In a r«•-'•ni publication is
sued nil I d, ,i r i billed by the
Ai , i. i HU mi hip Corn
pans, i in-: e appeal':, all at'
i ay ( I fact , eons erning the
value of Alaska to the com
mem d and industrial life
of Si attic* with which every
biiMiie man of 1 his com
inunity should be familiar.
We have for many years
been pi caching on t his sub
jeet but were none the less
surpn: . d d this statement,
“It is particularly interest
ing to note that during 1934
.shipments from Seattle to
Alaska were $2,500,000.00
greater in value than Seat
tie’s exports to the rest of
tin' world put together.”
I hat is rather nice bust
ness—involving no fluctua
lions of foreign exchange,
no special export depart
meat, no hazard of Oriental
warfare nor any of the nth
or risks and difficulties of
the foreign export market,
ll is as easy for the Seattle
merchant to make a ship
ment to Alaska as it is for
him to send the same mer
chandise to Port Angeles.
Alaska with its natural re
sources merely scratched,
with less than 115,000 perm
anent population bought
over $.*15,000,000 worth of
commodities last year. No
more important task con
fronts the forward looking
people of this city than the
active encouragement of
the industrial life of Alas
ka. A permanent popula
tion of 100.000 people in A1
aska employed in the devel
opment and exploitation of
the natural wealth of the
territory would moan an
annual sale of $100,000,000
by the merchants and man
ufaeturers of this city to
the empire of the north—
and that would be but a
small start.—Exchange.
MR. SHAW’S STILL
AROUND.
Can it be that the sharp
tongue of George Bernard
Shaw is losing its edge and
mellowing as he approach
es his 80th milestone in
life, Recently in Miami he
is reputed to have said, re
ferring to a tree planted
there as a memorial to him:
"Bv the time a tree would
grow up. the world would
have forgotten who Bern
ard Shaw was.”
But no. We learn from
an interview that the old
master of sarcasm hasn’t
lost his gift. Asked to say
a f w words, the playwri
ght ( lipped back:
“i d m’t sav a few words.
1 start out with .1,000.”
lie the on tin tied to tell
his 'atervi wers, in the fa
mil ■ t’hav:an ty'e: "You
have a good President, but
the bau Constitution is get
ting the best of him. Chuck
it in the ocean. You’re mak
ing it into rags with amend
ments.”
Then he described himself
in this fashion: “I am an
Irishman, a teetotaler, a
fanatic, a humorist, a fluent
liar, a social Democrat, a
lecturer and a debater, a
lover of music, a fierce op
ponent of the present sta
tus of women, and an in
sister on the seriousness of
art.”
The fact is the- venerable
Mr. Shaw is just a shrewd
old man hiding behind his
whiskers the knowledge
that personality and quick
wit gets in the headlines &
keeps G. B. S. before the
world. That lie still has
the undid led wit is seen in
his rejoinder when an inter
national interviewer recent
lv told him: "I have met
nearly all the crowned
heads of Europe, and they
all admire your works.”
Shaw flashed back: “I
am glad to see the level of
royal intelligence is ris
ing.”—Exchange.
