An Open Letter To
Joseph Stalin
DEAR JOE:
We want you to know that it's not the fault of your New York
agents they failed to obtain conics of Lou Jacobin's GUIDE TO
ALASKA. Goodness knows they tried hard enough, and you will,
after learning the facts, surely be merciful with them and not
order them down into your liquidation chamber at least, not
before breakfast.
For the past two years your faithful agents have repeatedly
tried to order, through our Los Angeles distribution office,
GUIDE TO ALASKA, to be mailed to Moscow, Russia, and
they even went so far as to send addressed labels so there would
be no chance of the books being sent to Moscow, Idaho. But it's
a fact (and we sav it with modest pride) that there is a great
demand for our lil' ol’ authentic handbook of the North, and it
seems we don't ever have enough copies to go around. As much
as we regret it, Joe, we were always fresh out of copies when
your valued orders came along. Just the other day your tenth
request came, and on the order form was this notation, appropri
ately circled in red, ‘ THIRD REQUEST—please send or notify us
why delivery cannot be made.”
Now, Joe, we’d gosh awful like to accommodate you but you
will no doubt understand that home customers come first. And
so, you'll have to somehow worry along, tough though it be,
without the benefit of the storehouse of info, contained in
GUIDE TO ALASKA. Sorry, old man. but these are the facts of I
the case. I
What we’d like to do. Joe. instead of sending our GUIDE TO
ALASKA to you. is to send you a select assortment of Red
sympathizers. However, this would create a lull in our manner
of life, because their departure would result in a return to our
peaceful and prosperous American way of living, and we'd miss
the turmoil and strife to which they have caused us to become
accustomed. Why, Joe, just think how monotonous it would be
were all your agents and dupes and fellow travelers to shake the
dust of America (which isn’t such a bad country after all) off
their feet and hie themselves to your promised land. Jumping
iceworms. Joe, there’d be no one left here to foment discontent,
to inspire maritime strikes and other strikes, stifling business and
industry; no one to raise general hell!
No, Joe, we reckon there is no way in which we can be of
service to you in your ambitious endeavor to plant Communism
in every nook and corner of this mundane sphere. And so, we
sign off with the feeling that you'll have to struggle along
without ’.he aid cf GUIDE TO ALASKA, the authentic hand
book of the North, the bible of the tourist Industry. It will be
tough guin’, we realize, Joe, but try to bear un under it.
Ycurs for bigger and better purges, confessions
and firing sguads at the Kremlin.

3-0 and Victoria defeated Van
conuver 5-3 in Pacific Coast Hockey
League action last night.
Goalie Doug Stevenson registered
his first shutout of the season at
Tacoma despite having 11 stitches
taken in his forehead after being
struck by a flying puck in the sec

At Victoria, Vancouver’s Canucks
built an early 2-0 lead but saw it
vanish just before the end of the
second period on Jack McIntyre’s
solo effort for Victoria. McIntyre
and Andy Strongman counted in
the final frame to offset a lone
Vancouver tally.
