Also. II Would Be socialism.


To the Editor OF The Times: The
following dispatch was sent out from
Washington a short time ago:
by doing Its own sealing the Unit.
ed States government has profited
this year more than three times as
much as IL ever did In any single year
when the sealing privileges were
rented to a commercial company
Secretary Nagel bas been advised
from London where the Department
Of Commerce and Labor sold It's first
crop OF seal skins, that the 1900
skins were found to be OF the very
best quality and netted the govern
ment $45O.000 in cash.
This is the first year the govern
ment has done the sealing For many
years the concession has been leased.
Not only does the government expect
to profit but the seal herds VIII be
conserved"
This certainly shows that even a
capitalistic government can do, and
actually Is doing, very difficult thing
more economically than a private cor
poration has been able TO do II. The
operation OF a seal fishery Is no small
affair. The base OF the industry is
many thousands OF miles from the
seat of government and from the bu-
reau under whose direction the work
Is performed. Still not only does the
government make large profits from
the industry, but ii actually conserves
the source OF supply OF furs-the seal
herd-which was being rapidly de-
stroyed by the leasing system OF oper-
alton.

tial harmony of opinion fayoring gov
eminent operation OF the dry dock
and repair shop facilities and govern
ment sale of all coal, oil and other
ship supplies, ut both ends OF the
canal to the trade OF the world passing
through the canal"
Now, the question Is, IL the govern
ment can conduct seal fishery In
Alaska and sell its product in Lon
don, why can't II operate slaughter
houses in New York and Chicago and
sell its products at cost to the people
OF the United States? IL the govern
ment can sell ship supplies and oil,
meaning foodstuffs as well as non
eatables, to the trade OF the world
down In Panama, why can't 1t sell oil.
sugar, flour, meat and everything else
that the people need and must have,
right here at home?
There Is only one answer-profts;
that's the reason. IL the government
did this for us collectively, the CAPT

In all the districts visited there was
little evidence of an election; the
