Plywood Manufacture is an in- dustry that could be established in Southeast Alaska, where both tim- Der and power are available.
 It is one of a number of basic industries that are needed to stabilize the Territory's economy.
 But the advent of plywood manu- featuring plants in Alaska was not hastened at all by recent action of our Department of State.
 In negotiations at Torquay Eng land, the State Department cut the tariff on imported plywood in half, from 40 percent to 20 percent ad valorem
 This means that where the duty on S100 worth of foreign plywood was formerly $40, it is now only $20.
 PlywOod imports come mostly from Canada. The State Depart ment announced that the tariff cut would give Canada more dollars with which to buy American :nanu- factured gooods ra- dios, washing machines, and SC forth.
 Unfortunately, Alaska does not manufacture automobiles, radios. or washing machines, and is not likely to for a long time hence.
 The State Department appears to be looking out for interests of eastern manufacturers and wage earners.
 The State Department also went all out not long ago in support of statehood for Alaska. But at the same time it is undercutting the very basic industries that could make Alaska statehood a feasible proposition.

Australians Test Simple Method
Of Producing Artificial Rainfall

new technique yesterday in a
speech at the California Institute

Up to now, clouds have beer

more effective, especially under
conditions encountered in his
count.
I'VE could carry tons of water
in medium sized bomber" he
explained. That should be enough
to make some S million tons OF

that thus far in our painstaking
research we have used a few hun

We sprayed that from DC-3 air
