GIRDING FOR ACTION. The swiftness with which the Administration forces moved to the support of Secretary Hoov- er's candidacy on the opening day of the Re- publican National Convention at Kansay City is probably due to the desire of the party’s responsible | leaders to avert any situation which might tend to divide its forces at the outset of what is| pretty generally realized will be a strenuous campaign. It may be that some of the oppon- ents to Hoover will cry “steamrcller tactics,” but| this charge can hardly be substantiated. To the very last minute the Administration withheld its hand, giving the Hoover opposition every oppor. tunity to develop strength. This it wholly failed | to do For weeks the field has united against the Secretary of Commerce. Favorite son has allied with those whose candidacy was bona fide. All of the combined strength at their command has been utilized but it fell far short of being suffi- cient to block the S of Commerce. To| have let the situation develop farther would have beem to invite the opening up of rifts with- in the party that could not have helped but mitigate against the waging of a succe ul cam- paign The Administration leaders acted the part of wisdom in promptly coming to the sup- port of Hoover before this happened. The Sec- retary is easily the most popular of any of the candidates in the field for the Republican nom- ination. The rank and file of the party in a large majority demanded his nomination. It seems now assured it will take place on the first ballot and it not the range of the » ble that it will be by acclamation before the rell call result can be announced. In nominating him, the Republican Party signifying in no ain terms its realization of the necessity to strip for a hard fight in the Fall election. Its leaders are taking it for granted without is uncer that the Democatic convention will nominate Gov. A’ Smith.

One of the reasons why the pulp and paper industry is so interested in the possibilities of the A fleld is contained in an article which recently appeared in ‘““The Timberman,” although the author did not make direct reference to this fact. The article was prepared by W. H. Gib- bons, in charge of the Forest Products Depart- ment of the U Forest Service and the part we have reference to is as follows: {he pulp and paper industry can no longer afford to locate in new regions cn the basis of existing stands of timber alone. It must inquire also into the productiveness and capacity of the soil and the timber species which can be grown. it follow the retreat- relatively large plant tend to bar mi- No longer can ing timber stands; investments alone now gratory habits. Pulp manufacture has in general FVollowed Ilumbering, and starting with diminishing supplies of timber has reduced them still further. A stage has now been reached where many pulp and paper mills in the East cither have no timber of their own or have very limited amounts, and few have permanent supplies. Through hard experience, the paper industry is learn- ing, if it has not already learned, the wisdom of managing timber properties on the basis of continuous and perman- ent supplies. In contracting for such a large area of pulp timber, those who now have opticns in Alaska are doing so, and have been permitted to do so, in order that their supply of timber may be perpetual. As rapldly as an area is logged off, it is to be re-planted so that when the entire stand under lease has been logged over once, new timber will have matured where the logging started. The species of timber grown in Alaska is rapid-growing, particularly under the climatic conditions. The heavy rainfall in Southeastern Alaska particularly making this possible. So, the next time you hear somebody croak- ing over the large amount of timber the Forest ity and as an cfficial of the Government that is|geryice offered under long leases, remember far above the ordin that will appeal to the|that it is this large area which ssures the thinking voter of all classes with more than usual|permanncy of the industry, the one thing in writing its plat- the Demo- Houston in its Dbest ms. force.

Dr. rence True Wilson and other ‘“bellowing bull of the churches, and calf-sized imitators throughout the have succeeded in too many instances bulldozing communicants and congregations into making churches annex of a corrupt political organization—the Anti- Saloon League. They have stirred smaller calibre preachers, mostly of the South but largely present at the Kansas City General Conference, into ac- tion in defense of their leadership of thought in sections where thinking is not deep. They have set out to run the United States as the big bosses—the ‘‘bellowing bull; ant it to be run and to make themselves little bosses in their little fields As long as the preachers remained out of pol- itics and contented themselves with religious and educational work, average men and most of the thinking men were content to support the churches and go their way, developing the coun- try and transacting its business without paying much attention to the controversy between science and theology, between modernism and fundamen- talism. But when many fundamentalists and theologians abandoned the field of the churches and entered politics, to dictate party plat- forms and nominations, to direct legislation and appointments to office, and to insist that the one Lewisohn, war on smugness, come from sought C country, in an 80 suming churches are wondering of purse strings are threatened. There are signs ‘of crumpling under the pressure of a furious which the pulp and paper people are most inter- ested. Incidentall the leases are such that when one area has been logged off and re- forested, a new contract providing for an in- crease in price for the new timber can be de- manded. The Forest Service is pursuing a safe and sane policy in the pulp leases of perpetual benefit to the Territory. Let the knockers' say what they will, ORI i\ L S Accord. .(New York Times.) the Kellogg-Briand negotiations renunciation of war seem to be on the of a successful conclusion, it is, perhaps, too premature to recall the principal steps which a meeting of minds has been attained. Mr. Kellogg, taking his cue from Mr. Briand's offer of a renunciation treaty between France and the United States, proposed that the treaty in- clude all the nations. M. Briand replied that it was all right with him, provided France was allowed to wage war in self-defense, Mr. Kellogg replied that this was a proposal which could not be entertained for a minute. Mr. Briand replied that he was willing to abandon the right to wage war in self-defense, |provided he was permitted to wage defensive }\\ arfare, Inasmuch for the verge not by Mr. Kellogg intimated that this was a good deal better but not yet good enough. Cvery nation, of course,. has the right to fight when unjustly attacked, but with the cost of white paper and ink what it is, what was the use of putting it into the treaty? At this point Great Britain intervened in the role of mediator between the Briand and Kellogg points of view, the right to wage defensive warfare should not be put into the treaty but should be set down on two separate sheets of paper to be mailed by special delivery from Paris to Washington |and from Washington to Paris. : This is the present state of negotiations. There may still come up the point whether the letters should go by special delivery or through the regular mails with an ordinary two-cent stamp; but it seems certain that after a month or two this difficulty, too, will be disposed of, The main thing to keep in mind is the enor- mous distance that has been traversed from the Briand proposal that defensive warfare be per- mitted to the present agreement that war in self-defense is always permissible. e Now is the time for candidates to have their pictures taken with cows, hay rakes, dirt farmers and other things they never saw cinnati Enquirer.) —— Two of those Texas factions, the Liberal are to comtinve as corner- Drys and the Wets might be called the Sippe: and the Soppers.— (Boston Herald.) s “ Observations of Oldest Inhabita ago show no Great Britain suggested that! betore.— (Cin- THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1928, Something He Gets No Chance nt Do to H_———'——“—_g}l Living Skeletons Il ONG '!
