One believes in the theory that the best national defense is a powerful, devastating attack in time of trouble, while the other holds to the belief that danger might well be avoided with proper legislation and procedure. The first group stands on the premise that attempt to legislate neutrality will only breed war, in that an open neutrality law would only invite belligerent nations to violate it in order to drag us into contlict. The latter group, of which President Roosevelt is one, feels that a neutral position backed by adequate legislation, and uniform to both sides of a foreign dispute, would strengthen our stand for peace. ! bound to respect. Alaska is our most conspicuous ex- It would seem. that if we want the peace we all shout about in deploring war we should as a nation take some steps to preserve it. That is the thought| back of the neutrality act. It is hardly logical or con- ristent to pose as a peace-loving, Christian nation and not take some steps toward preserving the peace we | now enjoy. The fact is, as Holy Writ says, that there will be “wars and wars and rumors of wars but the end is not yet” so long as there are human beings with the dispositions that most of us were born with, but thay should not deter us as a nation from attempting to stay free of embroilment with cannon and gun. We are not knuckling down to any nation by passing into law such a provision as section four of the proposed neutrality bill provides. It recites that after the President has proclaimed a state of war between belligerent countries, “It shall thereatter be unlawful for any person within the United States to purchase or sell bonds, securities, or other obligations of the government of any belligerent country, or of any. political subdivision thereof, or of apy person acting for or on behalf of such governmient, issued atter the date of such proclamation, or to make any loan or extend any credit to any such government or person.” ‘That is guarding against a situation arising where the army and navy might be called in as a collection agency for international bankers, and at the same time dealing a death blow at war itself. It costs money to wage war and when credit and loans are cut off, conflict is likely to end rapidly. True, as a nation we probably do not control the credit of the world, but when we restrict the large amount we could extend we certainly are doing something toward the cause of peace.

A withering attack is often the best defense, but there is no call for that kind of defense until all the sane and sensible meas- ures for avoiding war are exhausted. A sound neutrality bill such as President Roosevelt has proposed is such a measure. | ALASKA V| Emil Hurja, who has been writing in The Empire so entertainingly of the Philippine inaugural and his visits to foreign lands en route, points out in a recent article that the island of Ceylon with an area of but; 25,332 square miles supports a population of more than 5,000,000 people and has an annual export trade of around $65,000,000, represented mostly in tea, rubber and spices. Interesting contrast is the Territory of Alaska with an area of 600,000 square miles, a population of around 60,000, with an average export trade ranning between fifty and sixty million dollars annually, with tish, gold and furs as the primary products. When 60,000 persons in the Territory can produce nearly as much for export as can five million on the Isle of Ceylon, the vast possibilities for building the population of Alaska stands out in glaring array. The ;reat untapped resources of the northland, particularly nineral wealth, coupled with the potential future of umber, pulp, fur farming, general agriculture to al esser degree, and the constant fish harvest from the | sea, can support millions where but scattered thou- sands live today. The drive must ever be for population and ultimate statehood. Given people of the right metal, and the Territory can become the richest state in the Union. . CEYLO A Fair Request (Seattle Times) In his annual report to the secretary of the Interior, Gov. John W. Troy recommends the establishment ot {a full territorial form of government for Alaska. This recommendation, we believe, has been made by every governor of Alaska in every annual report for the past thirty-five years, and the whole procession ot Alaska’s voteless delegates to Congress have said much to the same effect. Alaska’s form of government is unique, with only inconsequential powers of home irule.

The recovery pe- riod has been long and the discomfort great. But the patient, remembering the dark days of the Hoover administration, should be grateful that he has pulled through the crisis and is safe on the road to recovery. He may well decide that it is better to pay the price of an unbalanced budget for medical and surgical services promptly, faithfully and successfully rendered, than to have perished.
