A LARGER MONUMENT

From another end of Washington yesterday came

west where the boundary goes the ocean, TAX

down to Icy Straits; and the east taking in the
entire western slope of the peninsula which separates
Lynn Canal and Glacier Bay.

OF particular significance to Alaska from the
standpoint of national and territorial defense is the
passage by Congress this week of the huge Naval Air

OF this sum $11175,000 is for defensive bases in
Alaska The of $8,175000 is for the Kodiak base.
and $29000O0 for the Sitka base.
Alaska also will share in the way of minor allow
ances for scattered outlying sub-bases-and will be
tied in with Naval Air Base at Tongue Point, Oregon,
mouth of the Columbia River and Hawaiian and other
bases that will form part of the Gordon of defense
of the North Pacific.
The whole picture is af absorbing concern to Al

War Scares and Liquidation
cleveland Plain Dealer

Why if is imminent, do commodities and
securities decline in price? That question in some
form or another has been asked many thousands of
times in the last week or ten days.
The answer is fairly simple War means, above
everything else, uncertainty To millions of people
in central Europe it means the possibility of being
driven from their homes and of losing all their worldly
possessions In the face of such prospect money in
hand better still. deposit in sound bank far
removed from the likely zone, appears to many
as the best asset in the world. That much of the
gold coming to this country in recent weeks is direct
product of fears and of the desire for liquid funds
is certain.
Should war come it is quite probable that the
shares many types enterprise would become more
valuable. War waste and waste means scarcity
and higher prices. But what with present
tralty law the hand and sentiment in Con-
in favor of virtually confiscatory taxation of
profits it is by certain that this nation would
profit from another world it did from 1915 to
