SHUTS CLAIMS LEAGUE IS IN
 THE DISCARD

CAPETOWN, June 26 (by Associ- ated Press) ).-"The League of Nations has not yet responded to the great hopes of it's framers," said Christian Shuts, "but rather than rejoice over it's failure everyone should bend ener- gies to make it effective. Several things have initiated again it, notably the refusal of the United States to become member. Beyond doubt, the league depended largely on America for initial strength and success. I hope the time will come when America will appreciate the position. The su- preme council has pushed the league into the background, but it is hoped both bodies will soon unite.

The present white population of the Territory is estimated to be 36,00O, in addition to about 25,0O0 na- tives, some of whom are civilized. The industrial population of the Territory exceeds 40,0O0 The loss in popula- tion during the period of the war was due to CD men entering the military service, estimated to number 5000; CD high wages in the States; (3) the decrease in number of men employed in mining. In 1915 about $500 men were employed in the Alaska mining industry as compared with about 4,500 in 1919.
 The committee believes that under present industrial conditions it is un- desirable to make special effort to at- tract men without capital to Alaska It would be mistake to draw to Alaska g greater number of men than can be absorbed by the existing indus trial development What Alaska needs is the development of industries to give employment to labor and thus to attract population that, in turn. will give a market for local products.

 Alaska's basal industries are and al- ways will be mining and fishing, but the Territory includes large resources
