UNITED STATES IS
SELF SUFFICIENT1
" (5
WASHINGTON. July 6, ■(#>)—
From indications seen at the Cap
itol, Roosevelt now believes that
the United States, for the time
being, can make better domestic
progress against depression by a
voiding further international com
mitments. Some interpreters of
political events claimed that they
found many signs developing to
eupport the theory of American
•elf suffiency. A mong these they
•aid was the President's atttitude
toward the World Economic Con
ference and the United States
withdrawl from the International
Convention for the Abolition of Im
port and Export ProhlbUion Re
strictions. The President is sil
ent now on the World Conferenc-3.
ECONOMIC CONFERENCE
BLOWS CP
LONDON. July 6. (yp)— The
great powers of the old and new
world agreed early today to sus
pend the Economic Conference to a
more propitious time. Thus the
historic assemblage, .called in an
effort to improve economic condit
ions in tbe world, admitted itself
defeated
A violent collision n the mone
tary policies of the gold countries,
led by France, and the non-gold
countries, led by the United States,
developed.
The decision came at a midnight
meeting of the gold bloc, where
they decided that the American
stand, taking care of features
having their objective the raise in
commodity prices over chrrency
stabilization, only emphasized the
difference which temporarily leave
them irreconcilable.
The, Americans wished to con
tinue t^f conference, but lq|orm- {
ally expressed their willingness to
acquiesce in a recess, which was!
voluntarily set at two months dur-1
ation. The gold bloc declaration !
said that the American statement j
will facilitate the recalling of the,
conference, and permit it to re- j
y
eume later in an attitude of sy-'
mpatby.

THE
MUKLUK
TRAIL
■
—
(BY E. Lu BARTLETT)
WASHINGTON, June 5, —The
Department of the Interior/ has in
dicated willingness to approve a
bill designed to allow Alaska Rail
road employees living in houses
owned by the government at An
chorage to purchase them. Accord
ingly Delegate Dimond will draw
up a measure naving that purpoae
in view. It is probable that it will
be enacted sometime during the
Becond session of the present Con
gress. Many railroad employees
have expressed a desire that they
be allowed to buy their home In
stead of renting them and Secre
tary of Inferior Ickes expressed to
the Delegate his wish to co-oper
ate in this.
If H. R. 1735 becomes a itw the
present limitation on radio broad
cast facilities in Alaska would be
removed, butt it would still be nec
essary for any applicant to sat
isfy the Federal Radio Commission
that public interest, convenience
and necessity would be served by
assignment of additional facilities.
Under the commission's system of
quotas Alaska now Is entitled to
38 unit and actually has .88 unit
and therefore is approximately 79
per cent over-quota.
A powerful organisation In the
movement to devaluate the dollar
la the Committee for the Nation,
a body composed of leading busi
ness men. To achieve this end, it
would follow substantially the
same mcftbod recently approved by
a resolution passed by the Anchor
age Chamber of Commerce. The
Committee for thd Nation recom
uihuun itnat gold be repriced av
$36.17 an ounce. By virtue of
legislation passed by the present
Congress the President is empow
ered to take such action, one im
mediate effect of which undoubted
ly would be a vast acceleration in
gold mining In Alaska and else
wheie. On the directing commit
tee for the Nation are J.H. Band,
Jr., head of Remington Rand, Inc.,
Frederic H. Frazier, chairman of
the General Baking Company, Vin
cent Bendix, president of the Bend
lx Aviation Conp., Lessing J. Rosen
weld, chairman of Sears, Roebuck
& Co., and F.H. Sexauer, president'
of the Dainnen’s League Co-oper
ative Association Inc.
One of the objects of inflation—
higher commodity prices—can not
but work inj'ury to the gold min
ing industry. The limited extent
to which inflation has not been
carried has brought about higher
pricers and gold miners, with the
prite for their product stationary,
are directly affected. The embar
go on gold prevents a free mar
ket in the metal, which would
have the effect of raising the price j
substantially now that the dollar
is depreciated.
The Committee for the Nation,
of course, is not concerned with
gold miming as such when it re
commends a higher price for gold,
but it believes ln that manner
prosperity will be restored.
How depreciation and the gold
embargo have reacted to the dis
advantage of gold minings will be1
realized by the fact that on May
15 it required 118-plus U.S. dol
lars to buy the legal gold content
of 1100.
The President now has It in his
power to reduce the dollar's gold
content up to 50 per cent, which
would automatically increase the
gold price and serve as, jugpur to
the industry concerned with min
ing the metal.
' A change in post masterships of
fourth class offices fs not necess
arily indicated by a change in ad
ministration. A pos master of a
fourth class office is subject to re
moval only for cause, according to
a ruling by the department. If
the duties of the office are per
formed satisfactorily the fourth
class postmas'ers retain their ap
pointments, no matter whether the
administration be Democratic or
Republican.
Last week President Roosevelt
signed the third deficiency bill,
which includes 821,000 for repairs
to the Lowell Creek flume *t Sea
ward.
Recently Delegate Dhuond took
up with Sena-toT Wagner, author of
the Public Works Bill, the possib
ility of adding an amendment*' to
Section 204, which provides funds
for highway construction under
the federal highway aid system,
so that Alaska will not be discrim
inated against.
Hoxerver, the ....New York Senator
believes Alaska Is amply protect
ed In proceeding section of the bill.
Writing to the Delegate he said:
“I am confident that the provision
of Section 204 does not exclude
the possMriHty of highway con
struction under other section of
the bill. And under these other
sections, the Territory of Alaska
could be amply provided for.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK

L. C. Snyder, advertising direct
of the Seattle Times, says:
“In today's world, fast-moving
and chameleo>n-llke, tbs newspaper,
chronicling events as they occur, Is
a vital,, necessary part of tmosn
progress. Toward the newspaper
men and women alike turn for
current information covering the
happenings of the social and busi
ness sides of life. Instinctively as
the years have passed they have
come to recognise in advertising,
as well as the editorial content of
the newspaper, news of vital im
portance to their continued hap
piness.
Each year brings changes to
*
1 each city; children are born and
'people die; others grow to matur
ity talcing up the burden where
their predecessors have baited.
Many of these new masters and mis
tresses of the households of tbs
city are shopping for th& fiTst time.
They have no open minds and their
habits of the future are In the mak
ing. Because youth'is more demand
ing they will not accept without
question the precedents laid down
by" their fathers. They will search
and find fotr themselves the products
they will use in their homes, the
food they will consume, and the
clothes they wear on their backs.
To these young people and to those
pciple who arc not habit forming,
whj| do hot return naturally to the
store where they purchased before
and there are many of them—and
to those who have been dissatis
fied with the service rendered re
ceived elsewhere and wish to make
a change, the message of the mer
chant of today must be told.
No better medium than the news
paper in which to speak to each of
these classes can be found. All
have a common interest In the
newspaper; it chronicles for each
some event or series of events that
to that Individual is all important.
No other medium for advertising
is so all-embracing; no other med
ium offers a potential market so
large,, within a national shopping
area where a definite interest gua
rantees the lOOcfc attention of each
person contacted."
"The advertising message of to
day should be pftaoed with the
news of today."
GOLD TO BE LOCATED
IN ALASKA
According to word received by
the iNome Nugget from C. Kirk Hil
lman Oo. of Seattle three gold pros
peering drills of new design were
recently released by the Keystone
t>riller Co. These machines go di
rect to gold properties in Alaska,
where they will test placer ground.
With these drills all uncertainty
and gamble Is eliminated from gold
dredging or hydraullcking, as they
definitely locate the elusive yellow
metal and determine within a few
per cent the exact value of the
gTound.
When a property is properly Key
stoned the dredge operator knows
Just where it will be most profit
able to work and can tell almost
exactly what value of gold will be
recovered from any property.
It is a possibility that the Unit
ed States government will follow
the example of the Cnn&dian gov
ernment in encouraging and stabil
izing gold recovery by supplying
prospectors and gold property own
ers with Keystoning equipment.
This wftl give sure returns to
thousands of unemployed who can
not afford to gamble on barren
ground but who would gladly aid
;in the production of the much
1 needed gold If the ground were first
| drilled, thus insuring them that
their pay was certain.

"that is what it was built for."
