spector for Alaska, arriving
here by airplane from a tour
of inspection of airfields in
the Kuskokwim area, announ
ced he had closed the Bethel

ed aviation program of Alas
ka building, a new landing
field immediately back of the
town, the work for which can
be done next spring.
He also issued an order pro
hibiting planes from flying
low over any Alaska towns
except in an emergency, or
due to thick weather.
Planes have been flying
low over towns to let the pop

but Brewster said they have
been flying too low for safety.
He also ordered that planes
taking off from the long run
way here make a right hand
turn when eastbound, and a
left-hand turn when west
bound.
The Inspector will be here
for a few days and then fly to
Juneau and return to Anch
orage. Mrs. Brewster is now

and fifteen million dollars
worth for the year which end

It is estimated this country’s
tariff reductions will affect

_
The Irish are said to re
lish a good light. If that state
ment is intended to be derog
atory, it is unjust. Right
down in the bottom of its1
heart, the whole world is in
terested in a row, as is evi
denced by the fact that the
papers are full of war news,
the papers being experts in
giving the public what it
wants. It is natural enough
that Italy and Ethiopia should
claim the headlines. The Ducc
says that it is monstrous that
his country should be refus
ed a morsel of land under the
African sun.
for tne sake 01 argument
it may be admitted that an
Italian morsel in Ethiopia, or
even an Italian Ethiopia in
entirety, would work no
great international hardship.
There remains still the chip
on the shoulder instinct,
which, in some degree, is as
deeply implanted in human
nature as the desire to eat.
Mr. Mussolini knows men and
he knows nations. If, with a
garlic patch as the possible
reward he sees fit to disre
gard the ubiquitous charact
eristic called pugnacity, of
which even the sparrow has
a share, he will have some
difficulty in clearing his toga
of the smirch of responsibil
ity in the event of another
world war growing out of the
African situation.
A Spaniard turns his pro
perty into paper money, sum

sets a match to the pile, stat

by the sweat of his brow.
The procedure was not new.
According to a German song,
a king sick unto death spread
a banquet on a cliff, and at
the conclusion of the festivi
ties threw his treasures in
to the sea below. The plan
must at least have passed
through the mind of the poet,
or he would not have written
the poem. Such conduct may
be condemned as narrow
minded in peasant or in prin
ce, yet each may be commend
ed, in that perhaps he saved
the community from having
to witness the revolting in
cidents that generally attend
a will contest.
