MUST MOBILIZE RESOURCES

Unless European productivity can be rap idly increased, there can be nothing but pol itical, moral and economic chaos finally inter preting itself in loss of life on a scale hither- to undreamed of, says Herbert Hoover, head of the inter-allied relief commission in an an alysis of the economic situation in Europe just published in the British National Food Journal.
 "The entire surplus productivity of the Western hemisphere is totally incapable of meeting the present deficiency in European production If 1t is long cOntlnued,' the analyst asserts "Nor could credits be moblzed for this purpose for more than a short period be- cause all credits must necessarily be simply an advance against the return of commodities i'll exchange and credits will break down the in stant that the return of commodities becomes improbable Further, if such credits be ob- tained for more than temporary purposes, it would result in economic slavery of Europe to the Western hemisphere and the ultimate end would be war again.
 MT. Hoover points out this solution of the European economic problem: "A vigorous realization of the actual situation in each country of Europe and a resolute statesman ship based on such a realization-the popula tions of Europe must be brot to a realization that productively must be instantly increased
 In the present-day European 1erment, MT. Hoover says, ''every economic patent me dlclne" has Hooked under the banner of so- cialism or communionism which has claimed to speak for all the down-trodden-to alone bespeak human sympathy
 Experimentation in varying forms of these political leanings-socialism and com munisrn-has so far, in every case, resulted in reduced production, the food controller says.
 Europe's threatened coal famine, the an alysis says is due in the largest degree to the human factor of the limitation of effort"
 Western assistance in the form of its devotion of surplus productivity to Europe's needs, lis a service that the Western hemis- phere must approach with a high sense of human duty and sympathy concludes MT. Hoover. "The economic burden on the west should not last more than year and can be carried and will be repaid. To effect these re- suits, the resources of the Western hemis- phere and of Europe must be mobilized"

A TYPE OF GENTLEMAN
(Ketchikan Chronicle. )


 During the hearings in the contest of Wickersham against Grigsby, there appeared on the witness stand one Bob Oliver, a well known and conspicuous character in Ketchi- kan. testimony was interesting in that part which referred to himself
 Upon cross examination he said he had done EIGHT HOURS work in the past year, and before that according to his state ment he had devoted his energy to 'organiz- ing fishermen to increase the production of food"
 Bob Oliver claims the credit of organz- ing fishermen, yet when he attempted to ap- pear before the legislature last year, he was by the unions.
 The world has heard great deal during the past few years of giving everything to the producer. It is a well known slogan of at least one organization that ''to the producer belongs the wealth."
 Carrying out this system to the logical conclusion, the share of wealth or food to this gentleman who has worked but eight hours the past year would be small.
 Legitimate organizers of unions have their proper places in affairs of today Men are privileged and entitled to organize them selves for collective bargaining and for the betterment of their social condition. That is recognized today by the state, by large and small business, by any student of affairs
 But in Alaska the great undeveloped where no man need be idle, it is shocking to- hear man testify, admit, that he has worked but eight hours in year and then attempt to by saying that before he was try ing to better mankind by Organizing" fisher men to ring about increased production of food
 The fishermen did we'll to repudiate him when he went to Juneau, the self-appointed spokesman for organized labor. There are too many men in the United States today who work hours in a year and constitute them selves as spokesmen for organized labor. And labor, the great mass of the people of the United States, would do well to repudiate them wherever, whenever and however they are found out
 Alaska is a land of workers and it should not be a country of gentlemen of leisure
