To the Mayor, Seward, Alaska.
Honored Sir: The International

sends greetings lo your government
calling attention to the expanding so
cial ills of narco ic addiction that
now presents a pressing problem to

This Association is incorporated

the federal government as a scien-|
tific and educational organization. |
with international headquarters at
Los Angeles, California. It is under- j
taking to check and help ultimately
to overcome the growing menace of j
narcotic addiction by the process of
education which is cssenMa.lv the |
method of prevention applicable to
most social ills, but particularly to
this ill. with its secretive methods. ;
and with its powers of deying law. !
The Association will acquaint your |
government with the practical pro-,
gram through which it plans to at
tain its objective. In due course, its |
Commission will undertake a narcotic
survey of the world.
The Association’s work and ob
jects are endorsed by the President
of the Lnited States and the mem
bers of hip Cabinet, whose depart
ments are concerned. Also, by mem
bers of the judicial and legislative '
branches of the national government,
by the governors of all the states,
the mayors of large cities and out- 1
standing figures in the religious, ed- 1
nnol Mnrl business
world, regardless of political affilia
tions, or race, creed, or any other
difference.
The Association would appreciate
| in the acknowledgment an expres
! sion from your Government, espe- 1
! cially in regard to successfully ap- *
plying the education treatment to
! this serious ill.
With great respect we remain,
Yours in the cau<e of humanity,
RICHMOND P. HOBSON,
President International Narcotic Edu
cation Association.

THE AIR-PLANES
No words can express the seusa
ir.ns that moved the spiritual beings
•f some of us at the coming in sight
nd approach of the round the world
squadron cf air planes into the uoper
egions of Resurrection Bay. The
aagnihcance that surrounded them—
now-clad mighty mountains, shirn
lering in their natural grandeur, only
nrpassed by the overwhelming evi
'ence of human genius, descending
ipon us nearer and nearer.
S ill we say, and some of us mean
it, that there is nothing new under
the suit. The eternal must- be only
had ripened into creation. They ap
peared, arisen out of the human brain,
that in time had developed from that
>11 including materia with its lorces,
its every earthly and heavenly pos
sibility. Who can imagine nothing
toss? Surely not a sound mind. Con
sequently that something that we so
>asily arrive at, the eternal, all-em
nacing universe, must always have
misled, conscious man being its
I is genius brought us those airplanes.
,Vhen man reaches perfection or
godliness we shall have perfect air
danes, but at this stage we shall
lever arrive, because development
foes on forever. Hence the stalling
if one of the planes at Portage Bay.
