the higher pr.ces.
Fox . he e eiu at of those who may |
possibly not see it otherwise, that j
part of the President’s order relating'!
to newly mined goiu is printed here:
“By virtue of the authority vested
in me by Section 5B of the Act of
i 'Oct. 6, 1917, as amended by Section 2
of the Act of March 9, 1933, entitled
‘An Act to provide relief in the exist
ing national emergency in banking
anu for other purposes,’ I, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Pres.dent of the United
States of America, do declare that a
period of national emergency exists,
. and by virtue of said authority vested
in me, do ‘hereby issue the following!
executive order:
“ri he Secretary of the Treasury is |
-hereby authorized to receive on con-1
signment for sale, subject to such
ruies and regulations and upon such.
< .conditions as he shall prescribe, gold
recovered from natural deposits in ,
the United States or any place sub-j
ject to the jurisdiction thereof. ..Sales
may be made:
“(a) To personsl icensed to acquire
gold for use in the arts .industries or
professions, or
“(b) By export to foreign pur
- chasers.
“Such sales shall he made at a
price which the Secretary shall deter
mine to be equal to the best price ob
. tamable in the free gold markets of
the world after taking into considera
. tion any incidental expenses such as j
shipping costs and insurance.
“Such sales shall be made through
„ the federal Reserve banks or any
otheer agents as the Secretary may
from time to time designate and shall
be subject to such charges as the Sec
retary may froom time to time in his
judgment determine.
“Every person depositing gold for
... sale as provided herein shall be deem
. ed to have agreed to accept as con
. elusive without any right of recourse
or review, the determination of the
.. Secretary or his duly authorized
agent as to the amount due such , per
son.as a result of any sale.
‘‘Consignments shall be sold as
nearly as may be in the order of their
receipt.
“The Secretary of the Treasury, in
. his discretion end subject to such reg
ulations as he may prescribe, is here
by authorised to issue licenses permit
ting the export of articles fabricated
fro mgold pursuant, to this executive
- order.
‘ “This executive order mpy. be mod
ified or revoked at any time.”
As .yet the regulations which will
* carry -this part of the order into ef
fect have not been issued by the Trea
sury Department. Delegate Dimond
has been informed that their publica
-.1. tion mgy be expected shortly. Not
>■ until then .will it be known whether
gold mined during the current season
but prior to the issuance of the order
v can . be xepected.
A definite ruling as to whether
Vi the National Industrial Recovery Act
applies to Alaska has been asked of
* General Hugh S. Johnson, NRA Ad
- ministrator, by Delegate Dimond.
The assumption all along has been,
of course, that the Act does so apply.
However, publication of press dis
patches from Honolulu indicating
there was at least a belief there that
NRA was not extended to Hawaii led
the Delegate to take up the matter j
officia. gave it as his opinion that the
with the chief counsel of .NRA. That
Territories of Alaska and Hawaii
come within the jurisdiction of the
Act, but so that there would be no
doubt whatsoever Delegate Dimond
s going direct to General Johnson for
a ruling.
Time, the news magazine, in the
.ssue of September 4, devotes over a
column to the meteoric rise in public
life of Emil Hurja, right-hand man of
Postmaster General Farley, narrat
ing, among other things, the start of
hik career in Alaska.
Opposite Grand Central Terminal
in New York on 42nd street in New
York iiCity, one of that busy town’s
bcsiest thoroughfares, is the ticket
office of Pan American Airways.
For the past week an Alaska ex
hibit in the window of the office has
attracted continual crowds, so much
so in fact that the policeman on the
beat has had a real traffic problem on
his hands. The exhibit is to be kept
on display for anooher week.
Now in the ticket office an .tempo
rary consignment is Don M. Parker,
I Jr., who until June was in the traffic
department of Pacific .Alaska Airways
at Fairbanks. Another AJaskan by
adoption in New York is Lowell W.
Lee, also formerly with Pacific
Alaska.
At Pan American offices the state
Jerry Jones were expected booh en
route to Miami, Florida, from where
they will ferry fast Fleetster panes
to Fairbanks, where they will be
I placed in the service of the Alaska
company. It is .probable that Joe Bar
rows, operating manager of Pacifie
International Airways until that firm
was taken over by Pacific.Alaska, will
fly" one of the three Fleetsters north.
“Sourdough Gold,” a new book; by
Mary Lee Davis, is to be published to
day, said a letter reoeived by Delegate
Diroond from tth author. The book
has for its subject the early rash days
and is based upon a journal kept by
a physician in 1898 and 1899.
This is the fourth Alaska' book by
Mrs. Davis. She1 lived several years

John A. Davis, was in Charge of the

Mrs. Davis has been in Massachusetts
during the summer, but will return to
Washington this month.
