SPAIN AND ITALY AGREE ON
TRADE PACT

abroad of similar lines of Italian

motion Of direct trade between
the two countries are the two
practical phases Of cooperation
which are now being considered
by the Spanish directory and the
Italian government, according to
information from authoritative
government circles here.
The export consortium is in the
nature Of an experiment and is.
intended to prevent destructive
competition between Italian and
Spanish products. Italian and
Spanish olive oils now compete
in the North American market;
their wines in Switzerland and
their grapes and oranges in the
Baltic provinces and in Great
Britain. 1t is reported that the
consortium will establish zones

the importance of the market and

Depreciation of both the Ira
and the peseta is causing some
difficulty to the drafters Of the
commercial treaty. 1t is under

in this regard to meet the Italian
demands, and in return the Italian
government has agreed to permit

To get out this edition it will be necessary that copy be turned in not later than Monday, December l7.

The issue will be 2,000 copies, nearly half of which will go to westward subscribers The Gateway has the largest circulation in the towns to the westward of any paper in existence. It is section which depends on Sew ard as commercial and banking point. Kodiak, kanatak, Unga and Unalaska will be well written up ln this issue, and Seward will be shown as the friend and packer of these i'm portant commercial centers.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE

While covering many points already taken up in previous reports, the an nuaI message of Governor Scott C. Bone is noticeable Tor the broad spirit of optimism which peWades his utter auces. His recommendatio ions cover a broad scope. ana include cenUalizau0n of government and the fisheries oI the Territory by coordinated system ol administration in place Ot the pres ent inefficient and wasteful bureau cratic method.
 The message touches on the need ot adequate transportation and proper hotels for tourists, a matter which has been a source of considerable study on the part ot the governor. He also advocates consolidation ot all laW-en- forcing agencies in Alaska under the Department ot Justice, move Wnlch would greatly expedite justice and make for greater economy in its ad- ministration.
 The governors report covers all parts of the Territory from Nome 10 ketchikan, and evidences a determln- ation to work for the upbuilding ot all sections. It is comprehensive docu- ment, and one which should be read by every subscriber to the Gateway

THE POWER OF UNIFICATlON

Seward has had the power or unlh- cation ot her citizens demonstrated ln the past few months, by the results produced by the efforts Ot the cham Der of Commerce. Probably for tie first time in it's history our citizens are working in spirit of cooperation remarkable to contemplate, when one realizes the smaii-town problems that arise on every hand to veX and dis turb our citiZenry.
 The past year has witnessed some excellent work on the part oI the Chamber. of which it mlght be said Ill passing, that it has just settled down to a working basis. One year ago Il was impossible to get dozen citizens together under one roof, without di- yersity of opinion that was discourag- ing to say the least. At the present time each member is working in har- mony with the organization, using his efforts to build up the town.
 Some big things are promised Sew ard for 1924, not the least of which IS the new cable, the entrance of another cold storage plant and fisheries, con- centration of railroad efforts from this port, and the permanent reopenlng or the big radio station. The erection of a large lighthouse and fog signal at Harding Passage, is also among the things promised by the administra- ton, with the establishment of reve- nue headquarters here. The pulp mill project is practically ready to start operations, and local citizens are talk ing of erecting large coal bunkers for the wholesale shipping trade. The best evidence of prosperity for Sew ard is the spirit manifested by our citizens. Unified we can exert a pow CT that will move mountains. Sepa- rately, we are the prey of every com munity desiring to take advantage ot our helplessness.

SAYS u. S. BE IMPORTING
 OIL WITHIN FIVE Y

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-David R White, an expert geologist, of the ge- ological survey, testifying at the Sen ate public lands committees inquiry on leasing naval oil reserves, predict ed that the United States would be dependent upon oil imports within five years for a large portion of it's supply. He said it was doubtful if the navy could go five years with the con- stantly increasing consumption for domestic purposes.

HELP THE NEW CLUB HOUSE

The American Legion plans the con- struction of a large club house and play ground in the near future, ground for the building having already been secured. This is one of the most im- portant steps yet entertained by any organization, as it is Stewards first club rooms, and we know of no organ ization betJ,t fitted to handle the propos. ton. h addition to the club house large playgrounds will be con- sruclvu, n,Jca up with tennis courts and every contrivance for the child ren. Every citizen of Seward should get behlnd this proposition, and buy one of more bonds in case the Legion decides to issue bonds. and if not, give a generous donation to the plan.
