navy
to set up outside of which it would be forbidden
to operate would expose this country to jeopardy
The secretary's statement is contained in letter

motive for the questions was the fear that with
large fleet the United States might engage in

designs. But larger fleet is essential the first
step of self preservation in world rapidly rearming
On this point the secretary reiterated this ma
tons stand in favor of 5-5-3 ratio in ships among
ourselves Britain and Japan. The japanese have
refused to bulge in their determination to have
fleet equal to any in the world Britain and America
have little choice in the matter They must increase
their maritime defenses Hull makes it plain that

Of a naval 1t is not necessary to have combat
ships that match Britains Britain has far-fung
empire to defend while ours with without the
Philippines, is limited
To abandon the traditional policy of this country
in defending the lives and interests of its nationals
wherever they may be, would be sign Of weakness
which those nations which building larger navies

bond issue better knowledge of what the bill pro-
poses to do becomes known.
Primarily, Just a year ago. the measure
aimed to help Alaska to help itself. 1t would per
nit the Territory issue bonds up to two million dol
lars should it be necessary TO do to carry on public
improvements Passage of the measure does not
necessarily mean that the Territory would imrnedi-
ltely be bonded for such a sum- 1t simply places a
init on the amount of bonds which could be issued
IS Alaska moves along with its development program
t is little different from the law which now permits
municipalities bond up to 10 percent of their valua
ion if the residents of such municipalities see fit.
Che major difference is that the Dimond bill would
pply to the Territory a whole instead of the
arous cities.
Alaska constantly looks to Washington for finan-
al support as naturally it should under its very
United form of Territorial government. But such
l system should not be barrier to the Territory
helping itself when it can afford to do 1t is only
~ the latter attitude that can ever attain full
Territorial form of government-being able to show
hat we can do something for ourselves. That is the
principal objective of the bonded debt bill 1t is a
itep toward full Territorial form of government and

REAL CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION MAY }

On May g. two weeks from today Juneau will
celebrate the start of the air mail from Juneau to
Fairbanks via Whitehorse the result of cooperative
effort toward that end which been exerted since
the regular passenger plane service was maugurated
here three years ago Looking back it has not been
such a long time since the first demands were made
on the part of Alaskans for air mail As matter OF
fact. it has come rapidly, considering the various
contributing factors
1t will not be long until can say the same
thing about air mail from Seattle to Juneau and
thence over the Territory. Now. it appears TO be
quite struggle and slow process. But keeping at
it lust as was done to get the air mail service from
here to the Interior will bring results, and, looking
back later wen find it didn't take SO long
1t is full cooperative effort which will bring it
about the kind which u S Senator Homer T Bone
revealed the other day when he wrote the Chamber
of Commerce that the entire Washington state dele
cation" is back of the Seattle-Jneau air mail, and
the kind which is shown in the following recent edi-
torial comment in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
A. j. Dimond, congressional delegate from
Alaska is entitled to all the support Seattle
can give him in his campaign for an air mail
service between this city and Juneau
For years such service has been on
Seattles program, of progress
With Pan American Always ready to inau-
gurate a passenger service from Seattle to
Alaska provided it can secure hangar space at
poeing Field Alaskan air mail schedule
ceases to be a remote possibility and nears
actually.
The value of this air mail route to Seattle
is beyond question For merchants trading
with Alaska it is of tremendous Importance
1t is equally important to residents of Alaska
who themselves need and entitled to
rapid mail communication.
County commissioners are to be congratu-
lated for having lent sympathetic ear to
~ Pan Americans plea for housing facilities
~ at the airport
The Seattle Chamber of Commerce is also
entitled to commentator for its unceaSing
efforts to secure an Alaskan air mail route.
Let's put on real celebration two weeks from
today when the first air mail leaves Juneau for the
Interior 1t is the elimination of achievement
marking era in the north and signals another
event which we will be observing before we know it,
air mail from and TO the States.
