DUTY OF MAN
Is anything ever gained by fighting? Let it be clear
ly recognized that in war both sides lose. This is as true
in labor wars as in conflicts between sovereign states. Jus
tice is never all on one side. The cost of conflict must be
borne by everyone. War is an anachronism. Peace means
compromise, the greatest good to the greatest number.
. . Love—call it brotherhood, call it common humanity,
call it common sense—is the universal solvent.
We need to get away from our strife for a few mo
ments, to see the whole problem in the terms of our com
mon humanity, to discover that no economic problem is
essentially insoluble—that a little common sense and a lit
tle feeling for justice would solve all these difficulties with
out bloodshed or its equivalents in envy, jealousy, hatred
and distrust. Be decent! That is the whole duty of man.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. "Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
Tonight I strolled into the office of my good friend,
James E. Barrett, managing director of the Oklahoma Bilt
.tfiOfe Hotel and found him in a deep study. When I in
quired what he was thinking about, he answered by sayi
ng, “Science.”
“Well,” I said, “tell me what you think about Science.”
Jim said, “Did you ever stop to think of the wonders of
Science, which make life easy and so congenial? It seems
that few people seldom think of the men behind the scenes
who toil day in and day out for the uplifting and improve
ment of mankind. The world owes so much to Science.”
As Science is rather deep for me, I asked him what he
thought about newspaper advertising. He said it was his
opinion that good hotels are a great asset to any city and
the better tthey are the more they should advertise. As I
had overheard an argument today about what constituted
a real citizen, I then asked Jim what his opinion was of a
good citizen. He said, “The mark of a good citizen is his
willingness to do that which will be a help to his city with
out regard as to whether that thing will be personally
agreeable to him or not. The knowledge that he is helping
his city should make it agreeable to him.”
So this concluded my interview. Half a dozen conven
tions at the Biltmore today—delegates here from all over
America. It’s a popular hotel. In the lobby today I met
people from New York to California and from Alaska to
Brazil.
Did you ever stop to think that the critics of advertis
ing who are fond of stressing its ‘cost’ entirely overlook
the part which advertising has played in making this world
a more pleasant and agreeable place in which to live?

June 13th the House agreed to the
(Senate amendments to the bill to
authorize the Tlinget and Haida In
dians of Alaska to bring suit in the
United States Court of Claims for
any claims they may have against
the United States. The bill has now
gone to the President.
The bill transferring certain lands
to the city of Nome passed the Sen

reported by the House Committee
on Public build'nga and Grounds
and the Delegate expects to secure
its passage in the House soon.
The operation of the NRA cod
es in Alaska has resulted in so much
general good that their possible ab
olishment would appear to be a very
backward step. In his efforts to con
tinue the Code requirements in the
Territory, regardless of the action
that has been taken on them in
the States, Delegate Dimond has
written the following letter to the
President:
June 7. 1935.
The President,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. President:
The operation of the National Re
covery Act in the Territory of Al
aska has been an outstanding suc
cess particularly with respect to the
salmon packing industry.
Approximately five-eighths of the
world’s salmon supply is packed in
Alaska, the average annual pack for
the Territory being about 5,000,000
cases 48 pounds to the case or 240,
End Fiscal Year
Near With Debt
28 and Half Billion
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, June 29 — The
government neared the end of the
fiscal year with a gross debt of j
more than twenty-eight and one
half billion dollars.
In the face of this authoritative
statement a comparison showed that
the per capita public debt in Bri
tain was about two and one-half
times greater than this nation. Bri
tain’s per capita debt is $991 as com
pared with $270 in this country.
000,000 pounds.
The Code adopted for the salmon
industry was generally observed in
Alaska and was highly beneficial to
all interests, particularly to the cm-1
poyees. The operation of the Code
materially raised and stabilized wag- j
es in the industry. Fir example
under the Code prices paid by the
operators to seiners for salmon were
increased from 50 to 100'7 over the
prices prevailing during the proceed
ing year. The administration of the
Act in Alaska has been carried on
in a highly efficient manner for
