“ONE TOUCH OF NATURE”
Contrasts between the purely human equation and
the academic dogma of politics are offered in the spon
taneous response of two nations to the call for aid in
the searcli for Colonel Eielson and Mechanician Bor
land.
And by the same action the question of recognition
of the Soviet government of Russia draws nearer to a
conclusion, if not in actuality at the present time thru
the actions of Secretary Wilbur and Senator Borah,
chairman of the foreign relations committee.
As in all matters of great moment, it only requires
a touch of nature to elicit the best in nation' and indi
vidual. There was not hesitancy, or lengthy abstract
discussion when Canada’s Knights of the etheral seas
were requested to join in the search. Neither did Soviet
Russia halt to discuss the political aspect of the situa
tion. Like our brother nation of the North, she offered
her best, in the person of Captain Shestakov, the intripid
air-trail blazer from Moscow to the United States.
Then Russia went a step further, a reward of $1,000
was posted for the man who found the lost aviators,
and called to her citizens to give their best efforts in
the rescue.
These men who are now preparing to brave the dan
gers of the Arctic and give their lives if necessary, are
worthy inspirations of the lines: “No greater love hath
any man than this that he lay dowm his life for a friend.”
Out of these combined acts of bravery will emerge
a deeper and more enduring bond of friendship, at pre
sent so maikedly expressed in the example offered by
Canada and the United States as one people save in
poiiiieal forms.
By the same token, the friendship engendered bet
ween the Russian members of the expedition, his Brit
ish compatriots and our own peerless conquerors of
the Arctic air lanes, will pave the way for a better un
derstanding and clarify the perspective of Russia’s as
pirations and demands for the right to work out her
own salvation, which, as shown by the action of Mos
cow,. embody within their purview the deeply human
sentiments denied her by those who would block her
progress to a successful solution of her political progress.
NEW WAR SECRETARY
General satisfaction has been expressed over the
appointment of Patrick Jay Hurley of Oklahoma as
Secretary of War, to succeed the lamented Secretary
Good.
Mr. Hurley is one of the few men to occupy this
important post who has seen actual military service,
he having risen to the rank of lieutenant-colonel in
France during the World War. He was assistant secre
tary under Secretary Good, so that his advancement is
a promotion in the government service.
After you decide to become a stockholder in an en
terprise have the courage in your conviction and stick
to the finish. That is the way success is won in mining.
