In‘that connection we would like to suggest that the item.of adequate transportation be given a place of first importance. Our natural resources can be made to produce many more times the present output, but unless some assured way of moving that wealth to the Outside and serving Alaska can be arrived at, any develop- ment program is going to be badly handicapped from the outset. Now again, as a year ago, Alaskans are the vic- tims of a maritime dispute in which we are entirely helpless. All we can do is sit and take it. It isn't a condition which is conducive to building up popula- tion of Alaska. As a matter of fact, one such tieup of transportation will keep more potential residents and capital for development out of the Territory than a year of aggressive campaigning for expansion. Thus, it seems to us, that instead of being one of the incidental items in the proposed Alaska de- velopment program, transportation is the primary consideration. Gold, fish, fur, agricultural products and all other exports as well as all our imports, which amount to a sizeable figure every year, are dependent on transportation between Alaska and the States. No one is going to establish a pulp mill, for ex- ample, in Alaska if there is no assurance that the product of that mill can be sent out into the world market. The same is true of every other development which might be suggested. «/Transportation is item No. 1 and we can't go aliéad without it. But we can go back very rapidly if some provision is not made so that there will be regalarly scheduled transportation service. Ny PROTECTING THE LAST BIG SALMON SUPPLY i In the campaign to protect Alaska salmon from foréign invasion, the United States will be doing more than safe-guarding an industry vital to the north and the Pacific Coast. It will be preserving the last big salmon run in the world. As the Seattle Fost-lnle]ligencer points out salmon have been de- pleted from waters in the rest of the world where they were formerly abundant until today the Pacific, ' and ‘mainly the north Pacific, furnishes the world’s mn)Qr supply. Commenting further, the P.-I. says: \ “ The announcement by Delegate Anthony | Dimond of Alaska that he is preparing to place before Congress a revised bill, extending national authority over Alaska salmon beyond the three-mile limit, rcpresents one step toward meeting the menace of Japanese fish- b 4% Meanwhile the state department continues % prosecute its studies, directed toward set- | wsstlement through diplomatic channels, “* Regardless of the method followed, it is filgh time that a halt be called to twenty cen- ‘cheat in defense of mate and children. | must be because of a deeper wisdom. The poor male 1is a pathetic figure—he would collapse utterly and | turies of wasteful neglect of one of the world's most finporumt food resources. From Pliny comes the story that the army of Julius Caesar, about 56 B.C., discovered that the Garonne River abounded with a sil- very fish that leaped against the current. They called the fish salmo, probably from the Latin verb salire, to leap. Unfortunately the salmon no longer leap in the rivers of Western Europe and the British Isles. They have also largely disappeared from the rivers of the Atlantic Coast of the United States and Canada. The coasts of the Pacific Ocean, last to be exploited, represent the salmon’s last stand. Offshore fishing on the Asiatic coast threat- ened Japanese shore fisheries and resulted in Japanese floating operators casting covetous eyes upon Alaskan runs and preparing to transfer wholesale activities to this coast. The mepace to Alaskan fisheries is not from the Japanese alone. Unrestricted fish- ing by Japanese undoubtedly would be fol- lowed by the transfer to the Pacific of floating canneries operated by other foreign groups in Atlantic waters, with the salmon as their quarry. Other nations should understand, as Pa- cific Coast fishermen do, that in preserving Pacific Coast fisheries the United States is acting to safeguard an important world food supply. Our own people, after sad experience, have learned the lesson of conservation. They are not in a mood to submit tamely to a type of invasion that would not only divide a resource built up by our efforts, but would threaten its very existence. Let’s Make Believe (New York Times) Life with father, as the lamented Clarence Day made clear, was an ordeal requiring the utmost forti- tude and delicacy on the part of the Victorian wife and mother, There were some things that father knew a woman couldn’t understand, some things she ought not to know. about, some problems that had to be left to the head of the house because no one else had any sense about them. Clarence Day’s father, and many others who were like him, have long been roaring up and down the golden streets, bowing politely to the lady angels but not taking their opinions on any non-domestic subject. But their influence, as Dr. William Allan Neilson of Smith College was reminding an audience of girl students and alumnae in Brooklyn some evenings ago, lingers on. Dr. Neilson thinks that women are still under the spell of traditions formed when they were expected to withdraw from the dinner table after dessert had been served, leaving the men to talk of weighty mas- culine subjects. What did the men actually talk about? Dr. Neilson didn't say. Business and poli- tics, possibly; horses, dogs and hunting—was that all? From a careful reading of English novels, from a knowledge of human nature, from certain data as to the drinking habits of the period, one may be sure that it was not all. Was this masculine conversation an intellectual exercise, beyond the feebler grasp of women’s minds? No, dear ladies, it was nothing of t'e2 kind. And yet the illusion lingers that father and his pals talked about something pretty deep. As Dr. Neil- son intimated, women are still a bit hypnotized—not to say bullied—by the intellectual arrogance of “hus- bands and brothers.” Well, it is time that this non- sense ended. The race of males, let the charming members of the opposite sex be assured, is but an array of stuffed shirts. Gaze at them in the bleak array of black and white in the flashlight photo- graphs of their stag dinners. Do they look bright? Do they even look human? It must be admitied they do not. At best they look like penguins. Their wis- dom is owlish, their humor heavy, their shirt-fronts | bulge, they are bald, their waist-lines are gone, and they issue platitudes that no group of women could | swallow without gagging. Woman supports and defends the home, with tooth and claw, if need be. She has no sense of fair- ness. She will not stand in line. She will lie and She puts an absurd emphasis upon superficial appearances. But she does not addle her brain by pretending to believe in the solemn mockeries of the male world. As she | invades that world, many of its pretenses disappear. | In father's time there was a profound mystery as to | what a man did in his office. There is naturally no such mystery now. He reads his newspaper, receives | & few visitors, talks over the telephone, looks out the | window and goes to lunch, from which he does not return until 3 o'clock—or just in time to clear his desk before going home. The work is done by female secretaries. 4 No, women should have no sense of intellectual or managerial inferiority. If they pretend to have one, it revedt to barbarism if he were not continually flat- tered, bolstered up, his vacuity and childishness con- cealed behind a starched stuffed shirt. Please, dear ladies, pretend a little longer. Do not take Dr. Neilson too seriously.

Under t\is planetary govern- ment men may meet many problems that perplex and discourage them. This is a day when the advice of women is regarded as valuable. In- tuition rather than logic may guide favorably in times of trouble. Mars continues to threaten the world which has learned little through experience and again must suffer through the power of evil. Although this is a threatening day for the aviators they are to benefit in the new year through marvel- ous safety devices. An air battle or accident is to be of surprise mo- ment in the United States. In the morning the stars smile will prove their ability to serve in public welfare movements Under this sway selfish ambitions lamong women are likely to bring sorrow, but success will attend nurs- es, social service workers and public health employees. Love affairs may be as intense as they are unfortunate today. Again the young will be highly susceptible jand correspondingly foolish. This may be a disappointing date for the opening of new plays or the arrangement of musical events. Dis- tracting influences may be preva- Jlent Persons whose birthdate it is have (the augury of a year of difficulties in which persons of opposite sex {will be implicated.
