A Question of Policy
The establishment in Chile of
the first socialistic republic in
the western hemisphere,
through the overthrow of Pres
ident Montero on June 4, may
have a marked influence
upon the policy of the United
States with respect to Latin
America. This country has in
vestments in Chile amounting
to more than 800 million dol
lars. Chilean bonds floated in
the United States reach the 1
sum of 275 millions. It is said
that extremist leaders in Chile !
advocate the confiscation of
foregn capital, and also de-;
mand the repudiation of for
eign debts.
Important as the new Chilean
attitude i3, the real menace is
the propagation of this attitude j
in the rest of Latin America,
where the success of the Chil
ean radical movement may en
courage communistic tenden
dencies in other countries to
the southward.
Not long ago the Martinez;
government of El Salvador put
down a communistic revolt,
and, although that govern
ment has not been recognized
by the United States, because
of rather technical objections
to the manner in which Martin
ez came into power, it seems to
have much to commend it on
practical grounds. As a writ
er in the Washington Star said
recently:
“Under the present circum
stances, perhaps the State De
partment should reconsider its
earlier decision not to recog
nize the Martinez regime in El
Salvador, which has been set
up with the aid of armed forc
es. Recognition by the United
States, and the moral support
which this entails, might be a j
* guaranty against the repetition
of the Chilean crisis in El Salv
dor.”
Martinez seems favorable to
American interests; he is doing
his best to maintain law and
order, and to protect foreign
lives and property. He ap
pears to be deserving of the
support whch American recog
nition would give him.
-o
Fundamental*
Sounding a trenchant note of
wisdom by counseling against
forgetting the lessons brought
to us by the depression, the
Press-Times of Wallace, Idaho,
j says:
“An age of disillusionment
may be a hard time to live
through, but it can also be ex
i cremely healthful.
“Right now we are well in the
third year of one of the sharp
est eye-openers any people ev
er had to face. It isn’t a bit of
un, and the end is not in sight:
out the important thing is to
nourish the skepticism and dis
illusionment which the de
gression has given us, and to
^ee that we don’t lay them
away when good times return.
“For it is becoming obvious
every day that the high old
-imes which ended with the
market crash of 1929 were,
above all, an era of bunk. We
kidded ourselves and we per
mitted our leaders to kid us.
•f there is any single reason
A'hy we descended into the pit
-hat was digged for us, it is
that we are all so very willing
to believe a lot of things that
weren’t so.
“All of this, somehow, js
brought to mind by a gradu
ation address made at an east
| ern university the other day by
a prominent American states
j man. This statesman told his
audience that they must culti
vate the qualities of “self reli
ance, common sense, industry,
energy, perseverance, sobriety,
honesty and education,” since
the nation’s leaders invariably
owe their rise to the possession
of such traits. .
“Now all this is very fine, and
the least that we can say is that
it ought to be true; but if you
will think a minute you will
see that a lot of men rose veiy
high indeed during the boom
years without developing any
of these qualities very greatly.
A politician could rise not
ably without either self-reli
ance or common sense. A “fi
nancial wizard” could amass
a fortune without industry,
perseverance, honesty, sobri
ety or much of an education;
j and it seem, in fact, that ener
gy was about the one trait that
was necessary in those days.
“It is vital that we recognize
this fact. We let ourselves get
away from the need of those
fundamental virtues, and we
aie paying for it now—pay
ing for it right through the
nose. If we would avoid a rep
etition of the present depress
ion, we must tie up to them
more firmly than ever.”
Just for Fun
Two big- conventions and not
an orator murdered speaks
well for Chicago hospitality.
Some minds are so open that
they appear unable to hold
anything.
Anyway, the campaign ora
tory can hardly be worse than
some other things heard over
the radio.
A legislator proposes desig-|
nating our language as “Amer
ican.” We agree that a lot of
the lingo we hear isn’t Eng
lish.

sacrificing politicians? Speak

TEN YEARS OR SO AGO
From the Hyder, Alaska, Miner
August 2, 1922.
A portable 9x9 air com
pressor arrived on the Prince
Rupert for the Indian mine and
is now being installed.
Reports have been current
this week of a fabulously rich
strike on the Big Missouri. A
B. Trites, who has the property
under bond, did not deny they
had good ore, but said there
was good ore when they start
ed development and that the
fresh work is simply a verifi
cation of their previous know
ledge. He said they do not
know yet if they have a mine
3r not, but are going to find
out, not by driving blind tun
nels but by getting onto the ore
and following its course.
Fire, caused by a gasoline
explosion about 2 p. m. last
j Sunday, completely destroyed
me of R. E. Lundvall in
the forest reserve and the ad
joining building, formerly the
Forest Home rooming house.
Mr. Lundvall was preparing
to start his assay furnace, lo
cated in the rear of the dwell
ing, when the explosion oc
curred. He was badly burned
about the face and hands and
is now in care of Dr. Chace.
The whole populace turned out
and formed bucket lines from
a creek near the building and
only by the most heroic efforts
were the nearby cabins of Fel
ix Seppi and and Mrs. Estmere,
and the residence of R. L. Stew
art saved. Had the last burned j
a row of residences in the i
same block could not possibly
have escaped.
The loss is approximately
$3,000, with no insurance. All
that was saved was a sewing
machine and phonograph. A
movement started spontaneous
ly to provide the Lundvall fam
ily with .a new home. Subscript
ion lists were started and a
meeting was held in Pioneer
Hall Monday to organize the j
movement. The monetary
sights were set at $2,500 and i
this amount is already assured,
with what is certain to come
from the Premier. General
manager Dale L. Pitt sent word
that he would make a personal
canvas on the hill. The sub
scription committee consists of
D. L. Pitt, for Premier, W. R.
Tooth for Stewart, R. L. Stew
art, Walter Blanton and Joe
McFarland, for Hyder.
