Value of the Dollar
lNeW York Times


 Secretary of the Treasury Snyder has informed the International Monetary Fund that do not intend to change the current gold value of the dollar. This statement combined with the of the British that the pound sterling will be tied to the dollar at the current rate, that new wave of currency depreciation on a world-wid scale will be averted for the time being.
 Almost three-fourths of the worlds trade is ducted in dollars pound sterling and this action should prove beneficial, since currency stability is an important prerequisite for world trade However stable currences depend upon more than assurances of Governments Basically they only be continued in the proper economic environment Thus the ability of the British to maintain the present value of the pound sterling will depend upon the success of their export drive the effects of efforts to natonaze 1n- dustries and how they offset the loss of income from investments liquidaed during the and the reduced importance of income from shuping and other services
 Our ability to maintain the present nterna- tonal value of the dollar will depend upon how soon we bring our fiscal affairs in order and ability to increase production by attaining orderly relations the labor front As for most other countries, 1t IS impossible now to determine at what level their rencies ultimately will be stabilized. Internal condi- tions in most European countries chaotic that there is sound basis for currency stability at this time
 The International Monetary Fund, therefore, does not embark upon its task of maintaining stable cur rencies under the most favorable circumstances Sue cess will attend efforts to the degree that economic conditions within each country become more stable The balancing of national budgets the reeStablish ment of favorable price relationships the evelng of barriers to trade with other countries, the re- establishment of production and transportation facii ties the repair of damages - these the fundamental prerequisites for international currency lStabiliZation.

THINGS TO COME

It is being whispered around that when the Leg islatre meets next Spring members will be handed biennial budget request for than $8000000 about s2OOOo0O over the bennium now ending. Looking at the results of the recent election it is indicated that some departments are going to have difficulty Tn securing what they ask for.
 The Department of Public Welfare already has been forced to cura aotmens by 50 per cent because of shortage of funds. The Department of Education already cutting to stretch out it's money to keep the schools open Other necessary departments will be in need of more money during the next bien- nium than they received in the current
 In addition to being asked to supply funds for existing departments many new suggestions are in the offng. It is expected that the battle TOT University of Southeast Alaska which was begun In the special session early this year will be renewed on the part of First Division members of the Leg slature.
 We believe that by the time the next Legislature meets the people of Alaska will not be in the mood for any new The inflationary shoe is already beginning to pinch in a number of places.
 We look to see drastic curtailment of all of the unnecessary governmental functions attempted with the hope that expenditures can be cut enough to eliminate the necessity of imposing new taxes.

tion with the New Haven Railroad, and at the last session of Congress finally achieved success.
 The last session was a lobbyists heyday. Reactionary Republicans and old-line Democrats held almost open house for big business. And completely blind to the issues, they passed a railroad reorganization Dill which would have thrown the New Haven Road into the hands of Kuhn, Loeb and Co.,, to say nothing of lining the pockets of MT Smith.
 Thanks to alert Congressman Francis Walters, Dem, of Easton, Pa, however, the bill never became law Walters rushed down to the White House and persuaded Presi- dent Truman to veto it.
 Only a handful of Congressmen had ever taken time to figure out what the bills intricate language meant.
 So now Mir. Smith is back to Wreak vengeance on MT. Truman. He has a new game, and new, very high-sounding name-the Life Insurance Policyholders Protective Association. He is raising Sl63,500. Purpose. To defeat pro-Truman Congressman because he is afraid they may undermine insurance pol icies.
 Funny how lobbyists, despite their clothing, seldom change.
 Note-Worse underminer of in surance policies may be runaway imitation now feared as a result of runaway price controls. It was Mir Smiths pals in Congress who start ed that ball rolling

MERRY-GO-ROUND

John L. Lewis has been much sicker than his family admitted A crisis followed his operation for appendicitis. All the nurses, doc tors and hospital aides taking care of Lewis liked him, said he was human and considerate, not bit as they had expected. Some people relish reports that they're in the big money, but not Henry Wallace. A report that he was to get S75,000 from The New Republic drew quick denial. He's getting little less than his Cabinet sal ary, which was $l5,000. Wal lace will remain in Washington this winter. then move to New York to take active charge of The New Republic. He has bought a farm up along the Hudson not far from his old friend, Henry Morgenthau.
 Wallace aides didn't want him to become an editor thought it would put him on the spot once a week, make it harder to stage a political comeback Not content With quick removal of most price controls, Calvin Zimmerman, a North Carolina Republican, wants the government to refund all fines paid to OPA yiolatcrs. He even wants the government to pay a penalty for fining them.

LOBBYING CHICKENS COME
 HOME

It's funny how old lobbyists, like chickens, always come home to roost. One of them, Robert E. Smith by name, has just turned up in the nations Capital, armed with high h-sounding titles and plenty of coin, to defeat Mir Truman and friends. just as he tried to defeat MT Roosevelt. It's the same old story under different name.
 Most people have forgotten all about MT. Smith But back in the aeyday of FDR's most important economic reforms, MT Smith came to Washington, rented sWanky home in Rock Creek Park and pro- ceeded to try to defeat the Holding Corporation Act. Congressmen were invited to lavish parties at his or nate mansion where sweet words were whispered on behalf of the big utilities.
 Finally, Smiths lobbying nest was exposed, and he slipped suietly out of the limelight.
 But not for long. He came back a little later with another high sounding name and another game of lobbying. This time it was call ed the National Conference of h. vestors, under whose aegiS he form cd a preferred stockholders commit tee allegedly to protect the rights of the stockholders of the New Ha- ven Railroad, then in bankruptcy However, a Federal judge finally punctured things for MT Smith.
 The facts leave little doubt, ruled U. s. Judge Carroll c. Hincks, ol Connecticut, in 1942, that the dominant motive underlying the formation of this committee was the desire to obtain gainful retainer"
 Then after exposing the way Smith paid salary to himself, to his son-in-law as office manager and even to his daughter, Judge Hincks continued:
 Tt will be noticed that none ot his (Smith'sl work affected in the slightest degree the course of re- organization.

REGENTJ VETO Uk BRANCH IN
 S. E. ALASKA

The Rev. w. Robert Webb who represented the City of Juneau and the Juneau Chamber of Commerce at hearings this week in Fairbanks, before members of the University of Alaska's Board of Regents, per taining to the advisability of locat- ing a branch of the University in Southeast Alaska, has returned here with disappointing news.
 The Rev Webb said the board had voted not to recommend the establishment of Southeast Alaska branch at this time.
 The Chamber Secretary reported that in discussions with Sen. An drew Nerland, President of the Board of Regents, it was learned the Board felt that any money ap- priated at this time should go toward construction to build up and improve the University at Fair banks.
 Recommend Appropriation The Board went on record as recommending a $50,O00 appropria- tion for development of fisheries.
 One of the Rev Webb's main points in his report to the Board was that a Southeast Alaska branch could establish strong fisheries and forest schools. He pointed out that fishing is Alaska's main industry and there is need for program of education and training concern ing it. He also carried to the board official word that the City Council of Juneau last Fall went OF rec ord agreeing to provide suitable location for a Southeast Alaska Branch of the University.
 Webb's report was followed by statements from William Baker, Ketchikan Chronicle publisher, who spoke in that city's behalf.
 Not Too Surprising T ] The Chamber City representative said that the Boards decision was not too surprising" in view of sevr eral obvious considerations. f i He added that all members of the Board, with the exception of Walter Stuart of Ketchikan, are residents of Interior Alaska l While in Fairbanks, the Rev Wehh saw and talked with almost all the IT students from Gastineau Channel who are attending the University.
 He said 50 percent of the enroll ment this year is from the out side"
 The Rev Webb will give a more detailed account of his visit before members of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce at it's regular meet ing next Thursday,
