KANSAS CITY, June 27, —City
Attorney McCain of Ketchikan said
“personally I think the Matanuska
projects are bound up in too much

that would result. It’s a great coun

WASHINGTON
CURRENT
COMMENT
Two employees of the Internal Re
venue Deparment have been dis
charged, and it is said that they will
be turned over to the courts, on ac
count of alleged irregularities in
handling the tax affairs. The matter
is referred to in this column lest
some may be inclined to draw from
it the erroneous conclusion that pu
blic servants are fundamentally
crooked whereas they are funda
mentally straight. Both within the
government and without, the patient
and honest move quietly on to an
unnoted end, earning little acknow
ledged credit for themselves and no
more for the system of which they
are a part. It is only when things
are believed to have gone wrong
that the spot light is turned on. If
the noble army of the honest got
their deserts, the papers would have
room for little else. So far as abil
ity is concerned, jobs now and then
go to the wrong man. Viewed from
the standpoint of morality and up
rightness, the average citizen is well
qualified for the place which his
superior or his voting neighbors
may pick for him.
Japan is dissatisfied with her nav
al status under existing treaties,
and in the course of the discussion,
the exclusion of the Japanese from
this country is referred to. It is to
be suspected that there is the real
thorn in the flesh. More than one ,
international discord (why limit
discord to the international variety
by the way) has arisen out of
something no larger than the point
of a thorn. Diplomacy both public
and private, has in it a great deal
of concealment and dissimulation.
When the process of beating around
the bush is thrown to the winds, a
long step toward ironing out any
disagreement has been taken. If
the real thorn is brought to light,

LUMBER MEN OREGON
OBJECT APPOINTMENT
OE MEDIATION BOARD
Seven Lumber Operators Object Appoint
ment Because Allege Department Is
Not Fair. Want To Be Left Alone
(By The Associated Press')
PORTLAND, Oregon, June 27—The action of President
Roosevelt and Secretary of Labor Perkins in naming the Pa
cific Northwest Lumber Strike Mediation Board, was pro
tested by seven Portland lumber operators.
The Labor Department “is biased in its handling of la
bor matters,’’ said F. H. Ransom, President of the Eastern
and Western Lumber Company.
Walter B. Nettleton, President of the West Coast Lum
bermen’s Association was contacted in Seattle, when it was
learned he had written the National Lumber Manufacturers
Association protesting the appointment of the arbitration
board. He declined to make the letter public.
F. H. Ransom said that the present trouble in the lum
ber industry was prompted by outside interests and that
lumber men and their employees could adjust differences if
left alone, as, he said, they always had in the past.

deep sea ships under police eyes,
while strikers maintained peaceful
picketing along the water front.
