ALASKA CIRCUL. THAN THA ONE THING IS AS Recent events have disclosed that, notwithstand- erstandings coming from the failure naval conference, permanent axon Nations is as nearly life. It is very plain to everybody now that never again will there be armed conflict between English speaking peoples. The visit of Premier MacDonald has emphasized this assur- ing the misund of the late Geneva peace among the Anglo-8i assured as anything in ance. Commenting upon this situation the Manchester Guardian, one of the most powerful of English papers, on the date of Mr. MacDonald’s arrival in the United States, said: Englishmen—and no doubt Americans—of all parties and opinions are willing to assert their belief that whatever wars there may yet be in the world never again can there be an Anglo-American war. If that is not only the fact but is known and felt to be the fact, just as the inhabitants of Surrey know it to be the fact that they will never be called upon to take up arms against the inhabitants of Sussex. * * * It was, of course, to enable Mr. MacDonald to make the best possible use of this national sen- timent of goodwill that the King has had the happy inspiration of sending him a message of good wishes on the eve of his departure. That is an unusual course, and would be an impossible one if Mr. Mac- Donald were setting out on an ordinary mission as to the purpose of which the least breath of doubt or criticism could come from any quarter. To have eliminated the possibility of war between the British Empire and the United States of America is to have eliminated it from a large part of the world. It is certain that the events of the British Pre- added to that assurance and made clearer its existence, but American and foundation than the advent in power of any man or party in either America or Britain, or upon what any man Really there has been practically no danger of war be- tween English speaking nations for a half cen- There has been angry talk at times, and there may be again, but the peoples understand and both are too fairly dis- posedl for differences to bring about war. The great benefit, therefore, of recent manifestations is not so much their guaranty of peace among Anglo Saxons but the fine effect the conversations have had on valuable, too, because it has served to mobilize the peaceful intentions mier’s visit in America British relations rest upon a firmer or group or party have done or could do. tury. each other too well other peoples. It has been and purposes of English speaking peoples in behal of the cause of peace everywhere. INSURGENTS ARE NOT FEARFUL. New York newspapers say the Insurgent Repub- lican Senators scoff at the suggestion of danger organization will attempt to read them out of the party or to over-tax itself They ironically call attention to the fact that mos' of them were Republican Party early in the Harding Administration, but the time quickly came when the regulars were glad to have their help in the organization of Congress.

On the other hand there are a few Republican Senators who would rather be in a minority in Congress and have a solid and unified organization that stands for Republican principles than to have a paper majority that is divided against itself Surprising as it might seem in view of the ac-' tivity of publishers it has been figured by those interested in the market that annual sales in Eng- |lish language books are about one book per Eng lish speaking persen. A two-automobile-a-family country ought to improve that record. gy remarked. President Hoover is certainly making a record as a good Quaker. He declares that an agreement| for naval reduction cannot provide for a navy too ow for the United States to meet it. The President |landed their planes on his roof, he !would have his front door steps up s against war. | Some of the big shots in the Association Against | Prohibition are urging the passage of Senator Sht‘p-:’ nard’s bill to make it a crime to purchase liquor. They believe that would be the last straw that !»\Uul(l break the camel's back. ) Virgin Islands Prospering. (New York Times.) The Virgin Islands are prospering in sp)‘Le of | the hurricane of September, 1928. There 1is no boom, but economic conditions are steadily im- proving. The report of Governor Evans for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1929, is a cheerful docu- ment. The charge of neglect preferred against the ! United States Government a few years ago is no longer tenable. Even the hurricane “was not,” says the Governor, “without certain attendant blessings.” The rain relieved a drought in St. Croix which was spoiling the sugar crop. The erection of new build- ings and repair of others “gave unprecedented em- ployment to artisans and laborers.” - And the Red Cross by its ministrations put the destitute on their feet and encouraged them to carry on. During the year St. Thomas, which had complained of a de- cline in the number of visiting ships, saw more in | the port than in any previons year. Eight thousand tons of sugar were exported; exports and imports increased, and the deposits in the local banks were | three times the total of 1917. The inhabitants, most of them speaking English, welcomed the flag of the United States, and after some dull years; J|are now better employed and have more of the comforts of life. “A natural outgrowth of the Americanization of | the islands” has been a higher standard of living with increased wages. Surveys of economic con- ditions by visiting committees of Congress revealed needs for which appropriations were later made. Isolation of the islands ceased with better ship; service. A radio news service brings them into| close relations with the United States. The natural | charm of the city of St. Thomas has been enhancedi by the planting of palms and flowering shrubs in| the parks, and in the island of St. Croix the Old | World towns of Christiansted and Fredericksted are| to be “beautified” in the same way. The Public| Health Service in the islands has been greatly im- proved. A good deal is being done for education. St. Thomas now has a Board of Education and| a Summer school for teachers. Scarcity of water, common to all the islands, damns and other works for impounding. This is a great help to the cattle industry. Governor Evans recommends more modern hotels in the Virgin Islands. They will be built if tourist are beautiful, but their attractions must be made known. This can be done if the Governor is heeded by Congress. For instance, he asks appropriations to open up the Virgin Islands by good roads, deepen the harbor of St. Thomas and establish an agri- cultural and industrial school. Spies at Virgima. (Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch.) In the news of the day it is said that prohibi- tion agents were sent to the game played Saturday at the University of Virginia to guard against any possible infraction of the Prohibition Law. We do not belong to the inner circle of moral reformers, but we believe this is a wrong policy. A government which must depend for its exist- ence on a spy system is not a very strong gov- f | ernment. Senator Sheppard wants to pass a law prohib- iting the purchase of intoxicating beverages and insists that there is rothing in the Constitution to forbid such legislation. He might even go further and point out that there is nothing in the Con- stitution which seems to interfere seriously with the manufacture, transportation and sale of intoxi- cating beverages—(New York Times.)

They went inside and it was just the strangest place they had ever seen. The owner did not seem to be around. At any rate, they wan- dered about. At the top of the house was the front hall, and the living room was there, too. The bedrooms were all down- stairs. Peggy particularly enjoyed wandering about. She adored houses and keeping house and play- ing house and everything that had to do with such places. The refreshments they had were quite delicious, but they got them in such an odd fashion.
