Riley H. Allen, Editor of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, des- cribes it as a “very fine newspaper achievement” for which we are modestly grateful. But Editor Allen makes another interesting point—that travel is steadily growing between Alaska and Hawaii and that the two territories are working toward a common goal. But Mr. A This is a very newspaper achievement well as a mo: advertisement for the attrac- tions and resources of our sister Territory of Alaska,” says the Honolulu Editor The Empire's edition let’s quote fine as t effective speaking of “For the past several years travel between Hawaii and Alaska has been steadily and we forecee it can be developed much more extensively. “Our residents find the Alaska trip vel enjoy- able indeed.

Not only their cultural contacts were with ance and Spain, but their political links were with rope, through the League of Natior How pro- foundly this has changed can be n in the fact that Venezuela, resigning from the League of Nations, is the ninth Latin-American republic to do so. This exodus from Geneva has several causes. The nations to the south are finding the league expensive, for one thing, and do not like paying their quotas of the budget when they get so little in return More important is the obvious failure of the league to insure protection to small nations. Having seen how little the league did for Ethiopia, how little it is doing for Spain, the Latin states can sense the futil- ity of a small nation appealing to Geneva for pro- tection agains larger power intent on conquest. Still another factor is the undoubted rapproche- ment with the United States. Relations on this con- tinent have never been so generally satisfactory as today. With the absolute liquidation of all impe: istic ventures to the south, the United States has at last given real assurance against interference. This removes one compelling argument for league member- ship. For in the beginning, many Latin-American governments believed they could use the league protect themselves against encroachments by “colossus of the north.” and ways t a to the Keep an eye on that leprechaun Corrigan!
