WAGES ON THE PUBLIC PROJECTS
_
While expressing, along with other members of Cong
ress, a favorable view of the President’s message as a whole,
Senator Cutting of New Mexico could see no reason “why
they should set a lower standard of subsistence for those on
public projects than those in private industry.”
That refers to the recommendation that pay of the un
employed to be given work on the public emergency pro
jects “should be larger than the amount now received as a
relief dole,” but “not so large as to encourage the rejection of
opportunities for private employment or the leaving of pri
vate employment to engage in government work.
The principle here surely is obvious, and it is vital.
Such public projects as are proposed would be not only of an
emergency nature, but would be so far as possible non-com
petitive with private industry. Further, if wages in the one
instance were made equal to those in the other, the public
work doubtless would be preferred in many cases, while in
others there would be little or no incentive to leave it even
with the opportunity for private employment. This would
tend to defeat the emergency purpose of the public works
and at the same time to make them competitive in a hurtful
way.
The Administration and the country had an unfortun
ate experience with the CWA last winter, when the wage
scale seriously interfered with private industry in some sec
tions and moderatly in others. The public projects should be
made to bridge the gap between direct relief or the dole and
a real job in private industry. That objective justifies the
principle enunciated by7 the President on the matter of com
pensation.—Kansas City Star
McADOO SPEAKS ON NAVAL LIMITATIONS
The recent statement of a Western Senator, William
Gibbs McAdoo, while traveling abroad, to the effect that he
was pleased that Japan had denounced the Washington Nav
al Treaty of 1923, and that “America should build the strong
est navy possible so as to protect herself lrom all aggression.
If she constructs her Navy without regard to other powers,;
she can carry on her program of development without fear
of complications,” should be heartening to Alaskans and re
sidents of the Pacific Coast in particular.
Rumors are strong of possible warfare in Europe. It
is most doubtful that the United States would be involved
or let itself become involved in any European war. Howev

or, it might be drawn in through the back door of Asia, or
might have to intervene in the Pacific and if so Alaska would
as many military strategists have pointed out, become most,
important.
An adequate number of naval ships, coupled with their J
new invaluable '‘eyes of the fleet”, the flying corps, are most
essential to the protection of the Pacific, of Alaska, and thru
Alaska the entire Pacific seaboard of continental United
States.
Alaska as a whole should support the efforts of Delegate
Anthony J. Dimond and others to obtain navy and army
bases for Alaska. Such bases are not only essential to the
protection of Alaska residents but will be the real front
line of defense for the entire country—Juneau Empire.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
That the two most important things for the success of
a business is to have the right kind of goods and then let
the public know about it in the right way.
The merchandise that sells best throughout the year is
the merchandise that is advertised throughout the year.
Every concern should give their business a chance to
grow. DO IT BY ADVERTISING!
When reason and common sense prevail in business,
progress is assured.
Advertised goods are today in the favor of the consum
er because the consumer has become acquainted with them
through persistent advertising and appreciates their value.
The use of advertised good has caused an appreciation
of their high quality and splendid value.
Buying advertised goods makes shopping mistake
proof.
Advertising helps the people to economize.
Successful business has been based on the rock of high
quality goods and persistent advertising.
The store of advertised goods makes quality its first
and last consideration.
