ALASKAN AFFAIRS
tFrom ketchikan Chrunicle)

tFrom ketchikan Chronicle)
 Sometimes tho people of Alaska would seem justified in saying with Artemus Ward. We are governed ? mutch." The territory has never suf fered from any dearth of federal reg ulations from the days of Stewards Folly" down to our own time There. is a happy medium between the con- temptuo,rs neglect of sixty years ago and the excessive bureaucratic pater- nalism of the present. |. is not more red tape that is wanted where the darkened fifties dip to the north. /" It is d rational scientific management which avoids overlapping jurisdiction and allows of the proper use of capital in liiumoting industry, while c,n-bing the activities of the profiteer.
 In the fifteen years from 1903 70 1918 the value of Alaska's exports grew from twelve to seventy-five million dollars. The natural resources except for gold, ;me still for the most par. in the pioneer stage of development. AL aska is to be incalculably more volu- able in the future.
 Charles F. Curry, chairman of the House cumnittae which has 70 deal with Alask;l, is right in his insstence on the enorn4ous importance of a ra- tional scheme for dealing with suc1, vast and multiplied interests as Alaska ilepresents.

 NEW YORK ROTARY CLUB

New York, May 31.-Bishop William T. Manning of the Episcopal church to- day reiterated his belief that it is right for Americans to carry and display on all suitable occasions the flags of those nations that fought with us in the war"
 Bishop Manning was the principal speaker at luncheon given by the New York Rotary Club in honor of the HOO Rotarians who will sail tomorrow on the steamers Caronia and Cameronia for Great Britain The delegates will rep- resent the Associated Rotary Clubs of America at the twelfth annual conven- tion of international Rotarians to be held at Edinburgh, Scotland, June 13- .16.
 Bishop Manning praised the overseas mission of the Rotarisns and said it un- doubtedly would have a great influence in cementing the friendship of the na- tions.
 A letter from President Harding ex- pressed his regret at his inability to at tend the luncheon. He asked the dele gates to accept a brief message in tes- timony of his sincere interest in their mission.
 Tt seems to me that there is oppor- unity for every great service in the cause of good international relations in your visit to Europe at this time" wrote  President Harding. Tt cannot but he altogether desirable that the peoples of the great English speaking countries shall establish more and more intimate social relations and constantly improve their understanding of each other
 The burden of obligations which rests upon these peoples in the present Juncture of world affairs is one that can not be shirked and that can only h. borne if there is the fullest symnatby and earnest purposes of cooperation and patience among us all
 "As your splendid delegation of ren. resentat1ve Americans goes away on this mission of amity and interna tional rool will want every one of you to know how earnestly hope for good and heln. ful results from your visit to the United Kingdom.
 T know the mission will do credit tc our country and am sure it will make fo, that fuller understanding which all th. world so greatly needs now"

 THE COTTON INDUSTRY

New York May 31.-American cotton growers, manufacturers and affiliated in terests. at their national conference to- day called upon the federal government to aid in the rehabilitation of the cotton industry.
 The government was urged in reso- lutions: n
 To authorize and grant more lfb- eral expansion of credits on farm loans.
 To lower the federal reserve bank rediscount rate without delay to a fig ure not in excess of per cent. on the rediscounts of farm products and all commercial paper.
 To instruct the war finance corporation and department of commerce to render all possible aid in opening uD exnorts for cotton and other American raw nro. ducts. So as to stimulate the moveren nj and consumption of such commodities as rapidly as possible
 Restrictions of credits and high rate of redscout charged on farm loans. the resolution said, had rendered it inn possible for farmers to plant and cul- tivate normal cotton crop in 1921 and indications were thrat the cotton acrea ge would be the smallest planted in the last g years.
 President Hardings message to the convention pledglng the cooperation of the administration in improving condi. tons In the cotton industry was declar. ed to be one of statesmanship and true Americanism and the delegates to the world cotton conference in England were urged to present it at that gathering. A message was sent to the president thank. ing him for his interest in the indus. try.
