TREATMENT OF BOLSHEVISM
From some of the numerous out
pourings on the subject of Bolshevism
we cull the following paragraphs:
“The aim of the Bolshevlki is com
munism and equality for everybody.
We may find out eventually that Bol
shevism is not the proper means for
attaining our end. We will then act
accordingly and somehow reach com
munism by opportunism, but always
work toward communism.
“We believe that ultimately every
thing must be socialized. Everything
must belong to the state, and no one
must own anything. A person may
have anything he wants simply by
asking for it. That is our Utopia,
which we may not reach for a long
time, of course.”
There is a delightful vagueness
about all this, as well as a singular
disregard for sound reasoning. A pers
pective based upon history and an
understanding of sociology and econ
omics is the best corrective for loose
thought. At present the hold that Bol
shevism has attained is due largely
to the ignorance of the individual, who
is swayed by the thought that, just
beyond, there is some unusual fulfill
ment of human desires, obtainable not
by the ordinary route of hard work
and good living, but by some short
cut that in devoid of effort and sweet
shevism, communism, or any other
“ism” of like kind is a delusion of a
vicious nature. That it will ultimately
work itself out, in those countries
where it appears to have secured a
foothold, just as a plague runs its
, course, goes without saying. In the
meantime, it is best handled in a man
ner similar to that called for in the
treatment of a malignane disease—by
quarantine of those affected by it.
ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
Love of adventure sends men away
from their firesides to the four quar
ters of the earth. Soldier, sailor, pio
neer, and miner are alike impelled by
this force. Whether it is the storm
ing of a trench, the chase of a sub
marine, the clearing of virgin land or
mushing through the far stretches of
northern Alaska in search of the
elusive placer, there will always be
men who are willing to take the
chance, and not for the money that is
in it but out of the pure joy of novel
accomplishment and through desire
for new things and the passion to es
cape the humdrum of ordinary pur
suits. Roosevelt hunted big game in
Africa; Cecil Rhodes opened up a vast
land, and history is replete with
stories of men who have overstepped
the superficial boundaries of ordinary
existence and have accomplished whal
they wanted to do.
Not many years ago the crossing o
the Atlantic upon wings would havi
seemed a dream. It has actually beet
accomplished. Men of our navy havi
coolly calculated the undertaking ii
a manner similar to the solution 01
any engineering problem. Distanci
weather conditions, plane construi
tion, communication, control instn
ments, flight details, and the insuranc
of the maximum opportunity of rescu
In case of mechanical difficulties wer
all figured to a hair. The thing wa
done. The accomplishment is i
triumph to them an who is at hii
desk and figures out his problem, am
with confidence In his calculations, i
courageons enough to act. More tha
that, the success of the men of th
navy Is an inspiration to every ei
gineer. All honor to the men who dl
the trick, from the humblest worker 1
the s^pp to the lucky fellows wb
crossed the Atlantic!
Why not begin to arrange for
monster celebration on July 4. Who'!
start the ball rolling?
ROAD FUNDS
ARE PROMISED
FORALASKA
Satisfactory working arrangements
for the handling of road funds with
the war department and the depart
ment of agriculture were made in
Washington by Major W. H. Waugh,
president of the Alaska board of road
commissioiner8, who has returned to
Juneau.
“Arrangements as we have made
them will allow a good deal of free
dom in the handling of road funds,”
said Major Waugh. “We cgn hope for
good treatment from the members of
the appropriation committee when
they consider the appropriation bill.
All of the members of the military
and appropriation committees were
abroad when I was in Washington and
I was unable to see them. However, I
believe the chief of engineers’ office
will look after us satisfactorily.
“The estimate of $300,000 for the
Alaska road commission has been ap
proved, and I hope it will go through.
“The postoffice appropriation bill
carries money for road work of which
we get a part. Fifty-nine thousand dol
lars is available now. While we are
entitled to more, we won’t be able to
get it until we make a good showing
with what we have and with our co
operative work with the department
of agriculture. I hope we will accom
plish enough work to get this sum in
creased next year.”
While in Washington, Major Waugh
was offered the work of organizing
the department of public works and
roads of the Chilean government. This,
he said, he declined, as he was al
ready far enough away from his home.
