Stocks Decline
Continues, but
Caution sUrged
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor OF Economies, ~. n. university
The major uncertainties af-
fecting the value of stocks have
found little relief, and the mar
ket has continued 10 decline.
AS long as these uncertainties
remain in force, few people are
going to buy stocks, and some
are going to sell.
In such thin markets, this con-
dition means a declining ten
dency. Even the selling by men
who go into the army, though
probably not large in volume,
has some effect.
But on top OF the uncertainty
is the fact that in part the UNI
certain factors are certain TO be
bad. The uncertainty concerns
only the degree of injury. Take
taxes, for example. There is no
indication OF anything good. 1t
is merely choice Of evils, the
uncertainty being as to how
much OF the profits will be
taken.
AS the war news continues
mostly unfavorable, the length
or intensity of the struggle, or
both, seem likely TO increase.
The development of war con-
trolls, therefore. promises 10 go
further and deeper, and TO be
more harmful 10 business.
Accordingly. the market last
week fell into new low ground.
IL broke previous lower resis-
tance. Some averages are the
lowest since 1888. Others are at
1884 levels. In some ways, the
market showed the poorest per-
Torrance il has given since 1910.
y But. while there is no indica-
tlon that bottom has been
reached, and further declines
seem likely, there are several
considerations which should keep
one from becoming too bearish.
In the first place, this is war.
Wars always cause harm and
are injurious TO business. They
are always attended by central
lied control and RECOMMENDATION.
There is no reason 10 believe
that eventually we will not win
the war. and that we will then
swing back 10 greater individu-
alism. Incidentally, the market
has not acted very differently
from what IL did in the first
world war. This fact should be
allowed for.
In the second place. IL may be
OF SONS significance that the
composite average of 100 stocks
has not penetrated below 80. 1t
Is still slightly above the low
reached IN March, 1898, which
was 5000
But most important OF all Is
the fact that, from a long-run
standpoint. much OF what is now
being done 10 business is not as
bad az II seems. In my judgment
much OF the recent move TO tax
and badger business is political
and designed TO make il easier
10 impose higher taxes and
greater restrictions on labor.
IT simply doesn't make sense
TO think that so much OF the
earnings of business will be
taken that there is Cd no in
ducement TO enterprise, (2D no
chance for more wages. and go
nothing left for possible in
creases in future tax needs.
The tax bill is still a long way
krom its final form and passage.
believe that, just as Russia has
been forced by war TO pay more
attention TO the motivatio of
individuals. so the New Deal will
have to call halt in It's anti
capital and anti-enterprise ten
denotes.
But meanwhile. wait for def
mite indications OF bottom before
buying stocks.

BOXES BOOMING

The wooden box business is an
other booming industry little both
cred by priorities and other re-
strictions. So long as ammunition
is shipped in wooden boxes and
crates. this industry can expect
help and prosperity. One trade eS-
innate already places current pro-
duction about 30 per cent above
last years volume And despite
menacing gestures by the WIPE at
the use Of binding wire, nails and
strap metal. the trade remains
optimistic.
In the same class is the fiber
.container industry which benefits
from the copper. tin and aluminium
shortages that worry the metal
container and can businesses. In
gradients of fiber composition are
not critical materials. Kraft pulp,
waste paper. wheat and barley
straw, water, a little resin and

tournaments.

ALASKA EDUCATION COMMISSIONER IS
 BACK FROM JOURNEY

Territorial Commissioner of Ed ucation Dr. James c. Ryan re- turned to Juneau last night after a trip of five weeks spent in car rying out the Commissioners an- nual inspection of schools to the north and westward.
 Dr. Ryan reported that although it has been difficult to secure teachers, all but two of the schools were able to open on sched- ule this year, although several of them are operating without their quotas fulfilled. Supplies, too, have somewhat hampered educational ef- forts.
 pr. Ryan said surprising fea- ture of his trip was to learn that practically all city schools he visit ed have had increases in enroll ments. He said this is apparently due to the fact that many fami- lies from outlying regions in AL aska have moved into cities.
 Dr. Ryan visited schools in Cor dova, Valdez, Seward and vicinity, Anchorage and vicinity and Fair banks and the surrounding region.

Phillips Urges Registration for Trigonometry and
 Spanish Soon

Night School definitely will be held in Juneau this year, A. B. Phil lips. Superintendent of Schools, said today. Glasses in beginning and advanced typing will be held to- gether on Monday nights, with the first set for next week.
 Phillips, however, urged more reg istration for other classes. He has a teacher available for trigonometry He suggests that men who are likely to be called for Army service in a year or so take this advanced mathematics course, for there are many openings, especially in avia- tion. for men who know trigono- metry. Beginning and advanced algera, plane and solid geometry are necessary prerequisites to the study of trigonometry
 Phillips also urged registration for couses in Spanish, as a fine Spanish teacher is available in Mrs. George Washington, who has lived in Santiago, Chile, for many years.
 The bookkeeping class will not be held, Phillips said, because of lack of interest. Shorthand classes may be held if more registrations are re- ceived.
 Letters of inquiry about Night School should be sent to Night f School, Box 1271, Juneau. Tuition is $10 a class.
 Teacher Wanted
 Late this afternoon, Supt. Phil lips announced that 28 persons have registered for typing classes, which will necessitate the formation o1 two classes
