 A retort is not an argument and all this wrangling leads to no permanent results.

TO RECALL MAYOR

TACOMA, April 7-Petitions to recall the Mayor and City Council of this city are being circulated by members of organized labor.
 This recall movement has the backing of the local unions who have become incensed over the stand taken by the City fathers in the Soldiers and Sailors tag day sales.
 The unwarrented and unjustifiable arrest of eighteen soldiers and sail tags for a worthy cause has aroused much indignation here.
 Unon officials are confident that enough signatures will be procured to recall the Mayor and the City council.

Opponents to the policy of Govern ment development of Alaska's re- sources should visit the Governments coal mines at Eska and Chickaloon
 If their prejudices were not so fixed and unalterable to preclude a change of opinion, it seems certain that they must be convinced of the wisdom of that policy.
 What the United States is doing at these two mines is in the nature of experimental work in an unknown field. Superficial indications in the Matanuska and Chickaloon fields promise that the coal measures to be revealed by mining operations would be of unlimited extent and unrivaled economy of operation. That the pro- mise of the surface has not been real ized is but confirmation of mining experience in many regions.
 The Government has here under taken the pioneer work that must eventually reveal not only the loca- tion and character of the best work able deposits, but the best methods of operation. The result of these operations must be to acquire the re- quisite information to enable private capital to proceed in the most or derly and economical fashion with the development of that region.
 Geological knowledge of these coal workings, is practically limited to surface conditions. The revelations made by government mining opera tions has almost completely upset the conclusions based on surface indica- tions No aggregation of private capi- tai would undertake the development work the government is doing unless it were assured of government sup port. Transportation and market conditions would not justify the pri- vate investor in taking the risk in- volved The government, on the other hand, having a market for the fuel produced in the development of the mine, is not concerned so much with profit of operation as with the requirement of exact and scientific data concerning the character, ex- tent and continuity of workable beds of coal,
 This, it is reasonable to expect, will be evolved by the operations at Eska and Chickaloon. Upon the results of these operations private capital may safely proceed with other projects. The data acquired by the Government will be open to all. The Government $ experience will be free to all who may wish to avail themselves there of.
 If the pioneer work were left to private capital the data the exper- fence gained would be carefully guarded business secrets, held invio- late to prevent the growth of con- petition. And such knowledge would be gained slowly and at enormous cost. The history of coal develop ment in the Cascade Mountains, in Pierce and King Counties, Washing ton, is an illustration of the truth of these observations. How many coal mines failed of proper development and how great the consequent loss to investors may never be exactly

ACHIEVES RESUL ITS
 IN COAL FIELDS

known, but even so rich and powerful a corporation as the Northern Pacific Railroad failed properly to develop profitable mine in those fields. Per haps if the knowledge and experience of other operators had been avail able that failure might have been avoided.
 The development of government coal mine tor any other activity by the governmenD should not be con- sidered in the light of an adventure for profit The Government is not in the business of competing with it's citizens in industrial enterprises. It is in the business as way-shower, as a pioneer. It is concerned in the requirement of knowledge, in the development of better, safer more economical business and industrial methods, a more complete utilization of natural resources the conservation of life and property the prevention of waste.
 It is in this light that the experi- ments at Eska and Chckaloon must be regarded The Government is there undertaking a work that no combination of private capital would be justified in undertaking and yet from the results of these operations of the Government will inevitably fol- low whatever of successful mining operations may come to this district. Perhaps the Government will never undertake to put the product of its mine on the market in competition with other mines in the same field. It's own operations may never show balance on the credit side of the financial ledger, yet in that ledger the book wherein the sum of bene- fices conferred upon it's people by this Government shall be written, the credit balance will be larger than the total investment
 But after visiting these Govern ment mines the writer is impressed by the fact that even from the sordid standpoint of monetary gains the Ecka and Chckaloon mines are cer- tain to prove themselves good invest ments Certainly, if for no other purpose than as a source of fuel sup ply for the Alaska Railroad, they justify their existence, and until such time as private enterprise may de- velop new sources at less cost their continued operations is necessity.
 The Government coal mines is, however, chiefly valuable as dem onstration of the practical and pro- fitable character of Alaskas coal deposits

The tension between Italy and Jugoslavia cannot become more se- were if actual war is to be averted. Italy claims territory claimed by the Jugoslavs and is seeking ot secure it by pressure open and secret. Feeling on both sides runs high. Turnout Italy a campaign of abuse is directed against the despised "Croats" and on the other side of the Adriatic indig nant Jugoslavs are being taught to regard Italy as their implacable enemy, bent on the conquest of Slavic. lands and the domination of Slavic peoples. Between France and Italy also there are signs of irritation France is no very ardent advocate of an Italian Adriatic, and French diplomacy therefore supports Jugo- slav claims. It was through no ac- cident that the Paris ovation to the Italian King lacked some of the warmth that marked the reception of President Wilson and, earlier, of King George.
 A conflict between the Slav and Italian is no new thing but the pres ent crisis dates back no further than April 26, 1915. On that day a treaty was patched up between Italy son the one hand and England, France and the Russia of Nicholas II. The treaty was not an "Open covenant openly arrived at" but very secret agreement by which Italy, after hay ing encouraged and received rival bids from Austria sold her aid in the war to the Allies in return for ter and England, France and Russia on their part solemnly agreed that thece territories should be given Italy out of lands claimed by Serbia, their war associate, without Serbias know ledge. No wonder the treaty was secret! In due course, however, the truth leaked, and the liberals of Flu rope were astounded to learn of Italys immoderation and of the Vii carious generosity of the statesmen of Great Britain, France and Russia. Italy for her intervention was to re- ceive, according to the summary of the New Europe, mot merely South ern tirol to the Brenner, Gorizia Tr@ste, the line of the Julian Alps to snear Fiume, and the whole of Istria 4 with the islands of Lussin and Cher s6y but also the whole of Northern DaNatia, including Zara ,Sebenico { and tip9r hinterland, and even the < southern islands of Lissa, Lesina, Curzola and Meleda. This involves : the annexation of nearly three-quar- ters of a million Slovenes and Croats, living in compact masses and with a keenly developed national conscious ness"
 Ihe bargain was, of course, im- moral and in fragrant violation of all the high principles for which the 8signatory states pretended to stand. 9Yt was also impolite. From the be- ginning the treaty created rlft De- Aween Italians and Jugoslavs, winch Rendered all effective cooperation 1m- pnssible.

Carso whi;e their brothers were risk ing their lives in the Serbian army Since the 1cn!stice and the resulting elimination C. Austria, the conflict between Italian and Jugoslav has 6:own much worse. The Jugoslavs reseut the fact that. the armistice terms for AUstria-Hungary were drawn with special reference to the boundary l'ne conceded to Italy by' ,no Lo1dOn secret t'Gaty and the. point cut that the Italian troops have passed even beyond this advanced line and have occupied territory to which they have no justifiable claim On the other hand the accep- tance by the Jugoslav Revolutionary Committee of the Hungarian fleet arouses the deepest indignation among Italian imperialists. On both sides there have been warnings and threats which in other circumstances would lead to war So far have mat ters gone that Premier Orlando de- clares that the Italian army cannot be disbanded because of the new dan gers threatening Italy.
 The case against Italy, by which we mean official, imperialist Italy, is strong. It cannot be doubted, and is no longer even denied, that in enter ing upon the war she surrendered to her imperia4ists and drove the hardest bargain possible. Not only did she bargain for lands to which she had no just claim, lands in which the Italic element is extremely small but she also accepted Abilities of future conquestg, for, as all the his tory Of the region shows, Dalmatia cannot be held unless the hinterland which is irredeemably Slavic. is also occupied At the same time the Ital- ian imperialist is not without his re- tort. There are, he insists, imper- ialists in other countries also. It is all very well for France to assail Ttaly's political usury, but France also knew that the treaty was inn moral when she signed it, as did Great Britain. Can England and France after going to war to uphold the sacredness of treaties now declare that the deliberate or secret pact of London is "a scrap of paper? Italy has paid the price, she has sacrificed her men, has spent her wealth has seen her lands ravaged. Is this a time for her Allies to declare high mindedly that they will not pay their share because it was all thieves bargain? The Italian imperialist in sists that not to keep such treaty, not to fulfill it's terms to the last par agraph, would be an act of unpara- lleled political baseness.
 Agan, retorts the Italian imperial ists, what am I doing that others are not doing? Admitting that Dalmatia is more Slav than Italian, is not the left Bank of the Rhine, which French imperialists demand, more German than French? Poland has seized Dantzig. a typically German city; is Dalmatia less Italian than Dantzig is Polish? It is well enough to ap- ply the principle of self-determina- ton to the territories promised to Italy by the secret Trtaty if London but is the same principle to be ap- piled to Lemberg, which the Poles have just taken from the Ukranians after bloody battle?
