Christy Thomas, ‘General Manager of | the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, and Charles C.| Garland, representing the Tacoma Chamber of Com- | merce, announced that as the main object of their | current visits to the Territory. | The Seattle Chamber of Commerce has had an| active Alaska Bureau for many years. Charles D. Garfield, former Alaskan, has been Manager of that organization for some 10 years or mpre and has maintained close contact with Alaskan affairs. He has devoted a great deal of time and energy to the work and members of his Bureau have given him loyal support and valuable assistance. Mr{ Thomas’s | visitation ought to result in even closer relations | between Alaskan commercial organizations apd his own Chamber to their mutual benefit. It is a trite | saying that what promises prosperity and devel- opment of Alaska adds to Seattle’s material weagh. It is equally true. Tacoma, too, can benefit by lending an occasiona\ helping hand in this direction. Its Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Garland announced here, desires to organize an Alaska department if it is acceptable to Alaskans. Not only will there be no local objec- tions to such a step, it will be warmly welcomed. The Territory values the friendship of Tacoma as highly as that of Seattle and neither to the exclusion of the other. .Its trade relations with the forper are not as extensive as with the latter, but they are of material value and deserved 'to be fostered by closer contacts such as would be promoted by a special Chamber of Commerce department dealing solely with matters affecting Alaska. KA ASSISTANCE. this week two men TAXING THE PUBLIC FOR POLITICS. During the last days of ihic recent session of Congress, the daily cost of printing the Congressional Record averaged around $2,000. Much of the final rush was due to a feverish desire on the part of members of Congress to get political propaganda printed at Government expense. About 35 pages in each issue of the Record were given over to reprinting outside speeches, letters to and from constituents, addresses by eminent citizens and small type tables on everything from war debts to the costs of Canadian bungalow siding, the latter supporting the demand for a lumber tariff. Most of this matter had little if any bearing on questions before Congress. Senators and Representatives by unanimous con- sent can have anything printed in the Record—and do so. Anything printed in that journal can be re- printed and sent out as campaign literature under the Congressional franking privilege. Even poli- ticlans not in Congress may have their speeches inserted in the Record and sent out under the frank of some friendly Senator or Representative. This practice was roundly condemned by several Senators when an attempt was made to insert a political speech by Secretary of War Hurley in which he attacked Democratic Nominee Gov. Roosevelt. They pointed out that it cost the Government $58 a page to print the Record. When it is considered that one-third of that publication is devoted to matters other than the proceedings of Congress it can be seen that the taxpayers are paying a fairly heavy bill on .account of the politicians. Recent issues of the Record show a typical variety of material, including the opening campaign speech. of Secretary Mills at Boston, two pages at $116; letters and statements from lumbermen con- taining four pages of small type tabular matter showing Canadian lumber prices on every cut of building material; endless speeches and “extensions of remarks” on relief, the bonus, agriculture, Philip- pine Independence and numerous other topics. TOMATOES AVAILABLE IN VARIETY OF PACK Probably put up in greater quantity than any other fruit of vegetable, canned tomatoes and tomato products are available to buyers everywhere in a variety of qualities and packs, according to Dr W. B. White, Chief of the Federal Food and Drug Administration’s food control division. “Even so commonplace a product as canned tomatoes is put up in several styles,” says White. “There is a so-called solid pack which is often labeled ‘fancy solid pack tomatoes' or simply ‘fancy tomatoes,’ on the Pacific Coast. In their prepara- tion only carefuly peeled, cored, and trimmed whole tomatoes are placed in the tin, often with a small quantity of sugar or salt. The tomatoes are care- fully filled in by hand, and by gentle pressure suf- ficient juice is pressed out to cover the product. A more general! procedure for the great bulk of the tomato pack is to fill the container with whole or large pieces of pealed, cored, apd trimmed tomatoes, together with only suffitient drained juice from the prepared product to properly fill the container. “On the Pacific Coast the material undergoes little or no concentration.

Chancellor von Papen did not get a ‘re-| peal” of Article 231 of the Versailles Treaty, which the Germans have so bitterly protested on the ground that in it they were compelled under duress to declare themselves criminals . But does it mat-| ter? Was the article itself a declaration of morali responsibility for starting the war, or simply a legal responsibility for meeting its costs? It reads:| The Allied and Associated Governments, affirm and Germany accepts the responsi- bility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage to which the Allies and Associated Governments and their na- tionals have been subjected as a conse- quence of the war imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies. That the authors of the treaty constantly found a moral justification for their work in the theory of German guilt is scarcely to be questioned. In- deed, in their reply to the objections raised by Ger- many to the terms of the treaty they officially and explicity stated this with great emphasis. The war, they said, “was the greatest crime against humanity | ... that any nation calling itself civilized has ever| consciously committed,” and they brushed away every German protest with this moral argument. What they sought, however, to write it into the definite text of the treaty is less certain. The treaty did specifically arraign the Kaiser as the autyor of the war; but the Kaiser was a man who lcuull be held personally responsible, could be dealt with personally and then forgotten. To arraign a nation as a criminal was another and more dubious | proceeltng. M. Mantoux, repofter of the Supreme Council in 1919, has recently declared that in writing Article 231 “there was never a question of the origins of |war, nor ( a condemnation solemnly pronounced against Gemany . . . nor even of giving the sys- tem of repamtion a moral basls. . . . What they |desired was t¢ write into the treaty the theoretical principle of tle pecuniary responsibllity of Ger- many.” The ar¥cle would never have been written| had it been postble for the Allies to agree upon!| a definite reparathns figure; it was included simplyI to support whatevet claim should finally be assessed. It was natural hat the passions of the time should give it anothe interpretation, on both sides, and the tendency WA promoted by one of those |unhappy difficulties of\anguage that so often con- fuse such matters. Thogh “aggression” in French simply means a physicA attack, in English the word has taken on a flayr of ethical condemna- tion. And the Germans, @\ hastily translating the treaty text, unfortunately rendered the phrase “responsibility for causing all\he loss” into “respon- sibility as originators for allosses” The original text stated a physical fact; e German version shaded this into something imBying deliberate in- | tention. $ Article 231 thus came to be act\;ted in Germany las a statement of guilt. But thereis ample reason |for accepting M. Mantoux’s interprkation, one of |the strongest being that only in'th: one section on - reparations does any implicationof a moral verdict against Germany as a nation \pear. The |preamble, considering what the Allits ‘elieved at the time, is a monument of restraint. Y1t states {simply that the war “originated in the ‘{laration |of war by Austria-Hungary against Serbia \in the subsequent declarations of Germany and in e in- vasion of Belgium—facts all of which are hyond dispute and are given without moral implicdons, The authors of the treaty seem, in fact, to Nye been very careful not to base its terms on dangerous foundations of ethical verdicts. (e} the emotional tension of a post-war period ani an unlucky muddling of thought through the dif- ficulties of translation ever gave it another inter- pretation. | As They Sowed, So—! (Bremerton Searchlight.) | Tacoma and Seattle are outstanding examples in |Pacific Northwest of cities whose financial credit has been impaired by municipal waste and ex- travagance’ complicated by financial difficulties of i(hsasn-ous experiments in municipal business under- takings that have no proper place in the govern- mental plan. Seattle’s near-bankrupt condition with city em- ployees being paid in uncashable warrants while Mayor Dore struggles against a recaleitrant bloc in the City Council to cut governmental costs, is |so widely known as to need no further comment |here at this time. | But Tacoma's situation not so thoroughly under- |stood outside that city, comes to a head as the day |of reckoning dawns. Last Thursday bids were opened for a projected {issue of $500,000 of general obligation bonds, in order that the municipality might be placed on a cash basis for the remainder of 1932. No bids were received, except a tentative one for but $200,000, by prearrangement with the State of Washington. As of July 1, Tacoma’s general fund is overdrawn $364,274.24. When a city cannot find bidders for general obligation bonds its credits is at low ebb. When these to be feared impending explasions come in the fiscal affairs of the municipal owner- ship schemes, the credit of Seattle and Tacoma, the way things are going now, will approach the van- ishing point. Other communities in Washington, Oregon and Idaho should take warning before they permit them- selves to be led into similar difficulties, (, g Gambler’s Throw!

He grinned comfortably at Nan- cy, who looked adorable in her borrowed cook's costume. Then ne wandered to the door of the wrecked living room and surveyed the scene of desolation. In the reaction from the battle, it had been easy to forget the splintered walls. “Glad I wasn’'t here last night,” he observad “judiciously. “See you later.” “There,” declared Jerry, thought- fully, “goes a real man.” “He's had more fun the past few days,” stated Ashwood, smil- ing “than he’s had in ten years.” “If youll excuse me,” said Em- ory rising, “I'm going to find a desk and write a letter.” “I'll ease out and see if the boys have cleaned up properly,” decided the cripple. “Want to come along, you two?” He looked at Mallory and Martin so meaningly that they started guiltily, from their chairs and followed them preci- pitately. ‘Then, suddenly, Mallory returned “Here,” he said to Nancy, “give these to the minister. “Don't let him thank us.” “Look at these,” she murmered and passed them to Jerry. They were two checks for $25,- 000 each drawn simply to the or- der of “Dr. Titherington's church,” One was signed by Mallory and the other by Martin. “That fight last night seems to have restored Mallory to some- thing like normal” observed Jer- ry. “If it has done as much for Hamilton, we'll have a lot to be tkankful for. “The minister has finally agreed,” said Nancy, “that if Hamilton vikes up in his right mind nobody to tell him about Williams and the guard. Their deaths will be explained as part of the general fight last night.” Jerry fell silent, his thoughts wandering. In another few hours they would be on their way back to civilization. In another week, perhaps, this glorious girl would be back on Broadway, charming the hearts of audiences. “And now, young man, you are going to help me with the dishes she informed him, her eyes spark- ling at his. moody countenance. Jerry carried -a pile of dishes into the kitchen. “How dare you put them into {he water without scraping them!
