Start OF Fur Industry

The fur industry had its roots
back in 1897. shortly after John
Cabot came to Nova Scotia. Cod
fishing became a prosperous bust
ness. The fishermen sailed the At
lantic to the Canadian maritime
provinces. While they were shore
drying and sailing their catch they
were pestered by the Indians for
knives. beads and trinkets from
across the seas. trading these for
the Indians fur clothing. Soon the
codfishermen found it more profit
able to trade in fllrs than to fish for
cod.

announced plans to make its study of the question of high prices and the rising cost of living One aging feature of the proposed inquiry is that it places chief emphasis where it properly belongs, namely on farm and food prices Since 1889 farm prices have risen about 80 per and food prices have risen 14O per cent whereas prices other than farm and food have only 60 per cent and iron and steel prices have risen about 30 per cent
 The unbalance which prevails in the price structure today is due primarily to this very sharp rise in food prices and farm prices This point is reinforced by an examination of the changes in the consumers price n- dex since the beginning of 1946 Approximately 7O per cent of the increase has been attributable to the rise Tn food prices This rise in living costs has been the maor factor underlying the demands for wage increases as workers have found increasingly difficult to get along their prevailing wages For other groups, namely those with fixed incomes, white-coar workers Gov ernment employees etc., relief can only come through declining prices.
 The study of the Committee on the Economic Report has two obectves to ascertain the of the pres ent high prices and the distortions in the price structure and to determine what be done about the problem The first of these should not be particularly difficult There is nothing really mysterious in the runaway rise in farm prices given the present situation In which heavy foreign drain American agricultural commod ities for world relief purposes concdes with cedented demand by the American public
 In the second place, the Government reluctant in the early months of the war grapple firmly with price control particularly in the field of agriculture In sequence farm prices had already risen by 70 per cent before general price control was adopted in 1942 Other factors making for a One-Way market in farm prices the parity formula and the price floors to which the Government is committed under its program to prevent the danger of farm price collapse after the and reconversion have passed Most of these ee- beyond the control of the present Adinstra- ticn but the latter has been entirely gultless It's nept handling of relief grain purchases which cumin- ated recently in its actually cornering the market in wheat added complication at least which the try might have been spared More bascay, of course its predsposton toward meeting all economic prob lems by granting higher wages has played decidedly important part in raising prices in all areas.
 Political considerations and the human element it is clear therefore have contributed vastly to laying the foundation for the price imitation which plaques And has laid foundation it is not easy to move it without risking the collapse of the structure which rests upon it.

PROFITS FALLACY

give chief credit for the high liv- ing standards we in America en- joy. We appreciate profit because of what it does for us. Everyone wants something "clear" above expenses: a profit on turnover, a premium above the growing-costs of farm produce, enough remain ing from wages or salary to put into insurance or savings. To in- dividuals as well as to businesses this incentive means "urge to get ahead"
 Yet, the profit incentive is widely misunderstood and malign- ed. Many folks talk about profits as though they were injurious. These folks indulge in sideglances as if profits were a vicious impo- sition upon the people. Profits, to some who are misled or misin- formed, have assumed a negative sound. The fallacy is that indus try arrives at selling prices by pill ing onto production costs as much profit as the traffic will bear. This is not the way profits are calculated.
 Price Tags First
 Sales prices on the tags are the prime consideration. In free competitive market, the price tag is not marked according to pre- conceived notions of waht the profit ought to be. Another fal- lacy. that free enterprise makes 1, goods for profit rather than for use, comes to light here. The con- sumer is king in a free market: the price tag is slave to the de- msnds of price conscious buying nublic. This is one game in which the consumer takes the sweep stakes.
 You and I manufacture radios. We meet .squarelv in the market, where mine is priced at S10O and yours at S75. If the quality is the same must either lower my sell l ing price to compete or give to the customer one-third greater value than you do. The lower the price and the more quality included the better off each of us will be- saleswise. And the first one of us to achieve quantity sales, or real mass production, will be the first one to give the customer lower prices and better quality. Compe- tition thus regulates the selling price. regardless of my costs. Efficiency Is King
 The cycle is just that simple. To keep factories running, the goal of our industries is to make a bet ter product available to larger number of people through mass production and lower selling costs. After deducting costs from the customers price the result may or may not be profit. When the margin is uncomfortably close. the next logical step will be toward more efficient production.
 Efficiency of operation means to industry the ability to keep down costs of making and selling a product The object is favor able position on the open market. This means that factories must be busy constantly. taking up the un- employed, supplying products at

Alaskan Newsprint

AIdsAdH l\cWSpIHt
 (Edtor and Pubsher)
 ALMOST EVERY NEWSPRINT expert will state the current shortage period will be with for several years All such statements are based the assump- ton the shortage period will end in the natural of events, that something is being done to end it.
 We do not believe the newsprint shortage will ever be corrected until considerably more production is planned than is in prospect We do not believe present production again will be able to supply the demand for newsprint We believe all economic signs point to an expanding newspaper industry.
 NeWsprint manufacturers who have been brought out of red ink the last few refuse believe current indications of expansion in the newspaper industry and therefore will not earmark capital expenditures for banded production.
 & found last fall that publishers are planning quarter of billion dollar outlay for plants and equipment in the next five years Circulation records broken in 1946. Advertising Image almost reached the peak in 1929 Both advertising and circulation fig ures for 1947 promise to be greater And in eff fort to determine what lies ahead in actual newsprint demand E & quered several publishers. Some re- plies:
 We consumed 50 per cent more neWSprnt in 1946 than did in 1945. We estimate in 1947 we will con- 10 per cent than in 1946 and that in1948 we will consume 10 per cent than in 1947 In each of the three following years we estimate that will Sume approximately five per cent than in each preceding year."
 We would like to have 15 or 20 per cent more news print in 1947 1946 We would like to open up the paper and advertising increases it is possible we would like another 20 per cent in 1948"
 Right now easily use 30 per cent more news print than have willing to say that conditions might level off to somewhat fiveyear period of 10 per cent less than what they now which would increase of 20 per cent newsprint than we have now, five years.'
 That's the way the newsprnt demand picture looks.
 After the recent thorough airing of the supply and demand situation before Senate Committee recently what has been accomplished? It proven that many small publishers having difficulty getting paper an attempt is being made to set up newsprint pooling arrangement to solve the short term problem Secretary of the Interior Krug admits Alaska has vast newsprnt potential Others acknowledge production must be had.
 In other words barring catastrophe depression the demand for newsprint will increase year by year and unless steps taken to develop production the shortage is going to get every year procras tinate.
 Alaska is logical source If private capital cannot be interested there, government agencies must be urged to develop those Steps must be taken imme diately.

IN MEMORIAM

In memory Of our dear Mother,
Mrs Ellen limbaugh, who passed
away. one year ago, March 81, 1916.
What is home without a Mother?
All things the world may send,
But when we lost our darling Mother,
We lost our dearest friend.
Some may think we are not lonely.
When times they see us smile,
But little do they know the heart
ache
We suffer all the while.
What grief and pain she suffered
here,
None Of Us will ever know
For Jesus took her home with him,
Where no tears will ever flow.
Flowers we place upon her grave
will Withcr and decay,
But love for one who sleeps beneath
VIII nyv2n, never fade away-Sadly
missed by her three daughters and
son.
