The High Price
OF DcfenSeleSSneSS
By George B. Lockwood.

The settlement of international dis
putes by force is relic of barbarism.
1t ought to fall into as complete dis
use among civilized nations as the
duelling code. War has become 50
deadly, so mechanical, so destructive
to economic life not only in the ma
ton Immediately affected, but
throughout the world, that 1t has
ceased to appeal even to the spirit OF
adventure. Moreover we have learned
by experience that in any great war
all combatants lose. What may ap-
parently be gained is more than over
balanced by the losses sustained IN at
tanning the objective of victory. But
some may lose more than others.
1t is therefore surprising that SO
many people affecting an interest IN
peace are willing to subject the United
States to the danger of further IN
Movement not only in war, by preach
ing the doctrine of American UMPIRE
paredness for war. 1t is significant
that most of our preachers of Ameri-
can unpreparedness are not we'll
known for any particular sympathy
with the institutions of this country,
and many of them have very decided
preferences for the institutions and
interests of other countries. But there
are agitators of unpreparedness VINO
have no special enmity to the gov
eminent of the United States. Yet
they are willing that the youth Of this
country should be subjected to the
danger of slaughter in war for
which this country would be UMPIRE
pared by putting this nation in a
state of defenselessness that would
invite attack, and make certain our
involvement IN war. Of course, nation
al defense cannot be improvized IN an
emergency, it must be looked after
in a time of peace in order to have
any effectiveness whatever.
The American people have no rea-
son and no desire to become involved
in war. They enjoy an economic inde-
pendence which has been attained by
no other people in the world. All that
they ask is to be let alone; yet the
worlds richest nation has no guaran-
tee Of being let alone; indeed state
of unpreparedness would make it
certain that we would not escape the
aggressions of nations, better pre-
pared for war, and possessing less
wealth and economic power.
The United States is the greatest
the world, because, for one thing, the
American people have less reason fol-
resorting to war than any other peo-
pie. Needing nothing that belongs te
their neighbors, they have no DISPOSE.
ton to attempt to wreak their vii
by force. 1t must be said in extenu
alton of the war spirit in some other
nations, that economic necessity com
pels them to reach beyond their Dor
ders for the territory and resource:

GAME CONDITIONS IN
 INTERIOR IMPROVED

Game conditions are apparently improved and bearing animals are about normal in the Interior, according to H. w. Terhune, EXecu- tive Officer of the Alaska Game Commission, who returned early this week from a seven weeks trip in that region. About the usual number of nonresident hunters are in the field in the Kodiak, Kenai Peninsula and Alaska Peninsula regions and there has been an in crease in the number of hunters in the Fairbanks district.
 Moose are holding their own in practically all sections with no ap- preciable change in the number of animals reported. Despite the depredations made on them by wolves and coyotes. the caribou herds are reported to be in good shape.
 A sorry condition was observed ii the beaver situation. Tn the areas where trapping was permitted for i the past three years, all of the 1 lower reaches of the streams wef stripped of the animals. On the i headwaters of the streams, how ever, in several instances, an over-
 supply of animals was reported
 Owing to difficulties of direct SUI
 pervision of trapping, it was mol
 believed possible to open the over stocked areas to trapping for feai they, too, would be stripped ant
