 The bill passed by the last Legislature provided only for survey to be made to determine the feasibility of establishing a branch of the University of Alaska in this area Even if favorable report is forthcoming, the big ob-that of securing the necessary funds-s yet to be and overcome Fourth Division legislators probably would fight such move tooth and nail.

SOUTHEAST II OF ALASKA

The Juneau Chamber of Commerce yesterday put in it's bid for Juneau as the site of the proposed Southeast Alaska branch of the University of Alaska report stating the for Juneau was passed with one dissenting vote with Senator Allen Shattuck opposing the plan because he does not believe that the Territory can stand the expense of two colleges.
 While we concede that Senator Shattuck has pointed out the weakness of the scheme nevertheless as other members of the Chamber pointed out if the Legislature going ahead with the plan Juneau should get in it's bid for the site.
 AS matter of fact it is not at all doubtful that ii branch Of the university established in Southeast Alaska, the branch would soon have greater enrolment than the main college. The figures on the number of high school graduates for all parts of the Territory would indicate that the far greatest number are resident in Southeast Alaska and there fore this area would have the largest number of poten- tial college students Furthermore living conditions are such that the of living in Juneau for college student would be much less than living in the Interior

The Habit of Saving
(Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 Final reports on the Victory Loan are impressive and also gratifying The Treasury sought to put m 900 GOO 900 bonds into the hands of the American people and their banks and corporations. When the smoke cleared away $21144OO00O0 of bonds had been sold That represents oversubscription of 92 per cent
 Most impressive of all is the oversubscriptlon by about 10 per cent of the $20OO0O0000 quota for Bonds That represents a withdrawal of couple of billions of purchasing power from the market for consumer goods At this particular time, with shortage of goods and a surplus of money that is very fortunate thing Sales to individuals of all types of bonds were 69 per cent above the quota of 4O00 100000 In large part this also represents saving instead of spending. But it also includes some in vestment Of funds which otherwise would have been saved in other ways.
 It is impossible, of course, to know just how much impact the war loans have had the savings habits of the American people. Some buying of War Bonds was purely for patriotism coupled with the inability of individuals to get the goods they wanted to buy Some War Bonds were merely convenient alternative to savings bank balances But it probably that many millions of Americans learned useful lesson of thrift and formed habit that will persist although on a reduced scale, in the years of peace.
 Some fancy economists have been arguing Tor wears that our troubles under capitalism come from too much saving Perhaps they have point. But few would deny that is wholesome for the nation, as for the individual when most families have habit of saving money systematically for future use

 Redman's committee recommend ed that Western Union be continu- ed in its present dominating posi- ton as owner of three cables and lessee of five more-with 99-year leases. The Western Union opera ton was given high praise.
 Once during the war, Admiral Redman had another occasion to discuss the question of Western Union operation. As member of the Board Of War Communicaticps, he received from the Federal Ccm- nunicaticns Commission Q datailed report on Westela Union operation.
 The rec was critical, lambasted Western Union as slow and ineffi- cient.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9 HEART AND HOME


 Young women who have deferred marriage because they are reluctant to give up their independence are warned that further delay may work to their disadvantage. No woman who has even an elemental understanding of herself can ser iously doubt that the compensa- tions of marriage are infinitely greater than those of lonely spin sterhood.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 New enterprises should be launch- ed with confidence and enthusiasm. but overconfidence at this time may lead to costly mistakes. Slow growth is better than rapid growth that ends in trouble.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Congressional action will probably result from widespread complaints against the administration of vet erans' benefits. Systems which are fundamentally fair for the majority may work many hardsips on in- dividuals. Many veterans will have difficulty getting into colleges of their choosing because of the over crowding.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Frances deep-seated distrust of Germany will manifest itself in a problem connected with Germanys occupation. It is not the stripped and helpless Germany Of today that France fears, but the unknown Ger many of tomorrow when she is no longer occupied.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A happy surprise before the years end a new and profitable hobby.
