A WELCOME SERVICE

The proposed establishment of an aerial service between Valdez and Fairbanks, as an nounced ill yesterdays issue of The Citizen, will be welcomed by all residents of this sec ton of the country Its benefits would be many and undoubtedly the enterprise would be given support by local merchants and private individuals in measure that would materially aid in making the venture profitable one.
 The successful operation of such an aerial route would mean that the interior ot Alaska would be brot several days closer to the Out side world The size of the machines which the new corporation proposes to use would in sure the practical value of the route. The investment which the company is to make IS not an excessive one, and represents little more than is ordinarily tied up in equipment and stock by any stage company seeking to give a,leuuate service between Fairbanks and the coast.
 There is no reason why such a service should not be successful from the very outset. The company is not experimenting with an t1n- tried machine, but with one that has demon- strated its serviceablity. The distance be- tween Fairbanks and Naldez-is not great, and the country is of such a nature that the air passage should not be difficult. The average winter weather should not be great handicap and this can probably be entirely eliminated after few trial trips.
 The local Commercial Club has for months been agitating the establishment of an aerial mail service from coast to interior It has taken the matter up with the postal de- i H., T,:4o oI ,1o,- of Commerce. Now that an Outside organza- ton has announced its intention of entering the field, the club should get into communica- ton with the promoters and give them any data, or other assistance it is able to supply

TIME FOR NEW POLICY.

Unless the house of representatives takes some action on the future militant policy of the United States before it recesses next Sat- urday, the American forces will be upon pre- clsely the same footing when the house again meets as it was at the outbreak of the war with Germany in April, 1917. The country will have the same regular army, and compos- ed ot practically the same men, with the ex- ception of those who have been killed or in- capacitated for further service, and the old national guard system that was used before the war.
 Other nations are taking up their military policies and arranging for the future. The question of disarmament will be taken up at the first meeting of the League of Nations next fall. The size of Germany's forces has been regulated. France is trying to see how few soldiers she can get along with in her armies rather than how strong she can make them. In that country there is much favora- ble talk about the adoption of the Swiss mili- tary system.
 The experience of France, Great Britain and the United States shows that great masses of men can be put in the field with only few months training. The highly drilled auto- llldIOll O1 lllS OCl llldll SCIV1CC Has Dccu UlS- placed by the specialized and educated ino vidual. The nation which trains its men fol some sort of skilled work is certain to be stronger in war than the one which compels them to undergo two or three years of non productive dissipation of energy. A great standing army of the old type can no longer threaten the peace of the world but would rather weaken the nation maintaining it.
 Secretary Bakers plan for voluntary enlistment with numerous army schools is finding some favor. It is believed that it will provide every necessary safeguard, especially since he asks that it be reinforced by a re- serve corps of officers numbering 16,0O0 which would be capable of handling men upon a moments notice.
 Until his plan is adopted, however, the old system will obtain. The only manner in which it may be altered is by congressional action. This should be taken at once

But it is noticeable that none of the leaders of the opposition have accepted his invitation to confer with him, nor has he been asked to appear before the foreign relations committee, as he intimated some time ago he would be glad to do.
 Having done all that he can do in Wash ington at present. there is no longer any pressing need for him to remain there and there will be less reason for his presence after Saturday when the house of representativ recesses for several weeks.
 He can now proceed to make good his promise to go before the country in defense of the League of Nations When he asks the country what shall it profit America if it gains material benefits but loses the confidence of the world, he is pretty sure to get an an- swer. The people to whom he addresses him self will listen understandingly even tho Messrs. Knox, Sherman, Lodge and Borah have not understood. When he tells them that the League of Nations and the treaty depend largely upon faith, they are going to know what he is talking about and thru them even the opposition senators may come in due time to realization of that faith and an under standing of its works

A SERIOUS QUESTION.

From daily telegraphic reports it is now apparent that the unrest growing out of the high cost of living is not to be taken too lightly. Widespread discontent is apparently sweeping the country on account of increas- ing prices and the government is beginning to recognize the necessity for action.
 That the government takes the question seriously is clearly indicated by the decision of the house of representatives to abandon its proposed five weeks recess and remain in order to cooperate with the administration in finding ways and means of reducing the present high prices. Cabinet officials too are giving their time to the matter, and while they deliberate and investigate more and more strikes are recorded.
 Several state governments are also waking up to the situation which confronts them. All express determination to get at the bottom of prices and the reason for their continued elevation. It is to be hoped that early suc- cess will attend their efforts, as the present agitation is unsettling America both indus trialy and economically.
The weekly Alaska citizen., 1919-08-04
RACE RIOTS.

From recent developments it is apparent that the country is witnessing an extension of the so-callled race problem involving the ne gro. It is not improbable that the race riots recently occurring in the national capital and which were yesterday reported in pro- gress in Chicago may break out in other cities having substantially large negro popu- lations.
 From the accounts of the trouble receiv- ed by telegraph, it appears that in each in- stance they were precipitated by acts of vio- lence by negroes. And these acts were ap- parently upheld by numbers of this race who resisted official attempts by police authorities to arrest the perpetrators and restore order. The state of mind underlying such an attitude and the cause for it can only be guessed at. But it is significant fact that several negro publicists thruout the country have recently been insisting that their race must have fuller recognition as result of the war.
 While the troubles are serious in them selves they contain no grave menace as long as they are confined to that section of the coun- try where the white population is preponder- antly in the majority. The loss of life and racial friction created in such places are re- groes will be able to stir up any real "race war" in Chicago or any other northern city
 It is south of the Mason and Dixon line where the real danger lies, if there is any. In numerous towns and counties there is larger negro population than white and race war started there would be dangerous and productive of real disaster. It is to be hoped that the present Chicago riots are not
