 There is a great deal of talk about what MT Lewis said in accepting the Nobel Pl<;e some of 1t as to whether he intended to praise America or condemn it. and of it as to his taste in undertaking to do either. But none of it, so far as we can make out, touches the main point, which is whether 1t was good speech. It does not strike us as good speech Most of it was stewed lover Mencken the ideas about universities our re- spect Tor architecture, the American Institute of Arts and Letters about the immortal and the damned were all expressed in Baltimore long before they were heard in Stockholm. But with this diff ference: When Mir. Mencken expresses them they hold big measure of truth, but when MT Lewis expresses them they ring false The reason is that Mencken, if he does not exactly have an Olympian view of the human scene; at least has an internal view. Mephistopheian he may be- but he is bigger than the personalities he indulges n and thus achieves perspective which in such things the first requisite of life
 But MT. Lewis. trying personalities, gets squarey their level between the abuse he uttered last week and the pettiest attack ever eveled at him by
 local booster there is not enough difference to be worth discussing In proof of this, it is only sary to glance at his remarks about his private l. knew-him when club Consider, alas the appalling nsufficiency that is revealed by this. Here is accorded the highest honor that his craft may win: he stands up with prepared manuscript in the full knowledge that the world is listening, and from that manuscript, where it is carefully typed out, he reads paragraph informing the world that there a number of people who used to know him before he famous, and who there fore assume that he cannot amount to much Was there ever such a puerile piece of informa- ton?
 The truth, it seems to us, is that at the big moment of his life MT. Lewis Ake Chekovs man who built house, furnished library, bought pens paper and ink and then found he had nothing to say. The best he could muster collection of gags, anecdoes and complaints, suitable for literary luncheon: at point you almost ex- pected him to say few words on the copyright law And that probably, is the main reason why the country is so rritated by him. Whether he realized it or not in accepting this prize he also accepted the job of representing the United States a formal occasion. And he represented the United States very badly.

Yet that is the effect of the suggested policy in relation to the forests
 The pulp and paper manufacturers who pre- pairing to to Alaska coming here because of the availability of the very which it is now sought to export in unmanufactured shape. Ii the Forest Service, reversing itself as to non- exportation, should throw down the bars on spruce why not hemock and invade the pupwood market at Ocean Falls and Powell River and on Puget Sound? Exportation of hemlock logs or squares is reasonable as that of spruce. But to do so would foreclose forever our chances for newsprint manufacturing industry.
 
 New industries can only be based on natural resources Southeast Alaska's are minerals fish and timber. Gold mined here, is likewise milled here Fish caught here processed in some form or other here. Our taxes derived from them very largely Likewise the timber that is cut here should be manufactured here creating varied indus tries which in turn will pay into the treasury of Alaska their fair share of Governmental admnis- tratve costs and support their commensurate pro- portion of the Territorial population. Any other form of development is economically and ndustrially 
 We are convinced that the Forest Services non- exportation policy is well-advised In times of diversity however the wisest of policies are subject to modification. Under present conditions in order to relieve unemployment among Alaska loggers and to abnormal stress from the local logging companies, temporary Guspen- sion of the prohibition against log exports might be advisable But that should be done with caution so that relief will be given to existing interests and not in such manner to encourage the establishment of new logging firms and used to foster logging export brokerage business

TALK DESCRIBED AS JoCULAR.
Philadelphia Pastor Inclined to Think
Navy Action Was Harsh.

PHIL ADELPHIA, January 20
(N.ANA)-"A very genial, kindly,
friendly address, delivered in a jocular
manner" is the way Maj. Gen. Smedley
D. Buffers much-discussed speech be-
fore the Contemporary Club here is
described by the clubs president, Rev.
DR.. Frederick r. Griffin.
DR.. Griffin, pastor of the First Uni
tartan Church, presided at the meeting
of the club in the Bellevue Stratford on
the evening of January 10, when Gen.
Butler was one of three speakers dis
cuSsing the prevention of war.
Gen. Butler spoke in jocular man
ner," DR.. Griffin remarked, "and I
think his whole address should be con-
sidered rather than a fragment Of it
taken out of its context"
Although he declined to make any
definite comment for or against that
part of Gen. Buffers speech which has
aroused the ire of the italian Ambas-
sador and caused the general to be
ordered before a general court-martial,
DR.. Griffin was inclined to believe the
action of the Navy Department rather
harsh.
However, if the Government wishes,
I will be glad to give my version of the
address and express my reaction to il"

Race to Determine Relative Speed

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 30.-The dis
eovery that the Canadian rum-runner
Josephine K. is slower craft than the
Coast Guard cutter which shelled her
last Saturday night, killing her master,
stirred up trouble in international
water today.
At the suggestion of Gerald Campbell,
British consul general, the two boats
played a return engagement yesterday
in the lower bay and at the finish mark
it was determined that cutter No. las
averaged Ills knots, while the rum
runner Jagged at 9.55 knots.
Over emile course between West
Beach Light and Old Orchard Light
the vessels duplicated the race in which
Capt. william P. Cluett was fatally
wounded With the same crew that
manned her before the cutter steadily
narrowed the gap between the jose
phine K, operated this time by a Coast
Guard personnel. Under a Commute
handicap, as before, the cutter had
gained nearly a half mile when the
race was over
Boatswain Karl Schmidt, commander
Of the cutter, had commended before the
board of inquiry that he was forced to
IRE on the rum-rummer because she
was drawing away from him toward the
open sea and he feared she would es-
cape.
At the close of the demonstration
Comdr. John r. Bryant, head Of the
board, refused to comment, but said
the complete findings would be for
warded today to rear Admiral Frederick
@. Billiard, commandant of the Coast
Guard, In Washington.

APOLOGY SoOTHES ITALY

ROME, January 80 (P).-The annoy
ance of Premier Mussolini at remarks of
Mai. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, describ-
ing him as a ilit-and- run driver and
of warlike nature. was said in official
circles today to have been assuaged
by an official apology from the Ameri-
can Government.
The Duce was represented as con-
sidering now that Gen. Buffers views
were those of only one American gen.
eral and not of the American people.
His attitude has Gained somewhat a
rising tide of popular indignation and
appears to have closed what might
have been an unpleasant incident
In a speech at Philadelphia last
week, the Marine officer quoted an
American friend as having told him
that Mussolini, after running into and
killing a child, drove his car on at a
high speed and answered the Ameri-
cans remonstrances with: What is one
life in the affairs of a state?"
Evening papers, issued after the
apology became known, did not COM
ment, but morning papers were in
censed. La Tribuna said: This is not
the first time that Gen. Butler has
created incidents for his Government
with his impudent and fantastic
speeches"
A spokesman at the foreign office
said the Butler speech was without
foundation 1t was pointed out that
it was doubtful if Premier MusSolini
had ridden with many Americans in an
automobile, and that when he drove
he usually was accompanied only by
his chauffeur.
Full satisfaction to Italy," was the
three-column headline today over Pic
colo's New York and Washington dis

Square Stand on Schools.
Laval took a square stand on the
matter of secularization of the schools,
declaring that he upheld the right OF
every child to free education and that
he intended to work toward that end.
The declaration said the Government
intends to turn Immediately to the pas
sage of budget and to the matter OF
colonial loans, both of which have been
on the docket for months.
The spectators galleries were crowd
ed when the young premier mounted
the rostrum to read his first declara-
ton. From the seats of the Right and
the Centrist deputies there was hearty
applause, but the Left side of the House
was silent.
Two Communist deputies who recent
" were released from prison on a reso-
luton of the chamber, interrupted the

make us sorry that you were liberated"
