OUR MERCHANT MARINE

The revival of the United States merchant marine passed a milestone with the launching August 31 of the luxurious passenger liner America built for service the United States Lines with the aid of the United States Maritime Commission.
 The America is the largest merchant ship ever built in American shipyard. Its construction marks a widespread reawakening of United States ship building, stimulated by the Government when it be- came apparent recently that unless something was done the time not far distant when the American flag would disappear from the merchant marine of the world.
 The liner will ply the North Atlantic route between New York, Southampton, Havre and Ham burg and is scheduled to go into service in eight or nine months. It will be fitted out with the most modern accommodations and is designed throughout with emphasis upon safety. The America will be in the luxury liner class but is not intended to compete with the speed of the Normande the Queen Mary. Its approximate speed of 22 knots will enable it to offer reasonably fast schedule. The America was designed to replace the old Leviahan which has been out of service for years.
 strong merchant marine is desirable at any time. There is commercial justification for the United States Maritime Commissions efforts pro- mote the creation of sizable American merchant marine and the extent of government assistance in volved represents money well invested in the main tenance recapture, of Yankee commercial prestige on the high seas.
 In wartime, adequate merchant marine is vir- tually invaluable The United States can only hope that it did not wait too long to launch it's present merchant marine program The wooden ships of two decades ago and the vast waste of jerry-but vessels constructed under the lash of war are still an unpleasant memory.

 Bauer, Consultant to the Alaska Planning Council, reported today on the work in which the Council is either participating or directly en- gagged
 The Matanuska Valley Land-U Use study, for which Dr. Bauer has been assigned to serve as general secre- tary, has made an excellent start. Three soil technologists of the Soil Conservation Service have been mapping soil and vegetative cover types since July IS in the face of many difficulties. While the lack of a detailed base map, the dense yrowth of timber, and indictment weather have somewhat retarded the rate of mapping, the entire pro- gress made so far has been very satisfactory The soil survey party, headed by w A. Rookie, Assistant Soil Conservator, plans to stay in the field until the middle of october. Along with the soil survey com plete forage and Wildlife study of the valley and its adjacent noun tainous area is being conducted by Lawrence J. Palmer, senior biolo- gist of the United States Biological Survey. Palmer is assisted by Se-
 lected group of six eco boys. This
 phase of the survey will furnish in- formation on the potentialities of the region as a livestock and sheep
 raising area.
 Agencies Cooperate e '- The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
 monies in cooperation with the Gen-
 eral Land Office has sent two men into the field, Dr. V. Webster John
 son and an assistant, Dale Doty, to
 study farm economics, land owner-
 ship, the market situation and gen.
 eral economic features of the area.
 The United States Forest Service
 has assigned R. R. Robertson to
 make a survey of the timber types
 of the Matanuska Valley. The Uni
 versity of Alaska is cooperating
 through the Matanuska Agricultural
 Experiment Station, and the Alaska
 Rural Rehabilitation Corporation is
 represented by Ross L. Shcely, Man ager of the Colony.
 This is the first time that com
 prehensive land-use study of an AL
 aska region has been undertaken in
 which practically all interested gov
 ernmental agencies are participant
 ing. Credit for this coordination of
 efforts and responsibilities must be
 given to the National Resources
