American 'oldiors who were crip
pled and underm ned in health dur
ing the Wo.id War should and un
doubtedly will receive nation-wide
recognition during: the week the
National Disabled Soldiers League is
seeking to have set aside for them.
These men who offered their lives
that the terrible conflict might be
terminated where it had its origin—
on European soil, are deserving of
the best that their country can give
them and it is a matter of regret
that recognition of their plight
should have Leer, so long denied
them. It is a crime for which the
entire country is responsible, and
more particularly Congress and
those representatives of the admin
istration whose neglect of duty has
driven the Disabled Veterans to the
extremity of making a public appeal
in their own behalf.
Large sums of money have been
expended in returning the bodies
of American soldiers, who died on
foreign soil, to their native land:
and the ceremonies attending the
final burial of the Unknown Dead
was a matter of national concern.
All of which is commendable. But
what of the crippled soldiers and
those whose health is broken, who
have been buried in obscure, pro
fiteering hospitals, without cere
mony, without funds and without
a fair chance to recover?
National Disabled Soldiers Week
is a splendid idea and it is to be
hoped toe American people, and
especially those who remained at
home while the disabled soldiers
fought for them, will give it en
thusiastic support and give the week
a permanent place in the calendar
of annual observances. Concentrat
ed interest of the kind that is re
quested may result eventually in
securing for these unfortunate men
the recognition that is theirs by
right of patriotic service and per
sonal sacrifice.
While The News does not believe
it would make any great difference
to Interior Alaska were the federal
government to throw the Territory
wide open, as it was before the pro
tection of the Roosevelt administra
tion was thrown about it, it is by
no means certain the Territ ory, as a
whole, would be permanently bene
fited by unrestricted exploitation,
of the kind that characterized the
development of the Western states.'
i Development undoubtedly would be
more rapid, but there is the danger
that Alaskans, in the end, would
find themselves holding the sack
The News agrees with Governor,
Bone that there is too much red i
tape in connection with Alaskan
affairs, but his meaning is not quite
clear in advocating the "unreserving
the millions of acres of forest lands
senselessly reserved", and the “un-,
locking" of the Territory’s re
sources. Does he mean that the
forests should be given away, with
out restriction of any kind, to be
cut and slashed as the forest? of
the States have been, without re
gards for future needs? Does he
advocate turning over the coal and
oil resource? of the Territory to
John D. Rockefeller or some other
group of capital without a cent of
return or the right to dictate condi- j
tion? of exploitation?
The Governor says the ideas of
the "visionaries and theorists", who
succeeded in “bottling up Alaska.,
were expensively tried and clea-r!
i ly found wanting", and perhaps he
is right. But it is a fact, just the
same, that rivht now. with the coal
1 and oil and forests protected against
the sort of exploitation that would!
fo.low the adoption of a wide open j
policy, actual development is in:
progress in several se-tions of the
Territory, on lands that are pn
tected. One of the biggest coa!
propositions in the " untrv is being
developed oh leased land, and pro
duction will not be curtailed because
of any restrictions in the lease. ' '
It is also a fact that capital has
invaded the Government's oil fields
in Alaska, ready to expend large 1
sums for the development of pro
perties which they must operate on
a leasing basis.
And it is eciually true that there
have been large sales of timber in
Alaska to private interests who
are ready to undertake the estab-;
lishment of new industries.
These evidences of activity would ,
seem to indicate that development
is going ahead in Alaska, albeit
slowly, and there is the promise
that ultimately the wisdom of re
taining control over the resources
of the Territory will be recognized
even by those who have raised their
voices loudly against conservation.
The real trouble with the conser
vation policy, as The News sees it,
