ROAD MONEY
. . and $466,000 for roads in Alaska.”
Thus ended an item explaining an illustrated article the
other day which carefully told how the various elements of
$1,000,000,000 in relief work were to be distributed.
Just what infinitesimal part of a billion $466,000 is, we
have not bothered to calculate. That does not matter. What
does matter is that the news article was extremely mislead
ing. Alaskans are not ungrateful wretches, nor does the
Times wish to influence them to be, but it does believe that
people should realize that there were not only strings tied
to that $466,000 but that it was actually bound fast and hard
to one very small section of Alaska and that hundreds of
miles of other highways of the Territory will not see a snitch
of that money.
The news item should have explained that $139,500 of
the amount would be used for building a road through Mata
nuska Valley; and it should have explained also that $326,
500 of the amount would be used for building a road from
Anchorage to Matanuska. I
We don’t begrudge the Matanuskans the money. On
the contrary, we believe that since the colonization experi
ment has gone as far as it has it should be given every en
couragement both morally and financially to see it to its end.
Our only hope is that bigwigs at Washington when the
time comes for another billion or so to be devided, won’t do
as the newspaper writer did—call the allotment “$446,000
for roads in Alaska,” figure that is enough money for one
far-off Territory and let it go at that.—Cordova Daily Times.

SOVIET MOVES ALONG
The world has been somewhat amazed lately to hear
that Soviet Russia haas 3,000 fighting airplanes and the
same number of tanks for the Red army.
The cold fact is that the Bolsheviks, so-called, have con
centrated their attention and manpower upon the task of
self-preservation, because it was necessary if tthe govern
ment was to su?vive. *"
With due regard to the abhorence of the world at some
of the reported brutalities with which the Soviet has eradi
cated internal enemies the test of the government in Russia
is simple. Does it give the average Russian citizen a better
opportunity for an improved existence ? If it does, Soviet
Russia is destined to be a mighty power in the world and
there is no way to rub out that fact.—Exchange.

BALDWIN S AMAZING SPEECH
Stanley Baldwin, who recently became premier of
Great Britain, says that close collaboration between the
British Empire and the United States would be the “great
est security against war” because “the combined power of
their navies, the potential manpower and the immediate
economic power—by refusal to trade or lend money—would
be a sanction that no power on earth, however strong, would
dare face.”
Mr. Baldwin admitted that he was dreaming, that his
dream might never come to pass but that “some day and
sometime those who follow us may see to it that the peacej
of the world is guaranteed by those who speak our tongue.”
There is a lot of food for thought in his words. While
the proposal of an alliance is not outright the idea is there.1
This country would not enter any such an affair to cover the
entire world at this time but why should not the two nations
try to get together on the problems of the Pacific ?
Japan is generally regarded as a threat to peace in the
Far East and as a challenger to the rights of the rest of the
world in that area. If the United States and Great Britain
formulated and publicly announced principles that they
stood ready to defend in the Far East it is very probable that
peace in that section of the world would be assured for years
to come. Even Japan could not hope to successfully polish
off the combination.—Exchange.
A New Invention
Developed to Mine
Gold Dry Method
For weeks now it has been whis
pered that A. O. Smith Corp., the
big Milwaukee automobile frame
manufacturer, had a ‘'mysterious in
vention” which, when revealed,
would prove a sensation. Know
ledge of this development has been
more of a factor than heavy manu
facturing operations in driving the
stock up this year from around 29
to as high as 72.
The “mystery” is now definitely
understood to be a process for min
ing gold by the dry method. To
mine gold where water is plentiful
—everyone is familiar with the pan
ning process—is no stunt, but to
mine gold in dry desert areas has
dlways been regarded as an impos
sibility.
Management and directors of the
Milwaukee enterprise, the stock of
which was one of the “blue chips”
of 1929—selling above 250, have
kept the new process, on which ac
tive developments have been taking
place for over two years, a well
guarded secret. But the story is
gradually beginning to leak out. It
would be no surprise, now that sue
cess is in sight, if more were heard
about it before long.
The company is understood to
have perfected a gold-mining mach
ine, the first or pilot unit of which
has functioned successfully. It has
proved that gold can be profitably
extracted in dry areas where the
moisture does not exceed 4 to 5%,
which have heretofore remained un
touched. In the preparation for the
exploitation of its new mechanical
wizardy, the Smith Corp. has actu
ally bought in considerable areas of
low-grade gold content.
As the individual machines in
volve small outlay, between $50,000
and $75,000 for each machine, A. O.
Smith is in position to develop the
process itself. Mining interests,
however, are hot on the trail to pro
mote financing which would permit
of quick, world-wide operations.—
