of the futility of trying to alter the docu- ment by senate interpolations. The time has come when the country should demand a show down in the senate. The President has stated that there is no objection to a series of interpretative resolutions being passed in connection with the treaty, show ing just how the United States understands certain provisions or clauses that seem ob
 scure to the senate opposition. Such inter pretatiOns would serve their purpose by making clear any doubtful points and at the same time not interefere with the operation of the treaty. It is inconceivable that the opposition will try to hold the treaty over until another session of congress. The state of affairs in the country renders such pro cedure unwise. The majority of the peo- pie of America arc for the treaty as it stands, league of nations and all, and we

providing funds by piecemeal rather than in lump sum to be expended when aD( where the Alaskan Engineering commissio sees fit. This method of appropriation has not proven successful and has been waste full rather than economic.
 And the fact that congress has provid- led the six million may cause it to put of" passing another appropriation bill which will provide the 100000 yet remaining. It is to guard against such an attitude on the part of congress that Alaskans should keep up their efforts to get the whole sum before the incident grows cold. The longer it is delayed, the harder to get it will be-. Even should success in the highest degree attend our efforts, it will take until after New Year and possibly until we'll along into spring of next year to get another appro- priation bill thru both houses.

WOMEN
 HAVE BIG TIME
IGLOO NO. 3. PIONEER WOMEN OF ALASKA ENJOY PLEASANT
 SOCIAL SESSION

Last night was a big night with Igloo No. 3, Pioneer Women of. All aska, which is starting off the winter season in genuine Pioneer style. Primed for what was in store for them by previous announcements. a goodly portion of the membership was out for the meeting.
 Following the regular business ses- sion, social hour was passed dur ing which short program was rendered. Representative E. B. Col lins made short but very interest," ing talk on the Pioneers Home ., Sitka and on the possibility of the territory building a home for Alas kas pioneer women Mrs. Ferne Johnson also rendered several vocal selections which added greatly to the enjoyment of the evening. A de- lightful lunch was served after the program was concluded.

country will be operated by such combina- tions, which, having an absolute monoply, will set what prices and hours they please for their work, and force the public to pay the cost, and will resist government inter- ference by the threat of a universal tie-up?
 Heretofore the government has by i'm plication, if not by direct statement, rec ognized the right of labor to collective bar gaining. Where a sufficient number of employees in any industry have become unionized, the right of their elected off cials to speak for them, to act for them, has been acknowledged by the government in its dealing with such laborers. Their right to strike under certain conditions-when all other means of settlement of disputes have been exhausted-has also been rec ognized. But when organized labor holds this unionization as cudgel over the head of congress as a weapon to coerce its ac- ton, it is time that some limitation be plac- ed on the use of the strike as weapon.
 Uncurbed, it must lead to the "civil war
 that some think they see,"

A KINGS PRAISES

There will be but a few Americans who are not pleased at the expression of appre citation and words of praise spoken Tues day in the senate by Albert, king of Bel gium, about the American army. Tho all of us are convinced of the part that our forces played in the final decision of the war, it is gratifying to know that others than our selves have that same realization of its inn portance.
 Of all the leading actors in the war drama that occupied the world stage for four long and terrible years, none emerged into the light of peace with more en- hanced reputation that did Belglums rul- CT. Nor did any people come thru the strug- gle with a greater reputation for steadfast- ness of spirit, unwavering loyalty under trying circumstances, and bravery when to be brave and unyielding seemed to equiva- lent to committing suicide, than did the nation over which King Albert has the honor to preside.
 Few monarchs of modern times can match his splendid record. And when he declares that the part that American arms played in the allied victory was the decisive one, his words can be accepted at their face value, for he was in the fight from the first and knows intimately the conditions that confronted the allied forces when the Yan- kee troops fared forth to meet the Hun. Americans have but little in common with kings. But there is kinship that exists between the brave of all stations, be he king or private soldier, and in such kin ship is found the beginning of universal democracy.

AMENDMENTS BLOCKED

With the defeat of the Johnson amend ment to the league covenant by the senate last Monday, it seems more than ever ap- parent that the supporters of the President for an unqualified ratification are strong enough to keep the treaty from being tex tually amended. The amendment proposed by Senator Jones was skilfully drawn and cunningly devised with the intent to draw ing support from members of all parties, and was so worded as to make it appear that vote against its adoption would look as if it were also cast against the United States.
 It is true that the supporters of the treaty were barely able to bring about it's defeat, but that they did must have been a surprise to the Lodge forces Since early in September these forces have been pro- claiming on all occasions that they were sure of the adoption of the Johnson amend ment In fact they gave out figures show ing that the President could not muster more than 36 votes and probably less than that number:
 Altho the margin was close the amend ment was defeated, as it should have been. There never was the slightest use for it; it was conceived to meet condition that did not exist It sought to twist facts into queer shapes and had it been adopted would have resulted in an inequal repre-, sentation on the league assembly, instead of fighting an inequality for which it was ostensibly proposed. Had it been passed by the senate, it would in effect have given the United States II members on the league assembly to the six of England and her dominions, and would in no way have changed the makeup of the league council, the really important functioning body of the league, on which both the United States and England will have one and only one vote.
 Of all the original amendments pro- posed, this was the most likely of passage. Its fate must convince even Senator Lodge

NO TIME TO STOP

- Because congress has appropriated $6OOO,OOO for Alaska railroad, there is no reason to stop working for the entire ST. 100000 which has been authorized for the completion of the project. There is still $11 100000 which has not been appropriat- ed and the quicker it is made available the better for all concerned.
 But for the fact that the six million dollar appropriation is available continu- ously until expended, the fact that congress did not make the entire amount available at once would to indicate that it did not attempt to abandon it's former policy of

DEMANDS UNAVOIDABLE.


 The present disposition of labor organ izations to seek relief thru wage increases rather than thru increased production leads the National Foreign Trade council to view with concern the future of our foreign trade in all parts of the world. The ex- perience of Great Britain during the last fifty years offers an example of similar unsuond economic policy the fruits of which arc now becoming apparent. It has been the belief of English labor that the greater the restriction of output, the great CT the number of men to be employed, and therefore the greater prosperity for all In reality, restricted production has resulted in profits so small as to leave no room for wage increases. The net result has. been junderpaid labor and poor working condi- tions. In the main, this course has been unopposed by the British government. In stead of hitting at the root of the evil and eliminating restrictions on output, the policy has been to palliate social unrest with unemployment and old-age pensions. The government has thereby countenanced an economic situation in which increased wages, if granted, would lead to no greater production and would render the British manufacturer unable to compete with other nations in foreign trade. Therefore the wage increase never came, and Eng gland drew for herself red-ink Overdraft on the future.
 Exceptional war conditions upset all customs, resulted ill huge wage increases, but affected only slightly the old ideas about restriction of output. So England now finds herself in the difficult position of trying to sell goods abroad in competi- tion with foreign nations (and her whole industrial future depends on her success in the effort), when the labor costs of produc- ton have been enormously increased with but little compensating increase in output. To add to her difficulties, the payment of recent unemployment doles" has served only to make the state of unemployment attractive rather than otherwise, and has seriously weakened the twill to work" of the industrial population.
 > If the foreign markets of the world in many lines of goods are not to be lost to the United States in the future, two things are obvious: CD Increased production is a condition precedent to all increases of pay and decreases of working time; CD the policy of our government must be modelled more along lines which keep maximum pro duction in view than on any system of bene- fits tending to make labor less elf-depend- ent, or on any theory of decreased hours of oI fo1 c1u fO To for more people, but in reality resulting in more pay for the same number of work CTS.

OIL BILL UNWORKABLE

OIL BILL UNWoRKABLE
 It is the opinion of those men best in- formed about Alaska and conditions obtain ing here that the provisions of the oil and coal lands leasing bill are unavoidable so far as they deal with the territory and that the relief which was promised and hoped for from this bill will not be received. The lower house recently approved of certain sections of the measure applicable to Alas ka, among them being several that are sev- erely criticised for being ineffective.
 Chairman Curry of the house territor- ies committee is one of those who hold this opinion and Falcon Joslin, formerly of Fairbanks and now president of the Boring River Coal company, who is interested in oil properties in the Katalla field, is an other. In fact MT. Joslin presented objec- tions to the bill thru Representative Sin mott, of Oregon.
 In commenting on the bill, Mr. Joslin declared 'the senate tried to be liberal to Alaska and sought to benefit the territory, but there were too many cooks engaged in the work and the result is sad mess. l defy anyone to tell what many of the pro- visions of the bill, as they effect oil leases in Alaska, mean.
 ''In the original draft of the bill it was provided that prospecting permits would be granted in the states for GAO acres and in Alaska for twice that, or 1,280 acres. Subsequently the prospecting area in the United States was raised to 2,500 acres, but no one thot to change the Alaska figure, so it still stands at 1,280 acres The bill per- mits man to take three leases in the states or five in Alaska, but it provided that in Alaska he shall have no more than one on the same geological structure in a known oil field What this means precisely l have found no one who can say.
 "Leases in Alaska are to be on basis of 1,28O acres, but it appears that one may not get the full amount. He may lease, as a result of his discoveries, only one fourth of it on per cent royalty. The remaining three-fourths of the area are put up at auction, the discoverer having the preference right, but the royalty on this remaining three-quarters ranges from 12712 to 25 per cent, subject to higher bids.
 "A comparison of these provision with those prevailing in British Columbia is in- teresting. The British Columbia royalty is 21a cents a barrel straight, no percentage system being used. At prevailing prices 5 per cent royalty in Alaska means 75 cents a barrel.
 "The Alaska provisions of the bill con- stitute maze of contradictions and blind limitations. Unless these defects are rem edied either in committee or on the floor the law will be quite uselessin Alaska. The oil developer would far better operate in California than in the territory"
