WOULD DO
 IT OVER AGAIN

q would sign the letter that seven members of the Territorial Senate sent to Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane again if conditions were the same as they were last spring." said Senator ], M. Tanner, of skagway. who Is in Juneau. Tt is simply absurd to say that the idea of opposing a government railroad in Al aska ever entered our minds. We al. ready had gone on record in favor of it, and the letter was sent so that 1t would be made clear that we were not trying to put over something in favor of. the principle of government owner. ship on those who were opposed to that principle, but that we had acted simply and solely in behalf of R rail road for Alaska.
 "we also wanted the Secretary of the Interior to know that We would favor almost any plan that he and the administration might work out that would give Alaska the railroads that the situation demands that we should have" a'2N

AVIATION MAY DESTROY
 NEW YORKS PRESTIGE

LONDON, March Shipping men are rather seriously considering the prophecy of Rudyard Kipling that per fected aviation would make New York a Hast port" and eliminate 1t from world traffic.
 "The spirit of man is alone unaltered and unappeasable," Kipling told the Royal Geographical Society at a ban. quet. "The time is not far of when a traveller will know and care just as little whether he is over sea or land. as today he knows or cares whether a steamship is over forty fathoms or over Tuscarora deep.
 Then we will hear the lost ports of New York and Bombay bowling like Tarshish and Tyre"

He asked Congress to.do that "ln support of the foreign policy of the administra. tlonp
 The President contended that the exemption of American ships from the payment of canal tolls was not only a Mistaken economic policy" but that it was in contravention of the Hay Pauncefote treaty.
 Question Interferes with Others.
 Continuing, the President said: T shall not know how to deal with other matters Of even greater uelicacy anu nearer consequence if you do not grant It to me in ungrudgins meas. ure. a ,; %sT
 "The large thing to do is the only thing that we can afford to do. A voluntary withdrawal from a position everywhere questioned and misunder- stood would add toeour strength rath. CT than evidence weakness. We ought to reverse our action without raising the question as to whether we were right or wrong and so once more prove that we deserve our reputation for generosity and for the redemption of every National obligation without ouibble ior hesitation"
