for profits comes out of sales and
goes for the use of tools and
the replacement of tools. When
profit is high, the chances are
wages also will be good. This is
nearly always true unless taxes
come in and take too large a chunk
or unless the company is so much
in debt that profits cannot be
used for new tools.
If I were an employee of a
company or working in an in
dustry, I would be very much
concerned that my employer makes
a profit. I would do all I could for
him to make a profit. Knowing
that my chances of having a good
jod and of growing with the com
pany would depend upon the suc
cess of the whole enterprise, I
would work hard to keep my em
ployer “out of the red.” Then I
would know that my efforts really
are building a greater America.

Dr. Larsen Studies
Ancient Eskimos
Dr. H«lg« Larson R«iurns
To Rosumo Studios Ot
Eskimo Culturos
FAIRBANKS, —Expeditions to
the Bering Sea coast this*summer
for the purpose of seeking out
connecting links between the an
cient Eskimo ruins at Point Hope
and at Dutch Harbor were des
cribed recently here to the Rot
ary Club by Dr. Helge Larsen
of the Danish National Museum
at Copenhagen.
Dr. Larsen, who has made five
earlier trips to Alaska to study
Eskimo archeology in collabora
tion wi‘h the University of Al
aska, is accompanied on this trip
by Dr. Erik Holtved, an expert
on the Eskimo languages of Green
land where he spent several sea
sons with the farthest north peo
ple on earth.
Ipiutak Discovery
In explaining the 1948 expe
ditions, Dr. Larsen reviewed his
meeting with Dr. Froelich Rainey
in Copenhagen, which led to the
expedition to Point Hope in 1939
and the discovery of the Ipiutak
village consisting of some 700
ancient Eskimo houses ond other
relics which connected the dwel
lers in this ancient settlement
with the peoples who had migra
ted across Siberia from Europe.
Further excavations were made
in 1941 and 1942 and then in 1945
Dr. Larsen came to Alaska to
study another ancient village near
Dutch Harbor in the Aleutians.
Similarities between the Aleutian
ruins and those of Point Hope
indicated that the two cultures
were connected, so the hundreds
of miles of unexplored territory
between the two points will be
investigated to trace tha path of
these early Alaskans if possible.
Three Expeditions
The expeditions, three in num
ber, will be caried out in collab
oration with the University of
Alaska as before. Dr. Larsen and
Dr. Holtved will go to Bristol
Bay to work northward from Dil
lingham. Professor Louis Giddings
of the University of Alaska, who
has worked with Dr. Larsen on
earlier investigations, will explore,
Norton Sound, and a student off
the University of Alaska will go J
over the area between the mouth
of the Yukon River to Unalakleet.
In hopes of linking the Alaskan
Eskimos definitely with the Green
land Eskimos, Dr. Holtved will
make wire recordings of the lan
guage, folk tales and music of
the villages he visits for compar
ison with the stories, songs and
dialects of Greenland.

Alaska Ship Phase
May Be Studied
WASHINGTON, — (/P) —Gov
ernment officials said yesterday
a shipping contract dispute af
fecting the Alaskan trade prob
ably will be included in a Presi
dential fact finding study now
being made for the Atlantic, Gulf
and Pacific Coasts.
President Truman has named
a five-man board to study all
phases of the maritime contract
disputes. An all-coast strike is
threatened for June 15.
Two panels of the board have
begun their fact-sifting job in
New York and San Francisco. Of
ficials here said the San Francis
co panel probably will decide
whether to include the Alaska
phase of the dispute.
Unions of the west coast sug
gested that the Alaska phase of
the contract should not be included
in the fact finding because some
Alaska shipping lines are not
affected.
