NEW MENU SETS ARE ISSUED BY ALASKA S. S. co.

For many years, passengers aboard The Alaska Line steamers have had kind things to say about the attractive menus and have flocked to the Stewards to get complete sets and send them to their friends all over the wor d, thus helping to spread the wonderful story of Alaska.
 Now in preparation is new set of menus which will prove even more popular and are there fore destined to be sent to even more prospective Alaska clients.
 The new Alaska Line menus, eight to set, will feature four color Autograph reproductions of eight original pastels by Miss Jo- sephine Crumrine, young All aska artist who lives in the Terri tory and has gained fame espec- ially for her dog and animal paintings. All the menu repro auctions will be of dogs. In her beautiful pastels, Miss Crumrine has captured the spiriti of the

An Alaskan Op ort

The announcement that the President has approved the re- port of the Tariff Commission which dealt with the difference between the cost of production of canned crab meat in the United States and Japan and has issued proclamation increasing the duty from 15 percent ad valorem to 22129o to become effective September 21, 194l, vii lbe en- Enthusiastically received by Alas kans who have been attempting 10 build this industry in the face of Japanese competition.
 During the ten years ending 1940, annual imports of canned crab meat ranged from 100000 pounds in 1884, to 13,500,000 pounds in 1889, and averaged 10,10O,000 pounds. During this period Japan supplied 73 percetn and Soviet Russia 2l percent of the total quantity imported, but by 1940 Japan was way out in front with 90 percent of the mar ket. These imports represented 95 percent of the canned crab meat consumed in America.
 Many of Alaska's coastal wat CTS abound with the finest crab obtainable and many attempts have been made to bring the can ming of crab into the position of industrial importance. Canned crab meat enjoys national dis tribution and has become staple article of merchandise stocked by grocerymen every where.
 With Japanese shipping very largely shut off and a 22i2fa ad valorem duty levied against such canned meat as may reach the market, it would seem that a golden opportunity is offered the packers of Alaska who have per fec;ed methods of packing thor oughly high-class product for which there is certain to be Ire mendous demand and market shortage.

The Alaskan believes, with Delegate Dimond, that too many Americans are giving too little thought to the gravity of the in ternational situation and to the need that presently will come for the making of sacrifices in the cause of national defense.
 Tn almost every section of the country, including Alaska, where employment and business have been activated by Government spending for preparedness, a very large proportion of those who are sharing in the potlatch are letting themselves be harm fully influenced by the boom conditions, without thought of the time, now rapidly approach ing, when they will be called upon to potlatch to the defense fund, or of the days beyond when potlatching will still be in order, and earnings a lot less than they are under present con- ditionS.
 The Government is doing what it can to smooth the way for mak ing contribution to the rapidly expanding defense program.

Current Comments From Washington

The Presidents Labor Day speech embodied much that was distinctly in order, including an earnest call for labor to exert it. self to the uttermost in the exist ing emergency, Those to whom the words were addressed will do we'll to take due notice there of and govern themselves accord ingly. Under Nazi rule in the United States, unions would be high up in the list of the first organizations to be demolished, and the ruin would be complete. The Presidents remarks compris ed nothing in the nature of a threat. They constituted friend ly appeal for service and the ex- ercise of the instincts of self-pre- servation. A Labor Day address by Hitler would be a crisp com mand, followed by no discussion of wages and hours.

 The Government must have all the money wage earners, busi- ness concerns and big corpora tions can afford to give, and if sufficient support is given to the financing program at this time, there will be less difficulty later on in carrying the financing pro gram through the emergency and the years beyond.

BIRTH CERTIFICATES

4, short time ago, Senator Lee, of Oklahoma, allegedly went to the State Department for pass port, but departed without one, because he had no documents to prove when and where he was born. The incident may well be carried in mind by everyone. Fey have any reason to bother about passport requirements, but the broadening of Social Secur- ity, the settling of estates, and a hundred other considerations, prompt the prudent person to guard family Bible entries, se- cure a sworn statement from parents, or obtain the best evil dence procurable, to be laid away in the bureau drawer or locked in the safe deposit box. In this connection, it will be well to recall that the registration of births, deaths, and marriages is not so ancient or so perfect as is sometimes supposed. In spite of the warning which these words are intended to convey, the ad- age about crossing bridges no doubt will continue to overrule the one dealing with the theft of the horse and the locking of the barn.

Wide currency is being given to the argument that tax boost will have a high morale effect, in that it will inculcate economy and regulate spending, so far as the individual is concerned. The argument is thin. The teaching faculty is already large enough. Another professor, in the form of a heavier tax burden, is not re- ouired. The plain fact is that the government needs the money for a worthy purpose. Why beat around the bush?

IHe country was astonished and shocked by the allegation hat the French embassy was a nest of spies playing into Ger man hands. The French ambassa- dor published an indignant de- nial, in which he made out a good case, clearing himself and his associates, according to com mon opinion in Washington. Yet it is difficult to understand how the French diplomatic service can be satisfactory to the Vichy government and averse to lend Ing hand to Germany at the same time.

An oft-pressed but worthwhile point raised by MT.

to be sold to banks which carry
Government deposits or act as Gov
eminent fiscal agents. ia
The bonds, which will bear 2 per.
cent interest and mature in II years,
will have a double purpose. The
bonds will be convenient collateral
since a bank must pledge an equal
amount of Government bonds to-
protect any Government deposits
Also, officials said, the interest from
the bonds will recompense banks for
fiscal services performed for the,
Treasury without other charge. Z
The Treasury will determine how
much of the new bonds any one
bank can buy, and initial sales were
expected to be about s70,000,000.
The bonds will be redeemable on
80 days notice by the Treasury at
