OUR FRIENDSHIP FOR FRANCE

It is to be doubted whether the visit of M. Clemenceau, former Premier of France and one of the Big Four responsible for the Yer sailles Treaty, will be able to accomplish great deal in the direction of its avowed pur- pose The presence in the United States of the unique and vigorous personality known internationally as the s'Tger'' of France, IS an event of general and hospitable interest, and in the hearts of most of his audience his plea for the friendly understanding and fel- lowship of Americans will be heard with sym pathy That sympathy, however, will not be untinged with regret that largely on account of the attitude of France toward America fol- with whole hearted and spontaneous friend of America must now be asked for. It was with whole hearted and spontaneous friend ship accorded to no other European nation in volved, that the United States flung itself and its resources to the rescue of France the invasion of whose soil and the barbarous de struction of whose people and institutions aroused responsive cry in liberty-lovlng people. We gave unstuntedly of our treas ure. both in men and means, and without thought of ultimate profit to ourselves, and as a result of that giving the existence of France and the civilization of Europe were saved. The grudging bitterness with which that aid was admitted when the war was won was startling awakening to the American people In the face of the enormous gifts of money and service we have contributed, the general anathema in which we have since been held in France no less than elsewhere Tn Europe and the accusations of selflshness Tn our failure to do more, have been rude shock to our sensibilities. We are today in the unenviable position of the hated giver of Dounties.
 It is not likely that the pleas of the famous French statesman for our sympathetic under standing of France will fall upon ready ears We have been disillusioned and hurt, our motives impugned and our humanity smirched with the slur of the dollar-mark. However much we may concur in the cry of France for safety from future invasons, 1t IS not prob able that we shall be in haste to risk again the obloquy which has fallen upon us for helping to repel them. It is sad commen- tary on the vagaries of human nature that g once sincere friendship should have been wrecked by excess good will.

LETTERING GAME ADMINISTRATION

Every year or so there crops up proposal to enact new game measure for Alaska. In all these proposals the inherent defect IS Tn the fact that the majority of the provisions of the measures drafted are prepared by indiv- iduals or organizations foreign to the Terri tory and are aimed at benefits for residents of other sections of the country rather than for Alaska In other words, it is not legislation by and for Alaskans but by and for everybody else except residents of the Territory.
 In the measure introduced by Delegate Sutherland the last session of Congress, that same ground for criticism is present. While MT. Sutherland is sponsoring the measure at no time has he claimed authorship and it's striking similarity to the copies of measure circulated in Alaska almost two years ago by Dr. E. W. Nelson, Chief of the Bureau of Bio logical Survey, makes it virtually certain that it is the same bill with but a few minor changes. The Delegate frankly recognized the
