Would Give England Biggest Navy
THE British empire imperatively
needs the greatest navy in the world,
and this we should instantly con-
cede," said the colonel. Our need
for great Navy comes next to hers
and we should have the second Navy

greater military strength than we do,
but we should have all our young
men trained to arms. on the general
lines of the Swiss system.

Must Preserve Monroe Doctrine.

"As for this nation, it must keep
its absolute economic independence
and raise or lower it's economic bar
riers as its interests demand, for we
have to look after the welfare of our
own workingman. We must insist
on the preservation of the Monroe
doctrine. We must keep the right to
close the Panama canal to our enc
mics in war time and we must not
undertake to interfere in European,
Asiatic or African matters with which
we ought to have properly no con-

Declaring that president Wilson
has not given the slightest explana-
tion of what his views are, or why
he is going abroad" the colonel as
serted ''he is himself responsible for

people as regards the peace confer
ence at this time

"He has never permitted the Amer

posals. nor has he ever made those
proposals clear and STRAIGHTFORWARD.

the American people have expressed
any opinion upon them. it was on No
he continued, adding that "the Amer
lean Army was fighting to smash
Germany and 1.-The American people
wanted Germany smashed"
''The allies have never accepted the
fourteen points he continued; 1.-THE
United States has never accepted
them. Germany and Austria enthu-
siastically accepted them. Here Ger
tain Individuals, including President
Wilson. Mr.. Hearst, Mr.. Vierick. and,
as understand it, number of pro-

tional socialists. have accepted them.
but neither the American people nor

The colonel declared that ''Mr. Will
son himself has rejected at least one
of the fourteen outright and has in
terpreted another in the directly OBJ
posite sense to its plain and obvious
meaning" and added that Some of
the fourteen points are thoroughly
mischievous under any interpreta-
tion." and most of the others are
vague and ambiguous.
"Inasmuch as Mr.. Wilson is going
over, it is earnestly to be hoped that
it is his business not to try and be an
umpire between our allies and our
enemies. but act Loyalty as one of the
allies," SAID the colonel.

INTERESTING MEETING OF TREADWELL p. r. A.

TREADWELL, Jan. 30.-One of the most interesting and instructive Of the entire series of the Tread well Parent Teacher Association meetings yet held was that of last night when the school house was crowded with patrons and friends of the school who were there to listen to the excellent program pre- sented.

 A very interesting number of the program was an address by Mrs. H l.. Faulkner of Juneau, her subject being the Junior Red Cross. The address was listened to most at tentively as it was replete in infor. nation of value for both children and grown-ups
 Miss France favored with a reel tation and there were number of features, by the children, the girls quartette winning unstinted applause

 Whereas, the Parent Teacher As sociation of Treadwell realizes the stupendous gravity of the food prob lem as factor in winning the war Therefore
 Resolved, That we hereby pledge our sincere endeavors in complying with all the rules and regulations of the United States Food Admin istration, through it's Alaska Admin istrator, Royal A. Gunnison.
 Be it further resolved, That, in as much as the substitutes for wheat flour are more than 20 per cent. higher, in our community than wheat flour, we ask our Ad ministrator for Alaska to use his influence, so far as consistent, tC secure prices more nearly equal to the prices of wheat flour, and thus make it more easy to secure the unanimous sympathetic co-ooperatior of the conservation efforts.

 places appear to be worried, those at Juneau lest they have been charg- ing too much. and those at Doug las lest they have not been charg. ing enough-the former fearing re. quests for "blowbacks" and the lat. ter wondering whether they had best mail out bills for something they overloQked.
