WEATHER BUREAU
EXPANSION FOR
ALASKA SOUGHT
Increase Requested Of
Fund for Meteorological
Serve in NorthIand
BY ]. J. ECKLES


CCCictdIy W Deicgdte DImOnd
WASHINGTON, May Especial
Correspondence - An increase of
S123,208 for meteorological service TO
aid air navigation, and of $3.50 in
the item for Alaska experiment sta
ton work were approved for the De-
partment of Agriculture Appropria-
ton Bill when it was reported out
to the Senate by the Senate Com
mittee on Appropriations May 5.
In vigorous pleas made before the
House Committee and the Senate
Committee on Appro priations in
support of these items, Delegate Di-
mond placed particular emphasis on
the need for additional funds for
Weather Bureau expansion in Al
aska. Supporting his testimony with
a statement showing the constant
growth of aviation in the Territory
during the past decade, the Dele
gate said that with reliable weather
information available, scheduled air
traffic could be safely initiated along
the coast from Southeast Alaska to
Cordova, Valdez, Seward, and An
chorage, to connect with existing
service from Fairbanks to other in
terror and northwestern points in
the Territory. When the bill was re-
ferred to the Senate Committee it
contained an even 100000 for
weather service. SO the increase
brings the item up to 1928, 2O8.
Justifying his request for the full
amount of the budget estimate set
up for agricultural experiment sta
ton work in Alaska, the Delegate
outlined to the subcommittee the
work now being done by the expert
ment stations a d the extension
service there and pointed out that
much of value would be lost should
the program now underway have to
be curtailed because of insufficient
funds to carry it on.

Britain Pays for Peace
cleveland Plain Dealer)


When the people of Britain begin to pay the taxes
which their chancellor of the exchequer submitted
to Commons recently they may well wonder if peace
comes much cheaper than war
year ago British armament expenditures were
approximately doubled. Now they to be sharply
increased again. Witness the auto tax of 1925 pei
horse power This $125 to SITS for the tags
Of a typical American light car. 1t explains in part
why British cars have coffee pot" motors.
The wealthy who already pay plenty will be
called upon for even larger sacrifices and the poor
vii pay more for the sugar in their tea.
Half OF this largest British budget since the World
war is Tor defense and half of this will be financed
through loans. So the most important fact about Sir
John Smons new budget is that Britain in the face
Oil the present emergency, has definitely turned her
BACK on the pay-as-you-go principle which she main
tanned at great cost in the depression years of the
l920s. Hitler has unbalanced the British budget
There will be traditional British grumbling at Sir
Johns demands. Laborites in Commons will register
pro formo protests and may seek minor changes But
the budgets acceptance is taken for granted John
Bull will draw his belt bit tighter not because he
enjoys it but because there seems to be nothing else
to do
