CT than has been levied thus far on other American citizens because they happen to live in a war zone?
 Alaskans will pay, and pay gladly up to the hilt. But when the money they would otherwise pour into De fense bonds, into Red Cross work, into aid for soldiers and sailors, in- them to do has to be used to defray their cost of living, the result will be impotentcy to help their country to the point they should and want to do.
 We believe the position of the steamship companies is a perfectly normal one. Their costs go up be- cause of war and they must raise the money to meet their costs of op- erations through raising their tar red per cent increase to meet their costs of operations in war time, that too is fair. But is it fair to expect the approximately 71,000 in Alas ka to pay the bill?
 We don't think so. We believe it is up to our government to cover steamship lines operating in war zones into the government war risk program, thus relieving some of the burden which is now levied on the small population of Alaska in ter rife freight and passenger rates.

Chamber Position

Fore-seeing prices sky-roeketing in the Territory as a natural result, Wrangell Chamber of Commerce, im- mediately moved through Delegate DimOnd to see if some of the heavy burden on Alaskans could not be, re- lieVed through government war risk on the ships plying to northern wa- ters It also petitiOned other Cham Der groups in the Territory to act in the matter.
 In making it's position clear, he Chamber stressed that its members realized the necessity of vessels op- erating in Alaska waters being sub ejet to naval and military orders. both for their own protection and because of the missions which they carry out for the Army and Navy. However. in view of this, il empha- sized, government assistance should naturally follow, rather than throw ing the entire burden on small population of some 71,00O persons in the Territory The Chamber point ed out the increase in rates would automatically add virtually 50 per cent to the actual cost of living of Alaskans, a financial burden far greater than has been thrown upon the residents of continental United States.

War Insurance

Insurance on vessels in the war zones, which includes Alaska waters. is particularly high and the ships are subject to orders issued by the Navy. When, for example, the Navy sees danger in vessels moving. they the not permitted to move. Cost of operation, some ships as high as S2.5OO per day, goes on. thus gen eral cost of operations of ships in war zones scars far above normal costs of peace time

laid out by the Red Cross. The next
step will be to familiarize enrollees
with the general organization Of the
Army, Navy, Marine Corps and air
forces and with fundamentals OF
military operations.
To Get Special Courses.
Volunteers will then proceed to
special courses for which their skills
qualify them. whether as pilots, OBJ
servers, mechanics. officer workers,
guards or automobile drivers.
Pilots will be required to learn all
possible about the terrain within 20
to 50 miles of their home airports.
There will be special courses in map
reading, meteorology, aerial navl-
cation and communication. includ-
ing radio, signal lights and panels.
Ground crews will be trained IN
maintenance and servicing Of air
planes.
Col. Blee said there will be mo
aimless flying, but rather the full
filment of specific missions de-
signed to further the skills OF the
airplane crews" The speaker paid
tribute to the loyalty of flyers as
a group while explaining that the
suspension of all licenses after the
declaration OF war was a necessary
precaution.
The licenses were revalidated by
c. A. A. inspectors as rapidly as pos
sible. he said. c. A. A. inspectors
now are engaged in issuing identif1-
cation cards which must be held by
all pilots after January 8.
Permits for Private Flying.
The c. A. A. board, 1t was said. Is
considering a proposal to permit
private flying only from airports
which can provide a guard service
during the period of activity at the
airport.
Flight plan files, he said. will be
necessary in case the interceptel
command of the Army Air Force:
wishes to check the identity Of sus'
picious airplanes. Changes In orr
ginal fight plans, which might
result from accidents or weather
conditions, must be reported to the
home airport. 1t was said that al
least tl,200 of the approximately
1000 airports available for private
flying will be approved eventually
Earle Johnson, Ohio director Of
aeronautics and commander Of the
Ohio wing, c. A. p, told the group
that c. A. P. is "the greatest thing
that ever happened to civil aviation.

Sugar Price Ceiling
Increased "A Gents
Per 100 Pounds
Consumers Won't Be
Affected Until Existing
Stocks Are Exhausted
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Ceiling prices Of raw cane sugar
will be raised "a cents to $3.74 q
hundred pounds tomorrow. 1t was
announced last night.
This figure is in line with the
terms under which the Government
is purchasing Cubas 1912 crop Of
sugar and molasses.
1t was explained that refiners now
had on hand considerable stocks OF
sugar, bought under the previous
ceilings, and said that no price in
crease should affect consumers until
those stocks were exhausted. Mean
while. o. P. A. will complete its in
vestigations Of refining costs and
will be able to determine what in
crease in refined sugar prices Is
necessary.
Announcing the new ceiling, Leon
Henderson. price administrator, said
appropriate adjustments would be
| made in the maximum prices of re-
fined and other direct" consump-
ton sugar on the basis of studies
of refining costs and present stocks.
! o. P. A. officials said some slight
increase in retail prices might be
expected eventually, but that there
should be none Immediately.
The new raw sugar ceiling Is
based on deliveries at New York,
duty paid. It compares with a
former maximum Of $3.50 for New
York deliveries.
While the New York price was
advanced "a cents, that for sugar
at ports on the Gulf and south OF
Cape Hatteras was, in effect. In
creased Is cents by q change In ex-
isting differentials.
Under the old schedule. the price
at the Southern points was fixed at
two cents under the New York price
to compensate for the shorter ship
ping distance from Cuba. The new
schedule limits the differential to
one cent, thus permitting an ef-
fective increase from s34S to s3.7;
a hundred pounds in the Southern
price.

CHARLESTON. W. Va. Jan. a.
Federal Judge Ben Moore. assum-
ing Jurisdiction over the involved
affairs of the $25,OC0000 Fidelity
Assurance Association. today gave
it permission to reorganize as a
combination insurance-annuity cor
poration.
The Wheeling wv Va company.
formerly known as the Fidelity In
vestment Association, sold between
1911 and 1910 an estimated face
value of $500 900 900 in savings con-
tracts in 20 States.
An ofilcial said the real value OF
present contracts is around S25,-
100000 and such value never had
exceeded $4,000 900 because many
contracts had not been carried to
maturity.
Appeal Is Forecast.
The decision permitting reorgan-
ization under the Federal Bank
ruptcy Act almost certainly will be
appealed to the United States
Fourth Circuit Court Of Appeals at
Richmond, Va, lawyers said.
At Madison, Wis, where an esti-
mated s2,000,0 900 worth of Fidelity
securities are deposited for the pro-
lection of contract holders. Deputy

Virginia.
Order Was Rescinded.
The Federal court last June 8 ap.
pointed the Central Trust Co. Of
Charleston as trustee and ordered
all assets turned over to 1t by the
several States and the receivers.
This took precedence over the re-
ceivership action instituted IN .
State court last spring.
Judge Moore later rescinded the
order for transfer Of securities by
ordering the State involved to
freeze" them until the hearing
ended.
