A Fine Achievement
The Alaska-British Columbia
Celebration has come and gone
and in the passing achieved a
splendid success. Not only has
the district received a large
volume of the valuable pub
licity which formed the prim-,
ary motive for its inception,
but the Celebration also pre
sented an outstanding example
of international concord and
fraternity that should serve as
an inspiration to a world en
meshed in a hampering web of
international discordances and
racial antipathies. Viewed
from the latter standpoint, the
celebration may be considered
an event of much greater im
portance than a mere exhibit
ion of the district’s resources
and potentialities; for it has in
all reality marked another step
forward in national relation
ships, as well as an advance
toward that ultimate goal of
humanity — the Universal
brotherhood of Man.
From the purely material
standpoint, the Celebration
was in every respect a fine
achievement and especially for
such small communities as Hy
der, Stewart and Premier. Not
many communities of such di
mensions would conceive,
much less attempt, an enter
tainment of such magnitude
and diversity and all concerned
in its conception and develop
ment are entitled to the ut
most praise for their initiative
and energy and for the vast
amount of labor involved in
their efforts. It was in every
lespect a splendid effort and
the community’s appreciation
is expressed in a universal
hope that it will be repeated
and untimately become an an
nual event.

Ccst of Armaments
In an address at the opening
of the recent sessions of the j
International Chamber of1
Commerce in Washington.
President Hoover called at
tention to the vast expenditures !
by the nations for armaments, i
aggregating nearly five billion i
dollars a year.
This, he declared, is about ;
70 per cent greater than was t
spent for military purposes be
fore the World War. It repre
sents the cost of keeping five
and a half million men actively
under arms and twenty million
more in reserves.
The President deplored the
fact that the nations felt it
necessary to maintain such ex
tensive armies and navies in
spite of their adhei’ence to the!
Kellogg-Briand pact, whereby
they had renounced war as an
instrument of national policy |
and had agreed to settle all
Their controversies by peaceful
methods. He spoke hopefully,
however, of the effects for
armament reduction which
have been and are being made,
and called upon the business
men of the world to aid in
promoting peace.
Manifestly the maintenance
of world peace is the most im
portant problem that confronts
civilization. Compared with it
all other problems are rel
atively insignificant. And who
ever by word or deed needless
ly adds to the difficulties of its
- solution is an enemy of the
human race.

Create More Capitalists
The few benighted individ
uals who are living in hopes of
‘.he capitalistic system being
uveithrown and who fondly
. iope that out of the ruins will
j merge lewards for all regard
j 'ess of initiative, ability or ef
ort, are doomed to die with
their dreams still unrealized.
Year by year evolution will
change economics and politics.
But only another world war
could cause anything resembl
ing a revolution—and the
world has had its fill of mod
ern warfare.
Today’s problem of those
who would reform the econom
ics of the world is not how to
destroy capitalism, but how to
erfeate more capitalists—how
to extend the benefits of the
ownership of industry to an
ever-increasing number of the
world’s people. — Financial
News, Vancouver, B.C.
Just for Fun
j Seen in an advertisement:
j “Even on diapers Macy’s saves
j you a didy sum.”
Sometimes genius takes the
form of being able to cash in
on other peoples ideas.
After weeding the garden
one may get that kink out of
his back by whitewashing the

er results with an auto horn.
Novice Golfer—“Are you the
man who went around this
■ course in 76?”
' Second Ditto—“Certainly not;

The teacher was testing the j
knowledge of a kindergarten j
class. Clapping a half-dollar on !
the desk, she said sharply,
"what is that?”
Instantly a voice from the j
back row replied, “Tails.”
“Who’s in that hen house?"
shouted the irate owner as.
hearing a noise in the night,
he rushed out and aimed a
shot gun at the door, “Speak
or I’ll shoot.”
“Ain’t nobuddy in here,” re- !
sponded a faint and trembling
voice from the inside, “Ain’t
nobuddy, sah, ’cepting just us
chickens.”
The doctor of a country vil
lage had two children who
were acknowledged by the in
habitants as being the prettiest
little girls in the district.
While the children were out
walking one day, they happen
ed to pass quite near two small
boys; one lived in the village
and the other was a visitor.
“I say,” said the latter to
his friend, “who are those lit
| tie girls?”
“They are the doctor’s child
ren,” replied the village boy.
j "He always keeps the best for
himself.”
