GOVERNMENT TO PROMOTE COAL
 DEVELOPMENT.

Senator Howell, who has assumed a sort of pro- tectorate the Alaska Railroads destiny and is appearing for it in the Senate, is authority that $2500O0 of the appropriation for that property for the coming fiscal year is to determine the value and extent of a reported anthracite coal deposit in the Matanuska Valley some Is miles beyond the terminus of the Matanuska branch line. The Sen ate's Select Committee which investigated the Alaska Railroad last Summer heard at that time of the coal and reported it to the Senate recently.
 In that connection it said
 For years it has been known that in the
 Matanuska Valley some 12 or Is miles be-
 yond the present terminues of the railroads
 Matanuska branch there deposits of
 anthracite coal. It is the opinion of the
 Chief Alaska Geologist Or Philip Smith
 that the surface indications of this coal
 and available information in reference there
 to collected by the Geological Survey, is
 sufficient to justify exhaustive inves-
 tigation of this field by commercial inter
 ests, as market might be found for
 anthracite in San Francisco and other West
 Coast cities
 Commercial interests having failed to make the investigation, the Senate proposes to let the Gov ernment do it. Logically the Government should explore that region and any others contiguous to the railroad It has reserved to itself the title to all coal-bearng land in Alaska and, except for two patented claims, it is the actual owner Ol SuCH resources 16dl Gdil De nneQ Only uDQer lease. It is therefore good business for the Gov ernment, owner. to do a little inventorying in order to find out just what it has. Since so much worry is felt the failure of the Alaska Railroad to pay dividends the expenditure of a few hundred thousand dollars in developing a of freight traffic might not to the Senate seem unwarranted
 Such policy is far likely to end the deficit period than is the raising of freight passenger It is not conceivable that the present traffic movement could bear charges sufficiently high to make the road sef-supportng. It is automatic that as freight and passenger fares advance freight shipments shrink and passenger travel is limited tc those who of necessity ride. Thus, if the proposed tariff increases are made effective, the Government will have to find some new sources of tonnage il it keeps its equipment actively engaged. It car hardly expect any commercial interests to breal into the field. Apparently they could not be inter ested in the past nine years, the period O. operation for the road, when freight tariffs were according to the Committee 25 per cent less thar coal for export is shipped in the States. It seem obvious they would be less inclined to venture northward when rates are advanced 50 per cen as the Committee urges.
 The new program of coal prospecting will bs watched with keen interest in the Territory. Gen erally there will be a wish that it will be more productive of beneficial results than were the opera tions of the U S. Navy. Alaska Coal Commission which, in activities at Chickaloon, Coal Creek anc

Not So Quiet.
Manchester Weekly Guardian.


 The German Board of Film Censors has decided to ban All Quiet the Western Front" because it is detrimental to German prestige" Of course, if German prestige is bound up with the old lies of the splendor of war, then All Quiet is very damaging attack But fortunately Germany's repu- tation in the world today is largely built on the courage and clearness with which her authors and dramatists have exposed the old patriotic" fables. Many Engishmen confronted with the sentimental, mischievous qualification of that is still too common in films have been deeply thankful to Herr Remarque for his truthful description and for the film version of his novel, Most Germans share this gratitude they realize that it is not Germany but militarism-an international dsease-which is the last few days however, show that the minority of rowdy Nazs are growing alarmingly in strength They apparently able by breaking the peace to secure the prohibition of the All Quiet film and presumably of any future film to which they happen to object. This is the worst kind of cen sorship It is in fact artistic lynching It proves the rebrth of militarism in Germany. The failure so far to achieve disarmament is persuading Ger mans who are too young to remember the war that foreign affairs are best conducted with that back ing of military force which the other Powers enjoy To many young Germans Remarque's work is merely an expression of cowardice They believe that Ger man pacificts betraying their country because their methods to young impatient minds tc be a failure. If the banning of "All Quiet must alarm liberty-lovng Germans it should also remind outsiders of the terrible consequences which would follow persistent refusal to disarm.
