 ALASKA AIR MAIL 5. [. \.

In the matter of proposed ex- tension of air mail service be- tween Seattle and Southeastern Alaska which is pending in the Postoffice Appropriation Bill, the LOS Angeles Chamber of Commerce has sent the original of the follow ing copy to it's Congressional rep- resentatives in Washington. T e copy of was sent The Gateway in the last mail
 Hon. Joe Crial, House office Building, Washington, D. c.
 We understand that an item has been included in the Postal Budget to provide for an extension of air mail service from Seattle to Southeastern Alaska and that Sen atOr Jones, of Washington, h a s been pressing the matter strongly so that it may be included in the appropriations bill.
 This is matter that it seems to us the entire Pacific Coast can consistently support, particu- larly if the Postoffice Department is planning any extension what ever to existing air mail services.
 We have been impressed over the past two or three years with the extent of appropriations that have been granted to the Post office Department for the eXten- sion of our foreign air mail ser vice, particularly with Latin Amer ican countries. Practically all of the aid, however, that has thus far been extended in this direction

has been on behalf of the eastern section of the United States with appropriations from the Pacific Coast for similar extentions prac- tically ignored
 For last years operations tn c Postoffice Department asked for an appro iation of $5,100,000 which practically all went into ex- tensions in Latin American coun- tries and with a request for an ad- ditional appropriation of $1,50O,- 900 for route down the eastern coast of South America. Of this entire appropriation, the only ser vice provided for from the Pacific Coast was between Seattle and Vic- toria at an estimated annual cost of $16,197.
 We made a strenuous effort up and down the Pacific Coast to ob- tain badly needed extension for our coast air mail
 Editors note-The second page of the letter was inadvertently not mailed to this paper but it is safe to assume the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce wound up their strong letter by asking their Washington Congressmen to leave no stone un-turned in procuring this service for Alaska.

ply Japan'S needs.

Endless other advantages could be mentioned, but it IS needless. Within a week after declaring war on the U. &, Japan will have seized Seward and Cordova, land ing 10000 men to operate the rail- iroadS to the coal and copper They will quickly mine the quarter mile entrances to the harborS, making them safe against recapture by our fleet. The rest of Alaska could be leisurely occupied and fortified. Japanese ships are all coal burners, and half of their fleet could be per manently operated out of Seward, needing no supplies from Japan.
 Washington q Oregon are within easier striking distance from Seward than from Hawaii, but Ja- pan will not wage an offensive war on the United States, only just enough to assure keeping our fleet at home while she preys on our commerce and firmly establishes herself in Alaska.
 Let Japan occupy these wonder fuI harbors for two weeks and the United States could not diSlodge her until we had constructed q Navy twice the present strength. Our rugged mountains, and stormy seas render airpIane offensiveS on towns almost impossible from the South
 Japan has superior fighting air plane strength than we and could quickly establish a strong base at Seward to use against all naval op- eration the U S would try.
 Now, all I've said may seem far fetched to minimizing people, but there is enough evidence in its sup port to justify our apprehension. Japanese fishing and sealing

UNCLE WIGGHY'S SOUR

Baby Bunty, the little orphan

AS it happened, the rabbit gen.

starting to look for an adventure.
First, he had to put up the clothes
line for Nurse Jane. Then he had
to go to the store for his wife to
get some molasses so she could
make a chocolate cake, or some
thing. But after a while he hoped
off on his own account just as
Bunty came home early from

"I'll throw stick up at it and
maybe I can knock it down." said
Uncle Wiggily This he did, hit
ting the apple after three tries and
down it fell to the ground
"Oh, what lovely applet"
shouted Bunty as she ran to pick
it up. "Ill take a bite and then
I'll give you one, Unkie Wig"
All of a sudden q voice said:
Don't bite mel Don't bite mel
Please don't bite mel"
why! who was that?" asked
Uncle Wiggily in surprise.
IT don't know" answered Baby
Bunty, unless she went on, "it
was this APPLE and she looked at

did you speak?" asked Uncle
Wiggily.

in a fruity sort of voice, 81 did. I
said please don't bite me. I'm
sour"
"Oh, I like sour apples" said
Bunty, laughing.
You'll like sweet apple much
better" spoke the sour one. why
did you knock me off my tree?"
the apple asked Uncle Wiggily. eff
you had left me on few days
longer I might have turned into
a sweet apple. Then I would be
happy. I've always wanted to be a
sweet apple. Oh, dear! Now I'm
off my tree and 1 can't get backl"
"Oh, yes, maybe you cant" said
Bunty, who felt sorry for the poor
sour apple. "Unkie Wig" she went
on, throw the apple back up in
the tree. Maybe it will stick fast
and grow to be sweet"
''Nonsensei You can't put back
on a tree an apple that has been
picked or knocked off," said Mr..
Longears.
PLEASE tryl" begged Baby Bunty.
So Uncle Wiggily did.
The first time he threw the apple
up into the tree it fell back and
hit him on the head The next
time the apple fell back and hit
Bunty on the nose. And the third
time the sour apple, not sticking
to the tree, of course, fell back and
was SO cut and bruised that it said:
"Oh, never mind trying to put
me backl Take me home and bake
me in pie. Perhaps sail be
happy that way"
So Nurse Jane made pie of
the sour apple and Baby Bunty had
a piece for her supper.
And if the roller skate doesn't
take a wheel off the auto to make
a sidewalk scooter, I'll tell you next

THE RADIO PEST

A subscriber writes to ask if something
II can't be done to curb the radio pest"
nuisance which is only too common in
Imperial Valley, particularly during the
summer season, when houses are wide
open, in order to catch any stray breeze.
By the radio pest is meant the radio
owner who utterly ignores the rights of
his neighbors in the operation of his
radio apparatus.
Instead of realizing that his radio is
for his own entertainment, and that his
ideas on entertainment may not coin
eide with those of his neighbors, he as
sumes that because he has radio, it is
up TO him to entertain the neighbors,
whether or not they have radios or other
entertainment of their own.
He opens up his radio full blast and
lets it rip, regardless of static, shouting
"blues" singers, political orators, or
whatever the radio may be offering in
the way of entertainment.
His neighbors may be seeking more
quiet diversion, made almost impossible
of achievement because of the blatant
noise coming from his radio. They may
have radios of their own they wish to use,
they may wish to read, play cards or
converse. They can do none of these
things in peace and comfort with the
noise that the wide open radio makes
Subscriber asks if there is not some
thing that can be done legally to curb
such a nuisance. Certainly. If the op-
GRAFTON of the radio interferes with the
peace and quiet of the neighborhood,
complaint can be made to the police. In
stantly the complainer is put down as
pest, crank and neighborhood nus-
ance, whereas he is no such thing. AS
nobody likes to make a complaint, the
radio pest continues unmolested.
There is no real relief unless the "pest"
gets wise to himself, and is fair-minded
enough to realize that his neighbors have
rights just as much as he has. 1t is his
right to play his radio whenever he
pleases, but it is not his right if it in
terferes with the peace and quiet of his
neighborhood
He should be gentleman enough and
considerate enough of his neighbors to
make it unnecessary for them to COM
plain to the police. He can be a good
sport about it and keep his radio tuned
down so that he and his family can en-
Joy it and yet not interfere with the
neighbor next door. Alas, it is not only
the next door neighbors who suffer from
the radio pes" residents of ad-
joining blocks are annoyed by him.
We all live in small community. No
body likes neighborhood scraps. On the
contrary, the majority of us want to be
friendly with our neighbors-to have
their goodwill and to extend them ours
None of US ever knows when our next
door neighbor will be badly needed by
us in some crisis and if we have antag
onized him we can't reasonably expect
1, 81
time.
We all like to consider ourselves ladies
and gentlemen. The toughest of US
would resent the assertion that we are
not gentlemen.
Subscriber is only one of many suf-
ferers. Their only real source of relief
is by appealing to the fair play and
craftsmanship of him whom we have
dubbed the "radio pest. Can't the lat
ter see the light and be good fellow?
