Up in Maine. a state which the Friendship Train could not visit, the Bath Iron Works received an order to build 30 fishing trawlers to replace part of the French fishing fleet lost in the war And instead of sending these ships to France empty. the 33 Rotary Clubs of Maine undertook to fill the first trawler.

 On the same goods Fairbanks pays 7s cents more freight than Anchorage. yet the Fairbanks average is 54 cents less than in Anchorage

FRIENDSHIP SEEDS

Meanwhile the seed-growerS of Minnesota have worked out a coun- terpart of the CARE program, whereby packages of seeo can be sent to European families so they can grow their own food. Reduc- ing prices from $50 to $395, the seed growers have arranged so that anyone can walk into a seed store in any part of the country and consign a package either to friend in Europe or to an Ameri- can relief agency which will dis tribute the seed Enough seed to grow five tons of food is contain ed in each package.
 Meanwhile several druggists in Camden, N J., led by Sidney Zuckerman and Max Schwartz, have been working on the plan of a drug Friendship Train; and in North Carolina, the Council of Churches has conducted cloth ing drive under the slogan Fill A Ship With Friendship
 Finally on the West Coast there was great job done by the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska in filling special Friend Ship; while from California, the states maritime training ship, Golden Bear" IS carrying a special cargo of canned milk along with 100 marine cadets as special ambassadors to help deliver the food.
 One of the most important phases of this whole spontaneous move toward American-E European friendship is that most Of the people who organized these drives are sending their own representa-

Prof Henry A. Burd University of Washington economist who made study of Alaskan prices last year has published a report in Pacific Northwest Industry a University Of Washington publication, showing the results of his study
 We believe that Alaskans will be interested in his conclusions.
 Prices in Alaska are not high because of mgh reieht rates he reports While total transportation cost is no doubt an important price-making factor, actual freight paid for which alone the carrier IS responsible is relatively Insignificant There appears o be no correlation prices of individual items or of classes of merchandise and freight paid
 Prices are not high because of profiteerlng oy Alaska merchants, either, Prof Burd states By ana large Alaska merchants follow standard practices Tn pricing Because of local conditions their costs of doing business are higher than those of stores Tn the States
 Prof Burd concludes with this statement:
 Prices are high because Alaska is what 1t IS ana where it is-a vast sparsely settled dependent area distantly removed from of supply In any such area prices are bound to be higher than in more fav ored places artificial fictitious lower prices

Train. Whereupon the Main Sar- dine Packers Association raised a carload and sent it to Europe through the Unitarian Service Com mittee.
 Meanwhile, down in New Orleans which the Friendship Train had to bypass, various patriotic citi- zens got together and decided to adopt the city of Orleans, France.
 While the City of Orleans, France, was being bombed" says Mrs. Henry Landry, head Of the Orleans foundation. eur own New Orleans gained 100000 in popula- ton. We are prosperous. So we are giving little of our surplus to the starving people from whence we came.'
 Accordingly. the SS Maid of Or leans is sailing from New Orleans the latter part of this month load ed with food.
 Out in Detroit the other day, Jean Beliard of the French Elm bassy was addressing the Junior Chamber of Commerce which raised friendship caravan for France. Suddenly he got phone call from Kalamazoo.
 This is Henry Ford speaking, " said the voice on the other end Of the line. No, not Henry Ford, the auto man, but Henry Ford, the Mayor of Kalamazoo. We've adopt ed the city of Fougeres in France, and we want you to come over and give us a brief talk
 Beliard went. He reported to his Government later that he has never seen a group where enthusiasm was so contagious.

patriotic New Englanders had started organizing Friend Ship carrying food and clothes to the British Isles, while today two Ahre- ham Lincoln Friendship Trains leave from Lincoln, Nebraska, and Springfield, III.
 So it is appropriate and fitting on the birthday of the reat Eman- cipator to review the attempts of many Americans to carry cut his advice: Tt is for us the living to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced"
 So much of this work has been carried on by individual citizens and groups of citizens that it is hard for any newspaper to cover it all But it illustrates the fact that the American people have deep and almost religious con- cern for the welfare of their fel- low men. also that they themse.- yes want to play part in Ameri- can foreign policy, not leave it entirely up to diplomats.
 And il the Marshall Plan is able to harness this initiative, if it IS able to use this healthy desire Of the American citizen to be an ac- tive part of his own State Depart ment-then the Marshall Plan will be success.
 Unquestionably, central, coordl- mating agency such as that pro- ,ided for under the Marshall Plan is necessary to direct European re- construction. However, the wise Marshall Plan administrator will go out of his way to use the tre- mendous drive and desire of the American people to help their fellow men
 For instance, here are just a few of the things individual Amer jeans. quite independent of their government, have done to carry on the unfinished work and build friendship abroad
