THE ooER

Make the best of :he worst of things, is the attiituda of he who would be wise. The optimist insists on cheerfulness. He needs it mentally as the system needs oxygen. A fake optirnist is q bubble, bright and brill iant in sunshine. but when touched with rough stuff bursts. The real hard-rock optimist is a tonic and Il jewel. He hs an expander. The world is too small for him. Inciden- tally, he is the man with the pick and shovel who starts the movement to new locations. The Yukoners knew him well.

 DON'T KID YOURSELF

A prominent citizen. talking to the editor of the Gateway. said that the item in n recent issue of the Gateway regarding the building of coal bunkers in Seward and also the prospect of |, pulp mill in this section, was more in the nature of d possibility" than a probability"
 You're right, shat was the impress sion meant to be conveyed The quicker Seward people stop kidding themselves. the better. There is no city in Alaska nor no class of citizens in the teutrtory having so much to expect. and they will realize 1t. if they go after it. But 1t is not done. Citizens sit down and wait for something to come.
 For three years. every fall. lool, for q better spring, and in the spring comes the talk. therei a fine fall ahead.
 The rtilrotd construction has gone beyond. nothing can now be expected from the commission until the railroad 1 is completed, when through traffic is offered, and Seward will be the real terminus, on the ocean.
 Forget about the commission. | As to the navy, the building of
 
 ideally decided. But what of it-there will be q couple of hundred men en- aged in the construction of the bun ke-s. then they will go Then the h,,nkers will be- operated by machin- cry with perhaps q crew of frur, ten to fifteen men. These men may make their homes at Seward espac;al:y If they are to be engaged for the year around. Golfers will come, load wi-t. in n day or so and go. The crews will purchase tobacco. magazines. and other like articles. Perhaps they will purchase clothing. But by the con. struction of coal bunkel-s at Sewarl, it does not neceasa rily mean popula'- ,tion o6 800 more or SO.
 i What is needed is another cannery, sano.her cold storage plant. because Seward is the center of the fishing tndustry in southwestern Alaska. I with the San Juan plant here and other fishing industry here. Seward will grow. It will mean that the crews of the fishing boats VIII bring their families to Seward for they will he employed here for, perhaps nine
 months of the year bringing in fish for the cold storage plants and for I'the cannezdas during the canning sea- son. These crews Will outfit here, etc las it w1l be t.esr hase.

There is more timber in Soptheaztesm Alaska for pulp wood than to the westward. There is also plenty of water power and both will be utifized before .he westward Is en. tered, according to true reasoning. Freight rates to the states from Southeastern Alaska will be cheaper than from Southwestern Alaska and thts is big item to take ,,,to con- ssderation. in competition.

CHICAGO, Dec. g, 1921.
Editor New York American:
questions now before the arms con-
ference.
First, submarines: England ,Oishing their
Number and size diminished, seeks to prevent
any nation from having any s0eapon that can
successfully repel her naval fleet.
Second: Japan, before accepting the American
proposal reducing all navies, demands that zoe
shall agree not to fortify our island possessions
in the Pacific. Stationary Qualifications can
only be used defensively, never aggressiuely.
Therefore Japan's proposal merely means that
the United States possessions must not be pre-
pared for defense sohen attacked. The United
States can haze no objection to Japan fortifying
Fornsosa and her other legitimate possessions,
because the United States has no desire or inten-
tion to attack Japan. Japan could not possibly
object to the United States erecting defense
Notifications in its oaon territory if Japan did
not contemplate ,0ar aoith the United States and
occupation By force of arms.
Third: France refuses to reduce her standing
army of SOC. 900 men, her premier says, because
France is afraid of the Russian hordes. France
needn't have trouble Nth Russia If she aOiu
Leave Russia alone. But France is continually
disturbing the peace of Europe by supporting all
sorts of armed attacks upon Russia. She has
done most of this financing NTH our American
money. France has become the aggressive,
oppressive, militaristic poaoer of Europe. Her
naihtdrists are as much menace to peace as
Germany a0as at her a0orst.
l am afraid the Disarmament Conference is
rapidly becoming a establishment conference
for Americans, Who ,osO see in actual operation
the secretve, greedy, grasping, lying policies of
foreign diplomats.
