living costs.

One of the biggest advantages of the income tux reduction is thdt it increases the effective income of all-not just those in strong unions but everyone who works. There hos been q serious element of relative injustice in many of the previous rounds of wage increases in thut they benefited some of the population but actually made the cost of living worse on others especially those with fixed incomes not subject to unnud union negotiation.
 Perhaps the greatest present economic ddvuntuqe of this increase in tdkehome pay is thdt gives ev erYone more income without of necessity increusnq the cost of goods or living. When round" of wuqe increases wds granted it dlwdYs involved cycle ot step-ups in the cost of commodities and products
 Congress insisted upon the .tdx reduction despite the administrations contention thdt it wos bad eco monies. The administration. however. olwoys hos favored wage increases And the present tux re- duction takes the form of very vdluoble-und not upsetting- effective wage increase.

Berlin Gratitude Is Expressed I'm Letter To Gov. Cruening

Northwest and Alaska Christmas relief ship to Europe, the follow ing letter has been received by the Governors office from the Maistrate of Greater Berlin:
 His Excellency, The Governor of the Territory of Alaska,
 Ernest Gruening,
 Juneau, Alaska, USA.
 EXcellency,
 We heartily welcomed your heavily-laden North West Good Will Train" win glad surprise. It arrived here with plenty of gifts as if we had wished for it to come.
 Upon its arrival about the mid dle of March our winter emer- gency programme had just been fulfilled but the last stocks had also been exhausted.
 Donations from abroad, above all from the United States, had en- abled us to render additional re- lief during the winter to the fol- lowing groups of our people; 54,- 900 aged people without means of subsistence were provided with a daily hot lunch out of Cralog donations during the winter; 24,- 900 apprentices in heavy workers professions received a substantial supper three times a week; 28,OOO undernourished infants took part in the Swedish meals; 17,OOO fe- male building workers who had held out in wind and weather received pounds food parcels from Cralog; the students feed ings were provided with extras on concentrated food; 5,677 thor oughly blinded persons and 784 persons with two amputated limbs as well as families with many children who were in a special state of distress were delighted with half of Care parcel. Tn this way the winter distress has been visibly mitigated by the gifts of foreign donors bu: now we were faced by springtime which is short of food, when the potatoes have been consumed. vegetables are not available, and the new harvest is still far ahead.
 In this moment your donations arrived here which were handed over to us by the representative of the Territory of Alaska, MT. Ralph Bartholomew, of Ketchi- kan, Alaska, in a most friendly way. With what deep under standing for our distress had the parcels been packed, every single one being a document of human kindness. What an immensity of reflection, propaganda, organiza- tion, and willingness to sacrifice demanded this huge plan, that the train from the farthest distance could make its way to us via mountains, wide plains and the big ocean.
 MT. Bartholomew who took the trouble to make the long journey will certainly have thanked you in our name. But we feel it our duty to thank you, Excellency, also in writing in the name of our City. If you would be able to pub licly convey our gratitude to all T
