$44,000,000 A DAY
Here s something which may make one dizzy. In the:
closing months of the world war the United States gov
ernment was expending the colossal figure of $44,000,000
DAILY! It does not seem, in view of this staggering sum,
that in peace time—a time of industrial depression—our j
government at least could forget its present economic
policy of retrenchment.
Th average general cost per day while the United
States was in the war is estimated at about $22,000,000.
Since the war the United States has loaned billions
to foreign countries. Billions are needed by Americans
NOW! So far nothing but talk has resulted.
Instead of first taking care of the welfare of our own
citizens, most of the time of the present congress seems
to be given over to the problems of foreign countries.
In the meantime, breadlines everywhere in America;
8,000,000 Americans out of work; warehouses filled with
food and banks with gold. Of course you have heard all
this before but—
What’s wrong? What’s the matter with the country?
Granted that economic adjustments were a necessity. Is
that a valid reason for our growing ranks of unemployed
and semi-starved hundreds of thousands? We still main
tain newspaperman’s Hcarst’s five billion dollar public
works program is the only logical solution proposed to
date for immediate relief. Beoule want to earn their food,
not pensioned or doles.
WELL, WHY NOT?
Alaskans should continually relate or write to friends!
in the States about the real Alaska; not a land of perpet
ual snow and ice but a hinterland blessed with gorgeous
warm days, where the sunrises and sunsets are unrivaled
in grandeur; a land rich in historical lore; a land one
fifth in area of continental United States, in which but:
approximately 60,000 people dwell.
Tell them, if you will, of the weird stories which j
of times are enacted beneath the Northern Lights, which
sometimes are almost unbelieveable.
If your friends Outside are interested in Alaska, sub
scribe to The Seward Weekly Gateway for them; that will
reflect to them the Alaska we know. *
Tulips can kill disease germs, says a scientist. Some
others declare two lips spread them, so who in the h- is
right?
A New York phycisian has caused quite a lot of wor
ry by declaring that “worry kills only fools.”
PIRTICIPHTINE POWERS i

LONDON, Jan. 18, (/P)—Partici
pating powers agreed to open the
internations 1 debts reparations
conference at Lausanne. Switzer
land, on January 20, it was offi
cially announced.
Selection of Lausanne was die- !
tated by a wish to have the parley
held as near to Geneva as pos- j
sible in order to keep closely in
touch with developments cf other
international events scheduled for j
that city including the League of;
Nations Council which will meet j
January 25, and the world disar-'
mament conference which is to 1
convene February 2.
British newspapers are growing :
more and more bitter in their de
nunciation of the United States for
its refusal to agree to cancellation
of war debts.

PUT! TUFF SILL
WITH I SOLID VOTE
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Jan., 18,
(JP)—The scant Democratic major
ity scored its first victory over the
administration forces on a major
political issue by forcing a party
tariff bill through the House.
It voted 214 to 182 to revamp ad
ministration features of the Haw
ley-Smoot law dealing with the
flexible tariff powers of President
Hoover and went on record as fav
oring an international conference
to revise tariff downward.
The bill now goes to the Senate,
where passage is probable; however,
Congressional administration fol
lowers are convinced that if the
measure is sent to the White House,
it will be vetoed.
Twelve Republicans and one
Farmer-Laborite voted with the
Democrats; not one Democrat vot
ed against the bill.
TROUBLESOME TOOTH j
OK YOUNG NUKA
BIT MINER TO SEMD
The hardships which sometimes,
befall those who are marooned (
from the regular transportation j
and travel lanes is aptly illustrated \
in the case of Roy Russel, cousin
of Tom Babcock, who arrived In
Seward Sunday morning for the
purpose of securing dental atten
tion.
Mr. Russel, for a number of
weeks, was afflicted with a bad
toothache and knew that he would
be unable to reach a dentist for
some time. Knowing this, he sought
to have someone at the Babcock & j
Downey Mine camp pull the troub- j
lesome molar but they all shied i
from the task.
In a last hour effort he asked •
young Wayne Fox, who is with the j
Babcock & Downey outfit at Nuka
Bay, to try to extricate the tooth.
Young Fox steeled himself for the
task and with manly effort sought!
to do the task he was requested to j
perform. However, young Wayne ;
Fox’s dental instruments were lim- i
ited to a pair of pliers and the
tooth broke off during the extrica- I
tion operation.
Russel was then forced to en
dure a few more days of toothache j
and finally the day arrived when ,
they w'ere to make connection with ;
the MS Rolph for Seward. As Sur
prise Bay has been icelocked now
for a number of weeks, it was nec
essary to haul a skiff over the ice
for some distance and later reach
the Rolph.
When the Rolph arrived in Sew
ard it wms not long before Mr. Rus
sel had visited the local dental of
fices and is now ready to go out
to Nuka Bay for another stay.
RESIDENT PRIEST WILL BE
*
For 23 years Rev. J. Allard, O.
M. I., has served the Catholic
Church in the Yukon Territory and
northern British Columbia but dur- !
ing the last few years he has been j
assisting in Alaskan activities.
It is for that purpose Father Al
lard is in Seward at the present
time and he will remain here in
organization work for two or three
weeks more before returning south.
A young Catholic priest will be as
signed to the Seward pastorate in
the very near future.
Father Allard, a member of the
Oblatas of Mary Immaculate branch !
of the church, represented the Yu- ■
kon and British Columbia at the
General Chapter of Religious Con
gregations, to which he belongs, as
sembled at Rome in 1926. The
month spent there was one of the
most learned and happiest of his
life, he said, and the honor and
privilege of being selected and sent
to Europe brought him infinite joy.

GLENDORA, Miss, Jan. 18. (/P)— |
Six new breaks occurred in levees |
of the Tallahatchie River flood;
area and most of the residents of 1
the new stricken area were rescued. '
Further breaks are expected as j
the waters are still at a high level ;
and appear to be rising. At pres- ;
ent, some 3.000 acres of land are j
under water and about 30,000 pea- j
pie are said to have been made
homeless.
An interesting flood area episode
. occurred here when residents dis
| covered a cow with a note tied to
■ her tail. The note told where one
! resident was marooned by the high
i waters and asked for help. The
I man was rescued.
A shortage of boats in the river
area is making rescue work a slow
; process.
