There's Gold In Them
 New England Puddings

JUNEAU-This is a good It. tie story but how to lead lt- as newspaper men say is a prob lem.
 It might be said "Dr L P DaW es recently took an X-ray of a plum pudding-"or it might be started off "A wedding ring that hadn't been off Mother Hawkes. finger in Old Greenwich, Conn.,, in over 50 years turned up in Ju neau, Alaska" but there you'll have the story so we'll tell it as it happened.
 MT and Mrs Jack Hawkes. of Juneau every year receive a 20 pound plum pudding from Jack $ mother in Old Greenwich. This holiday season on receiving the pudding they also received let ter in which Jacks mother ex- plained she had lost the wedding ring that had never before been off her finger and she could only surmise that the ring must have fallen into the pudding which she hated to tear apart perhaps needleSsly.
 Fond of his mothers pudding and also not strong on marring its solid beauty needleSSly Jack Howkes took the goodie to Dr L P Dawes and his X-ray machine.
 The proof of the pudding lay in the resulting X-ray picture the lost wedding ring from Con necticut very definitely in it.
 The ring wiped off and secure ly wrapped is now on its long journey home to Old Greenwich

TRANSPORTATION AND DEFENSE BASES

Launching of the Alaska de- fense program with its inter-wov- en set-up of air military and nav al bases involves not alone the establishment of the several sta- tions at strategic points. Once established they must be kept constantly supplied.
 In peace time the matter is simple. In the event of war it becomes vital. Assuming supplies come from the states supply routes must be kept open by land and Sea-and the several units linked up without interrup ton.
 : At present all supplies for coastal and inland points con- ing into Alaska come over the sea routes, Land routes from the Outside and locally will play far more important part in the future. Doubtless these facts are appreciated by those to whom '-1hs responsibilities of meeting all contingencies are committed but they cannot adequately pre- pare without the full coopera- ton of all agencies-and all should look forward to meeting the approaching needs.
 The many defensive bases of the Misunderstanding out like so many knobs on the map of AL aska-will neceSsitate interlacing highways and one or more hint erland lifelines to the heart of the continent.
 Ultimate ideal auxiliary provi- sions in relation to defense bas- es will witness not only a net work of highways throughout interior Alaska but also paralelI- ing air lines with their essential landing fields weather services communication and plane supply stations.
 It's big order to install and maintain all the projects and services necessary in the prem ises and today the situation pre- sents the picture of a prodigious task. But time will see the reali- zation of the dream.
 In the meantime as the pro- gram gradually unfolds let the more vital steps be taken first. Build the most urgently needed

would permit each country to have a balanced trade. It would never do for one nation to get caught with an "unfavorable" balance of trade even for single year. Each would need an agree ment with one or more nations to equalize the trade in some fashion either through direct sale of goods or through loans.
 Secretary Hull has sought a system of free and open trade under which a nation would feel perfectly safe in buying when and where it wished without fear that it would find itself with banks full of blocked foreign cur rency. That is Plan Number One" casually referred to here as the "old system"
 Nevertheless even Hull has had to modify his plan piece by piece in the direction of more closely regulated trade. In some of the trade agreements it has been necessary not only to agree on quotas but to base the whole treaty on currency agreements. That was one of the stumbling blocks over which the Argentine U S negotiations finally sprawled.
 Whether and how soon this government will be willing to take the next big step and agree to lend money abroad in order to equalize trade is a speculation
 Perhaps the United States since it has most of the gold will be able to temper the Chamber lain plan in the general direction of Eul'S unhampered interna- tional trade.

Emergency Call Service Soon To Be Installed In Fairbanks Airplane Area

Announcement that the staff of the Fairbanks station of the Alaska Communications System will be increased by the addition of another man March Is and the station then will keep upon until midnight to receive emer- gepcy calls from amateur sta- tions in the area was made be- fore the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce at it's regular weekly meeting at the Tivoli at noon to day. |.
 Sergeant Leon Harper in char ge of the station said that anna teurs calling on frequency 1912 can get this station between 2 am and midnight after March 15 and then after making the call arrange to send messages over their regular frequency. All that will be necessary for the anna teurs to do will be to provide themselves with inexpensive crystals to make the call said Harper.
 The Chamber members were greatly pleased over the an- nouncement and thanked the ser geant for the arrangement.

NEW ALASKA EXPORT PRODUCTS

A few brand new items which weren't among Alaska exports in 1888 appear on the 1889 customs report of Collector James J Connors. None are important as yet in the Territory's economy but they are welcomed to the list of Alaska products because of the promise they and others like them hold for the future.
 Last year Alaska exported $271 worth of cranberries, just a few crates, hardly enough to mention but the cranberry industry is one worth millions to certain of the States. Perhaps some day Alas ka will have a good share of this rich market.
 Other products which we ex- ported last year and not in the previous year include: reindeer meat S6733; reindeer offal $60; ivory $l461; seal meat $9858 and seal oil $8704 Reindeer hides worth $6665 were sent out last year compared to only $474 wor- tn in 1888. Other miscellaneous items, exports of which more than doubled last year were paintings spruce oars and fresh fish other than salmon and hali- but. Our shipments of unmanu- factured wool increased from 1 $28,51l to $50,258 and. our mills sent out $124,449 worth of tim Der and lumber as compared to shipments of $86,497 the year before.
 The growth of these numer- ous small industries is an im- portant development in Alaska. Today they supplement the vit- al fish gold and fur industries. Some day they may stand be- side the big three in value to the Alaskan economy-Juneau Elm pire,

Model Federation Is Proposed
 By Chamberlain

WASHINGTON - The model federation outlined by Prime Minister Chamberlain follows the rough outlines of Plan Mum Der Two" long under discussion by economists here as a basis for peace and commercial harmony in Europe,
 Doubtless, it is a bit jarring to Secretary of State Hull for it doesn't dove-tail too well into his trade agreements program in so far as the latter is based on the principle of most favored na- tion' treatment.
 The Chamberlain plans as now worked out between France and England is tightly-knit rela- tionship, It would require some major adjustments either on the part of the European federation or on the part of Secretary Hulls trade agreements program.
 France and England have az reed to stabilize their currencieS against each other. For practical purposes they have boiled francs and pounds together into a mon etary stew out of which the two units of money come with the same flavor even when they re- tain their characteristic sizes.
 They agree to coordinate their purchases so one will not bid against the other for supplies bought elsewhere. They agree first to buy from each other and to go elsewhere only later.
 Presumably they will regu- late their tariff schedules so each can work most advantageously with the other.
 Now it is easy to see that such a system will work admirably only when the government exer- cises a completely controlling hand in each country just as it does in those countries now. No free trading country such as the United States could get into that show and come out with whole skin. It would have to exercise the same controls over its com merce and currency that France and England exercise. Just now of course 1t is working out fair ly we'll for the United States be- cause the two war associates are willing and eager to buy all they can in this country and are not in a position to blackjack us into unhappy terms.
 Rigid as the plan sounds it may be the one that finally will evolve for Europe and for time at least for the rest of the world when the war ends. All the coun tries involved are fairly likely to follow the German pattern of bi lateral trade agreements for time until they can expend them into three or four or sided agreements along the Chamber lain lines.
 In any such event they would all have to agree on certain val ues for their currency on equal ized tariff schedules and a care fully measured give-and-take in finoppioI orroooa,,oo,o4c L; IL

WAR MOVES ON
TODAY'S BOARD

Already Red Cross food supplies
are beginning to be distributed in
France from abroad, raising a diff
ficult problem for Great Britain.
France has been declared hostile
territory by the British government,
since Germany is using French ter
ritory and French supplies ais aids
in efforts to compel British capitu-
lation. Food reaching France
through any agency whatever is of
important assistance to Germany.
since 1t allows the Germans to
seize that much more of Frances
domestic corps for the use of the
German people.
Medical Supplies
Medical supplies are not in the
same category as foodstuffs, nor are
baby foods which are not disable by
adults. But, since the Germans have
declared for total war" and since
France is German territory" for the
time being, it would seem legitimate
for the British blockade to put
upon Germany full responsibility
for taking care Of the food issue in
France.
To what extent Germany and
Italy can survive a bitter winter
of food shortage, with mroale I'M
impaired, will become the major
problem of the war In the event Of
failure to subdue Great Britain. In
the last war 1t was the blockade
that brought the issue to its final
decision. So important is the issue

German Bombers Are
Swar1ning Over Britain

Three German air raiders later
were reported shot down In an air
battle on the southwest coast Of
England.
One German bomber, diving on
southeastern town. dropped whistling
bombs, killing three persons and
wounding several, and then machine
gunned the streets and cattle In a
field. Royal Air Force fighters chased
the bomber to sea and were believed
to have downed 1t.
Near another town German planes
machine gunned trains.
Four bombs were dropped on q
Midlands village and several persons
were wounded.
In southeastern England, where
the days attacks started, two tre-
mendous explosions were audible
miles away.
Four Bombs Wreck Cafe
-Four bombs from one plane
wrecked a cafe and damaged four
houses. The plane then, 1t was as
serted, used its macine guns in aim
less fire. Other planes bombed the
countryside nearby.
A home security ministry COM
munique issued during the bombdngs
said:
During the night, bombs were
dropped on a number Of scattered
points in eastern and southeastern
countries and the Midlands. No cas-
ualties were reported except small
number In two east coast towns of
which q few were fatal. There was
slight damage of no military i'm
portance."
It was asserted that Royal Air
Force planes and anti-aircraft guns
had shot down 70 German planes
since mas air raids started June 10,
and authorities were confident that
numerous others had been damaged
so severely that they crashed on the
way home. In all lat German planes
have been downed over or near
Britain since the war started, 1t was
said.
British fighters were reported to
have surprised three German bomb
ers on the south coast this morning
and to have attacked them with the
al dof ground fire. Witnesses said o
fight occurred and that when the
planes moved out Of sight one OF the
Germans appeared in trouble.
