 There k no reason why the territory should not foster such undertaking. Its creation would have for its sole aim the highest interest of Alaska. The people of Alaska are supporting a Bureau of Publici- ty which k able to perform but a small part of the work which an all-AIaska agency would be able to do and which 1t is intended that 1t shall do. It Is true that the Bureau of Publicity Is getting some de sirabe publicity for the north, but a cen tral agency such as the one proposed could get the same results and make it co-ordi- nate with its cooperative work with the department of interior. If the question arises as to the dcsirabiIity of the territory financing two bureaus, we believe that it could be shown that an all-Alaska agency of the kind suggested would serve the ter ritory to a better advantage than one ope- rating within the narrow limits now occu- pied by the Bureau of Publicity. The functions of the latter could be possessed by the former in addition to other powers and the people of Alaska get the benefits of both. There is no doubt that Alaska needs to be in closer touch with Washing ton when congress starts on policy of "upbuilding local industries and pcoplcing the territory" and an aII-Alasla agency would furnish the means of communication.

CORRECTING THE TEACHING OF
 HISTORY.
(KansaS City Star.)


 People sometimes inquire how patriot ism may be taught effectively. One of the incidents to teaching patriotism might well be the correct teaching of history
 When the world crisis came 1t appear ed that France, Britain and the United States has not merely common material in terests. They had common spiritual inter- cSts They looked at great questions in much the same way. There was common bond between these countries which was lacking in the case of Germany. Apparent Iy Germany had its own point of view, its own standards, and these were different from the point of view and the standards of the allies
 It might be helpful to the continued peace of the world if our school histories should show why this situation developed. They have indicated, indeed, that France was a republic and thus might be expected to have ideals in common with those of the American republic But too commonly they have been given the wrong view on the relations of the United States and Great Britain.
 It has been fashionable in some quar- ters to denonce the British commonwealth of today for the sins of the arbitrary Eng fish king and his Tory party of l5O years ago. The British redcoat has been held up to hatred long after the statute of limita- tions should have been applied. The better histories have discovered that the Ameri- ran revolution was part of a wider strug- gle between liberalism and reaction, and that the success of liberalism ill America was followed by it's success in England. But there are still wide areas in which these facts are not recognized.
 The great democraces of the world with essentially common purposes, must be associated intimately for years to come A correct teaching of history, a refusal to cater to ancient prejudices, will promote this association. It is a patriotic duty for the advancement of the peace of the world.

RIO JANIERO, Brazil, Oct 6.-(P)
 President Pessao, in special mes sage to the Brazilian congress today, urges that body to ratify the peace treaty with Germany without reser- vation or amendment. He declared that the treaty in it's present form while it might contain certain ob- jectionable features, was in the main, 9ll that could be hoped for and that any attempt at reservation or amend ment might result in reopening ne gottations and producing untold dam age in War-tOrn Europe

THE UNIFORM.

Before the war man wearing the uni was barred from public gatherings because of his uniform. The war ended that sort of came to a sudden realization of what the American army and navy uniforms mean, and the soldier, sailor or marine was vel comed anywhere. Now, however, Major General Edwards, commander of the North eastern department of the army, reports that 'the prewar prejudice against the uni form has been revived" and as a result he requests that soldiers of the coast defense be permitted to wear civilian dress while on pass or furlough.
 So soon does a nation forget.
 A man may dishonor the American uni form. But the American uniform dishon- OrS no man.

Fiber and Fabric, a textile paper, pub lished in Boston, approves the scheme of mill government by senate, house of rep resentatives and cabinet which has been tried with success in North Carolina, but does not believe that the plan could be ap- piled in New England. It is all right in the south 'where the lack of irresponsible alien held is very prominent" But New Eng land mills are full of bolshevik ideas ; New England may be as alien and irrespon- sible as Fiber and Fabric thinks, but it is fair to say that the textile interests charge of bolshevism in the Lawrence strike was not borne out by the investigators. In fact, the strike was settled, as thousands of other strikes have been, by an increase in wages. The wage-earning class showed no disposi- ton to convert itself into the owning class.
