PINCH OF HIGH PRICES.
The News is beginning to feel
the pinch of high prices. The new
paper stock, which arrived on a
recent boat, and on which The
News is now being printed, cost
eleven and a quarter cents a pound
in Seattle, which is considerably
over two hundred percent more than
the old paper cost. And to this
must be added a substantial advance '
in freightage charges.
Increasing newspaper costs in oth- ;
er sections of Alaska have been par- ■
tially or wholly met by increased ;
subscription or advertising rates, or •
both; but The News has no inten-!
tion at this time of resorting to
either expedient as a means of in-1
creasing revenues sufficiently to meet
increased cost of production. An
effort will be made to increase the
circulation of the paper instead of
increasing prices—a move that could
not be made before because of the
very limited amount of paper avail
able before the new supply arrived.
The News already enjoys a ver^
healthy circulation, considering the
limitations of the local field, but
there is always room for improve
ment, in any field; and The News
is hopeful of being able to add suf
ficient names to its circulation books
to make possible a continuance of j
the present excellent news service
without adding to the burden of
those whose liberal support makes t
possible for the paper to exist.
OVERBALANCED.
The scandal that the New York i
Post has stirred up on the vocation-!
al trainin'? commission at Washing-!
ton looks bad from this distance,
says the Leavenworth Sun. There!
are nearly 10,000 or moTe employes!
in the office than there have been1
wounded members of the A. E. F.
placed in training for their life’s
work. Right here in Leavenworth
we have an example in the treat
ment of our own Joe Roe, who lost
a leg in the Chauteau-Thierry drive.
Mr. Roe was offered training for
a farm agent job, when he wanted
a motor mechanic’s training to ena
ble him to successfully operate trac
tors and motor engines and repair
them. Whatever the outcome of
the investigation, which should be
started at once, Leavenworth people
feel uneasy at the present time.
PEACE CONFERENCE.
Dr. E. J. Dillon, the English jour
nalist and author, concludes his very
celebrated work on “The Inside His
tory of the Peace Conference” in
the following words: “Whatever
the tests one applies to the work of
the conference—ethical, social, or
political—they reveal it as a factor
eminently calculated to sap high in
terests, to weaken thhe moral nerve
of the present generation, to fan
the flames of national and racial
hatred, to dig an abyss between the
classes and the masses, and to
throw open the sluice-gates to the
inrush of anarchist internationali
ties. Truth, justice, equity and lib
erty have been twisted and pressed
into the service of economico-politi
cal boards. In the United States,
(the people who prided themselves
^on their aloofness are already fight
ing over European interests. In
Europe even.- nation's hand is raised
.against its neighbors, and every peo
ple’s hand against its ruling class.
Every government is making its pol
icy subservient to the needs of the
future war which is universally look
ed upon as an unavoidable outcome
of the Versailles peace. Imperial-I
ism and militarism are striking roots 1
in soil where they were hitherto un-;
known. In a word, Prussihnism. in-;
stead of being destroyed, has been j
openly adopted by its ostensible ene- ;
mies. and the huge sacrifices offered 1
up by the heroic armies of the !
foremost nations are being misused j
to give one-half of the world just j
cause to rise up against the other,
SUPPORTING HUSBANDS.
Astonishment, says the editor of j
the Cincinnati Enquirer, is being I
displayed because of a discovery of
a provision in the Bolshevik laws
of Russia which requires wives to
support husbands who are incapable
of taking care of themselves. The i
intellectual enemies of the existing
social order point to this statute as |
demonstrating the excellence of so-1
viet government, while the unin- i
formed regard it as additional proof !
of the unbalanced minds of the cor.- j
trollers of Russian affairs. In Ohio, 1
though, there has been upon the
statute books for decades and longer j
a requirement for wives to support
their indigent or incapacitated hus-!
bands. It was enacted after a heart- j
less woman took possession of her
stricken partner’s effects and per- ;
mitted him to be sent to the poor
farm. More than that, a husband
in Ohio seeking divorce may sue for j
and collect alimony from his wife. !
This law was also brought into ex
istence by a hard-hearted wife’s per
formance of securing the family
homestead, marrying the man who
caused the divorce and ejecting
from the dwelling her former spouse,
who had paid for it out of his earn
ings as a mechanic. Parlor Bol
sheviks who will have no govern
mental reforms unless they are im
ported from revolutionary countries,
and the uninformed reactionaries
who fear changes because of their
.mental bourbonism, are invited to
| turn their attention to an American
! commonwealth where laws keep pace
i with the development of society’s
i growing demands and where vote
less women have the same rights
|and responsibilities as the enfran
chised men.

FRANCE 10 GIVE
PARIS. — France, whose strong
war aerial force, in men and ma
terials, has been allowed to disin
tegrate, is determined to win a big
place in commercial aviation, P. E.
Flandrin, aviation under-secretary,
told the chamber of deputies when
it voted 300,000,000 francs for civil
land military air sen-ice.
; The development of the all-metal
airplanes, he suggested, is one of
the most important things being
i sought, and he said German at
tempts along this line “seem to me
more dangerous than any clandes
'tine deposits of war materials.”
M. Flandrin told of typical flights
in other nations, such as the N'ew
York to San Francisco race anil
;the American postal routes, and
then reported that the Paris-London
airplanes covered 120,000 miles,
carying 803 passengers on 513
flights, during the period from last
September 1 to March 1. when win
ter atmospheric conditions were bad.
On only seven percent of the trips
was there more than an hour's de
lay, and only one accident, in which j
an American passenger was killed. j
The progress of aviation during j
the war, M. Flandrin said, raised
airplane flight speed from 78 to 148:
miles an hour; lowered the time for
reaching altitudes by four-fifths; in
creased the power limit from 100 j
to 1,000 horsepower; multiplied the j
carrying power by more than six, :
and quadrupled the flight range.
“Maintenance of way” of the !
London-Paris airline, he said, com
prising hangars, landing stations, i
meteorological stations, etc., cost \
33,000 france a mile, but can be
cut in half as a result of the ex- i
perience gained.
STOPS BIG STEAL
BUDAPEST.—U. Grant-Smith, the
American high commissioner in
Budapest, has succeeded in saving i
about 50,000,000 crowns to Ameri
cans who recently opened accounts
for trading purposes.
The Hungarian government issued
in March a decree requiring the
stamping of notes of the Austro
Hungarian bank circulating in Hun
gary, to relieve its financial em
barrassment, and ordered one-half
of the money presented for stamp
ing to be withheld and converted
into a compulsory state loan. Some
of the bankers saw a good oppor
tunity to load their inevitable losses
on the shoulders of their American
clients.
Although the Americans had only
current or drawing accounts, some
; of the bankers of Budapest attempt
led to treat them as actual money
deposits, pass off their ready money
!as the American deposits, get it
stamped, and write a letter to their
| clients stating that henceforth they
[could dispose of only one-half of
itheir deposit. As for the other
I half, the depositors were in several
leases notified that they had partici
pated in a compulsory Hungarian
Estate loan, the bonds of which were
! non-transferable and non-negotiable,
but valid for the payment of taxes.
i The scheme was frustrated by
j-the intervention of Mr. Grant
'Smith, who made representations to
| the Hungarian government that no
money transaction of the govern
ment could involve financial losses
| to citizens of the United States.
! As the rightfulness of this principle
'was acknowledged by the Hungarian
[government, the bankers were out
witted. This incident, as Mr. Grant
Smith remarked, answers the ques
tion: “Does efficient diplomatic serv
ice pay?”
