Shipping Strike Endorsements
Fairbanks News-Miner)

One shipping strike in Seattle-and just at a time when it ties up ships serving Alaska at the beginning of the busy of the year-brngs a lot of embarrassment and disappointments to the travelling public and Alaskan shippers
 Aside from the merits of the issues at stake the trouble comes at time when Alaska little can afford to see interruption in the shipping service that practically is her life line
 AS in previous troubles of the kind travellers to and from Interior and coastal points may have to resort once more to avaing themselves for the time o the services of Canadian ships plying the Alaskan waters from British Columbia ports
 The pending in the Alaska legislature proposing repeal of the Jones act which forbids Canadian ships handling freight to Alaskan points will likely come into intensive consideration be- cause of this strike and its fate in no small degree affected thereby
 The predicament in which Alaska again finds her self in this strike and assurance of when another may be staged, emphasizes the fact that Alaskans at no time can afford to be caught without ample stocks especially of staples and essentials
 Even If the government put ships to relieve this region as it has done in similar troubles the past It requires no little preliminary planning and negotiat- Ing to complete the necessary arrangements
 A prolonged strike at this period coming when the throng of Alaskans wintering in the States are starting northward and when supplies are beginning to move for construction during the open season. makes the situation all the aggravated
 Whatever may be done between the contending should be done with all possible speed and with all mlndful Of the vital fact that Alaskans who are in noWlse responsible for the disputes and who make possible the jobs and business enjoyed by the seamen ana shipping concerns should not as innocent parties De Kept at the mercy of others

Bible Holds It's Own
Cleveland Plain Dealer)


 Jumping nimby from politics and social issues tc the reading tables of America and come back been eclipsed by Gone With the Wind" or even by Dale Carnegies compendium on how to get along in the world.
 The news is reassuring. Of course everyone has long known that the Bible the perennial best seller among published volumes. But many have wondered how many of the millions of Bibles which run off the press and into the channels of trade actually The question put by the Gallup boilers was What is the most interesting book you have read?" And still the Bible comes up first The nineteen which follow on the index of interest include eight published within the last few years All along the rest of the list pop up old favortes like David Copperfeld Ivan hoe Treasure Island and Tom Sawyer
 Since the Bible in the versions available to most Americans ndubitably contains of the worlds finest English, it's widespread approval would seem an encouraging indorSement of the public taste Yet 1t is not holding it's it should among younger readers, if the Gallup findings valid Thus while 37 percent of those 30 and named the Bible as most interesting book the percentage for those under 30 was only 6, However some of these younger folk like their elders turn toward the Bible when their years lengthen.
 Incidentally this Gallup poll showing the high regard for the Bible almost at the same time that the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America reveals figures which indicate that church membership in the United States is now growing twice as fast the gain in population.
 In spite of the fears of those who fancy the world is rapidly going to the devil it is clear that great many of us still read Bibles and belong churches

 Now we must admit that the Times editorial writer getting along pretty well until he got down to the last sentence In those final few words how ever, he gave himself away.
 A tax on all of Alaskas tax-free real estate not owned by Uncle would fall far short of footing the bill for the International Highway as to amaze New Yorker.
 If such tax would build even ten miles of the highway it would Alaskans who know how little real estate in the sense the editorial intends we have here in the Territory.
 All of which may be another argument for building the highway, which would at least make it easier fol such people the New York newspaperman to come and visit us and see what kind of country Alaska really is
