Were i: left to Alaskans to de
tide the question of army strength
General Pershing and Secretary ol
War Weeks would have a bus.v
time of it explaining why such a
large force is needed in time ol
peace, with the nation fairly gasp
ing under the burden of war ex
pense. Alaskans know something uf
war and war burdens and they know
that many men can be spared from
the army without -erious danger tn
the country The war department
keeps a lot of soldiers in Alaska
for no good reason, and what is
true of the North probably is true
of other sections of the country—
and along the Rhine. Workers are
urgently needed now in peace-time
industries and it would be better for
the country to give soldiers the op
portunity to engage in gainful oc
cupations than to invite agitation
for increased use of foreign labor.
All of the candidates for seats
in the territorial legislature, and
particularly those of the Fourth
division, should be requested to
make their positions clear on the
question of Government operation
of steamers in connection with the
Alaska Railroad. The issue, as The
News sees it. is a live -one, for it
may come to pass that the legis
lature will be in a position to as
sist in the proposed transportation
program during the forthcoming
session of the lawmakers. Certainly
it is not desired that the legislature
oppose such a step as is planned
for it has beer, demonstrated that
Interior Alaska cannot reap the full
benefit of rail transportation with
out through and adequate river
correction with points remote from
'he railroad. The News believes all
the Fourth division candidates will
do what they believe is for the best
interests of the Interior but a defin
ite statement regarding the trans
portation issue will go far toward
giving voters that rea.ssurar.ee which
they have a right to expect.

COAST EDITOR MIXES NAMES:
BLAMES GOTWALS FOR TALK
Similarity of names resulted re
cently in Col. J. C. Gotwals being
accused of agitating for an increase
in the area of Mt. McKinley Na
tional park. It will be recalled by
readers o' The News that a Major
Gotchall, who spent several days in
the park district recently, advocat
ed an extension of park boundaries
after he had returned to the coast,
and at least one Alaska editor, who
should have known better, assumed
that the talkative major was Colonel
Gotwals, because their names hap
pen to be somewhat similar.
In discussing the incident yester
day, Colonel Gotwals made it plain
that park boundaries do not concern
him in his official capacity as en
gineer officer of the Alaska Road
Commission and that he has not dis
cussed the matter for publication,
nor would he do so yesterday. He
admits, however, that he has his per
sonal views regarding parks and
reservations in genera! bu: he is
not airing them at this time. He
merely desires to make it clear
that he is not interfering in things
that do not concern him or the
Alaska Road Commission.
Bert Brown returned to Nenana
yesterday from the Kantishr.a dis
trict, where he was engaged in re
connaisance work with Engineer
Hawley Sterling, of the Alaska Road
Commission. He is a guest at the
Cooney hotel during his stay in
town.
