CHAMBER NOT IN POLITICS,
 EXPLANATION
Juneau Body Regrets Mis-. leading Impression in
 News Account

The Juneau Che;aber of Com merce does not engage in politics and regrets that letter which it wrote last week to the U. s. Cham Der was represented in local press account as being partisan in char acter, the membership was told at it's weekly meeting today by H. L. Faulkner, Chairman of the Cham Der Legislative Committee.
 MT. Faulkner said he wished to correct a misleading impression caused by the press account, that the Chamber was taking issue with President Roosevelt and engaging in politics
 The article referred to letter which the Juneau Chamber wrote the President of the National Chamber in answer to letter from the National Chamber asking the local Chamber to express itself on certain issues now before Congress. A similar letter was sent by the National Chamber to all member chambers.
 Not Political
 The letter which was sent by the Juneau Chamber was endorsed by the membership of the Chamber at it's last meeting, but it was pointed out today that there was nothing political about the letter and regret was expressed that through any misunderstanding the local Cham Der should be considered as en- gazing in politics, for the reason that the Juneau Chamber is made up of persons of all political beliefs and it has never at any time taken any part, as a body, either Tn local or national politics.
 It was also pointed out that the letter in question did not "hurl criticism" at the New Deal nor verbally lash" President Roose- velt's program, as was stated in the article.
 The subjects dealt with in the letter were those mentioned in the letter from the President of the National Board, and it was pointed out today that the attitude of the local Chamber on taxes, social se- curity, the Wagner Act, the wages and hours bill and railroads was essentially that of members of the Administration.

 The move is connected with

 Great Britain is said by informed quarters to have sent proposals to Moscow for the inclusion of the Baltic States, Belgium, Holland and Switzerland in the proposed Anglo French Russian mutual assistance pact
 The proposal is said to have been included in the latest instructions sent by the British government to Sir William Seeds, British Ambas- sador to Russia.
 Meanwhile, European capitals pushed Far Eastern anxieties into the background as fears were ex- pressed in London, Paris anu War; saw that Hitler is planning a coup. perhaps this weekend, to regain for Germany the Free City of Dan- zig.
 In Danzig, Nazi controlled offic- ial sources ridiculed foreign reports that Free Corps was being or ganized there and that Germans were pouring into the city in dis guise.

 But Something Is Up
 Nevertheless the Danzigers pre- pared for homecoming to the Reich only two weeks ago as Propaganda Minister Goebbels told them they would return to Germany and for them to simply wait for Fuehrer Hitler to act.
 The British newspapers express fear that the Nazis regime is pre- pairing for mischief this coming weekend.

OUR ONLY SALVATION

One of the many things about the
New Deal which should give grave
concern to every business man, every
farmer, every wage Garner, every sal
aried employee and every unemployed
individual is its inability to learn from
experience.
1t is either incapable of understand
ing plain, simple truths or obstinately
perverse in its refusal to admit its
errors.
President Roosevelt, last spring said
that the way to balance the budget
was to raise the national income to
S0,000,000,000. Under Secretary of
the Treasury Hanes in recent ad-
dress in New York repeated substan-
TALLY the same thing.
This is all the more disturbing be-
cause Mr.. Hanes in generally conceded
to have a frmer grasp on financial
and taxation problems than the presi-
dent.
You and l know, to use a pet phrase
of the president, that if you earn $25
week and spend $50, there are sever
al courses open to you to balance your
budget. You may persuade the boss
to give you a five-dollar raise. Or you
may cut your weekly spending by five
dollars.
But suppose the boss won't give
you the extra S.. And suppose you
can't cut your spending by S.. Then,
if you can induce the boss to give you
$3.50 more, and you can spend $3.50
less, you can balance your budget that
way.
Now, Mr.. Hanes says that the boss,
that is, the American people, won't
give the government a raise. They
just won't stand for more taxes.
And he argues that the federal gov
eminent can't cut its spending.
So he says the only way to get an
annual national income of $80,000,-
100000 is to stimulate business.
But Mr.. Hanes knows only once in
our history-in the lush year of 1929
did we have an income of $80,000,-
100000. And he ought to know that in
view of present and prospective price
levels, it will be long time before
we can expect $8O,O0O,OOO,OO0 again.
For an increase in national income de-
ponds not alone upon more business
activity but upon higher prices as
well.
Of course let's do everything we can
to stimulate business.
But that isn't enough in itself to
get US where we want to go. We must,
at the same time, stop playing the
spendthrift with the peoples money

LONGER SCHOOL PERIOD
is SUBJECT OF ADDRESS
F. E. Rathbun, County Superin-
tendent, Explains Problem To
Parent-Teachers Association

Mr.. F. E. Rathbun, County Super
intendent, spoke about the problems of
an expanded school program at the
meeting of the PIT. A, November 9.
Mr.. Rathbun mentioned the fact that a
commission of five members, which
was provided for at the last session of
the General Assembly, was to be ap-
pointed by the Governor to study the
problem of longer school period and
the problems involved in carrying out
such program. He explained that the
public has always demanded better
schools and better school programs,
but the satisfaction of those demands
has led more demands by the thinking
people of the community.
He pointed out that changed eco
nomic conditions have made necessary
an additional year in school to take
care of those boys and girls who now
graduate from high school at 16 and
II years of age. Those boys and girls
cannot find employment due to the
lack of training, economic conditions
and because of their youth.
Mr.. Rathbun also stressed the fact
that the Maryland Congress of Par
ents and Teachers has been very active
in bringing about better educational
program in Maryland.
At the completion of his talk bulle-
tin was presented to members of the
audience entitled "Suggestions for d
Study of the Maryland Educational
Program" concerning the contents of
which Mr.. Rathbun had centered his
remarks.

PLANS BEING MADE FOR
CHRISTMAS SEAL SALES
Revenue From Sales Maintains
Anti-TuberculOsis Campaign
In Country

Plans are already being made fol-
the 33rd annual Christmas sale which
will begin on December list and con-
tinue until Christmas Day, it was an
nounced by the Maryland Tuberculos-
is Association, the official Christmas
Seal agency in this state.
The Christmas Seal sale, held every
year between Thanksgiving and
Christmas, provides the revenue for
maintaining an anti-tuberculosis pro-
gram in Maryland. More than
100000 Seals are being prepared
for mailing throughout the state, the
association reported, and these Seals
will be contained in approximately
$4,000 letters.
Nearly $500 other tuberculosis
associations and groups are planning
similar efforts throughout the United
States.
Among the important anti-tuber-
culosis activities in Maryland, all OF
which are made possible by the sale
of Christmas Seals, are: free chest
clinics, the Miracle House, medical
research, health education, X-raying,
tuberculin testing and clinic for in
structing Negro doctors in tubercu-
losis diagnosis.
The Maryland association was
founded in 1904, the same year as the
National tuberculosis Association
Since it has been in operation the
tuberculosis death rate has been re-
duced from 234.2 per 100000 people
to 68.3 per 100000. There has also
been a great decrease in the number
of persons i'll with the disease.
William B. Matthews, managing
director of the Maryland association,
said, Groups are planning for the
Christmas Seal sale throughout the
state and everything will be in readi-
ness when the sale commences on the
first of December
at is within the power of the peo-
pie to destroy this disease which has
caused so much sickness and death,
but they must be willing to cooperate
with the official agencies" Using
Christmas Seals will be a good way to
cooperate.

will serve as Christmas Seal chair

STATE CAMPAIGN STARTS
FOR PNEUMONIA CONTROL
The Disease Is Primary Cause
of Sickness and Death in the
State

Laboratory services and other aids
to practicing physicians in the dag
nosis and treatment of pneumonia are
outstanding features of the intensive
campaign for the control of that
disease, that has been started by the
State Department of Health. =
The pneumonias-there are several
forms of the disease-have been mat
tiers of concern to physicians and
health authorities for many years.
The disease is a primary cause of
sickness and death in the State. 1t is
exceeded, as a cause of death, only by
heart disease, cancer, diseases of the
kidneys, and cerebral hemorrhage in
the white population and by diseases
of the heart, tuberculosis, and diseas-
es of the kidneys in the colored.
Newer methods of treatment of
the pneumonias, discovered and tried
out within the last five years, have
resulted in the saving of many lives,
and the more recent discovery of GER
tain drugs, has opened the way for
even greater benefits.
The plan of campaign being fol-
lowed by the State Department of
Health was arranged with the ap-
proval of the Medical and Chirurgical
Faculty-the State Medical Society.
All practicing physicians in the coun-
ties have been notified by Dr. r. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health, regarding the servi-
ces that are available and have been
asked to cooperate in the campaign.
Full instructions with regard to pro-
cedure to be followed have been
mailed to each physician in active
service.
The campaign in each county will
be directed, DR.. Riley said, from the
Office of the County Health Officer.
The services of the central and the
branch laboratories of the State De-
partment, which are within easy
reach of every physician in the coun-
ties, are available for examination of
sputum and blood, as aids in the dag
nosis and treatment of the disease. A
supply of the drug used in the treat
ment of certain forms of the disease
will be placed with each health officer,
and will be available to physicians for
administration to patients who cannot
afford to purchase the drug at their
own expense.
AS the administration of the drug
is attended by certain risks, the State
Department of Health, through the
regional laboratories and through
specially trained public health nurses,
will provide special follow-up service,
to aid in the treatment of the disease,
and as a safeguard against dangerous
after-effects.

Steel |ngot Output
Expected 10 Rebound
Within Week
Sales Taper OFF, but
Show Promise for
January and Quarter
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Iron Age
magazine predicted today that steel
ingot production in the United
States, which it estimated at IA
per cent of capacity this week, will
rebound next week to approximately
last weeks rate of 89la per cent"
The journal pointed out that New
Year Day is not a steel mill hoh-
day and that, consequently, the in
dustry would operate a full sched-
ule.
Except for tin plate, which is in
a seasonal decline ." said Iron
Age, steel products are enjoying
a demand which is better than was
expected for this time of the year.
Sales have tapered off during the
past few weeks. but are still at a
level that holds considerable prom
ise for the first quarter and par
ticularly for January.
The presence of favorable in
dicatlons for at least the early part
of 1910 has not yet been reflected
ir scrap price movements. Scrap
prices are weaker in several centers
and the Iron Age composite has de-
clined for the eighth consecutive
week The weeks drop is is cents
