One of Alaska's best public servants and finest citizens left Alaska when Capt. George H. Whit- ney retired from the office of Inspector of Hulls and left 'with his wife for California. A gentle- than in all the term implies, a master of his profession, a faithful and efficient servant, an enterprising citizen with clear vision, Capt. Whitney has been one of the old guard that has kept things going so that the community is pre- pared for the coming of the better day that seems almost upon us. He takes with him to the . Bouth the affection and esteem of this entire eommunity and of friends in all sections of Alaska. May he live long and retdrn to spend most of ‘bhis days in Alaska. SMALL CAMPAIGN FUNDS. The Senate Presidential campaign expenditures investigating committee, after sending members ~ down to North Carolina, from whence had come reports of a Smith slush fund in action, found that there had been raised for the furtherance of the New York Governor's Presidential cam- paign in that State, §3,590, of which $2,500 had ' been contributed by a famous New York lawyer who was born in North Carolina. The rest of the A money, $1,090, had been put up by a dozen or more friends of Gov. Smith who reside in North Carolina.

York World.) The German Government has readiness to sign the Kellogg tre war “as an instrument of policy." that Germany should be the first powers to do this For the only international obligations which Germany has to take into ac- count are the covenant of the League and the Locarno Treaty. Unlike France, she has no mili- tary alliances. Unlike Great Britain, she has no implied alliances. Unlike Ita she has no dream. of empire. In signing the Kellogg pro- posal she renounces nothing which she has not already renounced. o Germany undoubtedly looks forward ulti- mately to scme kind of readjustment of the Pol- ish frentiers and to the restoration of some sort of colonial domain. But being disarmed and surrounded by an alliance of military powers, republican Germany has clearly renounced the idea of using war as an instrument of policy to attain her desires. She can sign the Kellogg treaty without equivocation She can sign it with the conviction that it cannot weaken and might strengthen her position in Europe. G t Britain bound to hesifate somewhat more than Germany, for her inter are world- wide and so complicated that Mr. Kellogg's pledge might have curious and embarrassing conse- quences in concrete cases. Nevertheless, the main drift of British policy pacifist, and in their hearts Britishers have never cared too much for the military obligations they have assumed on the Continent. In so far as the Kellogg y does not conflict with their explicit pledges, which it does not as interpreted by Lord Grey, they are bound to look with favor upon it. For one thing, it discountenances slightly the French and Ttalian systems of military alliances. For another, it involves the United States a bit in the moral responsibilities of world peace. The Kellogg proposal is one of those things which may do a little good and cannot do much harm to British interests For the l’"lvll(ll the acceptance logg’s proposal is difficult. For better or worse, France has entered into military alliances with a number of nations. She is compelled somehow to make it clear to these nations that in signing the Kellogg treaty she does not weaken her obligations to them. We may be fairly certain that in some fashion or other France will in- sist on making this point clear. There remains Italy, and in respect to Italy look forward with great curiosity to Mus- solini’s reply. The Duce has made several speeches in, the last few years which say quite plainly !lm( Fascist Italy regards war as a legitimate instrument of policy. It will be very interesting indeed to see whether Italy is willing publicly and solemnly to renounce war. Germany (New announced its ty renouncing It is logi of the great of Mr. Kel- we A King in Moscow. (Manchesrer Guardian.) ‘When Moscow enthusiastically resolved to receive King Amanullah of Afghanistan it did not stop to think of the difficulties that might be in the way. Class distinctiols may have been abolished in Russia but they still exist in Afghan- istan, and King Amanullah will still be a king although temporarily the guest of the proletar- ian State. Now kings, as Moscow realized, live in palaces or, at least, in ar.rtments dedicated specially to persons of their order. There were plenty of palaces in Moscow, but they have all been socialized into museums. There were no “royal apartments” in the Moscow hotels, so it was hastily resolved that one of the museums should be de-socialized for the occasion and made into a palace again. Alas! when the workers arrived—or so the story goes—they Tound that the socialization had gone a little too far. Near- ly all the costly appurtenances and treasures had disappeared, and the Soviet authorities are now faced with the prospect of unlooked-for trouble and expense before the house in the short time left can be made habitable for the royal visitor. THe Government is justly enraged at the failure of proletarian culture to realize that things in a museum are there to be seen by the masses and not to be confiscated to individual use. Such is the result of failing to live up to one's prin- ciples, for why should a king in Moscow fare better than a proletarian?
