looked back to my first meet
ing with Mr.. Lane, eighteen years
ago at Sacramento. He was the
central figure in scene of tumult-
uous enthusiasm, acknowledging the
cheers of the Democratic State con-
vention, as its nominee for governor
of California. He almost overcame a
mountainous Republican majority
missing the election by only about

recalled his singularly successful
service as corporation counsel OF
San Francisco, when he rendered a
series of decisions on vital public
questions, not one of which was
reversed by the courts.
/ remembered his visit to the
White House in the interest of the
Hetch Hetchy water supply, and
how President Roosevelt liked him
at sight, and then and there de-
termined to appoint him to the
first vacancy on the Interstate Com
merce Commission. As member, and
finally, as chairman, of that i'm
portant tribunal, he repeated his
early experience by rendering a
series of decisions on fundamental
problems that were sustained by
the highest courts in the land.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10
Replying to the request of Poland
for American support in the settle
ment of the Upper Silesian question,
Secretary of State Hughes has made
it plain in formal note that U. S.
representatives abroad will take no
part in the Silesian discussion. The
secretary declares that it is tradi-

to not become involved in matters
of purely European concern.

ALASKA AT TOP OF LIST a
FOR EUROPEAN RELIEF

In subscriptions to the relief of
starving European children, Alaska
stands at the head of the United
States on the national collection,
according to information received
recently by Governor Tfos. Riggs.
from the national headquarters. The
quota of Alaska, on basis of
S33. 100000 for the entire country,
had been fixed by the Control COM
mittee for the European council at
100000, and the amount actually
subscribed by the territory is ap-
proximately $4,000, according TO
figures given out by the governor,
who acted as territorial chairman
i in the campaign for funds.
In letter received by Governor
Riggs from H. L. Gutterson, of the
. Control committee, it is stated: SIT
is with greatest pleasure that we
are able to tell you that Alaska
stands at the head of the United
States on the national collection.
Basing our original estimate for
each locality on readjustment of
the Red Cross war drive quota down
to $33,OOO,O0O basis, we had put
! Alaska down at $4,000. Your letter
stating that you will realize approx
imately $4,000. assures Alaska of
the first place by very large
margin.
ut may be interesting to you to
know that the Hawaiian Island is
second, New Hampshire third, Ore
gon fourth, Rhode Island fifth, Min
| nesota sixth, South Dakota seventh,
Michigan eighth, Alabama ninth and
Arizona tenth.
"* We have succeeded in
raising in cash to date $27,750, 900.
In addition to this, we have certain
other resources and expectances
from a few states that have not yet
| finished which will bring us well
over $29,OOO,OOO. In view of the
fact that the original program
was made up early last fall, when
/ the price of foodstuffs was consider
ably higher than at the present
time, this sum of money will ade-
quately cover the program laid out
by the European Relief Council,
and so we can close knowing that
we have carried on the only sue
cessful national collection since the
war and also knowing that it has
UScH uoiie al d IOWeT cOSl tHdu any
national campaign that we know of.
The cost has been less than two and
one-half per cent.
Zone outstanding feature of the
campaign has been the innumerable
small subscribers. The plight of the
European children has appealed to
the American imagination far be-
yond what we thought it would and
the knowledge that the money was
being expended under the direction
of Mr.. Hoover and by the four
largest relief organizations in this
country inspired confidence among
givers Of every class.
"Please accept our most hearty
appreciation of your cooperation
and congratulations on the response
that the good people of Alaska
have given to you and your COM
mittee."

II look on America as great
experiment-as much of an expert
ment as a human life. 1t is living
thing which can make determine
ton for itself. 1t must falter and
fail at times that it may learn. The
test is: Does it carry en?"
/ stood with Franklin X. Lane
at one of the southern windows of
his office in the great building of
the Interior Departmental monu-
ment, by the way, to his own adj
ministration, built in the second
year of his term-gazing out across
the Potomac to the snow-clad hills
of Virginia, a few days before he
surrendered his portfolio to become
a private citizen Looking back upon
his twenty-one years Of public
service, and contemplating with gen.
uine sadness the early severance of
his relations with great public af-
fairs and with the thousands of
men and women who Grave worked
with him, rather than under him,
he found himself in a philosophical
mood and disposed to adventure
into an undiscovered country-the
social and economic future.
'Yes," he repeated, "the acid
test of America in the fateful years
that lie just ahead is the answer
to that question-Does it carry on?
Our policies are to be determined
always by the ends we have in view.
Our fiber is to be judged by the
steadfastness with which we pursue
these ends. Our past history gives
US what we call our traditional at
titude. To gain and to maintain
that attitude is the essence of our
Americanism; and it is an attitude
that expresses itself from generation
to generation in different ways be-
cause Of different problems which
must be met. Therefore we do not
treat any bit of machinery as sac
rosanct. We ask that it shall serve
the high end of our national life,
and, if it fails, it goes the way of
the outgrown, the obsolescent."
"Do you mean that the time has
come to change our institutions
in a word, for revolution?" I asked.
He shook his head and wrinkled
his brow with the air of a man
who wishes to make his meaning
very explicit. america is to me
not rigid, automatic machine"
he said, "but a climbing, animated
hope; therefore, I am not unwilling
to have anything that is American
subjected to challenge, scrutiny and
study. But 1 ask that what has been
devised shall not be discarded until
a thing better has been devised and
can be substituted, and it must be
proved to be better. There is the
thought that / believe must be en-
phasized more and more to our
people: That thinking in a vacuum
is no better than dreaming; that
the test of craftsmanship or of the
value of any plan is its practicability
in an environment that is not ideal
that political institutions and social
institutions are like religious in

stitutions, based upon the recogni-
ton of imperfect human nature. 1t
is far easier to be Mazzini than
a Cavour.
"The American attitude toward
our problems is that each man shall
have his chance; but this chance
must come to him under definite
rules; it cannot come to him, we
believe, in condition of chaos.
The American is not slobber-j awed
and loose-minded, but a believer in
definite and precise thinking, in
planning, and in the value of pur-
pose. Before he lifts his foot he
wishes to know where his next
foothold is to be. The mountain-top
is his objective, and how he is to
get there he cannot in detail say,
but he knows that he cannot get
there by looking at the mountain
top; he must keep his eyes on the
immediate rock that he is scaling,
for mountains are not climbed by
flight, but by steps.
"Our aim is to make this the
best of all lands; our belief is that
we can accomplish this through the
releasing of the latent qualities in
all of the people; that no one, and
no few, can do as much in this
direction as all can if the inhibition
of caste and of material dependence
are lifted. Free men will formulate
free institutions through which they
can work in an orderly way, making
waste only of those things which
have proved useless.
"This I take to be the philosophy
of American democracy. 1t is a
philosophy of progress based on ex-
pertinent, arising out of sure
faith that our attitude is unuues-
tionably right, and that it will in
time, and perhaps by difficult pro-
cess, be translated into concrete
social improvements"
turned my mind back seven
years to the beginning of his ad-
ministration as Secretary of the
Interior. The first and most urgent
problem that awaited his decision
was the troubled territory of Alaska,
enmeshed for years in acrimonious
discussion; ruled by outside politi.
clans; its resources bottled up in
the name of conservation, and in,
accessible for lack of internal trans.
portation-the whole wonderf u
treasure-house little but the football
of politics and the plaything Of
sensational journalism.
Did Alaska "carry on? Hardly
1t could not under the circumstanc
es. The new secretary's first act
was to nominate a real Alaskan a:
governor-the first in the whole
history of the territory. Next hi
urgently recommended the construc
ton of trunk railway from Sew
ard to Fairbanks as the only possible
way of opening the country to thu
enterprise of small capitalists a.
well as great. Then came the leas
ing of the coal fields and the mi
tiation of development in those neg
lected fields of vast potential value
