A DEVELOPMEN FEDERAL LA There is growing indication that if Alaska is to go ahead with a broad development plan such as is now being pushed,’a realignment of policies relative to land control and title must be made. Population and-industrial advancement cannot be attained unless becomes theré is room for such expansion, and there less and less room for such a program as more and more land is gathered in under Federal government contgol The latest outstanding Federal tract of land of the policy of A flanking the city example land control is found near Petersburg. more than 2,000 acres of Petershurg on all side: been withdrawn from public domain and placed in the Forest Service re- ] serve.

Brue, the land wi askalls are well aware counter to any is to develop a expand the be subject to permit Al- that the permit system runs expansion program for the simple reasqn that under the setup cbtaining title is next to n‘ppombhn and private enterprise is not going to undertake any development on land to which it can probibly never claim title. The example at Petersburg is only one instance. Thetle are countless others. It wasn't long ago that a big piece of land was withdrawn near Eklutna at the Fequest of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, ostensibly for the purpose of establishing an Indian industrial farm or reservation. The land is in the fertile Mata- nuska Valley where an agricultural development is nowsunder way. Is the grabbing up of a large piece of fértile land in this choice agricultural section for a gavernment agency conducive to settlement? Of course, it is not, and the government which is attempt- ing fo foster agricultural development should be aware of it On the one hand, the government sponsors de- velopment, on the other it curbs it by taking more and qmore land from. the public domain and private settlément. The two policies are in direct conflict with; the result that the general Alaska development program is placed in joopardy by the government which now proposes to succor it through the presen- tation of a development program to Congress. If we are to have real expansion in Alaska it is about time to get down to cases and quit this busi- ness of the left hand doing what the right hand isn't suppoqd to know about.

Were our times only slightly less screwy, the Hit- ler intention of mediating the Chinese war would pro- voke nothing but laughter. That he is taken seriously in many quarters mere- ly emphasizes the futility of the Brussels conference and underlines the whole failure of the post-war world to set up and maintain standards of international morality If Mussolini, the. unnamed Mediterranean “pir- ate,” can become increasingly friendly with the British Government, chief Sherlock in the “pirate hunt” Hitler must ask himself why he should not aspire to the post of mediator in the Oriental conflict. The fact that the Japanese aggression is made possible by Hitler's constant threat to Russia is con- sidered no disqualification in a world where the lamb not only lies down with the lion but also picks his teeth for him. Though his offer probably will be rejected, Hit- ler's gesture will have an effect on the Chinese war. It undoubtedly will be made the basis for an attempt to divide the Chinese factions again. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek had to be kid- naped before he could be persuaded to offer any re- sistance to the Japanese conquest. And only since he has done so has he received the allegiance and co- operation of the so-called Red Chinese army, portant factor in China’s resistance. His officers are largely German-trained. And Chiang has done busi- ness with Japan before. If he is convinced that further resistance is im- possible, it isn’t beyond the bounds of credibility that Chiang will move toward mediation. In that case the Chinese Red army, irrevocably committed to struggle against Japan, would split off from Chiang’s Government and the interminable Chinese struggle would revert to civil war, pieces. Even if Chiang continues to lead the sharp resis- tance to Japan, there will be elements in China that will use every military reverse as an argument that mediation should have been accepted. As was to be expected, Chinese delegates to the Brussels conference emphatically deny that the Chin- ese Government has any intention of accepting German | mediation. The Chinese Ambassador to Berlin calls attention to the “ulterior motive” that lies behind Hit- ler’s attempt | For obvious reasons, Der Fuehrer wished to weaken the Brussels conference, to confuse world opinion | The regrettable and tragically significant point is that he was able to do so, even temporarily. Hitler has executed a maneuver that may be ex- ceedingly useful to his Japanese allies. Even when he coos from behind an olive branch, the Berlin vulture manages to help the forces of aggression and conquest, China Retreats | (Cincinnati Enquirer) After many ‘months of costly struggle around Shanghai, the finally taken the ground around the International Settlement and are in a fair way toward giving battle in open country, where they will have a greater advan- tage. But the Japanese successes of the last few days are not by any means decisive as to indicate destruc- tion of the Chinese defending army. Shanghai is a minor phase of the Sino-Japanese war. Jaj important operations are in the north, and have been strikingly successful. The attack on Shanghai was designed to prevent China from sending large reinforcements into the northern provinces and to close off the lucrative trade between Shanghai, the better to weaken China’s power of resistance. It is hardly necessary for the Japanese to achieve a spectacular or complete victory in the Shanghai area, therefore, to realize their major aims in Asia As soon as they complete their conquest of Shansi and Suiquan Provinces, 1,000 miles to the north, they will | be in a strong position to bargain for peace, in terms of the territory acquired. Whether they will continue westward from Shanghai to destroy the Nanking Gov- ernment, as some ambitious soldiers of Nippon have proposed, doubtless depends on many factors, including any action taken by the Western powers In the long run, however, the scope of Japan's conquest doubtless depends largely on China’s mili- tary resistance. For there is little the Western powers can do except by outright blockade and boycott of Japan. And there is no hint from Brussels that they are even contemplating this. China is in the grim position of either having to fight a losing fight in the Yangtze Valley or surrender several rich provinces of the north as the price of Japanese ‘evacuation from the Shanghai area. and ineffective Among new records set within the past year, bar- barism and inhumanity may be added.—Charleston a- “glutton lives that he may eat” has been going President Pa ys$ Res pm (W.

This tendency may be encouraging to those who desire long tenure of public office. While aid of financiers and dis- tinguished statesmen may be sought by the 'people, astrologers warn that there will be no united support of anything like dictator- ship here in the United States.
