AIR TRAVEL IN THE NORTH
Widespread publicity given the airplane crash at Point
Barrow in which Will Rogers and Wiley Post lost their
lives, and the disappearance of the Arthur Hines plane with
the pilot and three passengers aboard, has created an incor
rect and inaccurate impression of air travel in Alaska.
Aviation has been one of the prime factors in the devel
opment of the Territory and the records show that travel
by air is an unusually safe means of transportation. Dur
ing the fiscal year ending on June 30, 1935, more than 13,000
passengers traveled more than two million miles in air
planes in Alaska, and during that period 225,000 pounds of
mail were distributed to remote posts of the “last frontier.
Hardly a week passes that a life is not saved or human
suffering averted by the medium of airplane transportation.
This summer passengers traveled from Ketchikan in South
east Alaska, to Nome on the west coast in ordinary commer
cial equipment on regular scheduled flights in less than 24
hours, and flights between Juneau and Seattle in a single
day are commonplace.
True, accidents such as the Post-Rogers tragedy and the
Hines disappearance do occur, but so are hundreds of lives
lost every year by automobile traffic mishaps. In compari
son with the number of miles flown, the deaths from air
travel is much less than the toll mounting annually on the
paved highways of the States.—Alaska Juneau Empire.
AN INVASION REPELLED
(New York Times)
The rising tide of nationalism now washes over the foot
lights. The British Labor Ministry has sternly ordered 26
American chorus girls employed in London to leave the
country. Britons can now breathe easier; another threat to
recovery has been scotched.
Adam Smith, of course, would not have thought so. He
would have pointed out, doubtless, that it is not altogether
certain that twenty-six British chorus ladies will now get
the vacated jobs. Because is is possible that the British
public was attracted by American chorus girls as a compar
ative novelty, and might turn out in fewer numbers merely
to see more of the home talent. Then, again, there is the
possibility of reprisal. It may be any one’s guess whether
there are more or less British stage people in America than
American stage folk in Britain, though one of the producers
affected by the British order exclaimed that there are “at
least a thousand” British showgirls in Hollywood. So per

haps one effect of the order, if we should attempt reprisals,
would be simply to throw two sets of girls temporarily out
of jobs, and theatre and cabaret patrons on both sides of the
Atlantic would have a less varied diversion.
Adam Smith would not have rested his case purely on
the prospect of reprisal. He would doubtless have pointed
out that, as salaries of chorus girls are not extravagantly
high, they were probably spending most of their British
money in London. Thus "the British were getting it back in
the form of added income to hotels, restaurants and shops.
Suppose, even, that the American chorus girls did save part
of their pay and planned to take some of it back with them.
They would be able to get dollars for their pounds only be
cause the British, as a result of sales directly or indirectly
to America, had built up dollar credits to sell them.
Thus would have argued Adam Smith and his classical
school, now, alas! so sadly neglected. Exports, they kept
repeating, can be paid for only with imports. And if an ex
porting country must take imports, could it take many more
agreeable ones than chorus girls ?
Japanese Naval
Games Proceed In
Face Of Storms
(By The Associated Press)
TOKYO, Sept. 27, — The Japan
ese Navy's grand maneuvers in the
Northwest Pacific, went ahead in
defiance of the typhoon which
claimed the lives of 53 officers and
men and caused a collision between
two destroyers in the war games,
carried on in the face of a 78 mile
gale. The storm killed three hun
dred and fifty persons in the north
eastern prefectures of Japan pro
per this week.
Counting fourteen lives lost in a
turret fire aboard the cruiser Ashi
Gara early this year, the total
deaths from maneuvers has reached
68 including aviators—eight officers
and two enlisted men injured ser
iously when a destroyer flotilla of
the fourth fleet continued to plough
through raging seas, East of the Is
land of Honshu, Thursday.
