To Inspect Salmon Pack

Studies of the hardness of the bones in canned salmon are lead ing to new information that will improve the uniformity of AL aska's canned salmon pack, pr. Ray w. Clough of the National Gamers Association, Northwest Branch told assembled salmon packers and others at the recent convention of the Association of Pacific Fisheries.
 Dr. Clough said that the Nation al Gamers laboratory was con- ducting studies of the hardness of the salmon bones using a new instrument especially developed for this purpose by MT. o. E.. ShoStrom.
 "The most valuable application of this bone hardness determina- tion will be check up on the efficiency of the retort, and the uniformity of the cooking which the salmon receive" Dr. Clough explained. By determination of the hardness of the bones, it will be possible to obtain inform ation leading to a uniform cook for all salmon cooked in a given retort.'
 Exprimental packs for carry ing on this study were put up in Bristol Bay and other sections of Alaska last summer.
 Another interesting use of the hardness determination is to re- cognize the various species of sal mon after canning. There is usually little difficulty in telling one species from another,' Dr. Clough said but the immature king salmon can be mistaken for the pink salmon. A determina- tion of bone hardness has helped in recognizing these species re- gently since there is a noticeable

The wires were kept busy, a few days ago, in an effort to To- cate a Senator who had left Washington. He had departed for a midwest city, leaving on his desk the manuscript of a speech which he was to deliver. In a pinch, an auto can be operated without tires; a man can walk barefooted in the snow if neces- sary; but what can be done for a Senator without Q speech?

Current Comments
 From Washington

With a view to raising a bll- lion dollars additional revenue and with an avoWed purpose of preventing the creation of mil honaires as an incident of war Congress has passed the war pro fits tax bill. Notwithstanding majority approval, there was grumbling and uneasiness, even among some of those whose vot- es aided in stepping the bill along to the President.
 It was faintly praised by some who could not give whole-heart ed approval. Others of the same mind saw no occasion to be too precise as to details, alleging that the bill was merely an at tempt to accomplish something by a method of trial and error, and that the program never would reach the stage of practic al operation. The White House at titude is awaited with interest.
 The excess profits tax bill re- presented almost the last item on the must calendar. The re- maining imperative legislation can be disposed of within a week it is said. That however does not mean adjournment at an early date since members of the Senate and House are not inclin- ed to disregard the general view that with events thronging in so last and so furiously, it will be a good thing to have the capitol filled with law makers rather than tourists.

Shakespeare has several refer ences to England as being safe because she is sea walled" sea girt" and so on. At the begin ming of the war, most persons were inclined to think that such claims were good Sixteenth Cen tury stage stuff, calculated to get an actor a round of applause but not of much value so far as military tactics are concerned, es pecially in view of what airplan- eS can do.
 The fact remains that tanks cannot cross a stretch of water twenty miles wide. For month, bomb dropping planes have come and gone. Current report has it that the field of conflict will be shifted to Africa. The German air activity is said to have been carried on in part with a view to breaking down English nor ale.

Italian newspapers outgerman Germany and declare aid to Eng land by the United States to be an act of war. In some respects, Italy reminds one of an infirm spectator who, having a seat re- mote from the struggle roars ad vice to the strong men who are taking the beating.

An outspoken Senator would have aid continued even to the extent of sending soldiers, especially if either of the American contin- en.s is attacked The more rad ical of the middle grounders would not hold a substantial cash loan, a suggestion to which the Pr sident is reported to be de- finitely opposed.

DROP in APRIL

Washington, D. C.-Colonel F. G.
Harrington, commissioner of works
projects, denied press reports that
w. P. A. had announced a reduction
of approximately 100000 in employ
ment during the next three months.
'No decision on W.P.A. employ
ment, beyond the authorizations for
April, has been reached" the commits
sioner said. "They provide for g.
10000 jobs. Our employment as of
March 20, was 2,311,512."
The commissioners figures Indicate
that approximately 100000 will be
dropped from w. P. A. rolls during

penditures authorized by Congress. If
similar cuts are made during May
and June, approximately 100000 will
be discharged from the w. P. A. by
June 80.

INSIGNIA OF FAIR PLAY

Increased activity on behalf of the
union label is reported by labor papers
in many sections. Business men who
handle union label products and en-
ploy union workers are beneftting
from this activity.
Union men and women everywhere
are alert to the need of promoting the
demand for union label goods and
services.
They know that the union label is
notification to the purchaser that
goods bearing it are made by Amer
lean wage earners receiving fair
wages and working under good con-
ditions.
They are emphasizing that the
union label is an insignia of Amer
lean fair play and as such is deserv-
ing of the support of every American
who has the interests of his country
at heart.

Supreme Court of the constitution
ality of Pennsylvania s alien registra-
tion law, which was to go into effect
last year. The high court has agreed
to review a decision of the u. S. Cir

The law, enacted last June, pro-
vides that all aliens 18 years or over,
with few exemptions, must register

Until it's validity is decided, the state
will not attempt to enforce the law.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

in the Canadian textile industry with
some mills making inquiries in the
United States for skilled textile labor.
To date, the request has been turned
down by the Canadian Division of
immigration, which still has its own
unemployment problem to deal with
in spite of the war boom.
Closing or partial closing of uni
versities and laboratories in Europe
justiies the statement of Raymond
B. Fosdick, president of the Rookie
feller Foundation, that perhaps the
most frightening aspect of modern
war is the intellectual blackout which
it creates"
DR.. Fosdick says that Europe's
mounting catastrophe" has necessi-
tated notifications in the founda-
tion's work though many of the scien-
tifc researches it finances are con-
tinuing.
"But," he adds, san attempt to keep
scientific workers at their tasks, laud-
able as its motive is, meets but a
small portion of the problem. At best
it can salvage for the future only
those whose promise is already in
dicated.
"No human precaution can protect
nation from the sacrifices which
war levies upon future talent-the
undiscovered scientists, the gifted
minds. the intellectual and spiritual
leaders upon whom each generation
must build the hope and the promise
of the generation to come.
Certainly the night in Europe
cannot be long continued without the
sacrifice of cultural values on so vast
a scale that the chance of an enlight-
ened and gracious life, not alone for
this generation in Europe, but for the
children and grandchildren Of this
generation, will be irretrievably lost"

SAYING 1T PLAINLY
(From Editor and Publisher)

Effects of the past few years think
ing on the public relations of impor-
tant corporations has become increas-
ingly evident in their annual reports
to stockholders. We have about a
dozen or so on our desk, and at least
10 Of them represent marked de-
parture from hallowed practice-they
are in plain English and they make
clear the implications of the account
ants figures. If lawyers have had
any part in their composition, it must
have been in collaboration with people
who know the language that is used
in daily conversation and in popular
print.
That is all to the good. We can
think of nothing more conducive to
careful management than custom
which requires an annual accounting
in words that are designed to tell
truth and not to conceal monkey busi-
ness. And we can think of no better
way of dispensing the clouds of pub
lie distrust than by telling in plain
words the truth about job well done.

Despite the growing fear of devel-
oping a dependence on war buying as
the handspring of our national econ
omy in coming months, one needs only
study the trend of our export in
creases to Canada, for example, to
see the important part war orders
are playing in business conditions.
Raw materials and manufactures are
equally affected.
The continued rise in shipments to
Canada is directly attributed to the
war, although commodity proper
tions, in relation to the whole, do not
vary greatly from pre-war exports
to the Dominion.
Values of these exports in January
were $41, ,647,0 as compared with
S26,657 900 in the same month last
year. February exports gained still
further to $43,131 900 contrasted
with values of 25,S01, 900 in Febru-
ary, 1889.
At the same time Canadian i'm
ports from all sources rose sharply.
Ottawa Ministry figures show Jan
uary imports of $71, 100000 compared
to $43, ,743, 900 in the same month last
year. Some Of this increase is due,
however, to a general price rise in
commodities imported.
Of particular interest in the OF
tawa figures are jumps of 1000 per
cent and more in certain January i'm
ports from the United States COM
pared to the same month in 1889,
meat leading the list in percentage
increases. January, 1889, U. S. meat
exports to the Dominion totalled
$68,000. This January they rose to
$894,00O principally pork.
Cotton sales to Canada are increas-
ing rapidly In January, 1889, they
totalled S687, 900 but in January, 1910,
totalled S2,652 900. In this connec-
ton U. S. trade sources report boom

Organized labor knows that the
American press is not all it should
be. Most newspaper men are also
aware of the fact.
The press is often unfair, just as
individuals are often unfair.
But it's mighty good thing that
the press is free to criticize, unfairly
or fairly.
If it was not, freedom in America

Bid 10 Roosevelt
For Peace Offensive
Forecast in Vichy
Move Seen us Result
OF Hitler and Petuin
Meeting in France
By PAUL GHALI,

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
VICHY, Oct. 25.-Despite reports
elsewhere, it is still the conviction
of political observers here today,
that the initial result of the meeting
between the aged chief of the French
state. Marshal Henri Philippe Petain.
and Fuehrer Adolf Hitler yesterday
somewhere in France will be a
gigantic peace offensive against
Great Britain.
1t is believed here that President
Roosevelt may be the medium
through which the peace offensive
will be initiated.
Hitler's policy, so far as the United
States is concerned, seems to be
chiefly electoral at the moment. and
it is thought logical that he may
ask the American President to put
into practice the noble words he
pronounced in his Philadelphia cam
paign speech on Wednesday night.
Some observers point out that the
meeting between Marshal Petain
and Hitler yesterday was preceded
by talks between Hitler and the
Spanish chief of state. Gen. Fran
