Young Men Have
Ruled the World
At fifteen, Alexander Hamilton com
manded the attention of his country.
At nineteen, George Washington was
a Major. At twenty-tour, Bismarck was
Captain of King’s Cavalry. At twenty
six, Mark Antony was the hero of Rome.
At twenty-eight, Napoleon had revolu
tionized Europe.
So throughout history “young blood” has
ruled, just as young hands have caught
and are holding the style reins of the
world today.
And the young man’s creed is expression
instead of repression, and our creed is to
give him clothes that express his buoy-,
ancy and confidence. 11

BOARD DIPS INTO
DISPUTE ON KISH
WASHINGTON. D. C.. March 26.
The shipping board took a hand today
in the federal government’s fight to
protect Alaskan fisheries against Can
adas orders in council giving prefer
ential treatment to British Columbia
interests. In an order forbidding
transfer of the American gas boat
Venture to Canadian registry the
board declared that while the Cana
dian regulations apparently offer
tempting inducements for such trans
fers, they do not in reality give Amer
ican citizens an opportunity for free
competition in the fisheries trade, but
rather subject consumers of fish brot
into American territory thru Cana
dian ports to the possibility of mo
nopolistic price manipulation.”
Officials believe the effect of the
order in council, if not offset, would
be to bring the Alaska fishing fleet
operating off Ketchikan under Cana
dian registry and its product into the
Canadian port of Prince Rupert. Rep
resentations made thru the British
embassy have failed to secure a mod
ideation and retaliatory legislation
framed by the commerce department
failed with the adjournment of con
gress.
