New land clearing was at the rate of 250 acres per year.
 Fairbanks market was largely supplied by shipments from the tates and amounted to $978,990.- co for farm products that should have been produced in the Tan ana Valley in 1918.
 Farm crops raised in the Fair banks area amounted to $178,000 in 1920.
 The following year the flour mill was built and excellent quail ity of flour was made from local grown wheat. The Alaska Rail- road was completed in 1921, and the future of the Panama Valley gave great promise of farming and mining.
 The Panama Valley Farmers Association, and the Fairbanks Chapter of the Mining Congress went all out in support of the College, and drew up and SUD- ported tentative appropriation of $190,00O to complete, furnish and operate the College and the School of Mines for 2 years. The Board of Regents asked for $40,- 900 and got $42,000, a sum about one-fourth the amount needed, relying on the Federal Land Grant funds to operate the insti- tuition. The opening of the Col 1ege with very little equipment and short of funds, with a skele- ton faculty and student body, and with short course in mining for the first two years.
 The 1923 Legislature was more liberal. The budget was upped, and a try for an appropriation ot $190,000 was made. Before the Committees in the Senate and the House an agreement was reached for $16O,0O0. At this point Presi- dent Brunnels famous telegram to a friend in the Senate that Snodgrass has run amuck, and that he would settle for $50,000. The support from Southeastern Alaska senators reduced the item to $90,000. A few years later I saw the item back to $190,000.
 Upon the retirement of Robert Bloom, Robert Lavery and Snod- grass from the Board of Trustees, the President got in his final punch and came out victorious with his University of Alaska. Land Grant Funds built the Uni versity. Agriculture was reduced to third or fourth place in the Panama Valley. Southeastern AL aska's : appeal for a University has fallen on deaf ears. Agricul- ture has about faded from the picture in the Golden Heart of Alaska. There are a mere handful

DOUGLAS WOULD KEEP THE R.F.c.

Senator Paul H. Douglas, of Illinois,
member of the Senate subcommittee when
investigated the R. F. c., urges that the
agency be retained, saying that to kill 1t
at this time would ''be like throwing the
baby out with the bath
Mr.. Douglas is an economist, having
taught the subject before going to Con-
gress. He says that the R. F. c., with all
its faults, has SERVED many useful tune-
tons, especially in filling gap In our
creditwtsaeture, /. 4s.s4ss... s,s.s..s.... 81.
The Illinois Senator thinks that basic
standards Of propriety should be followed
in ths future, with all discussions OF loan
applications taking place during office
hourg in public buildings and that the
docEuts of lending agencies be opened to
inspection to show not only the cases but
the attorneys and representatives involv-
ed, de fees paid, including "kickback,
"finGer fees" and "split fees"
This seems to us to be the common
sense viewpoint. The termination of the
R. FEC. and the curtailment of other gov
ernnfental lending agencies, would mean
the restriction of credit and chance that
credH will be controlled by the larger fin
ancia interests of the nation. If this occurs,
as itshas in the past, it will be an evil day
for the economic development of the cOun-
try and fat-profit day for the private
bankers who would manage the flow of
credit.

THE PLUS.AND-MINUS in KOREA


With the advent of Spring in Korea,
bringing bad weather to hamper flying
and rain to n1ud-tie mechanical soldiers,
che Chinese Communists are expected to
stage a counter-offensive, using a superb
ority of manpower that some experts sus-
pect is sufficient to compel another with
drawal of u. n. forces. La
The information about enemy strength
is not accurate, being largely "guesti-
mates" but generally the Chinese Com
munists are believed to have around 5OO,-
600 men in North Korea, with about $780,
600 North Koreans. In Manchuria there
are an unknown quantity of Chinese SOL
diers, together with between 100000 and
100000 men.
In the air the Chinese are very strong.
Estimates place the plane force at 600,
about one-third being jets. In Manchuria
he Russians have 200-500 planes and sew
eral thousands in Siberia. Use of Rus
sian-made jet is seen in Korea where it is
recognized as faster than our F-86 but
inferior in fighting qualities. Moreover,
the enemy is handicapped in air operations
by insufficient fields, radar, armament
and lacks other paraphernalia to inter-
cept and operate.
Thus, without taking into considera-
tion any possible contribution by Russia,
except in the way of supplies, equipment,
arms and munitions, we find the Chinese
outnumberng the U. N forces roughly
about two to one. Certainly, if this ratio
IS not real, it can become so through dis
patch of additional Chinese across the
Yalu river.
To oppose any offensive the u. n.
force includes at least $4,000 men but a
large part of these troops are South Ko-
rean, somewhat uncertain in morale and
fighting qualities, Without accurate in
formation, one might guess that the United
States has close to 100000 men, the Ko-
reans probably few more and the other
u. n. nations the balance.
We have certain advantages in the
air, on the sea and on the ground. Our air
force greatly outnumbers that of the Chi
nese-North Korean combination. In the
early stages. of the fighting we had practi-
SdlfS uiulSputCu COHJIOl OI lHS. ar. L lie
Russians, if they interviewed, would have
to make "a considerable contribution to
equalize the air for the Communists.
At sea there has been little or no effec-
tive opposition to the work of our naval
forces. The enemy has used number of
mines but these have not caused much
dmage. There is the threat of Russian in
tervention, with the use of submarines
against our ships. Until this becomes a fact
instead of a possibility, our ships will be
able to carry out operations almost I'M
hampered.
In addition to these advantages, we
have others that carry weight on the field
of battle itself Our mechanical units have
greater mobility than enemy forces to off
set this factor to a considerable degree.
More important is the great superiority
that our forces have in ground fire power.
We have seen it stated that, man for man,
we have ten times the enemy fire power
but the reader must understand that this
superiority cannot always be brought to
bear in conditions that govern much of the
fighting.

Cave-Type Storage
For Oil Reserves
Urged for Defense
BY the Associated Press

Oil experts have assured the
Government that it's entirely pos
sible-and may be wise-to store
large quantities of petroleum
products. including liQuif1ed Pc
troleum gases. in giant under
ground caverns.
Such storage, the National
Petroleum Council says in a re-
port prepared for the Interior
Department, would protect petro-
leum supplies from possible enemy
attack and afford considerable
savings in manpower and steel
normally used in preparing tanks
above ground.
Both manpower and steel are Of
vital concern to defense planners
in the present emergency.
The Interior Department had
asked the petroleum council to
make study of the possibility
of development of 100 million
barrels of underground storage
capacity In or near large market
areas.
The council, in its newly-com-
pleted report. said that salt for
nations offer the greatest posi-
bilities for use because artificial
caverns can be made in such
formations by pumping in fresh
water and drawing off the result
ing brine.
The report contained maps
showing vast underground salt
beds in Northwestern Texas, East
ern New Mexico. Oklahoma, Kan
sas, Michigan, Northeastern Ohio,
Northern West Virginia, Western
Pennsylvania and Southwestern
New York. and salt domes in
Texas, Louisiana. Mississippi and

Part OF this situation is due to

But there are other reasons, as
well.

France, are shaky. and military

Some Encouraged.
Yet top officers at Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower's Western Europe
defense headquarters say they are
encouraged. They say European
power can be mobilized in suffl-
cient strength to prevent a Soviet

support the defense effort.
1t. Gen. Lauris Norstad. COM
mander-in-chief of Allied air
forces in Central Europe, summed
lit up this way:
"One more air group won't
change the military picture. But
II believe that each additionA,
group has ten times the signifi-
canoe Of any comparable unit in
World War II.
II believe 1t is imperitive in the
next year or so to add whatever
small increments (of air power)
we can and to do it as quickly as
we can"
Dangerous Weakness.
The shortage of air power is one
of the most dangerous weaknesses
of the defense organization. Tile
basic plan calls for small, we'll
equipped armies backed by stra-
logically placed air forces.
But during recent maneuvers,
Gen. Norstad could call up only
$50 aircraft assigned to the North
Atlantic treaty organization de-
fenses. He borrowed" 800 planes
from other units.
One main bottleneck Is a short
age of airf1elds. These are to be
built by the individual nations in
volved.
But in France and Italy, par
ticularly. the best airfield sites are
in priced farmland districts.
American officers say they are
behind on airfleld construction

of troop concentrations and there

AS one result, Gen. Eisenhower
now depends considerably upon
aircraft carriers to supply the air
support that normally woud come
from land-based planes.
A second bottleneck is shortage
of modern equipment. The demand
for Jet planes Is strong in all

An estimated Is per cent of
Italy's industry could be used to

Rearming devastated Europe is
a complex and ticklish undertak-
ing. Even the cost Of maintaining
United States equipment might be
too much for some nations, say
American authorities. To make
the whole thing work, they add,
will require more unity than Eu-
rope has shown so far and faster
time table than has been followed.
But at the center of the whole

is a grim sort Of confidence that
