mi,' n of our fellow citizens who!
aie sdll jobless looms as the biggest j
of the problems facing the Federal,
ex-'V' nment, states, citie.- and neigh-!
bprh'iods. At . a. meeting of 500!
charity leaders of the nation he-ld ini
Washington, D.C., recently, high ad-1
min aeration officials warned thej
conf erees that, mom of the burden j
wouid have to be absorbed by the!
home town At the same time Pres-I
ident Roost \ Jt told, the gathering,)
“I have always felt that some of j
the hings which have been looked j
upo: as ehajtr in the past would,
beecme part of th^ government pro-!
gram of any civilized nation in the •
course of time. Old age must be'
secure. The manner in which you;
arrange for this security is a matter!
of discussion, but the fact that it1
must be secure has long passed the i
bounds of discussion. First and!
foremost and above everything cist,
1 tople must be able to earn a living.’1 |
Hary Hopkins, ► F.'E.R.A. adminis- ;
trator, is strongly in favor of the
self-help method of caring for the!
unemployed which, in brief, means j
the establishment of government;
owned factories in which those now'
unemployed will find ..employment ' »
the manufacture of goods to be con
sumed by those on relief. The eco
nomic and political wisdom of the
pan is certainly open to argueuient.
If the hides from the callte slaught- j
trod by the government in the j
o: ought ridden areas are turned into
shoes in government owned factories ;
and these shoes distributed to the
vast army of unemployed it certain!: !
follows that the shoe factories pri-:
vately owned will sell several million ,
less pairs of shoes and consequently
create a fresh group of unemployed
from the ranks of their present
workers. Like so many of these
problems this one goes around in a!
vicious circle in which we get about
•.s far as a pup chasing hi^ tail. We
■do not like, the idea of the govern
ment entering the* field of manufact-.
uring in competition with private
capital. Neither do we like the idea
of the spectacle of millions of our
brother citizens accepting charity in
idleness anti gradually losing the
spirit and morale which has made
this nation gj’eat. Here is a prob

FLAT. ALASKA
G JLD AND KlCOVLRY
Alaska, said an experienced min
ing' man recently. is a mineralized
area potentially the greatest known,
and ic ha- scarcely been scratched.
It is true that the interest in in
creasing amounts is now being dir
ected toward this territory but the
United S.ates might well take a leal
from the page of Canada, which has
now jumped ahead of this country
as a gold producer.
An accompanying article tells how
an army of 18,000 prospectors i> aid
ing Canada in her struggle for eco
nomic recovery. Why not a si mi
liar legion for Alaska We can
think of no better way that me
government could expend a portion
or us leuef money tiian in backing
« selected group of prospectors an i
uniicir. ine field is here and, thus
escaping the possibility that inconi i
ing prospectors might become a bur-!
den upon the territory, results
would be inevitable.
Alaska at this time is wide open
ior dcvelopement in all fields, anu
a stuuiea plans which included, be
sides placing farmers in the fertile
valleys, putt.ng prospectors into the
hills and on creeks, would awaken
Alaska from her long doze of slow
progress to an era of alertness and
super-value to the United States. A i
ical opening of this great frontier
would be no small step along the
road to economic recovery. If one
doubts it, let him look back into his
early American history. Alaska

Thy gifts of gold I never craved—
'ross them to i.. sc- who do;
Thy glorious self holds :ne t ns laved
I am th lover true.
I’ve roamed thj mountains, hills
and dales,
Watched thy Auroas flash;
I‘ve faced thy howling shrieking
gales—
I’ve heard thy Glaciers crash.
Today I’m old—and gade on thee
With dimmer eyes and faded locks;
But, Oh, thy grandeur luring me
Still makes me long to scale thy
rock.-.

The hand ot Time means naught to
