X copy of the report of Governor Strong to the Secretary of the Interior for the year 1916 just off the press, has been received by the Progressive-Min CT It reads in part:
 Governors Office,
 Juneau, Ala, October 1, 1916
 "Sir:-I have the honor to submit this, my fourth annual report of mat l ters pertaining to the administration of this office for the fiscal year ended June 30. 1916.1
 After a minute review of the con. ditions as they exist today the Cover nor proceeds to demonstrate the isola- tion of the territory. a great drawback to it's development and points out the evident intention to hamper it's prog ress. and says: Alaska still labors un- der a system of restricted government that should not be permitted by a nation that calls itself progressive, etc" and pleads
 WHY WILL NOT CONGRESS LISTEN?
 "A little research shows that Alas ka, until within the past dozen years or less received little consideration by the Government except in the casu al and haphazard way By this is meant that there has been adistinct lack of interest shown; such interest as has been taken has nearly always been general and not particular; it has been merely academic. Restrict ion rather than privilege has been a. bundant It's people have been told what they must not do rather than encouraged to make the best legiti- mate use of their opportunities. Res ervation was too long apparently the only end sought to be accomplished There is still too much of it for safe and sane progress and development. Therefore, the Territory languishes when it should flourish; it stagnates when it should show strong virility. For Alaska has all those natural re- sources that are the essential founda- tion stones of a great commonwealth ?
 From that he goes on to point the Natural wealth scarcely touched; the Economy of Nature; the Permanent Population; the general conditions, general progress despre the great drawbacks; the passing of the pros pector; Alaska's great trade; agricul- tural possibilities, etc, and finally the fisheries are dwelt with. In regard to the halibut question. the Governor says
 The opening of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway through to it's Pacific coast terminal, Prince Rupert, British Columbia, only about 90 miles from Ketchikan, has caused considerable concern as to whether Alaska towns will continue to be the center of the halibut industry in the north. Until the spring of 1915, Ketcnikan and other Alaska towns were regarded as the center of the Alaska halibut industry

want to introduce this article by a
brief quotation from the late John Fiske
man whose clearness OF mind reached
almost 20 tho point OF the prophetic. az
follows: THE closet approach to
condition Of perpetual and universal
peace that Il IL possible to attain among
nations can be achieved only when the
preponderance OF military power has
been gathered into the hands OF the pa
ciflc peoples"
The import OF that statement is one
that deserves 20 be carefully considered
in determining TO what extent we ought
as people to push the policy Of pre-
paredness. II assumes that human ma
ture has not yet so far advanced toward
perfection as TO render Il prudent to dis
pensc altogether with military force and
equipment. Most observant people viii be
agreed upon that point.
We want peace and We are so anxious
to have II that in case OF necessity we
must be willing to fight for It. We feel
Justified In fighting the intruder who at

We were perhaps optimistic enough,
and had sufficient confidence in the
irenic disposition OF men and nations. to
suppose. when Tho Tague tribunal was
established. that war was feature OF
the past and that all swords were on the
way TO being converted into plowshares.
And indeed, II was no small matter for
the representatives Of forty-four nations
to assemble in 1907 and agree TO set up
a world court OF arbitral Justice. II
was the extreme point yet attained In
international comfy. But what has
transpired since that event indicates how
much less the action OF those represen-
tatives sisnifled than we supposed at the
time. and indicates also how large the
supplementary action that will require
to be taken before We commence 20
achieve the pacific object Of our amAi-
ton.
1t has become universally apparent
since 1907 that the establishment OF n
court of arbitration goes no farther than
TO express sense Of need. without In
any way practically satisfying that need
It was in condition to pronounce it's ar
bitral decisions, but absolutely without
the means of enforcing them. II was
just as ineffective as any Judicial body
would be II unsustained by an executive
body.
