Flying Cargo
(Juneau Enpire)

The story of the heavy but nee eSsarv piece of machinery arriv- ing at some remote mining camp in Alaska by plane is now an old one. Air freighting has been a boon to the Territory, saving pre- cious days and weeks out of the limited season on many occasions. But a more general use of this mode of transportation is certain in the future.
 Looking ahead to the problem of using aircraft manufacturing facilities wh n the demands of re armament have been met. four of the major domestic airlines-Am erican. Eastern, IVA, and Unit ed have formed a corporation for the study of air express and air freight as distinct from tn passenger er-carrying business.
 Many students of aviation have long believed that eventually the mainstay of civil air transport would be the carriage of cargo. The Air Transport Association, of which the four airlines ar2 members, holds that after the war the flying of freight will be- come a far larger industry than at present. Indeed, the associa- tion's president points out that the war ifs If has prepared the way for this industry and created i-e es=cntials. The manufacture of huge bombing planes with very high load capacities and ranges and the transportation of tons of bombs under all sorts of weather conditions, clearly indie ates the physical possibiliti.s of transporting cargo by air.
 Already the holds of airliners in the States are crammed to cap acity with goods destined for fac tories at work on war materials Time savings that range from sev eral days to week or more are effected by air rather than sur face shipment. The constantly expanding list of goods for or dinary commerce now carried by wings is capable of much greater enlargement.
 Plans ar under consideration fo" ailp7rts to he devoted to cargo planes, including a large terminus at Jersey City where the proximity of eight railroads and good docking facilities Would assure ease of transshipment The action of the "big four" air lin s in undertaking this survey points ahead 10 an important de velopment for air transport is the days of peace.

The Farm Bill has passed the Senate by a vote of 61 to g, and next will go to conference, in view of changes made by the up per body. The measure carries an appropriation approaching a bil- lion and half dollars. In some instances, the amounts allotted to certain items exceed White House estimates, and have not as vet received the approval of the Presid-nt. It is alleged that a part of the proposed outlay can not be considered to be in the na ture of relief, since t applies to agrieulturalists indiscriminately, rich and poor alike,

Current Comments From Washington

Like the rest of the world, Congress is concerned chiefly with wars and commotions,' and with a state of affairs in which nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: yet now and then something of a diff rent sort comes up for ac- ton and attention.

Why Not Co To Alaska :?
Seattle Times)

Governor Gruening of Alaska has what seems to be a good idea He is very much interested in the proposed highway from the Stat es' through Canada and on into Alaska. It is a natural interest shared by all Alaskans, since the highway is intended primarily to serve the Territory and expedite development. It is an interest lately intensified by the aspect of the highway as a military neces- sity.
 Governor Gruening suggests that it may be well for the Am erican and Canadian Alaska High way Commission to go to Alaska and have a look. The Commission has held meeting in Washington, D. C., Ottawa and Victoria. Some of the Commissioners have con- ferred in Seattle.
 A meeting in Alaska should afford opportunity for more first hand information than is likely so be gathered at the distances. The Governor also suggests a Commission flight over the tenta- tive route. That, too, would be helpful. Hearing no objections, let us hope it will be so ordered.

Having committed itself to the policy of furnishing supplies to England, the United States logic ally enough considers the ques- tion of getting them there. The convoy system is a hot potato, which nobody seems to want to handle much or hold long. Th0 desir-s of the White House ar not known. British and Ameri- can experts are talking matters over, and the Navy is reported to be formulating it's own plans, simply on the ground that a good navy should be ready for any duty that it may be called upon to perform. Laymen content tn 1nselves with the simple view that when conveying by the Unit ed States starts, the trouble viii really begin.

tax gets the cuffs and sharp words that are supposed to be accorded a stepchild. The selected method of tax collection may b. mild or drastic, but there is ground for fearing the worst: the name of the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, in charge Of tax affairs, is John L. Sullivan.
The Nome nugget., 1941-04-23

Along with the songs of the mi grating birds of spring, the voice of the tax collector is heard in the land. The Treasury, the Houss. and the Senate have their heads together over a defense levy which is intended to yield at least a billion dollars. It is possible that in view of defense demands, the President may lay aside for he time being, the wish to extend Social Security that has been attributed to him.

A for reaching investigation along the line under discussion has been proposed in both the Senate and the House. While the country clearly is irked about strikes, it is realized that in the control of them, legislation may overstep the boundaries within which the right of petition and remonstrance should b. supreme So it comes about that the Dem- ocratic leader in the House has spoken a word of warning ag- ainst putting labor wholesale un der condemnation. He holds to the opinion that the President has both the pow r and the in' tention to restrain striking to the extent that the Constitution will support him.
 The President by proclamation has set a seven day period, be- beginning May 4, as National Job Week. Special emphasis is laid on q: condition of the naa over 40 and without work. Veterans of fba first World War, averag- irg 48 years of age, receive part  iouaar notice. Mir. Roosevelt is confronted with a strange task, embodying dual and conflicting responsibilities. He must find work for those who have none and want it, and look out for the welfare of those who have work and do not want it "as is," the last remark being no reflection on persons who have a justly grounded desire to better thzm- selves.
The Nome nugget., 1941-04-23

Although the President has ex press d himself to the effect that anti-strike legislation is not needed. and that the Mediation Board has the situation under control, Congress is inclined to search for first hand information, and perhaps to go farther. It is said that there exists a wide. spread dmand for a Congress sional stand against strikes which
