while fighting as an aviator with the
Polish legion. The French govern
ment rewarded his aerial feats by con
ferring upon him the Croix de Guerre

Typical Englishman of Serious Mind
Wants Friendship of United States
By Lynn Harold Hough, President of Northwestern University
The typical Englishman of serious anti informed
mind believes very profoundly in Anglo-American
friendship. Many men, such as Mr. Fisher, the presi
dent of the English, board of education, have been
ready to express their belief that it is the hope of the
world.
There is widespread anxiety about the economic
situation. With a great debt to America and the balance
of trade the wrong way, many Englishmen are very
grave as they speak of the outcome. In England, with
a population of more than 40,000,000, there is the pos
sibility of producing food for something like 13,000,000. The rest of the
food must, in the long run, come from exchange for English products
which other countries desire. And a wrong balance of trade in this situa
tion is a serious matter.
Some men with a dash of adventure in their estimate of the situation
take the view that the dangers are overestimated and that England will
quickly recuperate.
It is probable that a matter about which little has been said will in
fluence the actual outcome. England has had a long and successful experi
ence in international banking, and before even resourceful Americans
learn the psychological trick of it Britain will probably be competing
with America on more even terms. And this is to the advantage of
America.
No business man able to look into the future would want to break
down England’s fundamental economic strength, even if such a thing were
possible.

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACTURED*
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to give
us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay more
for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.
We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and have built up a very
extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States,
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
Bv shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pay you a better
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will
ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
