GOVERNMENT TRAINING
We notice that the University of Washington has ar
ranged a five-year course in training for government service
That should prove a valuable study. Men are going
into government service on a huge scale nowadays. As
matters now stand we often entrust our important financial
business, and maybe our health and our lives, to men who
could not pass a civil service examination for dog catcher.
HOW HITLER'S POLICY MAY AFFECT THE U. S.
Hitler’s recent announcement that Germany will re
arm, contrary to the treaty which ended the World War, un
doubtedly creates a tense situation in Europe which will
have grave repercussions throughout the world.
We do not go into a discussion of the effect in Europe,
where France and Soviet Russia have practically renewed
the alliance which was terminated with the execution of the
czar, but reborn under pressure of the same circumstances
that lead to the former mutually protective agreement. We
are more concerned with effects in the Pacific, where Am
erican interests arise.
Plunging Europe into an armed camp cannot, with jus
tice, be blamed upon the Germany of today, but Russia, fac
ing Japan in the east, is becoming really alarmed at the
growing threat on its western front. As a result, Lenin
grad will tend to “pull in” so far as Siberia is concerned,
lest there be an occasion to fight foes on both fronts at the
same time.
Much the same result will be observed in the case of
Great Britain. Facing the possibility of a new struggle in
Europe the English will not likely push too much for her
“rights” in the far east, lest in some future crisis on the con
tinent the wily Jap take advantage of the diversion to his
own benefit.
If Russia and Great Britain thus temper their far east
ern policy the United States will again be in the front, fac
ing the aggressively growing ambitions of the Japanese.
So long as peace reigns in Europe there may be no outbreak
in the east to involve us but the dogs of war roam in that
war-torn continent and the danger exists that Japan may
take advantage of the situation to carry out her own plans,
which may be so far-reaching as to clash with vital Ameri
can policies.
This, then, is the danger to us that we see in European
affairs. Not that this country, or its people want war with
Japan, or that public opinion here does not prefer reason
able concessions to Japan in the interest of peace in the Pa
cific, but the danger that, with other big nations involved
at home, the Japanese may go so far as to provoke war with
us in the belief that alone we are helpless to oppose her fur
ther advancement toward world goals.—Exchange.

OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND
Delegate from Alaska
(By J. J. ECKLES)
June 8, 1935.
Commencing July first the fre
quency of the mail service from
Valdez to points on the Prince Wil
liam Sound will be increased to
twice a month. This improved ser
vice was deemed advisable by the
Post Office Department in view of
the large number of residents serv
ed by the route and the fact that
the increase in the mining activity
of the district assures even greater
growth of population.
L. J. Mas, of Unga, accompanied
by Mrs. Mas called on the Delegate
June fourth. Mr. and Mrs. Mas have
been teaching school at Unga dur
ing the past year. They are return
ing to the Pacific Coast by the
Southern route and expect to visit
in California for a short time before
continuing on to Seattle where they
will enter the University of Wash
ington for supplementary study.
They expect to return to Unga in
time to resume their school duties
in September.
The bill permitting Duke E.
Stubbs to bring suit in the Court of
Claims for damages suffered when
the boundaries of the McKinley
Park were enlarged to include their
property, passed the House June 4
and is now awaiting the approval
of the President.
The Senate Committee on Indian
Affairs has reported favorably on
the bill authorizing the Tlinget and
Haida Indians of Alaska to bring
suit in the U. S. Court of Claims
on any claim they may have against
the United States.
H. R. 6114, a bill to amend section
128 of the Judicial Code so as to
extend the right of appeal from the
trial court of Alaska in all civil
cases wherein the Constitution or a
statute or treaty of the United Stat
es or any authority exercised there
under is involved; in all other civil
I
cases wherein the value in contro
versy, exclusive of interest and costs
exceeds $1,000; and in all criminal
cases and habeas corpus proceed
ings was enacted into law May 31st
when signed by the President.
The bill authorizing a preliminary
examination of the Tanana River
and Chena Slough with a view to
the control of floods in the vicinity
of Fairbanks passed the House June
third.
_
Delegate Dimond has recommend
ed to the Post Office Department,
the appointment of Carolina A. Jo
hansen for the position of postmast
er at Kenai to succeed Mrs. Sabrovv
ski, who has resigned.
Although the name sounds very
much like some of the alphabetical j
offices of the Government, the Em
ergency Conservation Committee is
an unofficial organization located in |
New York, and actively shoulder
ing the burden of conserving var
ious resources of Nature.
Listed among tire “Twelve Im
mediately Important Problems’ of
the Committee are two items dir
ectly affecting Alaska. One is to
make Admiralty Island a Nalional
park”, to provide an adequate sanct
uary for the Alaska bears.” It ap
pears that previous interests that
have been endeavoring to save the
bears for the hunters will have to
contend with the E. C. C. in its ef
forts to save the bears from the
hunters.
The other project of the Commit
tee is to secure passage of a bill
that is now before Congress to
protect the Bald Eagle. Needless to
say, Delegate Dirnond is opposing
the bill insofar as its enactment
will affect Alaska.
The bill introduced by Delegate
Dirnond to authorize the Secretary
of the Treasury to convey title to
certain land in Nome to the city
of Nome, was favorably reported by
the Senate Committee June 4th. anti
by the House Committee June (ith.
