ALASEA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED T) BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. THE G. 0. P.)s “GREAT MOUTHPIECE” RAPS THE NEW DEAL ON GLACIER BAY | A great deal is being made these days about bureaucracy and indjvidual enterprise. the spokesmen of the Republican party point with! alarm at what they term the rising tide of bureau- cratic government and the curbing of individual initia- Especially do tive as a result of too much government regulation under the New Deal. One of the loudest and most consistent assailants of the Democratic administration is the ultra. re- actionary Saturday Evening Post which has reeked of Republicanism and that particular variety known as special privilege for generations. So thoroughly does the Post hate the New Deal that it is said every time President Roosevelt makes an address George | Horace Lorimer, the veteran Post editor, has a night- mare. Every time a piece of liberal legislation for the good of the whole people passes Congress the same Post editor runs a terrible special interest fever which he can not get over for at least three issues. Thus it comes as a startling same Saturday Evening Post reverses becomes the champion of bureaucracy and govern- ment privilege, which it claims to so thoroughly de- test. Imagine, if you can, the Post shouting against| individual enterprise and the opening up of Alaska so that individual initiative might have an inning. Imagine, the supposedly learned Saturday Evening Post editor picking on a little piece of Alaska some| 50 miles wide and not more than 75 miles in its longest direction out of its vast 600,000 square miles for a campaign issue after casting an experienced eye over| the national landscape for years. Yet it is in the Post issue of August 15, now arriv- ! ing here.in themails, that we find the famous weekly shouting to high heavens against opening Glacier Bay National Monument to mining and prospecting. The Post actually advocating bureau domination over the Territory which has been choked into submission for years because of bureaucratic control which has pre-| vented it from developing and expanding as it should, From the national publication which should know that Alaska has an area of some 600,000 square miles and that Glacier Bay Monument is just a little patch of it northwest of Juneau which has been de- nuded by nature of virtually everything but rocks le(t! Democrat, but as a public servant. in the old glacier beds, we read the following enllgm-; ening information: |of these admirable treaties. The features which make the Glacier Bay region especially worthy of protection are its tidewater glaciers of the first rank in a setting of magnificent fiords and lofty peaks; its great expanse of shores recently vacated by melting ice, on which are coming m a new vegetation and a new animal population— visible demonstration of what happened over all of northern North America at the close of the Glacial Period; and its numerous well- preserved relics of interglacial forest. The Post goes on to tell us that “according to a committee on preservation of natural nunquns of the Ecological Society 0f America, the glacier§, would be in little danger from mining, but it would be far otherwise with the plant and animal life.” Quoting the committee, the publication says further: ‘*Even a sparse mining population would result in the cut- ting of young trees as they attain proper size, in| the use of the interglacial-forest relics as firewood, and in the killing of the animal population.” The Post may be forgiven for not knowing that persons going to Glacier Bay to stake mining claims | take their wooden stakes with them. There is hardly | a tree big enough left in the whole area to make a few stakes for posting claim notices. But when the Post cries week after week about New Deal bureau- | cracy and then turns around to defend the Repub- | lican brand of bureaucratic control which has stifled the Territory, one can only wonder, thither leads! political poppycock such as the Post has been spread- ing over the land for lo, these many years? The Post talks of plant and animal life in the area, giving hint that its editor has been reading about the flora and fauna that abound in the north. There is animal and plant life unexcelled on the North American continent in Alaska, but there is’ not enough flora and faura in the whole of Glacier Bay National Monument to fill a magician’s trick hat. Even jack rabbits speed across the devastated area in high gear so as to reach the other side in time to be sure to get something to eat. There is nothing to preserve in the Glacier Bay area except rocks. The glaciets, the Post talks about, can not| compare with Columbia, Taku and Mendenhall and countless other great glaciers of the north, all out-l side of Glacier Bay, and easily accessibie to tourists, which Glacier Bay is not. There is one thing in Glacier Bay and that is mineral. been the foundation for the Post’s gold standard yowl for decades. It is rich in other minerals, which can now, thanks to the efforts of Alaska Delegate | Anthony J. Dimond in getting the law through conw gress opening it to prospecting and mining, be de-| veloped and given to the world. It can give Alaska miners‘an opportunity to use some of that individual enterprise the Post has been raving about. But as nce, $12.00; six months, in advance, $6.00; | shock when the| itself and | Gold, the same good yellow metal that has| a national monument it amounts to about what the little boy shot at. The Post relates with great dignity how Presi- dent Coolidge signed the proclamation setting the area aside in 1925, but it neglects to state that the |late President responded to the urge of those conser- | vationists who would lock up Alaska and throw away | the key, keeping 90 per cent of the entire 600,000 | square miles under regulation and turning the other 10 per cent over to mighty interests such as the Post represents to eliminate competition and to hold in | custody for development if they see fit. In the mean- time Alaskans pay exorbitant prices for the products of these great interests exported from the States. Of course, the Post is taking a crack at the New |Deal, the first national administration in history cince the regime of Woodrow Wilson which has done |onything for Alaska and her people. It is the Roose- | velt administration that is attempting to give to the | Territory those advantages for advancement which would make of it a gredt empire, and develop it to the point where it would support.millions instead of | the 60,000 whites and Indiafis it néw boosts. | Naturally the Post would stand for special interest domination over the entire nation, including Alaska, but when it swings to the support of bureaucratic |domination over natural resources, it reveals that {he weekly editor is grasping at any old straw to make | political fodder, probably prodded along by some of ihose same conservationists who fought hard to set aside Admiralty Island for a bear preserve and would put Baranof and Chichagof islands in the same class |ro that the wealthy eastern tycoons of industry could be assured that no independent pulp industry might spring up to compete with their monopolies. ‘ World Horizons (New York Times) The Rockefeller Foundation began and con- itinues its many-sided activities and benefactions at 'home, but it has given them world horizons. This is made especially manifest in the latest annual re- |port. The work of all divisions is international in |scope, and in some instances directly promotes co- |operative relationships between nations. In earlier |years the dominant feature of its world-wide program was the creation and development of technically com- petent local, state and national health services. But the emphasis has lately been shifted from the exten- sive application of existing knowledge to the securing |additional facts “necessary to the effective and eco- nemical control of disease”—through “field research.” It has not hesitated to go to the jungle to fight the yellow fever which is widely disseminated over the South American Continent east of the Andes and |north of Paraguay, though it has been driven out of towns. A new battle is txing fought out on the plain of Marathon, but the Persians are now the Anopheles. On another front a campaign is being waged, in Egypt, against parasites which for ages have been carried by snails. Tuberculosis research ic being conducted in many sectors. What is done for health is but indicative of what has been undertaken in other fields: natural and social sciences and the humanities. In the last of these three, the program is reversed in that there was concentration on “certain means of cultural dif- fusion to which the public looks for knowledge and enjoyment” rather than research interests of scholars. For one thing, a considerable appropriation was made for the experimental development of world-wide broadcasting, the program including a series of talks on basic English looking to a planetary auxiliary language. It is an extraordinarily interesting and significant report, concerned as it is with the whole human race President Max Mason is to be especially congratulated "as an aole administrator who now undertakes de- ferred research himself and in that science which transcends finitude and sees the universe as the works of a mathematical mind. | Playing Their Ace (Cincinnati Enquirer) Secretary Cordell Hull's recent defense of the reci- procal trade pacts may be considered the administra- tion's opening gun of the campaign, so far as the important question of tariffs is concerned. Mr. Hull has conducted his foreign trade program not as a There has been no hint of partisan bias or favoritism in the making Bat when it comes time for a campaign, Mr. Hull properly rises to the defense of his treaties, particularly since they are under fire from the opposition. Perhaps it is just as weu 1or the Democrats to play their ace immediately. For their tariff record is the strongest claim they have to public support. ‘The benefits of these reciprocal treaties are above party. It would be a pity if the Republicans were to make their opposition to the pacts a major feature of their campaign. If they did, they would be obliged to abandon the new tariff policy, should they come to power. Actually, the leading figures of the G. O. P. are not hostile to these tariff agreements. Mr. Stinson, formerly Secretary of State, has indorsed them whole- heartedly. Mr. Ogden Mills, formerly Secretary of the Treasury, has indicated his approval of their sub- stance. Many other Republicans have shown that they do not believe in the sort of protectionism which found expression in the Smoot-Hawley treaty and which did so much to augment the severity of the depression. Since the election is likely to be close, and either party may win, it would be in the public interest for | the Republicans to avoid further tariff commitments, so that the general principle of reciprocal tariff pacts may be retained in future.
