CORRESPONDENCE

Editor News-Miner:
 In your issue of March oth YOU reprint an article from the Cordova Daily Times which is based on letter written by myself to the Rev. M. J. Kip penbrock of Cordova, in answer to a telegram from him for in- formation about the Tetlln reservation and it's possible ef- fleets upon our mission, St. Tim othy's at Panama Crossing.
 In the main this article is cor rect. Had I known, however, the letter was for publication, I would have been more explicit in some details and less so in others, and I now beg that privilege.
 It seems to me the deductions contained by the captions of ,e editors is not warranted by the text of my letter, but every

their hunting, fishing and trap ping, and so not deplete the game in any one locality as it has been done to some extent at Tanana Crossing.
 Since writing the Rev. MT. Kippenbrock, I discussed this matter with MT. Irving Mex. Reed of the game commission who understands the native situation and is interested in their welfare, and he informs me that the commission has a plan to register all trap lines. If this can be done, allowing the native Alaskans first choice, and prohibiting the transfer of tlleir trap lines to anyone other than another native, it will pre- serve their natural occupation to the native people, and it appears to me to be better than establishing reservations for the same purpose, for there will be ether localities deserving: the same privilege as has been granted at Tetlin, and a prece- dent for them is now, establish ed.
 Certainly every one wants to give the native people of Alaska every opportunity to make a comfortable living for them selves and their families and it is to the interest of ali that this be done, as they spend what they get right here in the country. Most of the white trappers can go anywhere and make a home and a living, but the native people know no oth- CT home or occupation. The native and white interests in the country can best be served by sympathetic cooperation and friendly regard for each others

MT. Louis F. Paul, Editor, The Alaska Fisherman. Petersburg, Alaska. Dear Mr. Paul:
 notice an editorial by you on the subject of Indian Reser- vations in Alaska. This appear ed in the Chemawa American and again in the Native Ameri- can,
 So you may he fully advised on the purposes and reasons for the temporary withdrawal of the Tetlin area. I am enclosing a clipping from the Fairbanks News:Miner of March 11th, 1881, signed by Rev. E. A. Me- 1ntosh, and also copy of letter which I recently wrote to Irving Mex. Reed on the sub- ject.
 hope on further study you will be numbered among the friends of the project. I ap- nreciate your April issue just received
 Very truly yours,

 opinions and a free expression of the same, and II ain't mad at nobody"
 My understanding of this reservation idea at Tetlin was just to protect the native people in their ancient hunting, trap ping and fishing rights in the dist jet, and secure the same to them, undisturbed by the en- croachments of outsiders, and so make it possible for them to maintain themselves and their families in the only occupa- ton with which they are fam iliar. in the country to which they are accustomed, and in the only locality in which they would be cont9nted and happy, and not to confine them to this district as in the reservations formed in the early day of the states.
 It appealed to me as a move to give to the native people some protection in their rights as the first settlers of the coun~ try just as is accorded any other individual.

Malenkrodt, and ] said it would be a fine thing if it could be done, but in my opinion it was a physical and economic impossibility, as I know the people of these vil- lages. and the conditions, and feel justified in making the statement.
 It is practically impossible for the native people in this coun- try to settle in any large sized community as their morals physical and economic welfare

The DO-X and After

The DO-X is in New York at last-proving very
little.
When the worlds most prominent airplane takes
ten months to complete a flight from Europe to
North America, it doesn't help convince ourselves
that transatlantic air service really is in the ong.
But the DO-X is recognized among aeronautical
men as freak. Its numbering journey across the
ocean is not taken by them as any gauge OF the
ability of big airplanes to negotiate the Atlantic.
A regular, dependable, time-saving transatlantic
air service probably is not far away as the hating
flight of the DO-X would indicate. Also, it is not as
near as some of optimsts would have us believe
1t is somewhere in between, and its date will be
determined largely by the wise selection of good
weather route, and by the development of a flying
boat that can carry load from New York to Europe
in less than three days
The first problem is being tackled commercially
by the Thompson Aeronautical Corporation in its
northern route survey-a survey which Parker
Cramer and his radio recently lost their lives.
The solution of the second is being brought nearer
by the building of such flying boats as the forty
passenger Sikorsky, recently completed for the
Caribbean service of Pan-American Anyways.

There is no question that religious bgotry PLAYED

1t is interesting to know that c. Bascom semp Re-

Jameson thereafter was recommended by SIemp and

But the most important facts still are unknown

was responsible for him.

Skin Pigments

IT is an established fact that
Il failure Of the cortex or outer
layer of the adrenal glands to Sc
crete their hormone results in the
disease known as Addison's dis
ease, which is characterized by a
brown fermentation of the skin.
This leads Keith to the conclu-
sion that the white race may owe
the lack of dark pigment in its
skin to the activity of the adrenal
glands. !.
He believes that the white race is
characterized by a higher rate of
secretion upon the part of GER
tain glands than are the other
races.
Among these glands, he lists the
thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, and
gonads.
One circumstance which goes a
long way to substantiate Keith's
theory is the fact that certain CLAN
dular disturbances seem to produce
almost identical effects in the diff
ferent races.
Certain disturbances lead to the
development of defective individuals
known as mongoloids. They are
given this name because they de-

In Dry Indiana

How long viii Indiana keep up the pretense of be-
Ing in favor Of prohibition?
How long win timid politicians who control both
parties, refuse to recognize facts and apply sensible
methods Of obtaining temperance instead Of sending

How long will the night shirt of the cid Ku-Klux

How long will hypocrisy continue to rule?

a girl, robbed bank or committed any other crime,
the entire legion would have turned upon him. The
dry law is different.
Had any one of these violated any other
law, the high dignitaries of the state and nation
would have helped to prosecute him.
The one reason these officials did not protest
against violations of the dry law is because they,
too, do not believe it's violation a real crime
against conscience.
Well, the senator, the congressman, the legislators
will go back to their halls and continue to vote for
more drastic laws.
Other state officials will go to church and in SNUG

experiment.
The sherifs will go back home and catch an oc-

Thunder on the Left

The new British government seems to be making
radicals out of moderate Laborites The government
must find $6OOOOOOOO to balance the budget 1t pro-
poses in effect to take this out of the skins of the
poorest citizens No Labor party stand for that
and keep its voters.
Prime Minister Macponalds failure to carry
than corporals guard of the Labor party over into
the coalition is indicative of the sharp left wing of
the rank and file.
Of the twenty-one members of the Labor cabinet
only four followed Macdonald and of the 2S6 Labor
members of the parliament only about thirty or less
are believed to be loyal to their old middleof-the
road leader.
The number that has gone over to the radical
position thus is seen to be so great that it hardly
can be described as a party split, but really is
expulsion from the party of the very small MacDon-
I'D minority.
In that sense, the trade union organization and
parliamentary Labor party leaders are accurate in
denying that Macdonald represents them that
abor is included in the coalition government
Although the moderate Arthur Henderson, late
foreign minister succeeds to the nominal leadership
of the Labor party he already has been forced by
events to side with the left wing Henderson
should swing back to a moderate position, he prob
ably would be read out Of the party like Macdonald
and be succeeded by a younger radical.

The traits that make good mother are those
that make the good employer the good judge, the

DR.. E. v. McCollum points out
that there has been a growing ten
dency in recent times for people to
live more and more on bread,
cooked meats, canned foods and
otherwise sophisticated and refined
food preparations.
This tendency is unfortunate be-
cause such foods do not provide suf-
ficient amounts of vitamin G.
Tomatoes, celery, carrots, raw
cabbage, lettuce, watercress and any
other vegetables that can be eaten
raw are important in providing this
substance to the diet.
When the materials are cooked
and exposed to the air at the same
time, the vitamin is destroyed and
must be provided in some other
manner.

No Excuses, Please

TINE police of Queens county,
l. New York, are planning to run
down a gang of kidnapers by trail
ing a carrier pigeon with an air.

The carrier pigeon is one of four
left at various points for the pur-
pose of transporting $4,000, which
Edgar F. Hazleton ST.. was supposed
to send as ransom for his 16-year-
old son.
Mr.. Hazleton used three of the
birds to carry notes asking proof
that the kidnapers really were in
possession of his son, but without
getting any reply.
The police held the fourth to use
as guide for their aerial expedition.
The expedition has been bally-
hooed so generously that good

pigeon reaches its roost and the
kidnapers should have no excuse
for failure to get away in time.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

Vitamin c is the most easily de-
stroyed of all of the vitamins.
Although present in milk, it dis
appears when milk is heated in the
process of pasteurization, especially
if it comes into contact with the
air. For this reason babies suffered
particularly with scurvy, even I'M
der good conditions in this country.
A Scotch physician named James
Lind wrote book about scurvy in
1857, in which he pointed out that
the disease appeared when persons
were deprived of all fresh raw vege-
tables and fruits.
Today it is definitely demonstrated
that the giving of appropriate
amounts of fresh orange juice, to-
mato juice, or even the juices of
turnips or potatoes will prevent this
disease in infants.
1t is particularly important that
such fresh fruit juices be given

Back to Rarter

We ventured the opinion little while ago that
the shibboleth less government in business" had
become quite obsolete with leaders of basic industries
actually seeking government intervention in conduct
OF their business The swapping of farm board wheat
for governmenowned Brazilian coffee furnishes the
latest proof.
The government in this instance is not regulat-
ing business for the protection of the consuming
public. 1t is heels over head in business itself and
on gigantic SCALE Its transaction with Brazil is
a direct invasion of the export field, much akin to
the operations of those wicked" state monopolies
of Soviet Russia Some of the rugged indvidualiss"
must be having a bad time of it,
In addition to marking the utter rout of one
school of thought the deal reveals the extent to
which the international economic machinery has
collapsed There will be transfer of gold or credit
no use of money or foreign exchange. 1t is simple
primitive barter, barking back to the days of the
Phoenicians.
1t is also an added demonstration of the futiltv
of government price fixing The Brazilian coffee pool
and the farm boards attempt to peg prices of wheat
and cotton the greatest ventures of this kind
in all history.
Both have collapsed miserably, leaving wheat
growers and coffee raisers worse off than they ever
have been. Similarly Britans corner in rubber and
Canada's wheat pools, were failures.
Logically if we can trade wheat for coffee we
swap cotton for nitraes or manganese wheat for
olive oil, and 1t is not to be expected how
ever, that the barter system will be extended widely
Rather, the present arrangement is a makeshift de-
signed to meet emergency, and as such may be
practically useful.
Solution of the problem of world SURPRISES and
the revival Of international trade not be accom-
plshed by such middle age methods Industrial
planning, elimination of prohibtve tariffs and other
trade barriers readjustment of international debts
and reparatons payments and reduction of excess
sive ornaments, among measures needed for
permanent correction of the situation.

When that source Of trade is stopped, win it not

more unemployment? VIII it not add to overconcen-
tration of wealth-and consequent underpurchasing

of the depression in Great Britain as in the United
States2
One interesting sdelight is that the British La
borites, while demanding that the budget deficit be
made up out of increased taxes on the rich and by
naval cuts instead Of being taken out of the workers
apparently have not yet struck at the high cost Of
royalty.
London newspapers which carried panic headlines
about the financial crisis and necessity of more sac
rif1ces by the poor, reported in adjoining columns
that the prince of Wales had taken another foreign
chateau and listed his expensive pleasure trappings
Americans, who do not care how many kings any
foreign country chooses to support always are sur
prised by the sharp contrast of luxury and poverty
which European royalty manages to advertise some

Of course the British Labor party long has pre-
sented the paradox of virtually 100 per cent Socialism
and 100 per cent monarchism But the present emer-
gency may have little effect that contradiction
