ALASKA CIRCULATION GUAR/ANTE THAN THAT OF ANY OTHE" TO BE LARGER JBLICATION % i | SUGGESTS LAND EXCHANGE. A new solution for Canada's boundary prob- lem as it affects northern British ~Columbia is proposed by Arthur P. Woollacott, F. R. G. S in an article in the New Western Canada Tri bune, Vancouver, B. ( He evidently studied the final negotiations which determined the Brit- i ish Columbi laska boundary without finding any justification for the action of the tribunal and defends the Canadian claims which, Canada avers, were entirely ignored by the British 5 members of the commission which fixed the § present boundaries. g Of course, Canada feels aggrieved over the gettlement. On the other hand Americans, fam- ¥ fliar with the situation, are equally convinced ¢ that the adjustment of boundary difficulties was ) nothing that was not in accord with the justice| ! of the matter. And to argue either side at this { late day is futile, a mere academic discussion which can do nothing except re-open old wounds, revive animosities that are almost if mot entirely | forgotten. These things as water passed over the wheel, past recalling. » Mr. Woollacott contends that it is the Uni .-1’ States and not Canada that will eventually, and| that not in the not far distant future, will want a boundary readjustment. “Those who have an intimate knowledge of the matter and the situation geperally are not eager to re-open the| boundary question, realizing that sooner or later | the United States will want a doorway into| Alaska by the®way of Lynn Cdnal’ . he writes: “When that day comes, and it-ifmot far distant, of immediate development is contained. It would cold THE RICHARI SON ARTICLE. 4 In another column of The Empire today there appears a letter from Gen. Wilds P. Richardson relative to his article on Alaska that appeared in the January number of the Atlantic maga- zine. It is hig probable that the explanation 4 set up by him is unuecessary to a majority of Alaskans. Coertainly when the article is fully read and sauely considered in the light of the history of Alaskan developments, there is very little ground for unfriendly eritical comment. And there has been little of it. Adverse criticism connected with the article has been based on misquotations or comments in which only a por- tion of what Gen. Richardson wrote was used. As he points out in his letter, there was no way that he could prevent such use of it. Alaskans do not have to be told that he only had in mind advancement of their cause. No other Army officer ever gained their con- fidence and friendship as he did during a service in the Territory that covered some 20 years. In secking to point out to the public at large some of the causes of lack of progress here, of gression in some instances, has retro- in urging for Alaskans § "!'r;" the right, indubitably theirs, of handling their own affairs of purely local character and their ability to do so, Gen. Richardson has again proved his friendship for the North and that _he merits its own high regard for him. Articles fike his can do the North no harm in the long They will provoke serious thought and adding to the knowledge about the ifgh is now had in geueral through- th DAILY ALAbKA EMPIRE, I-RIDAY FLB 24 l‘)ZB | |Gen.

If the jingoes have their way, there will be nothing achieved by reopening this delicate subject, but rather it may be the friendly relations now exist- ing between the United States and Canada will be profoundly disturbed. It is something to be thnlklnl for that the whole world has made great strides in its ap- preciation of the virtues of arbitration since the day when Canada lost the panhandle territory. This much is evident by the fact that, even ¢n the American side of the Hme, some editors see virtue in British Columbia's proposal, Wlth pride we trnthlully to our service of convenis “We cannot carry water on both shoulders,” says Al Smith, addressing the Democratic Party,| |transit, but the objection to Al in some quarters is that * h he does not seem disposed to carry water on either »~—ll’hi].’u!vlnhiu Inquirer.)
