SUFFERING TERRITORIES
It seems as if Hawaii suffers from the same complaint
as Alaska. Rilev Ellen, editor of the Honolulu Star-Bulle
tin, told Miller Freeman of Seattle recently that when Sen
ator Thomas of Oklahoma was urging a silver rider to the
work-relief bill he called attention to money in circulation
outside the treasury and asked, “Where is that money ? Ac
cording to the best estimates $500,000,000 is abroad. That
means in Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, the Philippines.
Cuba and other nations of the world.’’
Editor Allen doesn’t like to have Hawaii classed with
foreign nations. Neither does anyone in Alaska like to
have the Territory so classed. But it is a fact—confined not
alone to the United States Senate—that wide misunderstand
ing of these two territories still exists.
Both Alaska and Hawaii are territories, the only two of
their kind under the American flag, but they are essentially
parts of the United States.
In his talk with Mr. Freeman, the Honolulu editor said
that Hawaii and Alaska have much in common. “Each of
us is a territory far from the seat of federal government.
Each of us suffers from a vast ignorance on the part of many
law-makers concerning the real facts, circumstances and
conditions of our territory and its people.”
He suggests that the situation “can be greatly improved
by the realization on the part of the western states that
1 Iavvaii and Alaska are not only an integral part of the Unit
ed States but very real assets to the United States and the
Western slope.”
In recognizing this suggestion, the Portland Journal
points out that “Alaska has already repaid the United States
many times its original small cost. It is still a treasure
house barely unlocked. Hawaii is more than a trade asset.
It is more than a rich possession. It is a note of loveliness
and song amid the austerities of America.”
We in Alaska, like those of Hawaii, have been irritated
often by the lack of understanding of our status as a part of
the United States. We have cried for more favorable pub
licity, and had it. Only this spring there have been intelli
gent articles about Alaska in such well-known magazines as
Fortune and Esquire. Every year we have thousands of
visitors from the States. Schools everywhere try to pound
some sense of geography into students, but without much
success as far as teaching something of Alaska is concerned.
Still, we might live and hope, conscious at least that
Seattle scrambles for Alaska trade with some idea of what
it’s all about.—Ketchikan Chronicle.
The real great problem confronting the Administration
is preventing the radio crooners overcrowding the hog
calling profession.

The missionary is Homer Gun
zel of Wausau, Wisconsin, who be
lieves that the way to win the Mon
gols from lamaism to Christianity
is first to gain the confidence of the
Mongols by living with them and
adopting their manner of existence.
He faces the prospect of spend
ing the bitterly cold months of the
Mongolian winter “under canvas”
with none for company but men of
strange race and religion.
Throughout the winter he expects
to see no other foreigner, for the
nearest lives 100 miles away at
Kweihua, the frontier Chinese city
in Suiyuan province.
Pailingmaio is a collection of low,
white-walled temple buildings sur
rounded by a cluster of the felt
tents or “yurts" used by Mongols.
It is one of the few places on the
Mongoian plain where buildings are
to be found. On all sides stretches
the rolling, untilled grassland.
Gunze came to Pailingmaio at the
invitation of Prince Teh, dominant
figure in the new government, at
whose palace in eastern Mongolia the
American spent a year to learn the
Mongolian language.
