CONSUMMATION DEVOUTLY TO BE WISHED
The way they are going about this International
Highway proposition from Alaska thru Canada to the
States seems almost too good to be true. Is it possible
that the people of the United States are at last to learn
the truth about Alaska! The proponents of the propo
sition at e letting no grass grow under their feet, and for
once we seem launched on a project that is fairly well
destined to be clear of politics and red tape.
In this latter regard we will probably owe a heart
felt debt to Canada because there is a country that
dees things and talks about it afterwards. They are de
veloping their whole northern domain at a surprising
rate and a few millions seem to mean nothing in their
young lives. A pulsating artery that will traverse their
west coast and open all the vast domain of British Co
doing stunts where almost any cornfield offers a land
their scheme of things and a few millions more is right
in their hand. Happily for us, we can all work together,
not for political reasons, but to develop a stupendous
portion of the North American continent.
Alaska will benefit immeasurably, Canadians will
get a newT slant on their western empire while the people
of our own United States may ride grandly on rubber
tired Pullmans and find out what it‘s all about. There
is nothing which has happened since the days of the
gold rushes of Klondike, Nome and Fairbanks that
can equal this highway in bringing the attention of
the world to the wealth and grandeur of northern North
America.
Congratulations will soon be in order at the wedd
ing of the North and the South.
We suppose we will be called old-fashioned, nar
row-minded, a nut, etc., because we are convinced that
as long as there are two men and a woman in the
world, there can never be peace; there will always be
war, disarmament conferences to the contrary. War
is a business upon which nations thrive. And each new
crop of youngsters look upon battle as a great adven
ture until they get mixed up in it. A chance to get out
from a humdrum job, environment; the patriotic urge
wrought to fever pitch. To our feeble intellect it ap
pears as but another dream of Arcadia.
Of particular note and interest to Alaskans is the
general activities, social and otherwise, thruout the
Territory on the part of the various American Legion
Posts. The American Legion is becoming a vital factor
in the growth and development of Alaska. More power
to them.
It is now in order for Alaska’s flock of conquering
young eagles to say to Uncle Sam’s brood of fledgelings
doing stunts where almost any cornfield affers a land
ing place: “Come up here and stick around the hangar
a while cleaning up spark plugs; then go back home
and tell the folks you have talked to a real flier.”
We are glad to hear the postal department is tak
ing steps to halt obscene pictures from appearing in
magazines. We never did like 'em dished up thataway;
that is, not so much.
An unconfirmed report says a baby was bom in
Hollywood in 1929.
In most countries they call 'em monuments. In Chi
na they call them idols.
We note with shame where it is proposed to en
large prisons on account of the dry law.
