A HINT TO EUROPE
There was something of a coinci
dence between the statement of Presi
dent Coolidge that the United States
will not alter its policy toward a
worldwide economic conference in
view of the failure of Europe to ac
cept the proposal made by our gov
ernment on reparations about a year
ago, and the statement of David L.
George, now in America, that it is not
yet too late to accept the Washington
suggestion.
In a recent speech in Montreal Mr.
George said that he hoped a serious
consideration of the Hughes plan will
be taken up even at this late date, as
it was the only hope of a successful
settlement. The Hughes suggestion
was that unofficial representatives of
the various governments get together
and estimate Germany’s capacity to
pay, and he stressed the possibility ot
extending credit to Germany after an
adjustment had been made.
At the time it was made Secretary
Hughes’ plan attracted considerable
attention, particularly in view of the
possibility then existing that France
would scramble the eggs by invading
the Ruhr. It was designed in a great
measure to prevent the economic
collapse of Germany, and it was evi
dent that should the plan, which was
designed to get the European nations
together for a common purpose, be
adopted and put into effect, it would
be possible to obtain ample credit or
financial aid in the United States to
help in restoring Germany. With such
definite promises of settlement capital
would naturally not be expected to as
sume risks involved.
Europe has been given to under
stand that it cannot expect any co
operation from the United States un
til its disarms and does something for
itself. That is the American govern
ment's policy and it has the support
of the American people—save those
who are playing politics.
It is Europe's move and that move
must be made.
It is to be hoped that the railroad
heads will see fit to place a work train
and proper machinery on this end oi
the road, to be used in case of such
emergencies as the present one. A
ditcher, work train, bunk cars and
facilities for boarding the crew near
their work should be kept on hand at
all times. The men are now allowed
ten hours per day and work six, four
hours being taken up in going and
coming to and from their work.
WORKMEN LAID OFF
It is reported today that forty men
were laid off on the railroad for lack
of work.
HELP THE FOREIGNER
Every alien in Alaska should be
taught that he is fortunate in being
allowed the privilege of becoming a
citizen of the United States of Amer
ica. We blame the foreigner for his
views, forgetting that as soon as he is
admitted to Ellis Island our interest in
him ceases and lie is allowed to shift
for himself, imbibing radicalism and
distorted ideas from associates whc
have been in the country a longer pe
riod. Is it any wonder that the Red
the I. W. W.. the communist and tht
Bolshevik find fertile soil to plant
their pernicious doctrine. Every li
brary table in every bunkhouse in ev
erv camp in Alaska should have good
reading matter for the alien. Insteat
every table is piled high with Soviet
and I. W. literature, printed propa
ganda that appeals to the passions o
the ignorant. The foreigner is ex
ploited until he is worn out, and a cry
goes up for unrestricted immigration
If you hire a man be sure he is 10(
per cent American in his ideas and
beliefs. His speech does not matter
What the nation, anu especially
Alaska needs is not less immigration
but more of it. But we want desira
ble immigrants, who can be assimil
lated in our melting pot of nationali
I ties, and who instead of attempting tc
mold the country of their adoption tc
! their ideas, will accept ours. Alaska
has fine land enough to make homes
j for ten million people, who could live
in comfort and ease from their toil.

Another Bible story has gone wrong.
When Noah started off on his long
voyage in company with his floating
menagerie it had rained forty days
and forty nights, and the world was
covered with water. Up to date in
Seward it has rained 60 days and
nights and the water is not yet up to
our knees.
“We ought to do something to help
Europ eand we have done nothing,”
says Senator Underwood, avowed can
didate for president. That is the
chant of the majority of the critics
of our foreign policy. But they fail to
say what we should do.

KNIK RIVER MOUTH WAS
GREATLY WIDENED BY FLOOD
Knik river above Anchorage is said
| to be pouring a tremendous volume ot
water into Knik glacier lake with the
! result that the district is flooded for
miles around, says the Anchorage
Times. Knik glacier lake lies about 35
miles from Matanuska and ordinarily
is 22 miles long, 7 miles wide and
