ASKA CIRGULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ALASEA AN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION | RECOGNITION OF SOVIET UNION. History repeats itself. Russian recognition recalls the fact that following our own American revolu- tion, the young and rebellious United States were kept beyond the pale of diplomatic recognition for thirty-three years by the Russian rulers. “The great Empress Catherine,” writes Walter Duranty, New York Times Russian correspondent, “thought the American Republic was terrible—a people who dared challenge the divine right of Kings; who separated the church from the State, and who had the insolence to declare that all men were born free and equal—it was pure ‘bolshevism,’ if her Imperial Highness had known the word.” It was not until 1807 that Czar Alexander I found it useful and expedient to recognize us. The period from 1807 to 1917 was marked by good feeling and cooperation between the two coun- tries. What President Roosevelt in his recent note to the Soviet calls “the present abnormal relations” grew out of the fall of Czarist Russia and may be summed up as follows: March, 1917: Abdication of Czar Nicholas II. succeeded by the Kerensky Government. United States credits amounting to about $188,000,000 were extended the new regime. Nov. 1917: Second revolution and es- tablishment of present form of government Repudiation of foreign debts contracted by Kerensky regime. Wilson refused to com- municate with the revolutionary government and later sent United States troops, in com- pany with French, British and Japanese soldiers “to protect allied interests” in Si- beria. 1920: Republican landslide initiated policy of strong opposition to Russian recognition, broken only by permission, under the Hoover Administration, for trade relations without official intercourse. 1930: Secretary of State Stimson an- nounced that the United States would not recognize Russia until it acknowledged its debts, guaranteed compensation to Americans for property confiscation, and quit all revo- lutionary propaganda. Oct, 1933: President Roosevelt, without committing himself to formal recognition as such, but taking the stand that “difficulties between great nations can be removed only by frank and friendly conversations,” an- nounced that he would be glad to receive Soviet representatives. The Soviet accepted the invitation. Nov. 1933: Conferences held between Presi- dent Roosevelt and Commissar Litvinoff re- sulting in recognition and immediate naming of an Ambassador from the United States to Russia. Experts hold that existing volume of trade ex- change—American cotton, heavy machinery, fabri- cated steel, railroad equipment, tractors and automo- biles for Russian furs, pulpwood, sunflower seed oil, anthracite, manganese ore, lumber and wool carpet- ing—is capable of highly profitable expansion under the stabilized conditions of diplomatic recognition. Recognition is also viewed as oil upon the troubled waters of world politics and thus will become a general factor in world recovery and peace. NEWPAPER'S INDEPENDENCE. The death of Frank P. MacLennan, Editor of the Topeka State Journal recalls his editorial policy. ¥ - said: “I want my newspaper entirely free from political alliances. I want my readers to believe | When the St. Mary's Gaels and the Santa Clara | that any stand the State Journal takes is without selfish or personal interest.” He carried this policy to the personnel of his Once his City Editor expressed a desire to Years later a | paper. run for Sheriff of Shawnee County. linotype operator became ambitious to be Mayor of Topeka. Both were discharged, their employer explaining the paper must not be affiliated with any candidate for political office. Incidentally, both| ex-newspapermen were elected. MacLennan's spirit of complete independ- ence was carried into business as well as politics. No executive who shared in the shaping of the policies of his paper was permitted to own stock in a public utility. Though independent, his paper seldom remained | tral in politics or other controversial matters.| No high office, official or citizen was sacrosanct | to the outspoken publisher, and he fought to the finish for his convictions. “My ambition in life,” he once said, “is to be a good reporter. A good reporter is the salvation of the newspaper.” the Broncos meet, tradition must be upheld. This was done last Sunday afternoon at the annual football| game. Fists did fly. Erin Go Braugh. Oregon State is tackling the liquor control prob-| lem. A special session of the Legislature has con-| vened with that issue to be decided.

Some one has said money talks. money, talk louder. All right, Magic of “Gold!” (Seattle Post-Intelligencer.) Seattle again hears the thrilling words—“a ton of gold"—which launched the Alaskan gold rush. That expression vibrated across the country after the arrival of the steamer Portland in Seattle, July 17, 1897, with the first shipment of gold from the {Klondike. Overnight, Seattle's commercial aspect changed. Men, ships, supplies were quickly mobilized for a | hurried invasicn of the Alaskan treasure trove. | Now, thirty-six years later, the tendrils of com- Imerce and industry born then have developed into |deep-rooted businesses and fortunes. Excitement over gold subsided in the intervening, years into a steady flow of diversified commerce, with fishing ranking as the Territory’s major industry. But the magic of “Gold!” has again come to life. Gold prices have advanced more than 50 per cent in recent months as a result of abandonment of the gold standard and Government purchases of the {metal. More than a ton of gold, exceeding $750,000 in | |value, is on hand at the United States assay office in Seattle waiting for technicalities to be disposed | ‘of so that payment can be made to the producers. Most of this gold came from Alaska, to which | Seattle is the gateway. | And more is coming. | With the higher prices available, gold discoveries lare stimulated. New ficlds barred to prospectors lin the old days by difficulties of transportation are Inow accessible to the airplane. Submarginal producers under the old standard | of $20.67 per ounce are reopening under the incentive of higher prices. | As a result, Governor Troy of Alaska predicts a marked increase of Alaskan business. “Things are definitely better than they were a year ago,” the Governor commented in Seattle. “The fisheries situation is looking up, too, and that and mining are our main industries.” Revival of Alaskan business is quickly reflected in Seattle, which is, in effect, the commercial metropolis of the Northern Territory. “Grub-staking” of prospectors calls for supplies and materials here. Alaskan purchasing power circulates in Seattle trade channels. Hotels, stores, banks, transportation companies—all branches of business—benefit. Perhaps the new cycle in Alaska will have the |same enduring benefit for Seattle left by the (stirring days of '97 and '98. | | Prediction for Alaska. (Seattle Times.) | Prediction that the gold output of Alaska next year will reach a total value of $15000,000, seems entirely reasonable. In fact, with the metal 50 per icent above its “normal” value, the Territorial yield would reach that figure if no greater than the aver- age in ounces for the past few years. That the higher price will stimulate production is certain; in fact, the Northland has every reason to anticipate |a new era of auriferous activity. Seattle could ask |no better business prospect.

Prince Promoted BLOSSOM GETS FILM CONTRACT; WAS RUSH ACT On Stage for 22 Yeats, Success Finally Attain- | ed Screen Roles [ By ROBBIN COONS | HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Nov. 21— When anyone seeks a formula for long-continued success in the show eequuumees WOrld two ingre- dients of person-| ality stand out — enthusiasm and determination.. i Mary Pickford stayed at the top in the films be-| cause she pos- sessed both qual- ities. Now come Blossom Seeley| from the stage— from 22 years of| the stage — to BLOSSOM SEELEY an enthusiasm and determination | that might belong to a child start- | ing out to conquer the world. | Breezy, frank, engaging in per-| sonality, blond Blossom admits that | for the past three years she has| been concentrating on the hope of | getting into films. She was signed once for a role that didn't mater- | ialize, and her current opportun= ity, in “Broadway Through a Key- | hole,” came suddenly. | TROUPER She had a telephone call at 9| in the morning to come and sece| Darryl Zanuck, who had just seefh a previous test of her. She went into the studio, was rushed into wardrobe and make-up, and before she knew it, there she was on a sound stage, enacting a role. The| speed of it all did not faze her—! not Blossom Seeley after 22 years of facing audiences. | “When you're riding a pony to; win you know you've got to make him win and that's all there is to it,” she describes her reaction. | Now she has a contract, and she is determinedly serious when| she says: ‘ “I'd hate to be a failure. think I'd die if I were! mean T haven't ever failed.

THANKS BENNY Miss Seeley attributes the long-/| evity of her stage caresr to the| fact that she tried to keep up-to- date in entertaining, to wear smart| clothes, sing new songs, remember to “keep them interested"—and, more importantly, to Benny Fields, | her husband. | Benny and Blossom have been| married 14 years, working together | all that time. | “Benny,” she says, “always kept himself in the background, pushing| me forward so I'd get the spot- light.” ———,——— INSIDE TRACK® PROVIDED FOR UNITED STATES Col. Lindbergh’s Flights Give America Lead in Arctic Lanes COPENHAGEN, Nov. 21.—Amer- jca has “the inside track” in plans for establishing a trans-Atlantic airline connecting the United| States and Europe by the north- ern route, because of missionary work by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. This point was brought out by the administration of Greenland following reports in the London press that the British had provis- ional plans for a weekly 3érvice between Liverpool and Montreal. Americans Get Option The Danish Colonial authorities feel themselves morally bound to Pan-American Airways, the Amer- jean organization, which has been given an option by Greenland for bases there. “The Imperial Airways (the great British organization)” the governor said, “has not even dis- cussed with us the possibilities of using the Greeland link in a trans-Atlantic air route and, hav- ing promised the American com- pany represented by Col. Lind- bergh to consider granting a con- | cession to it we cannot permit Tmperial Airways making use of| Greenland. “Consequently, we cannot help the British before having conclud- | ed negotiations with the Ameri- cans. “A regular air route over Green- land cannot be carried through before careful investigations and technical organization. So far. the Americans are the only ones who have systematically inv gated conditions.” ROME—Crown Prince Humbert has been promoted to the rank of ivision General and given com- mand of the Naples Military zone.
