WAR FINANCING.
Capitalist inefficiency is illustrated i
nowhere more effectively than in the
financing of the European govern-!
ments during the war, declares a
staff writer of the Federated Press.
Take France, he says, as a horrible
example.
France is in the control of one of
the most conservative bourgeois
groups in the world. During the j
war, in order to save themselves, j
they refused to pay any considera-;
ble increase in taxes; instead, they j
issued paper money and bonds. One- i
quarter of the war cost wa^ raised j
by taxation in Great Britain. In
France, only 15.4 percent was se
cured in this manner.
Instead of paying for the war as
they went, through an increase in
taxation, the ruling class of France
decided to pay for it by printing
paper money and by issuing bonds.
The total debt of France, before ,
she entered the war, was $6,500,- j
000,000; on March 31, 1919, it was j
$30,500,000,000. In 1914 the Bank j
of France had 6,000,000,000 francs j
in note circulation; in November, j
1919, the note circulation was 37,
000,000,000. Fourteen percent of
this circulation had behind it a
metal reserve—gold and silver; the
remainder, or 86 percent, was paper.
When the war broke out, the
franc could be bought at the rate
of about five for $1. Today francs
are selling at a little less than nine
- lor 9*1.
The French business classes be-;
lieved that they had discovered a ;
new way to make money—turn on ,
the presses, print bonds; engrave .
paper, and the trick is done. They |
might as well try to make army ,
blankets out of moonbeams. As 1
long as the present system of lin-:
ance is continued, so long will it be j
necessary to put value behind pa-!
per. The attempt of the French j
business classes to'make money out;
of paper is merely another illus
tration of their failure to compre
hend the working of the system that
has made them rich and that is now
busy destroying them.
FARM WAGES HIGH.
Farm wages were the highest in
the history of the United States last
year, the department of agriculture
announces. For labor hired, by the
month with board, the average for
the country as a whole was $39.82;
without board it was $86.29. Har
vest wages per day with board
reached the top figure of $4.48 in
the North Central states west of the
Mississippi river. The lowest farm
wages are in the Sooth Atlantic
states, with the South Central
states next lowest. Monthly wages
with board were highest in the
Western states, including the Moun
tain and Pacific states, where the
average was $62.96, while without
board it was $87.12.
Farming operations Of 1919 pro
duced crops that had a value at the
farm that was 11.8 percent above
1918, and animal products 9.9 per
cent above, but the gain in wages
of farm labor was relatively great
er. Wages by the month with board
increased 14 percent, without board
15.o percent, and day wages in har
vest 18.9 percent.
“These figures indicate," says the
department of agriculture, “that the
farm laborer is still regaining the
ground he lost, relatively, early in
the rapid upward movement of \
prices of farm products after 1915. !
This wage recovery was evident in
1918 as well as in 1919, but full
recovery has not yet been accom
plished. ”
BRAZIL’S NAVY.
Appropriations aggregating ap
proximately $12,786,000 were voted
for the Brazilian navy for 1920 by
the congress which recently adjourn
ed. The present active personnel
of the navy, excluding officers, num
bers approximtely 7,100.
The Brazilian navy consists of 34
vessels, including four battleships,
three cruisers, ten destroyers, one
torpedo boat, three submarines and
one submarine tender. This does
not include the six German de
stroyers which a recent cable dis
patch said had been awarded to
Brazil by the supreme council.
The government proposes to en
large the navy by the addition of
two cruisers of from 4,000 to 5,000
tons, five destroyers of from 1,000
to 1,200 tons, three submarines of
800 tons, six submarines of 250
tons, one mine-laying ship and one
oil-carrying tanker.

WHEN THE ICE GOES OUT
(By Ann Iceworm.i *
R RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR R
The frame is up for burning wood,
Likewise it's bells for cap and hood;
Old Winter's lost his grip for good—
When the ice goes out.
The style abates for “Dan’l Greens”;
The curtain drops on movie screens;
Fruit salad’s served instead of
beans—
When the ice goes out.
Chair-warmers cease to be a pest;
And gossips, too, may take a rest;
A neighbor’s business loses zest—
When the ice goes out—
The phizes which we see each day
Will not afflict in the old way;
Such intimacies seldom pay—
Wr'hen the ice goes out.
Of mitts and pacs we’ve had ous
111!,
Furs, mackinaws—ingrowing bill!
Our underwear has shrunk until—
When the ice goes out.
A just reprieve is now at hand,
It needs not agent or jazz band
To .tell us Summer rules the land—
When the ice goes out.
A New Code.
First Barber: That was a bad cu
you gave that old man while shav
ing him.
Second Barber: Oh, there’s a rea
son for it. I’m courting his maid
and that cut will let her know tha
I can meet her this evening.—Dal

What I Stand For
I am a candidate for National Committeeman of the Republi
can Party to be elected April 27th, and 1 stand for the following
principles:
I am not a politician and never ran for office before. I belong
to no political machine or combine and am under obligations to no
clique or faction.
I am opposed to machine domination in Alaska and if you elect
me I will take my orders from the people and nobody else.
While my home is in Anchorage, where I received the unani
mous indorsement of the Anchorage Republican Club, composed of
over one hundred fifty members, I will work for the entire Terri
tory of Alaska first, last and all the time.
If you elect me I will do my utmost to see that each locality
or division shall name the officers of that locality or division, and l
will fight bitterly the appointment of anyone outside of Alaska
to an Alaska office.
Alaska has been my home for 23 years, winter and summer,
and I feel sure I know what Alaska needs.
The time has come to put an end to outside dictation in our
affairs and I believe what Alaska needs is more firesides and fewer
carpet-baggers.
The only way to rid Alaska of machine politicians is to vote
against them. People of Alaska, I am making this fight for you
and I want your help. You deliver the votes and I will deliver
the goods.

For the infomaition of those de
siring to contribute funds for the
relief of the oldtimer, who has been
permanently crippled as a result of
freezing both feet recently while j
lost on the Yukon flats. The News1
desires it understood that all money
turned in to this office will go to
Allen Crane. The News fund has
nothing to do with the benefit enter
tainment to be given at the Colise
um on Saturday night. The man
agement of the Coliseum will receive
a small percentage of the money
realized from the sale of benefit
tickets, but they do not expect nor
do they want any part of any money
otherwise contributed to the Crane
fund. And they have asked The
News to make it plain that those
who cannot attend the benefit show
can make their donations direct to
the Crane fund instead of purchas
ing benefit tickets.
