entente or alliance with the sea

Nothing in Mr.. Wilson's statement
to congress raises this question. Yet
no sane government would incur war
or the danger of war or the resent.
ment Of a powerful and hitherto
friendly power 10 order to bestew
critical benefits on another power
without making certain of legitimate
reciprocal benefits.
From the standpoint OF humani-
tarianlsm Mr.. Wilson's statement OF
our position Is equally insufficient.
So far as the sinking OF passenger
ships Is concerned, there can be no
argument, provided the passenger
ships are not employed as munitions
carriers. Mr.. Wilson's Humanitarian
contention, however, seems to turn
wholly upon the theory that passen-
gers or sailors on ships not technical
ly warships must not be jeopardized
in naval operations
This would seem to be another in
stance of the influence OF the letter
upon Mr.. Wilson. Examined in the
light of the facts, the line OF humani-
ty or inhumanlty is not so easily
drawn.
England Is trying to starve Ger.
many into submission, pleading that
no distinction can be drawn between
com mbatant and noncombataut. Ger
many replies by trying to interrupt
the British supplies, thus to starve
| England into submission.
English operations only attempt to
starve combatant and noncombatant
Germans. German operations at
! tempt to starve noncambltaut Eng
lish but also jeopardize the lives OF
technical neutral noucombatantS who
are nevertheless engaged 10 attempts
to prevent the English from being
starved into submission.
Whatever the line OF legality ol
partlsanism, the balance Of inhuman-
tiles here is somewhat slight to The
nonpartisan conscience.
The fact is that when whole ma
tions are organized for war as IL
modern times 1t is more difficult thar
10 the past, il not impossible, to draw
a real distinction between combatan
and noucombatant. Starvation /

Germany to sacrifice noncombatan
lives engaged in multiplying her effor
to weaken her foes by starvation, L
say nothing of the interruption o
their munitions supply, it is inhuman
for Great Britain to sacrifice noncom
batant lives in Germany.

 thought they were real Asmrats, found faults and ridicuIed the officials freely Subsequent events, however, have served to make us stand up and take notice. For instance: the govern ment reserved plat of ground at Anchorage for townsite. The part of the plat that was most convenient for business purposes, was di- vided into small lots and enough of them to ac- commodate sufficient business houses for good size town. Next to the small lots, according to late reports, acre tracts were divided, Next again, five acre tracts were divided. Now, what better arrangement could have been devised to accommodate any size community. To our opin- ion, it is the best method ever devised and re- fleets great credit upon those who suggested the plan. It would be well for future towns to oh- serve what system has done before it $ too late.

WHAT IS THE USE!

Reports from Forester Island indicate that things are not running too smooth there, to say the least. It appears as though the fish buyers had their hands in their pockets and were de termined to keep them there. It also appears that the fishermen have their '''backs up' or somethng; and unless the fish buyers come through" they are determined to keep them up. Both sides are playing a waiting game with a background made up of perfectly good fish and an audience made up of the consumers whose sustenance is allowed to slip away from the har- vesters. A sa sa 4sf
 The situation prevailing at Forester island this year is not new. On the contrary, it is an every year occurrence. In view of the fact that the harvest season lasts only but short while, the situation is to be regretted; and it becomes more so when we consider that family men go there early in the spring to take advantage of the whole season, only to be deprived of their sum- mer's earnings It is serious matter to them, and should not obtain. To say that the fish buy CTS alone are to blame would not be fair. They may contribute their share in bringing such situ- ation, but they are not wholly to blame In all walks of life, we find men who are never satis- fled and the fishermen are no exception. We know of few fishermen who are always looking for an opening to make trouble. Likewise, we know some fish buyers who are "hoggish," and when the two extremes meet, there is trouble The fishermen have their rights, hut no more so than the fish buyers. Both must Se consider ed. It's pity the government cannot provide the means of segregating the troublesome from the peaceful.
