Mr H. ('. Strong, who. for a number

—.■ ■! «toamsh}n line.
"•«w interviewing Mr. Strong this
v-or-in" ho stated: “In view of the
o and testimony given at the
reeonf henvtn" I am of the opinion
• hat thp Bi'I introduced will not pass
unless it. is amended in several wavs
fa the first place, it has been auite
ft pari v shown that it is impossible for
the Government to show efficiency
and economy in management. Furth
ermore. Government ownership stifles
or docs away with personal and local
enterprises.”
Mr. Strong expresser the conviction
that. Alaska needs all of the capital it
can attract, as well as the encourage
ment of its own 'Citizens to practice
thrift and invest their earnings in
lr-'itimate Alaska enterprises. He ex
presses the belief that the freight and
passenger rates recently put in effect
to our ports will invite competition
which will he available just as soon as
suitable vessels for this trade are to
ho had. That this competition will act
noon Alaska rates in exactly the same
way as was experienced a number of
years ago when the Northland Steam
ship Co., of Ketchikan, was organized.
The competition of this company rv
iluced freight rates approximately fif
tv r>( - cent, and it has been estimated
that this action saved our town at
'east one hundred thusand dollars in
frei"ht charges. Mr. Strong agrees
t1 • t Aliska citizens should be encour

Monday is the day when Americans, millions of them, will
start a run on the hanks, not to draw their money out, but to
put itintogilt-edged securities, Victory Loan bonds, to start pay
ing their debt to the American boys who have died, fought and
won to keep “the home fires burning.” And now it’s up to those
at home to “pay the fiddler.”
TwentL ne months of our war with Germany cost the United
States $23 356.000,000, 'the treasury department calculates.
Although luge munitions and other contracts have been can
celled, disbursements have slackened off little. Manufacturers
are now presenting their bills and receiving pnvmeuts for ma
terials delivered months ago in the heat of the struggle.
Included in the enormous total of $26,356,000,000 is the sum
of $7,875,000,000 loaned to our Allies. When we began lending
to our Allies, the government contemplated turning over to them
$500,000,000 a month but actual loans ordinarily ran around
$380,000,000 monthly.
Of the total war bill about 116,000,000,000 have been raised so
far by the Liberty Loans. The fact that we have not coveted
our war debt is the reason for the Victory Loan. In other words
we haven’t paid for the job.
The cost of warto Great Britain was 140,610.000,000. Ger
many is out $38,750,000,000 exclusive of indemnities the Allies
may impose.
