ALASKA CIRCULATION GUAWANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION WHAT IS BEHIND THE SANCTUARY MOVE? The exuberance with which Sportsman and Author Holzworth goes about his efforts to have | Admiralty Island declared to bz a sanctuary for | brown and grizzly bears naturally leads to the question, Why? Two or three years ago, Author Stewart Edward White undertook to promote a| reservation of Chichogof and Admiralty Islands, or | either one, for a similar purpose. It is significant that Mr. Holzworth did not coms to his assistance. About the same time the latter’s book, Grizzly Bears of Alaska, was published in which was an account of his two hunting and picture making ex- peditions to Admiralty Island. In that publication | he apparently found no depletion of bears on the island. He did not then suggest that it would be | advisable to make the island a bear sanctuary. He | saw and photographed a lot of bears but he didn't find, or if he did he didn't report, any shortage of the animals. Last year, and pecunar in its relation to Mr. Holzworth’s recent activities, the American Paper and Pulp Association demanded in a letter to| President Hoover that the Forest Service cease its | efforts to open up Southast Alaska’s forests to devel- | opment. It asked for the cancellation of the Limber} contracts held by George T. Cameron and associates | in this vicinity, which embracé large holdings on Admiralty Island and lesser ones on Chichagof | Island. The President naturally referred the de- mand to the Department of Agriculture, and Secre- | tary Hyde properly rdjécted| thq d¢mands. T, Immediately on the heels of ‘this incident, JMr. Holzworth began his campaign for the reservation of Admiralty Island, although he had not joined | Author White’s movement for the same thing, and | has not seen fit to ask for it in his own book. Maybe he is not connected in anyway with the American Paper and Pulp Association. Maybe he is sincere in his efforts to give Alaska to the bears. | But his concersion scems to be too recent to give him standing as an advocate or leader of credit. BEATING HARD TIMES. | The California citrus growers last year showed ~ THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, JAN. 22, 1932. What Is true” in indistry is likewise true in Government expenses. Government officers and em- ployees had their rates of compensation raised as industrial rates advanced. Now as the latter decline concurrently with the le2ssened living cost, it is no more than equitable that the former shall be sim- ilarly adjusted. Of course, those who are affected will view it as distasteful, but they will be better advised to yield gracefully than to undertake to op- pose the cut when every important private enter- prise is doing the same thing. The important thing to be done is to provide work for those who need it, rather than to peg salaries and wages of those who are fortunate enough to have jobs. An English woman wants to make men perfect. Herztofore, we suppose “making” them has been the main idea. The announcement made in Congress by Chair- man O'Connor of the United States Shipping Board that liquor is sold on American vessels outside of the 12-mile limit ought to stimulate business for them. The Raskob Letter. (New York World-Telegram.) Shall the national Democracy go to pieces on the great issue of Prohibition? Or shall the Democratic Party preserve its unity and its strength not by dodging the issue but by |finding a common ground upon which all Demo- crats can stand together in dealing with it? These questions underlie every word of Chairman Raskob's letter to the members of the Democratic National Committee. That letter is the fullest, frankest recognition politics has yet accorded a plain fruth that has become steadily more apparent to thoughtful Ameri- cans of all parties:— A genuine, deep-seated national issus—and Pro- hibition is such an issue if there ever was one— is no respecter of party lines. On the contrary, until it is disposed of such an issue will go on ruthlessly disrupting parties, confusing and displac- ing other issues, destroying party harmony, ham- stringing party strength. It is irrepressible. It is beyond the control of any ont party because it cuts across all parties. The only way a party can deal with such an issue without splitting on it is to hand it straight M. COCHRANE RECOVERING ~HIS HEALTH Athletic’s Catcl’;er Was Very Sick Man Dur- ing Last Season By ABE KEMP SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.—A nervous wreck caught every game for the Philadelphia Athletics in the last world’s series against the St. Louis Cardinals with only a few friends suspecting. The nervous wreck was Mickey Cochrane. One month with only snatches of sleep. One month with hideous night- mares. One month with enervating night sweats. One month of troubled dreams in which myriads of base run- ners were running wild and Coch- rane impotent to stop them. One month during which food nauseated him. That is only part of the story that Cochrane told me as the Taiyo Maru with its precious cargo of major league stars slowly edged her way to the dock here a few weeks ago. Few Suspected “A few suspected I was sick,” narrated Cochrane. “There had been rumors that I suffered a ner- vous breakdown, but none knew Just how sick T was and I did not want them to know.” Cochrane is and has been the motor influence of the American league champions. back to the people for their broad consideration and action. And Mr. Raskob thinks he has found a method of doing this upon which all Democrats, wet and dry, can agree. For no Democrat true to the fundamental principles of his party can deny the right of thepeople to make a national ex- periment—or to reconsider and modify it in the light of its results. Mr. Raskob’s proposed Democratic plank would have Congress give the people of the United States opportunity to vote directly (by referendum) whether they wish the Eighteenth Amendment to stand as |it is or whether they would amend it to permit any State to take over “complete control of the manu- facture, transportation, importation and sale of in- toxicating beverag:s within its own territory,” pro- vided the State's plan of liquor control is approved by its people in a State-wide referendum. Obviously the people of the thirty-six States must first ratify the proposed constitutional amendment amending the Eighteenth. ‘Will this avoidance of direct repeal satisfy dry Democrats? If it does, wet Democrats might be willing to forego their demand for any four-square party declaration in favor of out and out repeal. At this stage neither drys nor wets can afford to say they have no faith in a popular test. | Wihetier 1t Sugceeds, or not, we cannot but sym- pathize with this effort to hold the Democratic Party intact and true to its traditions without either minimizing or dodging the essentially non-political issue which has so bedevilled American politics. Between the extremists at either end of the Prohibition question there is a great and ever grow- |ing middle body of Americans, irrespective of party, who have made up their minds there must be a change in present Prohibition law and who are not adverse to rational compromise. In this great middle body is the nation's best hope. The Raskob plan would tend to bring the Democratic Party into this temperate middle zone, where temperate wets and temperate drys can get together. There is plenty of time for Democrats to mull what can be done by co-operative marketing and jover the proposed plank. What it says between the advertising. And they proved anew the truth of lines is this:— the assertion that persistent and intelligent adver- tising backed by good merchandise produces results. Last year was the worst from a general business standpoint in modern times, in the United States as well as in the rest of the world. Business everywhere, faced with restricted buying power, was itself curtailed greatly. The citrus growers produced a crop 48 per cent larger than that of 1930. They were confronted with the problem of moving it, placing it upon markets that were the weakest in many years. They solved their problem by co-operative marketing and | advertising their wares so extensively that a greab]y] increased demand was developed among the Ameri-“ can pecple for California oranges, lemons and even | grapefruit. The result in dollars and cents was§ highly gratifying. The growers received $99,500,000 | for their 1931 crop, from which shipments aggregat- ing 83,000 cars were made. Last season, records show, the people of the| United States consumed 167,000 cars of citrus fruits, | as compared to 113,000 the year before. The con-| sumption even exceeded that of the peak season; of 1928-29, which aggregated 158,000 cars. Adver- tising was the big factor in this achievement. Al- though conditions were inauspicious, the growers appropriated more money for advertising last year | than ever before in their history. In fact, since this industry adopted its co-operative marketing policy, it has expended $15,000,000 for that activity alone. California’s citrus fruits last season had a de- livered value of $145,261,005. The fruit growers ex- ~ changes of the State paid to railroads the sum of $45,740,286 for transporting the fruit. Thus the " benefits of the citrus crop were spread much wider | than in the ranks of the -ndustry itself. " The conclusion is obvious—if you have the goods sell and the prices to move it, the right sort advertising will accomplish the desired result. GOVERNMENT WORKERS SHOULD : YIELD GRACEFULLY. " President Hoover has let it be known he is op- to reduction of Federal salaries which is d by the bill recently introduced by Senator view of the President’s admonitions some industrial leaders, to employers of ‘wages, is the ouly position You can't make the Democratic Party wholly wet or wholly dry. You can’t shelve issue. There- fore put the issue straight into hands of the people and maintain the front of Democracy un- broken. A party leader's try? Maybe. But based on solid truth as well as politics. The Obvious Moral, (New York Herald Tribuns.) If any Republican can miss the significance of the result in the First New Hampshire Congress District, he must be blind or dreaming. The effects of the economic tide are still running strong. against the Administration. When #to these influences is added the mounting wrath of the wets, the case is hopeless. The sooner the mational leaders go to work to remove the wet and dry issue from the 1932 cam- |paign the better for the party. It cuts across Re- publican lines precisely as it cuts across Democratic. A referendum plank should be the aim of every Republican leader precisely as it is the aim of Mr. Raskob and his allies. A mon-partisan solution of the issue is as sound politics as it is sound Ameri- canism, There are economic issues of the first rank to be met in November, 1932. In the Longworth dis- trict in Ohio, with the Prohibition issue eliminated by the fact that both candidates were wet, the Re- publicans fought a successful fight and won handily In every district where the result has been com- promised by the naming of a dry, candidate, the party has lost. B The party plainly faces the hardest kind of fight in the coming election, It needs the strongest political direction at the head of its mational com- |mittee. It must refuse to compromise the able {leadership of Mr. Hoover in the economic field by supponting the beaten cause of the drys. The ob- vious moral of the New Hampshire result cannot be too soon taken to heart or too effectively acted upon. If Representative Cook really is distressed about the Republican Party's reputation for dryness and wishes to prove that it isn't true, why doesnt he just take the public into his confidence and let everybody see how wet Chairman Fess is?—(Buffalo Courier-Express.) If, as Mr. Firestone thinks, the business defla- tion is a blessing in disguise, it is one of the best little disguises that ever fooled anybody.—(In- dianapolis News.) ‘take.
