Morgan of the Dej ment of Commerce, writing to the local Chamb:r of Commerce, makes the positive statement . that there are no net profits from the sealing operations carried on by the Federal Government, through the United States Bureau of Fisheries, on the Pribilof Islands. To prove his contention he quotes figures for expenditures and receipts for the fiscal years, 1930 and 1931. As far as these go, undoubtedly he is Acting Secretary furnished to him by the Bureau of Fisheries. They should be correct, and probably no item of exp:ndi- ture was overlooked when they were compiled. They | sive both receipts of $5,251,879.31 and expenditures DI $2,571,057.40, or a net profit of $2,680,821.91. Summarizing them, the Governor wrote in his| report as follows: It will be noted from the tforegoing report 11 that in the 13 yvears from 1918 to 1930, in- clusive, a net profit of $2.680,821.91 has be:n made as a result of the activities at the ribilof Islands, Alaska. It must be remem- bered that this profit has been made in the | . face of the fact that in recent years there ; have been heavy expenditures for the con- struction of roads, replacement of all na- tive dwellings with modern buildings, for the most part of concrete, and the carrying out of an otherwise large reconstruction program, including the erection of ware- houses, shops, barns and other structures, as well as the erection of new salt houses to handle the larger take of: sealskins. Now as to the specific fiscal year of 1930. Mr. Morgan gives the receipts as being $273991, and ex- penditures, $349.268.41, leaving a deficit of $75.- 27741. These are exactly the same figures that Gov. Parks used in his report quoted heretofore. But the latter did not stop there. He gave the speci- fic reason for the deficit as follows “The substantial increase in expenditures for the fiscal year 1930 is entirely accountad for by the construction of a tender at a cost of upward of $140,000 for the Pribilof Islands to replace one no longer suitable for the work and which will hereafter be used in fisheries patrol work.” Last year, that is for the fiscal year >nding June 30, 1931, the expenditures were $266,- 019.25, considerably smaller than in 1930, but still many thousands of dollars above the 13-year average between 1918 and 1930 which was $197,773.60. The receipts were only $96,248.65, as compared to a 13- year average of $403,990.71. The cause of the excess of expenditures over the average cannot be assigned until the Department of Commerce makes its de- tailed report on its operations at the Pribilofs, but the loss in receipts is probably the result of post- ponement of the sale of skins taken during the year. This take was the largest up to that time in the history of the Government's control of the szal herds, and is exceeded only by the take made late this summer. Since 1929, of course, the reve- nues have suffered from the current depression, which Mr. Morgan's own department has assured us is but temporary, and, therefor2, it is to be cxpected that the effects will soon pass away. Undoubtedly the seals will continue to pay their way. In four of the 13 years covered in Gov. Parks's report for 1930, there were deficits varying from a few hundred dollars to as high as $94,375.39. If the Department of Commerce is sincere in its assumption that no more profits can be expected by the public from the enormous seal herds, now numbering over 1,000,000 animals, and with the take approaching 50,000 annually, then it is high time that Alaska demand a Congressional investi- | gation of the administration of the Pribilofs. In the face of the records of the Departm:nt of Commerce, his statement is astounding the But most astounding part of Mr. Morgan's letter statement that after a “careful con- sideration” of the entire matter, and in view of the fact that the expenses of Pribilof Islands and of the protection “of their resources are borne by the Federal Government, NO SOUND REASONS APPEAR TO EXIST AS TO WHY ANY FUNDS DERIVED FROM THIS THE TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT OF ALASKA." From a lesser official this assertion would be met with amusement, but coming from the Acting Sec- retary, th: head of the Department of Commerce, | it cannot be accepted as other than an official declaration of a policy of the Administration of which he is a member. { And it is a view that Alaska must combat. It is contrary ‘to the whole philosophy of American territorial government. It is not borne out by . either precept or practice. Here is a resource that | 15 indigenous to the Territory. It is administered, controlled, developed, workgd, and marketed by the | which it has | avers | fours correct. But these figures do not establish his asser- tion that is an unprofitable industry Gov.

(New York World-Telegram.) aftermath of “Washington and “Mirrors of 1932,” recent anonymous books that set on edge official nerves in the na- tion's capital:— Representativ: Sol Bloom, of New York, says he will introduce next session a bill to make it pos- |sible for the Federal Government to deny copyright !to anonymous writers. Mr. Bloom has not read two books above mentioned. But he sees a menace in such publications. He would except un- signed articles and editorials in newspapers, because newspapers carry the names of responsible editors and publishers. But his ban would apply to anony- mous articles in magazines no less than to books. Well, our advice to Mr. Bloom would be to cool We have no defense for anony- mity that co mere scurrility and lying Nor were th2 two books complained of in that class. But a blanket indictment against all anonymity would hit some famous classies not only literature but in political polemics as well. Take, for instance, the celebrated ‘Letters of published in series in the London Public in pure | Advertiser and later in book form in the years from 1769 to 1772. Junius pitched into the members of the Duke of Grafton's Ministry with personalities and abuse more mordant than anything the “Wash- ington Merry-Go-'Round” and the “Mirrows” can show. The Junius letters were more than malicious; they were malignant. They created, however, an encrmous stir both by their style and by their substance. They have been reprinted in almost countless editions. Yet to this day it is not ab- solutely certain who Junius was. Sir Philip Francis is the best guess. But Burke, Chatham, Chester- field and forty others were “suspected.” What about that great defense of our own Fed- eral Constitution—the Federalist? Hamilton, Madi- son and Jay published their famous Federalist es- says anonymously. The papers, appearing in 1787 and 1788, were signed *“Citizen of New York” and “Publius.” Even now we cannot definitely fix the authorship of every one of the eighty-five articles. Yet the influence of these anonymous essays in securing the ratification of the Constitution by the States was enormous. And the Federalist remains a monument of political philosophy and political persuasion Pascal's “Provincial Letters,” immortal models of controversial irony in attacking outworn dogma, were first published without the real author’s name. Milton’s great pamphlet on “Divorce” was printed anonymous, and even the “Areopagitica,” his historic plea for frezdom of the press, though it bore his name, was deliberately published “unlicensed and unregistered.” The anonymous are not always disreputable. Their purpose is not always despicable. Nor is their achievement always slight. “The mystery of Junius tance,” wrote Junius himself. in it We suggest that Representative Bloom look over some of the classics we have mentioned and go increases his impor- There is something deeper into the matter of anonymity before he drafts his bill Sir Thomas Lipton.
