"ABSOLUTELY AND UNQUALI
FIEDLY TREASON"
It requires no military knowledge .
nor training in strategy to know that
at the present moment the situation in
Europe is critical. In order to realize
this it is not necessary for one to lose
his patriotic optimism as to the even
tual result. Our purpose in this war,
however, is not to accomplish the re- j
suit after years of effort, of loss of S
blood and treasure. Our purpose is1
to accomplish as speedy a victory as
possible. The shorter the war, the
greater will be the victory. A victory
rttainod after three or four years of
terrific lighting may'mean economic
and industrial distress and will mini
mize the victory materially.
The situation in Europe today on |
the battle front must impress upon |
any thinking mind the necessity of I
organization for the war. There must
be no more slackness, no more dila
tory tactics. There must be leader
ship, concentration and efficiency.
There must be a lining up of all the
forces to bring about the end of the j
war, and at the present time this con
centration and this lining up of the
forces must be made effective in order
:jo meet the obvious purpose of the
■enemy now trying to break down the
allied lines and deliver a paralyzing
blow. Nothing must be left undone.
A survey of the situation shows that
there is a lack of co-operation and co
• riHnation and a lack of many essen
tial things at the present time, all of
them tending to minimize our efforts,
upon which our allies in Europe are
relying. America must win this war.
We must win it, not only on the battle
front, but by our efforts behind the
lines, by utilizing transportation, in
dustry, labor and agriculture to Its
fullest effect.
It would be foolish to say that the
situation now gives hope of a speedy
accomplishment of these things. What
is the reason for it? Look over the
records of the strikes during the pas!
twelve months, and you will find a
substantial pait of the answer. A
strike of workingmen today in anj
mill, mine or factory or on a railway
system is absolutely and unqualifiedly
treason. The individual who sells in
formation to the enemy is really no
guilty of the serious treason whicl
the union is guilty of when it calls ou
a thousand men from the workshoj
The individual plays a limited pari
The union controls thousands of met
paralyzes shipbuilding, paralyze
transportation, prevents supplies an
limits our fighting forces on the fron
We have come to the time when trei
son must be defined as somethin
which interferes with our progress i
the war, and the punishment for tre
son of this sort must be the same s
lor treason deliberately entered in
by an individual to furnish aid ai
comfort to the enemy through inf(
mation or in any other way._
The Industries of the country must
be maintained at full efficiency. There
must be no slackness either in labor
or in industry, in transportation or in
the halls of legislation There must
be complete co-ordination of effort.
This only can be accomplished by the
government exercising its full power
and authority to drive the war to a
successful issue. Those who may not
realize how subtle is the treason of
inactivity or concealed antagonism
may understand it by studying the pic
tures which are being presented
They show the slacker and the worker.
They show the result of the efforts of
each and they show wherein we are
lacking in that concentration and ef
ficiency and necessary force which
must be invoked to win the war.

Another boat has gone on the rocks,
thus emphasizing the imperative need
of the waters of Alaska being better
charted. Fortunately, no livest w'ere
lost and the mail was saved, but the
accident to the Admiral Evans reduces
the tonnage to this territory, which it
:an ill afford to lose at this time, when
the shipment of supplies and machin-;
ary for the canneries is heaviest.

Cordova will be one of the principal
Ishing centers in Alaska during the
?oming season, and when our four
:1am plants and eight salmon canner
es are in full operation they will give
amployment to a large number of men
ind women, thus insuring a large and
iteady payroll. In fact, the outlook
lor the town was never brighter.

It is the duty of every qualified voter

Another murder is reported from
the Interior, and the fact that numar
ous crimes have been committed in
Alaska during the past few years in
which the perpetrators have not been
apprehended inclines many to the be
lief that it is about time for some
drastic action, and the suggestion has 1
frequently been made that an organ-1
ization similar to the Northwest
mounted police or Pennsylvania state
constabulary would accomplish desired
results.
