LANE AND ALASKA.
"Before many years we will see
Alaska fill a large place in the
public eye of file country, for it is
the largest unit of undeveloped, ter
ritory this United States holds,"
Secretary of the Interior Franklin
K. Lane predicted in a telegram of
greeting to the Alaska bureau of |
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, |
on the occasion of the annual din- j
ner held in Seattle last month. ‘‘It j
needs better steamship lines, morej
railroads, more wagon roads and ;
less red tape. The Government j
should either be prepared to act j
paternalistically in the development,
of this domain which it owns or it!
should make it easier for the peo- |
pie to develop it themselves.
"It is not necessary to give away i
its resources in order to secure this j
development. The first step should :
be concentration of governmental !
authority in a single board resident ^
in Alaska, which would have au- j
thority broad enough to permit it'
to develop Alaska along pioneer
lines, making the rewards ample for
those who do fhe developing, but
insuring against long speculative I
holding.
"The Northern regions of Alaska !
should be filled with reindeer and j
muskoxen; a herd of the latter j
should be brought over from North- ;
ern Canada. They can feed with ,
the reindeer upon the grasses, which i
the reindeer do not eat, and these 1
animals could supply the whole Pa-;
cific coast with meat.
‘‘Industries should be found to t
support permanent coast fishing vil- j
lages throughout the winter. The
growth of agriculture in Alaska
must largely depend upon the
growth of mining, and with our
new railroad, which Congress has
now ipturfd, I look for a rebirtjx fl£
the mijjiiog ih^ustry.' have.incjt
ye t begun to knofv Whait 'is in Ala-L
karjr Its islands should be leased
onj"4twenty or thirty-year, terms as
great ‘herdir/g ground’s for hardy
cattle and the ridiculous law’s pro
tecting predatory animals should be
repealed, so as to make the herds
safe. The new oil leasing bill will
make possible oil exploration and
production. It is a great land,
which needs but to be known to be
loved for its beauty, its grandeur,
and its assurance that it will be the
home of many hundreds of thou
sands of stalwart Americans.”
WORK IS THE CURE, r
1 ■ i
The hard-headed common sense
of Herbert Hoover is illustrated by
his vigorous" denunciation-- of" plans
for extending further government
aid to Europe, says '■ the Seattle
Times. >” *
“The world needs to get awSy 1
from the nation of government heTp,
both- internally and externally,” Re
says, “and get back to work and
business.”
Hoover bluntly takes issue with
enthusiasts of the Sir George Paish
type, who are urging upon the
United States the extension of bifl
ions of dollars in credits to Europe.
France and Great Britain, Hoover
asserts, haver on hand shflicient for
eign securities to cover their needs
for commercial credits.
Italy, he says, can help itself by
demobilizing and getting back on a
peace-time basis.
Future loans, in his opinion,
should be extended solely by pri
vate agencies in the United States
to private agencies in Europe and
should be based on strictly financial
grounds.
This is wise counsel. There are
altogether too many among our
good friends overseas who regard
the United States as a gigantic
Christmas tree, loaded with gifts,
not only for the industrious, but
for the idle, the thriftless, and the
lazy.
This view is not shared in any
single respect by the American peo
ple, who are growing impatient in
the face of constant appeals for
assistance, uttered on behalf of
countries whose workers and weav
ers of fantastic, destructive econom
ic dreams are deliberately “shirking
on the job” of reconstruction.

CANADA IS ASSISTING
BUILDERS OF VESSELS
SEATTLE.—The federal govern
ment of Canada, in order to keep
the British Columbia shipbuilding in
dustry alive, has decided to make
loans to all yards needing assistance
up to 75 percent of the cost of the
ships on the ways, according to re
ports received in shipbuilding cir
cles here.
One Victoria, B. C., plant, oper
ated by the Cholberg company, will
be on of the first private corpora
tions to receive government aid. The
Cholberg yard plans to build four
wooden sailing schooners with mon
ey borrowed mainly from the gov
ernment. The government will fin
ance the ships up to $175,000 per
ship, on the understanding that the
nishes $75,000. Each
st pbout $250,000.

AX DID NOT FALL
According to special advices re
ceived at Fairbanks from the terri

to give its support to the proposal
jf the appropriations committee to
eliminate eleven surveyors-general at
present on the federal payroll, in
eluding F>ob Sommers, of Juneau.
The dispatch, which was sent by
the Empire, states that the proposed

largely to his efforts that funds
were secured to continue the of
