AIRCRAFT AND PEACE
In view of the forthcoming conference at Geneva
for further disarmament, it is naturally the hope and de
sire of all well disposed people that some measure of suc
cess may attend these efforts.
The disarmament conference called by President Har
ding in 1921, had an excellent moral effect, but it only
made a very imperfect beginning in the direction of per
manent peace, as it did not limit the use of submarines
or other naval vessels except capital ships, neither did it
restrict the size of armies.
In any consideration of disarmament the subject of
aircraft must ultimately hold an important place. Yet
aircraft is an agency of peace as well as war.
Suppose that armies and warships were reduced to
an absolute minimum. Then the nation possessing the
largest number of aircraft would have the advantage in
the event of war, for aircraft built for commercial pur
poses can be used as engines of destruction upon short
notice, by equipping them with machine guns and bombs.
Can the building of aircraft be restricted? With the
present dream of airways encircling the globe, via the
North Pole, with airplanes and dirigibles crossing the
oceans as easily as trains now cross a continent, can the
progress of aviation be halted? Who shall say how many
airplanes the United States may use for transporting
freight and passengers? Who shall set a like limit for
other nations, to which they will agree ?
This is only one of the tremendous problems which the
Geneva conference must face. The most encouraging fact
about the whole situation is that the nations are at last
willing to discuss these problems in a friendly manner, in
an effort to preserve the peace of the world.
Male coal diggers may quit but some female gold dig
gers never do.
Predictions of a cool summer may be expected to de
press the fur market.

colorful romance.” Why don’t they page Mr. Kip Rhine

FALSE PASS ITEMS
(By Special Correspondent)
The residents of Unimak Island are
having, serious trouble with big brown
bears which are very destructive. As
this is a wild game reserve these ani
mals are not allowed to be killed and
are tearing up skiffs and small boats
and robbing trappers’ cabins, break
ing in and stealing their food supply
They also catch a great many salmon
in the streams. The residents are try
j FOUR GREAT HEARS
I COUNT'EM
i Four great fears accompany yon from
■ your home lo your work and remain
J with you throughout the day—
i 1* The fear of your family being
l left unprovided for;
i 2. The fear of a penniless old age
for yourself;
J 3. The fear of loss of income from
i total or partial disablement;
i 4. The fear of losing what you
\ have accumulated.
I Would it be worth anything to you to have these
I fear* eliminated from your life—to know that you
I were shielded by a complete circle of protection?

ing to find some means of relief from
these pests and it is hoped that the
game wardens will do something to
relieve the situation.
The season on foxes just closed and
I t]ie trappers are returning to False
Pass and Ikitan and all report a very
successful season. Most trappers
work in pairs but there are a few of
| them who work alone. Nick Kristen
13eii is reported to have the largest
number of skins among the single
trappers. John Gardner and Peter
latchmeneff, who always trap togeth
er, have made an exceptionally large
catch. The Daily Bros, and Peterson
Bros, report the best season in many
years. The fur prices are about the
same as those received last year.
