In the days ahead, we will be
 obliged to lose some of our great store of gold, for our own benefit and for that of other countries.
 How much we cannot now predict.
 This will make it imperative that
 we maintain and stimulate our gold
 production.
 This problem is so closely con-
 nected with the very life of our
 Government, it's monetary and cre-
 dit structure, that it has become
 Government obligation to en-
 courage and stimulate an increased
 production of gold, and to render
 encouragement and aid to the gold mining industry in every consist
 ent manner at its command. Taxes are a Menace A serious menace and drawback
 to our gold mining industry lies III
 the damaging and destructive Fed
 eral and State taxes imposed on it. Some of these, like the Excess
 Profits Tax in particular, are tend ing to discourage and retard the development of new gold-producing properties as well as those in op- eration. Furthermore, the costs o1
 mining are liable to increase be-
 cause of war conditions, and there fore. taxation on the industry should be decreased or eliminated
 altogether.
 The gold mining industry in the United States began campaign to obtain temporary congressional re- lief in 1918. For 12 years, from
 1921, I was privileged to partlcl- pate in this movement as it's leader
 in the United States Senate. Among
 the results obtained were indirect assistance granted in 1922 in the form of exemption from Excess Profits Taxes, and in creating the
 Senate Commission of Gold and Silver Inquiry, whose research as-
 sisted materially in maintaining and improving the monetary posi-
 tion and status of both gold and silver.
 Gold Should be Exempted It is my understanding that in the legislation passed during the last session of Congress, gold was
 at first included among the stra- tegic metals to be exempted from the Excess Profits Tax, but that at the last minute, gold was elim- mated from this list of exempted
 metals through a misunderstanding of some kind.
 As gold is as important as any, thing we know in the National De- fense program, and as there is an obligation on our Government to stimulate the industry and bring about a larger production of gold there is also an obligation on it to prevent serious harm from coming to it, and to render it the aid u
 needs by exempting it from the
 Excess Profits Tax.
 This is as necessary, important and far sighted step as our Gov
 ernment can take in carrying. out
 our National Defense program, and in making our country strong and safe during the trying days ahead and in the difficult world recon struction period which will follow the war,

Scout Planes
 Flying Along
 Greek Border

BITOLJ, Yugoslavia, Feb. 18.-Re- ports received here from Greece said large flying scout reconnaissance planes positively identified" as Ger man, have been flying over Greek Macedonia in recent days provoking fears an invasion of Nazi forces is imminent
 The planes are said to have ap- peared each day along the Bulgarian frontier and have caused as many as three air raid alarms daily in Greek towns.

1884, was fixed by law at one thirty-fifth of an ounce of gold. This is declared by law to be the Standard unit of value Thus, the gold dollar is the standard unit for measuring the value of every thing of value. Our United States Treasury is under the legal duty of keeping our paper money, ln- cluding Federal Reserve Notes, which constitute about tWo-thirds of our currency, and our subsidiary ccins, on a parity with gold. These two provisions of the law consti- ute Gold Convertability.
 Gold Backed Currency
 The Federal Government owed on December 26, 1940, and has promised to pay the 12 Federal Re- serve Banks 626, ,728,173 ounces of gold for the same amount of gold it has received from them, and has promised to pay in gold for all other paper money and coins in circulation.
 If our Government, or any other, should find itself at any tune un- able to meet its obligation in gold when called upon to do so, it would be compelled to Suspend Pay ments" on it's promises to pay gold This inability to maintain Gold Convertability' for period of time is generally called Going off the Gold Standard This does not mean, however, that gold is no longer considered the basic mone- tary unit of value in such country because it is considered so every where. and has not been demoni- tized in any country.
 It is generally believed that there never will be found universally acceptable substitute for gold which will be an international standard of value as well as the metallic backing and measurement of value of practically all the currencies in the world. Others have been tried and found wanting and abandoned during the ages past.
 Gold the Only Standard of Value
 Gold is, and under any and all conditions will continue to be, the worlds absolute and only standard of value, irrespective of the recent threats by foreign dictators to make it valueless by changing the worlds standard of value from gold to the Nazi New Order of h. ternational Trade by the Barter System, in all countries.
 Such a system would be as irn- possible of fulfillment as it would be unavoidable, impractical, sense- less, destructive to human welfare everywhere and utterly world- wrecking. The ablest economists and financial authorities in Ger many have repeatedly advocated the gold standard as the only work ble and practical system, but now they must submit to the dictators views.
 A world wide substitution of q barter exchange system for the present money and credit system in international trade would mean the decreasing of such trade on which our civilization depends. It would result in lowering the stan- dard of living to a condition ot poverty on a huge scale in the countries of the world. This sug- gested and threatened barter sys- tenn by Governments would mean absolute control of the economic activities of all citizens in all na- tions. also absolute control over prices, sales and all production. It would be the end of all freedom and would result in the ultimate

5idelights on fine Legislature

After the House had moved, de- bated and roll-called for half an hour this morning over bill to pay a 300 claim, Speaker H. H. McCutch- con admonished members: If you gentlemen take up that much time with small bill like that, what are you going to do with this one?" He brandished the 96-page income tax bill.
 Dr. Charles Bunnell, President of the University of Alaska, was put cn the pan by the House Ways and Means Committee this afternoon for the purpose, as Chairman Allen Shattuck put it, "of justifying the increases" he asks for the next bi- ennium.
 Rep. Leo Rogge went so far in
 the House today as to suggest
 that Territorial Highway Engi-
 neer William A. Hesse, who is in
 St. Ann's Hospital, would prob
 ably change his mind now about
 not signing voucher for KO-
 diak hospital equipment pur-
 chased without a bid call. Even
 with the best hospital care and
 attention in the world, we doubt
 whether Bill Hesse would change
 his mind about anything.
 Just one of those things that do happen, even in the best regu- lated families" Rep. Frank Gordor said Of the Kodiak purchase, made without formality of abiding by Territorial law.
