OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND
Delegate from Alaska
(Special Correspondence')
Washington, D. C., Nov. 13.
With the second session of Con
gress convening on November 15,
Delegate Dimond has for several
weeks been busily engaged in
getting pending legislation for Al
aska and residents of Alaska in
.shape to receive early attention
of Congress. Following adjourn
ment of the first session on Aug.
21st, the Delegate delayed his re
turn to the Territory to give his
personal attention towards hav
ing action expedited on a number
of Alaska matters which were
under consideration in the Fed
eral departments. Finally, when
things wer. in order to make defi
nite plans for his return to Alas
ka, the President called the Con
gress to convene in November
which made it practically impos
sible to leave and get back to
Washington in the limited time
remaining. In speaking of his
disappointment in not finding it
possible to return to Alaska. Mr.
Dimond said, that it was a matter
in which he could not consider
his personal wishes as it was ob
vious that he could do more for
the Territory by remaining in
Washington than by going home.
Gold—A Bargain At 835.00
During the past year much con
cern has been felt in some quart
ers over the price of gold as set
by th ? Administration. Last
spring sufficient credence was
given to rumors that the Govern
ment would reduce the price of
the precious metal from $35 to
$30 per ounce, or even less, that
breaks resulted in market prices
of grain and securities. Appre
hension was chiefly due to the
knowledge that gold was being
sold to the United States in con
stantly increasing quantities by
many foreign countries and it
was thought that the Government
might act to prevent this inflow
by reducing the price paid for
gold. Because of the definitely
unfavorable effect any reduction
in price would have, not only on
the mining industry in Alaska,
but on general economic condi
tions in the Territory, Delegate
Dimoncl at that time made in
quiry of the Treasury Depart
ment as to the policy that might
be expected, but officials in the
Department declined to make any
statement on the subject. In out
lining his views on the matter to
a representative of the Associated
Press, the Delegate said that re
duction in the price of gold would
be contrary to the policy of the
Administration from 1933 todate,
which had been one of “reflation"
to bring the country out of condi
tions existing on March 4, 1933.
and that he did not believe the
Administration contemplates any
such change in policy.
However, the flow of gold con
tinued to come to this country
until the United States finally had
more than half of the known sup
ply of the world tucked away in
its vaults and many were still at
a loss as to what we could do
with it all, and particularly as to
what would be done to stop the
constantly increasing unfavorable
balance of gold that was accru
ing.
At last the tide appears, to have
turned, for Europe, apprehensive
over the prospects of war.is again
buying gold. On November 9th
a shipment worth $10,250,000 was
load d on the S. S. Normandie
for France, and the next day,

In any event what is likely to

much to relieve fears of an un
