TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT
The Matanuska experiment is drawing more and more
comment. It has stirred debate on the august floor of the
United States senate. It has caused at least one newspaper
man returning from Alaska to cry that the Matanuska soil
is poor and that the colonists all will want to return to the
states in a year. It has caused newspapers—republican,
democratic and independent—to take editorial stands for or
against the experiment. It has caused reporters every
where to ask old Alaskans their opinion of Matanuska. It
caused Kansas City newspapermen to ask Harry G. McCain
and J. F. Van Gilder their opinion of Matanuska, not their
opinion of the public utility deal in Ketchikan with which
they were infinitely more familiar.
With all this publicity, Alaska cannot suffer. Whether
people read attacks or praise for Matanuska, they cannot
help being interested in learning better what Alaskan re
sources are, and how they may be developed. Hundreds
cannot help wishing that they, too, would have the oppor
tunity to grow up with Alaska.
The complaints coming out of Matanuska, of course, are
wholly preposterous. In essence, the complainants demand
a bed of roses. They want the work done for them. They
want a big and beautiful city builded around them.
Manifestly, they ask too much. It is significant, how
ever, that these complaints—which bring so much publicity
—come from only a few of the colonists. Press dispatches
recently reported that six families—who must be numbered
among the loudest complainants—want to go back home.
As far as Alaskans are concerned, the six complaining fam
ilies should be sent back home.—Ketchikan Chronicle.
BUILDING SEA POWER
It has been said that a second class Navy is no better
than a second class poker hand and apparently working on
this theory Uncle Sam is moving toward getting out of the
second class and into the first ranks.
The program which has been approved by Congress
calls for the construction of 24 new surface ships of several
classes and between'five and six hundred airplanes of the
latest design. While this will not bring the Navy up to the
full strength allowed under the naval pact it is a step in the
right direction.
In comparison with other countries, our naval and mili
tary power is especially weak and it is well that Congress
has heeded the demands from all parts of the country that
the present insufficiency of the navy be corrected.
Herbert Hoover, once a great bureau builder, warns
against bureaucracy. It depends, we assume, whether one
is Secretary of Commerce or an ex-President.
A 30-foot poster showing an autoist carrying a crippled
child, has been erected in New York as a warning to reck
less drivers. It ought to do some good for about a week,
when a car will undoubtedly crash into it.
