DON’T GET EXCITED
(Alaska Weekly, Seattle.
We have never been accused of
being unduly pessimistic. In fact we
are somewhat given to being just the
reverse. We cannot, however, see any
justification in sound logic for general
excitement and speculation in either
commodities or industrial stocks. In
creased commodity prices without in
creases in wages and vast increases
in the number of employed will only
serve to heighten the misery of the
many and is simply a case of putting
the cart before the horse.
There i sa great deal of talk con
cerning the multiplicity of problems
confronting our government. There
is one problem beside which all others
pale into insignificance. That is the
problem of more jobs, and it is prob
lem enough. Stabilizing the products
of the farm and placing a minimum
figure on thoose products at which
they may be sold doesn’t mean much
if a few million of our people haven’t
the money to buy them at any figure.
Supply jobs for the masses and farm
products will stabilize themselves at
a profitable figure at once—the farm
er will then have money and the fac
tories can begin to operate to supply
the demand of the farmer as well as
the late jobless.
We have read every sort of a high
sounding economic thesis during the
past eighteen months, but have never
yet been able to see how any theory
which did not serve to multiply the
total number of consumer dollars in
circulation was worth a hang. Do
not become excite dover rising stock
and commodity prices. If we get
through May and June without revo
lutionary uprisings it will be because
Federal relief measures have begun
to become operative and to a slight
degree have relieved the tension.
Furthermore, we would advise
against ony great dependence on the
immediate general effect of so-called
inflation. Franklin D. Roosevelt is
not the man to amuse himself tossing
a flock of toy balloons in the air.
Such inflation as there is will be thor
oughly “controlled inflation’ and its
immediate effect on the general pub
lic will be very slight. As credit ex
pansion, carefully handled, begins to
bolster business and industry it will
seep back to the herd in the form of
jobs. Then and only then will it help
, you and me.
[ In the meantime we should hold
1 our heads and pray that during the
intervening three or four months we
are spared serious outbreaks of a peo
ple who are desperate.

DECLARES CORDOVA TIMES
(Cordova Times)
While the Daily Times is highly ap
preciative to those firms who have
maintained their regular advertising
space, regardless at economic condi
tions here during the past year, there
are many other business concerns who
have chosen to let a few progressive
spirited citizens carry on for them
with their home town paper, as *hpj?
do in most civic movements.
It has been said that a newspaper |
reflects a town’s progressiveness, and
so it should. The Daily Timc.s has.at
all times endeavored to do that very
i thing, but, contrary to general belief,
it requires cash to publish a news
paper, and unless all are willing to
share in whatever benefit the Times'
may be to Cordova, it will be neees- j
saiy to turn the key In the door,1
much as we regret adopting thin
this course.
The Times has at all times been a
booster and supporter of all local in
stitutions and has always donated its
space and cash to any worth-while
project. Besides it is a means of sus
taining a payroll of sizeable propor
tions. During the past twelve months
it Has pai dout over $20,000, .a sum
not to be belittled these days. Labor
represents the greatest expenditure
made by the Times and, as our em
ployes are men of families, the -sal
I aries paid the mare practically all
spent locally.
In order to ascertain whether -or
not the business concerns of Cordova
really desire a continuance of its
newspaper, Arthur W. Pinkus will
make a thorough canvass of all non
advertisers, and upon the .amount off
new advertising secured will largely
depend the future issuance of the
Times. Naturally, we would like to
see every line of business lepresenteti
in its columns, regardless of the sue
of the advertisement.
