TRADING WITH
(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Feb. 23.—
John I). Caukins, deputy governor of
the Twelfth federal reserve district,
has made public the contents of a let
ter from the federal reserve board.
Id substance it follows:
“As you have already been advised,
there is being sent you a supply of
the federal reserve board's publica
tion containing the executive order of
the President, dated January 26, issued
under the authority of Title 7 of the
Espionage act, and section 5 of the
Trading with the Enemy act, accom
panied by forms which have been ap
proved by the board. This executive
order and accompanying forms relate
to the registration of dealers in foreign
exchange. The board thinks it well,
however, to call your especial atten
tion to the following paragraph:
“ ‘All transactions in foreign ex
change, export or earmarking of gold
or silver coin or bullion or currency,
transfers of credit in any form (other
than credits relating solely to transac
tions to be executed wholly within the
United States) and transfers of evi
dences of indebtedness or of the own
ership of property between the United
States and any foreign country, wheth
er enemy, ally, of enemy, or otherwise,
or between residents of one or more
foreign countries, by any person in
the United States, except any trans
actions or transfers conducted in con
formity herewith are hereby prohibit
| ed.’
“Comparatively little publicity seems
i to #iave been given to this executive
(order and regulations growing out of
it, and it is suggested that you take
such methods as you deem best, for
purpose of calling to the attention of
all those who are likely to be affected
by the order the fact that it has been
k issued. It is very desirable also that
all dealers in foreign exchange should
have their attention particularly di
rected to the following paragraph of
jg yhe regulations: ,
k “ ‘A dealer shall require every cus
| mer purchasing foreign exchange
l ora him or selling foreign exchange
J
to him, to file a statement showing the
purpose of such purchase or sale with
such details as the federal reserve
hoard may require, including, a declar
ation to the effect that no enemy of
the United States has no interest di
rectly or indirectly in such purcnase or
sale. The federal reserve board shall
prescribe the form of such a declara
tion. Copies of such statements shall
be furnished by such dealer upon re
quest to the federal reserve board,
through the several federal reserve
banks.’ *’

Alaska is not being given a fair
chance to develop. By that we do
not refer particularly to the manner
in which the development of the ter
ritory has been rough-locked by the
red tape of scattered bureau adminis
tration. Nor is it our desire to bur
den Washington with our troubles at
a time when the nation is engrossed
with more serious problems. We
merely mention the fact that Alaska
is getting the worst of it by way of
directing attention to the possibilities
of development in this country.
We boast of the fact that in a single
month last year our exports totaled
more than twenty million dollars, and
that the value of our productions since
1867 exceed seven hundred millions.
And yet development honestly may be
said to be standing still. We are not
receiving the benefit from this won
derful production. As Manager Mc
Pherson of the Alaska bureau of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce recently
expressed it, “a country that can pro
duce and ship to the outer world prod
ucts in one month of a value far
greater than all of Seattle’s industries
is capable of a great and prosperous
development and of supporting a large
population.” The rich resources of
Alaska, he points out, are being
“creamed,” while nothing is being done
toward replenishing or assuring a con
tinuation of the rich outflow. The in
tensive development that should be en
couraged and fostered, especially at
this time of great production, is lack
ing, with the result that Alaska is not
building up with the industries and
permanent population essential to the
prosperity and rational development
of the Northland.
One of our troubles is that we do al
together too much exporting of raw
materials. The copper that we mint
in Alaska, for instance, should bt
smelted in Alaska, instead of beint
shipped in a raw state to Tacoma auc
other Outside cities; our white spruce
timber, for which the war has created
a very great demand, should be manu
factured into airplanes right here in
Alaska; there should be wood pulp and
paper mills along the coast of Alaska,
turning the overflow timber of our
forest reservations to good account;
our fishing industry should be wholly
Alaskan, with Alaskan employes and
the Alaska label on every can and
case; and Alaskan furs, of which we
have produced more than seventy-five
million dollars' worth, should be pre
pared for use here m the territory,
with higher prices for trappers and
lower prices for those who buy.
We send altogether too much money
out of the country. We are making
the transportation companies rich and
fostering Outside industries which
should be In Alaska. We must keep
some of this money in the territory.
We must stop the yearly drain, or
Alaska will never be developed.—Ne

BASE AMERICAN FLOTILLA IN
BRITISH WATERS, Jan, 26 (By mail).
—The United States Naval Men's club
house, the shore home o£ the sailors, is
to be enlarged. Vice Adjniral William
S. Sims already has given his approval
to tl*e project which is made neces
sary by the ever-increasing size of the
American force here. The club was
built from funds contributed by gen
erous Americans in London and is the
%ost populhr rendezvous ashore, not
only |br the sailors and' their own of
ficers^, but also for British sailors and1
soldiers and their officers as well.
Vice Admiral Sims is a frequent visit
or and it is not uncommon to see a
British admiral or commodore d-rop in
| watch the sailors at play in the
j “only electrically lighted, steam-heated:
I club in Ireland.”
Nightly shows have just been in
troduced and are a regular thing, with
big shows on Saturday nights. The
nightly affairs usually consist of
movies, always with a comic film but
the week-end entertainment includes
pictures and acts by talent from the
ships and from among the British
movies, aPways with a comic film, but
what a great variety of talent there is
among Americans and British here.
The newest thing is a series of car
toons by sketch artists discovered in
the flotilla. These cartoons on happen
ings In the flotilla or about town are
thrown on the screen and produce loud
guffaws.
One which will be appreciated by
I the folks back home depicted a de
stroyer dropping shells all around the
German submarine U-53 which raided
shipping off Nantucket, at which time
the very same ships and men who are
today chasing U-boats picked up the
crews. In the picture the frightened!
submarine commander is peeping out
of the conning tower. Below are the
words: “Soak him fellows, it’s our old
: friend the U-53.”
j The newest feature of the club is a
i nipped department store or
cnitteexi svhere American sailors arid
officers can purchase a great variety
of necessities and luxuries at reason
able prices. The kitchen, which is in
charge of a chief petty officer from
Newport, R I., who won a reputation
feeding thousands in the American
army, turns out the best food ashore.
The dry provisions come from the
United States, the fresh meats are
bought ashore. War bread has not
yet invaded this kitchen.
To a chaplain who has just arrived
here from Philadelphia to help watch
over the spiritual welfare of the sail
ors has fallen the task of searching
out the best of the ship's talent for
the special entertainments. Thts
“padre,” who came originally from
Schenectady, where he used to be able
to call everybody by their first name,
signalized his arrival among the sail
ors by bursting into poetry with the
following result:
Raise high your glasses—
A health to the navy,
Together we’ll drink ere we leave here
tonight;
The navy forever. In battle victorious,
Strong may her men be, and valiant
in fight!
May God prosper ever
Her highest endeavor,
And make her a bulwark for country
and right!
Drink now to the admiral—
Raise high your glasses—
Ye men of the navy, to him be ye true!
Thankful are we for his wisdom and
courage—
For the things he has done and the
things he will do.
May God give him strength
Till we conquer at length,
For together we fight for the Red,
White and Blue!
And last, let us drink
To our comrades gone from us,
Who have given their lives in the fight
with the foe;
The price they have paid is the price
of our freedom.
A tribute of praise for their service
we owe,
Their warfare is done;
The laurels are won,
Which a nation, to honor their deeds,
will bestow!
The toast was drunk at mess times
during the holiday season, sodawater
being used in conformity with the
rules of our teetotal navy.
