War has been declared at least
a thousand times in Nenana during
the past couple of days.
The nation will bre'st.ie easier
now that the New York World has
discovered the perpetrators of the
Wall street bomb outrage. When the
real culprit can’t be located, it is
the custom to blame the working
stiff.
_ i.
It is surprising how much war
talk there is in Europe since the
creation of that League of Nations.
President-elect Harding says he
is going to the Canal Ko'ne for the
benefit of his health but vie are
wise to him—he wants to get away
from about a million Republican
office-seekers who doubtless already
are on the trail of political plums.
FORCED TO PROTEST
The action of the citizens of
Zenana in registering vigorous pro
test against the manner in which
the work of the Alaskan Engineer
ing commission is being conducted
is not without justification, as Sec
retary Payne can easily ascertain if
he is really desirous of helping the
territory and will take the trouble
to conduct a thorough investigation
of Alaskan Engineering commission
policies and general attitude toward
the territory for the benefit and
development of which the Govern
ment railroad was projected.
When Colonel Mears told Dele
gate Grigsby recently that the rail
road is not being built to develop
the country through which it passes,
he 'spoke a truth which has long
been recognized by oldtime Alaskans.
The railroad surely is not being
built to develop the country' and it is
not developing it. The work is be
ing directed by an organization
which has no interest in Alaska,
no confidence in the enterprise in
which it is engaged and no sense of
justice in dealing with Alaskans.
J a? employes or as users of the rail
road.
The Government railroad is not a
j development projeet. as Alaskans1
intended it to be when the work
was first started. It has more the
appearance of being a private snap
for the particular benefit of those!
few men at the head of the organ- ,
ization who are receiving the fat •
! salaries. The manner in which the
work is being delayed needlessly.
I if not purposly. is just cause for j
; complaint, both on the part of In
ferior Alaskans, who are the chief}
‘sufferers through the delay, and on
I the part of the people of the States,,
who are supplying the major part ,
of the money being expended in
construction work.
Alaskans have been remarkably!
patient. They have overlooked much'
that should have been condemned;1
they have given encouragement and
assistance to the railroad organiza-1
tion in time of need; they have put j
up with conditions which would not ;
■ have been tolerated in any other;
section of the United States; they!
have waited hopefully for more than 1
four years for some sign of re-1
I
suits and now, in desperation, they j
have appealed to the interior de-:
partment to call a halt to the im
perialistic policy which is fast driv
ing Alaskans from the Interior val
leys.
!
The protest registered by Xenana
iles did not result from any par
ticular act on the part of the com
mission. It is an appeal for fair
treatment—an appeal for relief from
commission-created conditions which
have become intolerable—a kick
against the continuance of policies
that are wrecking Interior Alaska.
And if the desired results are •
r.ot obtained now through the de-1
partment of the interior, of which
the Alaskan Engineering commission
| is a part, it will not be a difficult
\ matter to interest the incoming ad
