ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION ALASKA’S NEED OF CAPITAL In the Alaska colonization thought which is draw- ing a good deal of comment these days, it occurs to us that one factor vitally essential to any such plan is being noticeably overlooked. Tnat potent ingredient is capital What Alaska needs first, and must have if it is to support an additional s number of people, is capital—people with resources to develop its unde- veloped resources. It may sound strange to those in the States who are not conversant with Alaska problems that a Territory which produces the vast ka gives the world each vear should need capital. But fact, and here are some of the r Alaska has, for example, a vast store of untapped mineral wealth. To bring that wealth mercial channels requires production amount of wealth which / n rtheless it is a ons: into com- and to bring any piece of mining property into production requires mining equipment which money.

If a person proposes to go fur farming, it requires money for stock, for proper housing and fcare of the animals before he can realize anything General farming requires money for buildings and generally getting started, even if the prospective farmer choses a piece of land which doesn’t have to be cleared, and clearing runs into important money In the fishing industry there is always a surplus of labor during the short season, i"to enter 50 the man hoping fishing business must have money for i equipment in the way of a boat, or if he is going into the packing business, he must be supplied with ample resources to establish his plant and get it operating. The man who comes north hoping to make his livelihood taking fur must remember he must become a resident of the Territory before he can get a resi- { dent trapper’s license, which requires a residence of | at least one year, or he must be prepared to pay the + higher rate of the non-res ! privileges of the resident A the ient and have none of the kan. Thus he must have money to take care of himself for at least a year before he can hope to enter the trapping business. The same conditions prevail for any venture the prospective settler in the north may be considering He must have a certain amount of capital, or his lot probably will be a hard and very likely unsuccessful one. It strikes us that this thought is too often over- ! looked when the matter of colonization of Alaska is ' | discussed.

Operating on the theory (now 170 vears old) that Francis Bacon really wrote the plays 2] of Wil Shakespeare, they were looking for sup- porti idence. Legend has it that Bacon wrote a poem and tossed it into Spenser's grave when the poet was buried in 1599. The diggers hoped to find the poem, compare the handwriting with known speci- mens of Shakespeare’s hand, and if they checked— behold! Proof that Bacon was Shakespeare, They found no poem They found Spenser’s coffin, with its wooden sides smashed and a few bones within (At least they think it's Spenser’s coffin; the Abbey tombs make a poor filing system, and cverything is rather mixed up.) And so they have gone away disconsolate arm their hands before a cannel coal fire all evening and murmur: “Too bad.” We think this grave-digging scene is one of the illiest spectacles to come to public notice in many a year. It is ¢ of the misfortunes of literature that the scholars who follow the creators, cleaning up | afte them with their little literary brooms, are h a stodgy lot i large. How anyone who ioves the s of akespeare could participate in this grave-digging scene after reading the poet’s own grave-digging scene in “Hamlet” is hard to under- stand. How could they dare chuck Spenser’s bones about while remembering, “That skull had a tongue in it and could sing once: How the knave jowls it to the ground as if it were Cain’s jawbone!” They ought to blush right up to their ruddy cheek: Leave It To Latvia (New York World-Telggram) 4 Latvia’s busy Minister to the United States, Dr. Alfred Bilmanis, made a long automobile tour Mst summer, and now has asked the State Department to recover for him the gasoline taxes he paid in ten States. It seems we have a reciprocal arrangement, under which our Minister to Latvia is exempted from such taxes here. So Dr. Bilmanis wants refunds of 52 cents from Mis: Alabama, Arkans: New York, Penn Ivania, Tennessee and Texas. Getting tt money back for Dr. Bilmanis threatens to strain all the resources of Americai diplomacy. For instance, Secretary Hull may have to persuade Mississippi’s Legislature to pass a special cents Why go to all that trouble? Latvia owes us an $8,178,080 war debt on which she has paid nothing since 1933. Knock off 52 cents to satisfy Dr. Bilmanis' claim against Mississippi, reducing the Latvian war debt to $8,178,079.48. Cancel her dimes and pennies to offset the taxes collected m Dr. Bilmanis by Alabama, Arkansas and the rest. Here, obviously, is the ideal way out of this grave new international crisis.
