WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
If you wire called upon to assume a big responsi
bility with respect to an enterprise about the first
thing you would do would be to gain correct data and
information as to its every angle.
Apparently that is what President Hoover is now
doing with respect to Alaska.
It will be recalled that shortly after his inaugura
tion he gave out caustic views with respect to bureau
acracy. It sounded like a Rooseveltan hurling down of
the guantlet. Before him was the spectacle of five prede
cessors in the President’s chair failing in an attempt to
reform this growing evil in American government.
We are willing to risk our reputation as a seer by
predicting that President' Hoover is preparing to do
just what former Governor William Sulzer said he
would do: gather facts and ihen launch a comprehen
sive and business-like era of development in Alaska.
Fresh in memory is the fact that hundreds of mil
lions of dollars was expended on the Mississippi river
in an effort to control it. This money was expended in
piecemeal. Hoover did not wait for “observer” reports.
As one of the leading engineers of the world he took a
personal look at the situation. Result: the adoption of
a plan supported by the most skilled engineering group
in America which carries with it the accomplishment
of a given purpose with practically one stroke.
Alaska offers an opportunity for the President to
launch his first offensive against bureaucracy. He is go
ing up against a valiant foe. If he accomplishes no other
outstanding act during his tenure this alone should
crown him for the Hall of Fame.
Let us give him our good wishes and undivided sup
port. Our ox is getting the horn in the ribs.

EX-ASIATIC CHAMP CONTEN

—
Moro Jack Lloyd, who will grap
|ple with Crusher Downes tonight.
| won his reputation with the U. S.
Asiatic Squadron in 1927-28-29- At
jChefoo, China, in 1928 he got top
: time over Ray Lamaster who later
won the light heavyweight champ
ionship. He won by falls over
|“Butch” Hulbert at Manila, 1927,
land unofficially beat the Philippine
champion the same year, won top
'time over “Grappler” Baffo at
| Olongapo in 1928 and over Car
penter on board the Jassen. In 1929
,he trained Smith, the welter weight
champion and Woodell who won
the bantum weight. Lloyd was
jtrained by Tarzen, the famous ape
-man of the Fleet who has met and
conqured all comers. These are
| only a few of his victories, but lack
|of space prevents our listing more,
j Crusher Downes, his opponent, is a
dark horse. Little is known about
his powers and he refuses to talk.
But he has confidence in himself
and may bring defeat to Moro.
