They augur too that Japan is preparing for the time
when she may be forced to abandon her desuory war
in China and seek quicker gains in richer fields
For years the fishing rights In the coastal streams
along Siberia have been a cause of controversy be-
tween Tokyo and Moscow The first treaty signed in
1905 allowing Japanese fishermen to establish lots
for the season the Siberian coast expired during
the war. Since then the Soviets have renewed the
fishing treaty annually and the resulting disputes as
during this year, have often brought the two coun-
tries close to conflict The excuse Tor disagreement
constantly present if either nation wished to act
upon it. ...,-ss..
The sudden, amicable settlement and renewal Of
the treaty few days ago is evidence that Japan has
no desire to annoy Russia now. Recently the Tokyo
generals clearly indicated that their interests now

Events as ambitious as this must be planned
subject to the weathermans mercy and though the
quality of mercy seems strained the start of the
cleanup campaign, perhaps it is just well. touch
of cool weather is excellent antidote for spring
fever and attic cleaning loses its tang in nearsumer
warmth
The program of the cleanup campaign as planned
by the Chamber of Commerce Committee and support
Fed by civic organizations, clubs and others,
Is one which might well be used a schedule by
househoders in attending to their necessary vernal
chores.
An investigation of home fire hazards should have
"a place in every householders cleanup campaign.
Spanstaking check of the house with fire hazards in
Emird should reveal one circumstances which
scould start fire at any time Defective flues, faulty
furnace connections defective electrical wiring and
the presence of rubbish in Easements and garres are
jail fair targets for a cleanup minded citizen.
The cleanup program extends to the cleaning and
painting premises including repairs to fences and
Sidewalks. Easements and attics scheduled for
attention. An extensive drive will be conducted
against rats, mice and vermn.

domestic and marine employment
are a few of the types of labor not
covered by the law),. during his
base period" tfirst four out of the
last five calendar quarters(.
Another provision of the law
states that a worker who is receiy-
ing benefits must at all times be
able and available for work. He must
file continuation claim for bene-
fits each week, and in the event a
job is secured for him, or he finds
one himself, a stop order" is is
sued and payments cease until such
time that he again becomes unem-
ployed and eligible for benefits.
Benefit Based on Earnings
The actual amount of the benefit
check is based on the individuals
earnings in covered employment"
during his base PERIOD" the maxi
mum amount being SIG for a dura-
ton of l6 weeks, or $256 in any one
year.
The fund on which these checks
are drawn is called the Territorial
Benefit Account This fund has been
created and is maintained by con-
tributions collected by the Commits
sion from liable Alaska employers.
The entire amount Of moneys COL
lected by the Commission, plus the
interest accrued, is used solely for
benefit payments. The administra-
tive cost of the Commission is paid
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1939-04-27

by the Federal Government.
The Territorial Benefit Account
is stable and is not being depleted
by the issuance Of benefit payments.
Director Sharpe stated that the ay-
erage quarterly collections will off
lset the amount of benefits drawn
from the fund.
Alaska has entered an interstate
Benefit Payment Plan" which pro-
Iyides that worker, from any other
state or territory of the United
States, who becomes unemployed
within the Territory of Alaska, may
draw benefits from the state in
which he earned wage credits and
lis otherwise eligible under that par
of unemployed workers in Alaska
are drawing unemployment insur-
ance from the States. The same pro-
visions in regard to the requirement
of availability for work Is in effect
under the Interstate Benefit Pay
ment Plan" and the worker must
file his continuation claim for bene-
| fits each week.
Some interesting facts have been
published by the Social Security
Board, Bureau of Research and sta
tistics. The average weekly benefit
amount for total unemployment by
the Unemployment Compensation
Commission of Alaska, which is ovei
SIS, is higher than any other STATE
or Territory Of the United States.

Half-Rates for Love Letters

1t is pleasant to read that Venezuela, in this
serious age. takes time out to encourage love.
Whether the current Venezuelan dictator has
been influenced by Hollywood script writer's we can't
say but the Venezuelan postal service has announced
that love letters henceforth may be sent half rate.
This is SO charming idea that we hate to
mention that there are two catches in it: One that
the letters must be in pink envelopes for ready den
tificaton; second, that the Government reserves the
right to open these letters and read them.
Bureaucracy, however, is Bureaucracy whether in
Venezuela or the u S. A. To bureaucrat the diff
