Alaska Is Worth Development
Seattle Post -Intelligencer)

NSeauCle POSt-lnteIlgencer)
 Tn a little more than 70 years Alaska has pro- duced minerals worth than 100 times it's pur- chase price it is shown by recent Department of the Interior report.
 In the last year alone the output of Aaska's mines, estimated at $28607O0O approximately the Territory in 1887. And for many years past the value of mineral production has been dwarfed by the value of Alaskan fishery products
 Aside from its mines and it's fisheries, Alaska has enormous potentiaites. Oil and timber remain to be exploited. The Matanuska project. to be on its own, is a worthwhile demonstration of the Territorys ability to provide food for vastly in creased population
 A possession so valuable deserves being both well guarded and thoroughly developed
 The naval air bases provided for Sitka and Kodiak the army air base expected to be established near Fairbanks, first steps toward protecting national storehouse of natural wealth. They are equally important in protecting the entire Pacific Coast from any attack from the westward
 The proper protection of Alaska in itself is an engagement for future development operations. But the government it to Alaska and to the nation at large to speed the process.
 Better transportation-both within Alaska and between Alaska and the rest of the United States is the Terrtory's great need
 Plane and motor transport both require better facilities.
 It s time that both Alaska and this section should learn something more about plans for esab- fishing the projected Seattle-Juneau passenger and air snaii service And aviation facilities within Alaska need much improvement
 The necessity for more highways and better ones within Alaska is generally recognized And with the adionnment Of Congress it is to be hoped devoutB that United States and Canadian commissions will be able to meet and evolve workable plan for the Alaska International Highway
 If the entire North American continent had been under single government such highway would have been built years ago, Surely. two nations as friendly as the United States and Canada can find practicable means for meeting all difficulties inter- posed by the fact that two governments involved

The American League for Peace
ana democracy was on record today
with resolutions on foreign and do
mestic policies, including the advo-
cacy OF an embargo on war ma.
terials, loans and credits to Japan,
Italy and Germany.
Concluding its 5th annual session
at the Rialto Theater last night,
the congress expressed opposition
to any change in the Wagner Labor
Act, urged enactment Of an anti
lynching law and favored public
ownership Of utilities, railroads and
munitions plants.
The Sunday meeting was featured
by a 10-minute demonstration of
cheers and applause when Beryl
Whitney, the presiding officer, read
telegram of greeting from Tom
Mooney, who called for a unified
labor movement to the end that war
and fascism shall be outlawed from
the world
Mr.. Mooney, pardoned Friday by
the California Governor after %
years in San Quentin Prison in
connection with the 1915 Prepared
ness Day bombing at San Fran
cisco, expressed thanks to your
splendid assistance in gaining my
freedom, which is a great victory for
labor and liberal forces throughout
the world. My whole purpose now
will be to do whatever can toward
the creation Of better social Or
der"
The congress also opposed any
change in the w. P. A. set-up and
ear-marking Of its funds. The group
claimed delegates to the conven-
tion represented 1904 national, dis
trict and State organizations with
total membership Of 7,469,937. 1t
said this was an IS per cent in
crease over the 1887 representation.
Two three-member delegations
were reported to have quit the con-
vention because of disagreements
over resolutions. One group said it
represented the Maryland Depart
ment OF the American Legion and
said it had left because the meeting
refused 10 consider statement con-
demning Communism as well as
Fascism and Nazism.
The other delegation said it rep
resented the Citizens Civic League
OF New York City. It left because
the congress rejected a resolution
calling for preferential treatment of
war veterans in filling Government
jobs.
DR.. Harry F. Ward of New York,
professor at Union Theological Sem
mary, was reelected national chair
man of the congress. Following up
his published condemnation Of the

payment Of his fine started from the
date on which it was imposed.
Justice Laws ruled, however, that
there is distinction between a jail
or penitentiary sentence and a fine
with jail sentence imposed in de-
fault of payment. The jurist held
that the Police Court judgment was
not satisfied and that the Police
Court sentence could not have run
concurrently with the sentence of
District Court. The sentences were
imposed on different offenses, on
separate conviction, at different
times and the punishments were
different in character, he said.
Execution of the Police Court
Judgment was stayed during the
period the petitioner was confined
under the District Court sentence,
Justice Laws said, and 1t was i'm
possible to enforce the Police Court
Judgment until December 80, when
he completed his District Court SEN
