L0OS ANGELES'S GROWTH. The 1930 census returns have approximately jusi- | fied the tremendous claims of Los Angeles for POPU-|ypon the mind of the sensitive and superstitious,|| Wednesday, Friday and lation gains. She has considerably more than| doubled in the last ten years. In 1920 the census gave that place a population of 576,673. The enum- eration just concluded places it 1,231,730—show- ing a gain of 655,057. No other large city has even approached such growth. Seattle’s gain in the same period was I than 15 per cent, and San Fran- cisco’s about 25 per cent. Portland gained about 16 per cent. Los Angeles's gain was 113.95 per cent. WHITE IS UNREPENTANT. In a letter to the Editor of the Saturday Evening Post, and appearing in that magazine of June 7,| Stewart Edward White pleads technical guilt to having mis-stated the facts when he charged, in/ an earlier Post article, that all protection had been removed from the Alaskan brown bear which was .« faced by extinction on that account. Seeking to alibi himself, Mr. White takes the position that for all pracaical purposes, his original statements hold good; that the protection accorded the brown bear is to all intents worthless; that to be worthwhile such islands as Kodiak, Chichagof, Baranof and Admiralty should be put on the protected list. What are the facts? there are variously located mainland and island areas, aggregating some 65,000 square miles in which protection is guaranteed to brown bears. Of that total, 15000 square miles, in round figures, are absolute sanctuary. This includes Mt. McKinley National Park, Sitka National Monument, Glacier Bay National Monument, Katmai National Monu- ment and the Aleutian Islands reserve. The other 50,000 square miles comprise the Alaska Peninsula, Cook Inlet, Kenai Peninsula, Shuyak, Hawkins, Hinchinbrook, Montague, Yakobi and Kruzof Islands. In these areas, residents and duly licensed non- residents alike may kill as many as two bears each during the season from September 1 to June 20. In the other regions of the Territory where the brown bear is found, residents may kill the animals at any season of the year, but non-resi- sdent hunters can only take them between September 1 and June 20. Clearly then, Mr, White's position is untenable. When the brown bear is protected over such a great range of country, there is no possible danger of any serious inroads being made on its numbers. The greatest bear country in the Territory, the Alaska Penonbula, is embraced within the protected area. There, alone, are thousands of square miles where hunting it really a sport because of the nature of terrain that must be hunted over. Even if protection were limited to that district, and open hunting permitted throughout every year in all other areas, that would be an adequate provision |, against extermination of the species. Of course, it wouldn't satisfy Mr. White. There comes a conviction, after perusing his several Al- | aska articles appearing during the past year, that nothing short of permitting him to fix regulations to suit himself governing Alaska game and fish- eries, open and close seasons, repeal legislation and make more, will be satisfactory to him. His favorite argument is: “The buffalo have disappeared; next will go the brown bear.” What if the buffalo did vanish? On every acre of valley and plain that once sustained buffalo, wheat is being grown to Ieed the hungry of the world; cattle and hogs are being raised; sheep graze; and a great civilization has erected itself The buffalo has not vanished. He was saved from extinction at a not inconsiderable cost. And today the Federal Government is begging for someone to take the surplus animals off its hands and can't find enough takers to relieve the situa- tion. What if the brown bear does go, except as a natural curlosity maintained in regions where he is accessible to those interested in such relics of a more primitive age?

Surely that should content the most conservationist.

In this case there is no prayer, | but the document reaches each recipient with the| familiar assurance that he will have “bad luck” if| [ne breaks the “chain,” “good luck” if he sends it| lon to nine other persons. These stupid concoctions | |with their vague threats have been known to prey |but the special feature about the present example is| }the impudent list of names which are said to hnvn‘ assisted at its circulation. “Bernard Shaw” is said| |to have sent it on to somebody, and there follow | other items in its alleged progress like “Henry| Ford to Colonel Lindbergh,” “Aristide Briand to, ‘Rmnsny MacDonald,” “Ramsay MacDonald to David, | Windsor"—which presumably means the Prince of | Wales and is an indication of the scheme’s American origin. At the bottom are the names of more recent and less distinguished transmitters, and these are | probably real names. The motive of the inventor |of this nuisance is clear. To the influenee of super-| lsnuon he wished to add the appeal to snobbery; he has argued that the simple and obscure into uhose hands this precious document falls might say ! |to themselves, “Well, luck or no luck, here’s a |chance to put myself on the same passenger list (as Ramsay MacDonald and ‘David Windsor.'"”| "rhere is, however, a much easier way of achieving ‘parity” with the eminent than by copying this |silly list out nine times. Anyone who receives this |document and is doubtful what to do about it should ask himself one question: “What would |an eminent person do with a thing like this?” | The answer is obvious: “Put it firmly in the fire.” pols gy E i A Crisis in the War. ‘ | (New York Herald Tribune.) | A fairly large and representative group of Am-| |ericans has expressed its views on the question of | Prohibition (day evening, The testimony has been reported ani|gp— IS ACQUITTED, © Froressiovar_J)| BRIBE GHARGE FFiclone W Albrecht | PHYSIOTHERAPY Massage, Electricity, Infra Red LOS ANGELES, Cal, Junc 9.-.1 Rov, Medical Gymnastics.

The time has come when it is no longer advis- able to split hairs, to score debating points, to make |sweeping generalizations on the basis of a few facts.

The question involves the very fundamentals on! which our democracy was founded. It is too much to expect opponents and proponents to study con- |ditions impersonally; but if they will strive to main- tain some spirit of fairness and forbearance the final solution will be reached much more quickly, the period of reconstruction will be shorter. If many things are confused, obscure, it is plain that we are in a decisive battle, the result of which may be undetermined for a considerable period, but once it is the truce will last for more "Umn one generation at least. A Fine Selection. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) President Hoover's selection of Hanford McNider, | former Assistant Secretary of War and exceptionally popular Commander of the American Legion, to be | Minister to Canada deservedly should meet with the ardent approval of all Americans who loyally are devoted to this Government and its traditional friendly relationship with the great Dominion at| |the north. McNider not only should receive a warm wel- come at Ottawa because of his splendid record as a citizen and soldier, but also because of his| linterest in and expert ability in connection with the development of inland waterways. He is an able advocate of the practical early evolution of the St. Lawrence waterway as a distinguished great commercial artery of transportation of imverial nr- portions. America and Canada are at ptesen.l negotiating to that end, and Colonel McNider may | be trusted to do his part to assist in the culminn- tion of an enterprise so potentially important both to' Canada and the United States, and, for tna. matter, to the world.
