AN ITALIAN VIEW
The fate of the League of Na
tions depends upon the moral co- j
operation of those peoples who, in
spired by a true sense of justice,
are conscious of the necessity for
solidarity in international relations,!
Count Sforza, Italian minister of j
foreign affairs, has written in aj
circular letter to Italian diplomatic j
agents abroad, says an Associated:
Press report from London.
In his instruction to Italian dip- j
lomatic agents, Count Sforza ex
pressed his ideas on the league,
speaking of the realization of its j
imperfections by the states which'
contributed to its formation and of
tiie necessity for the admission of
states not theii members in order1
that the league’s authority can be1
assured and its structure perfected.
As a result of the bitter critici.yn i
and loud praise of the league, there!
has been considerable scepticism of!
the new institution, wrote Count :
Sforza, therefore making the diffu- j
sion of exact knowledge of what •
the League of Nations really is the 1
more valuable for restraining diffi-!
dent and sceptical censors as well j
as superficial and irresponsible eu-'
logists. He continued:
“It is necessary to instill the firm
conviction that the new institution j
which has been invoked for cen- ■
turies by the Italian philosophical
and legal doctrine, represents a*,
higher degree of the evolution of;
law based on a higher unity than
that of the state. The creation of j
a League of Nations aims at secur-!
ing the integrity of its members and '
maintaining international peace. It!
does not therefore exclude the hy- j
pothesis of war; it excludes it as
the supreme right of the strongest,
as the supreme appeal to violence,
as an event abandoned to the ca
prices and vicissitudes of fortune;
it admits it, on the contrary, as an
affirmation of the moral power of
right for re-integrating the com
munity of states broken by the
disturbances of international peace,
and thus its function comes to cor
respond to the penal function of
each state within its own borders”.
Italian diplomatic agents have
been informed that it is the duty of
Italy to promote knowledge of the
league to the special department for
the League of Nations in the Italian
foreign office.
FAR EASTERN REPUBLIC
—
A declaration issued by the gov-!
ernment of the Far Eastern republic
asserts that the entire territory of
Siberia from Lake Baikal to the
Pacific including the Amur, Mari
time, Saghalien and Kamchatka pro
vinces and “the territory along the
Chinese Eastern Railway” to be an
independent, united country, where
in no concessions will be given to
any foreign power.
Somewhat at variance with the
above, however, an article of the de
claration says: “A people’s con
stituent assembly to work out the
principles of the state construction
and constitution of the Far East
ern republic will be convoked as
soon as the rest of the Ataman’s
(SemicnofTs) power has been put
aside and all of the far eastern
provinces are united.”
The declaration recites that “the
institution of private ownership will
be preserved and the government
of the people and its representatives
in order to protect the interests of
the workmen, will make the neces
sary correction, based on the ex
perience of all progressive states”.
It also states that “having in view
the development of the great wealth
of the country, the government will
call upon private capitalists, Rus
sians as well as foreigners, to take
part in it so far as is not contrary
to the interests of the country”.
Oscar Amson, a resident of Jun
eau for 34 years, was recently ad
mitted to the home for oldtimers at
Sitka.
MANY SEEKING PERMITS TO
TO DEVELOP ALASKA OIL
A report from Juneau states that
300 applications have been filed at
the U. S. land office since the pass
age of the oil leasing bill. The total
acreage of the claims covered by
these applications is 690,333 acres,
more than half of the ground being
located in the Cold Bay district.
Between October 18 and the time
this information was received from
the territorial capital, a total of 66
applications were filed, covering 161
600 acres. Almost 75 per cent of
these filings were entered by people
locating claims in the Cold Bay dis
trict. One new field was opened dur
ing that period, being inland from
Aniakchak bay. Two applications
| were received from there and it is
j said the district is very promising,
■ excellent surface indications having
been found, including heavy de
posits of seepage.
Reports from the Cold Bay dis
trict tell of an extension of the
western side of Lake Becharof, to
ward Bristol bay, which is said to be
equally as promising as the central
area.
Thirteen oil leasing and prospect
ing permits, covering 28,680 acres,
have been received at the Juneau
land office, all of them issued by
the department of the interior on
November 10. The land is situated
in the Katalla, Yakataga and Clod
Bay districts.
Ross Ficklin, an employe of the
Premier mine, in the Hyder district,
was killed recently when a tree
which he was falling kicked back
and pinned him to the ground.
Mace Farrar and Joe Burns left
for the Kantishna on Saturday.

One Pair Did Not Wear Out!
IT was a scientific expedition composed of three
white men and five Indians.
They tramped clear across I .abrador, rive months of
that heart-breaking going through rough country
that simply means death to footwear.
One man wore Goodrich “Tli-Press” and the rest
wore—other makes.
And before the traverse was completed every sol
itary boot and shoe had worn out except Goodrich!
The chief of the party (who wore the Goodrich) sent
the shoes into us as proof. You should see them—
the corrugations on the sole are not all worn off.
There is no doubt of the superior wearing quality
of Goodrich Rubber Boots and Shoes. It has been
proven time and again.
Fishermen, laborers, hunters, miners all agree that
the footwear with the Red Line Round the lop
stands supreme for comfort and all around service.
