RED CONGRESS TURNS ATTACK ON FASCISM
“My husband will not be happy in the millennium be
cause there will be nothing to fight,” said the wife of a cer
tain reformer. This would apply to the reds, even the most
sincere among them: though all is not red that talks red, for
Nicholas Lenin said in a speech at the first Moscow congress.
“Among 100 so-called Bolshevik there are 39 criminals, 60
fools and one real Bolshevik.” Reports from this year’s
session of that red hot congress at Moscow reveal that the
Communists may give “capitalism" a little rest, as the Fas
cists are furnishing them something to fight. They warn
the comrades everywhere that “the first shots of a new war
may be heard any moment, "fired by Fascist cannon. Ger
many, Japan and Italy seemed to be the chief causes of un
easiness among the members of this congress.—Exchange.
URUGUAY REAPS A FORTUNE OVERNIGHT
Modest Uruguay is now going to make some dough from
the rise in the price of gold. From somewhere they got the
hint that it could be done, and Montevido has resolved to
revalue the gold stock in the Bank of the Republic and issue
new paper money to replace the bills now in circulation in
an amount so increased as to net the government a profit of
forty—eight and a half million pesos. One bets they would
not reverse this wheel of fortune if the world should decree
a corresponding decline in the price of gold. They would
let John Q. Public take the loss.

; fact has been further demonstrated
by the greatly increased speed
of recent construction, due to the
addition to the construction forces,
of two hundred Alaskans, mostly
skilled laborers, recruited from
Anchorage, Seward and Fairbanks.
It is hoped that the- Federal Gov
ernment will profit sufficiently from
i the basic mistake of this its first
Alaska Rural Colonization Project,
i to realize that in the future under
takings of this sort the most import
ant factor is labor. Also that it is
a fallacy to presume that hundreds
of men can be transported thousands
of miles, and at a wage of a dollar
a day and board, be put to work in
a frontier country, under conditions
with which they are totally unfamil
iar, and at a type of work with
which few, if any have had exper
ience. It has been amply demonstrat
ed that when you pay a man a dol
lar a day, the best you can expect
is a dollar’s worth of work, and
sometimes not that. The board
feature is a forgotten entity. These
people say ‘‘What the H-, we
were getting that anyway, on relief
in the States” and there you are.

A Community Center
The Community Center alone is
quite an undertaking, being virtual
ly hewn out of the forest. It requir
ed two month to clear the timber,
brush and stumps from this area,
before building construction could
be started. The Alaska Railroad has
lately finished running a spur from
the main line about five hundred
yards into the Community Center,
along the north limit of this area.

plants will be built along this spur,

be spotted alongside platforms of
