WHAT BORAH THINKS OF FUTURE CONFLICTS

The nation which will be best prepared to meet the next shock of war, should that misfortune come, will be the nation which is economically strong and fnan- cially sound-the nation whose people are contented and loyal and physically and morally fit.
 If l should express an opinion as to the most insurmountabIe obstacles to world peace and to the general world security. I would name, firstly, the huge public debts covering every na- ton of the globe, with their eternal eXactions from the peo- pie; secondly, the constantly in creasing tax burdens, which un oermlne and destroy the physic- al and moral Well-being of those upon whom a government must rely in time of attack; thirdly which is stating the last pro- position in another form-the building up of vast bureaucra- cies, putting upon the people the expense of unnecessary offices and wasteful officials, thus de- stroying the initiative and self reliance essential to good citi- zenship.

TOLERANCE IS NEEDED

In the present state of unrest, With crime rampant throughout the land, the need of tolerance, the cooperation among honest and well-meaning people is greater than ever before.
 Too much energy is being wasted in fruitless Wrangles ov- CT politics, religion and other controversial matters and too little is being spent in sincere efforts to promote higher stand ards of public and private con- duct.
 People will always have differ ent views on many questions md no amount of argument or abuse will ever lead us all to the same way of thinking. It is pro- per to have convictions and to stand by them. but we should accord the same rights to our neighbors.
 On many vital problems of our time a majority of people could agree, if they would only lay aside unimportant differ ences and join in advancing those things that are really worth while.
 We are favored in prosperity and opportunity beyond all oth- CT nations, yet We are wasting a great portion of our priceless heritage through SC II ele s Wrangling over trivial matters. Above all things else, we need to cultivate the spirit of true bro therhood.-SeWard Gateway.

CIVILIZED

The people of these United States are spoken of as being a highly civilized and enlightened people. One often wonders just how We differ from the "heathen Chinee," " the heather Indian , "the heather African" and "the heather everything"
 In this country, of course may be seen science at it's high point of development; books touching every conceivable subject; we have every comfort or luxory that home could want and amuscments for every desire; protection for human life has many agencies and, we know more, geographically, than did cur forefathers.
 Most of these advantages were had by the Greeks, not all, yet with admiration we point to the Greek civilization. Proof of their enlightenment was their tolerance.
 Which tolerance does not mean that We shall stand with out opinion of any sort or con- Ilction, worth upholding. It means that we shall respect oth- CT peoples rights even as we would have ours respected.
 Judged by this standard, this country is civilized. Intolerance is that part of heathen barbara asm that rides rough shod over CT the rights of others and has no respect for the opinion or wishes of the weak.
 Yes, these United States are highly civilized, insofar as sci erce, invention, and so forth. are concerned. But using in tolerance as the yardstick of our civilization, we are not much r2ore civilized than the "ignor- ant heathen" We condemn.

ONE MAN RULE

Investment by men with small capital in the canning business in Alaska, is more than a gam kle-it is virtually financial suicide.
 The autOcratic rule and mis- rule of our fisheries is such that any investment in gear is a gamble. Seasons may be opened or closed at the whim and ca price of one man whose ways gre illogical ad beyond the un- derstanding of Alaskans.
 In 1921 was presented the House Committee on Marine and Fisheries, a bill which provided that the Commissioner of Fish cries along with a board of Alas kans composed of one cannery- man, one white fisherman, one Indian fisherman and one other to be chosen by these four. This commission to have charge of the administration of the fisher jes. Local objection was made to having an Indian fisherman on the board; the cannerS ob- jected to the white fisherman on that board and finally the pack CTS preferred administration by a federal cOmmiSsiOner to one appointed from representative Alaskan citizens.
 It is know seen and admitted that this plan put before Con- gress by the Alaska Native Bro- therhood was the best ad most fair plan yet presented. A rule by a board with sufficient local representation to be a check on m autocratic bureaucrat and at the same time administer regu- lations in such manner as would not make a gamble of invest ment in the industry.

INVESTIGATIONS VERSUS
 OBSERVATIONS

Investigations" by the fish bureau and fish and game com missions rarely if ever agree with the observations of reliable fish o~ncn who study their industry n it's every angle-from catch ing to selling.
 It is a known fact that sea lions follow trolling boats and destroy more than "8 to 16 pounds 3 day" which they are supposed to feed on. It is 2 known fact that the sea lion does not eat all the fish they kill for many many salmon escape the clutches of the sea lion only to die of wounds. What good observations of tame sea lion" that have lost their predatory habits by virtue of being hand fed with trough fish" no longer alive?
 As between the investigations of the fish and game commission we will accept the observations Of reliable and reputable fish erman whose evidence is thru a period of years on the ocean while the investigations" of the hsh and game commission of California is over 9 period of one summer and that with tame sea lions or other pets.

 sea lions are deStroyers of the salmon species. The story fol- low:
 Sea Lions Wrongfully Accused
 Says Report California Coast Commercial fishing interests have for long time denounced the colonies of sea lions which exist on the coast of Southern California claiming that they
 are very destructive to fish and are injuring fisheries interests.
 An investigation of this claim has been made by authority of the California division of fish and game and it has been found that the charges against the
 sea lions to be greatly exagger- lated.
 Two extensive counts were Irlade of the seaIions on the Cal Iifornia coast, as well as a sur voy of their habits and food 1o- quirements. It was found that there are about 5000 sea lions of two species on the entire coast of California between Ore
 gon and Mexico.
 While fishermen claim that sea lions consume about 50 pounds of fish each day, records of feeding these animals in cap tlvity indicate that they eat from eight to 16 pounds a day.
 It is also found that most of the fish they consume are not of the more deSireabIe species but con- .sist chiefly of so-called rough fish of little commercial value. They also feed upon other or
