N1ussolini is constantly adding to
the art and literary monuments of
Italy. No one can offer for sale single
object of historic significance without
first offering it to the nation. Mussolini
recognizes that these are real assets to
the state. Italy cannot compare with
this country in financial resources and
yet Mussolini takes advantage of
every opportunity. even in these
troublesome times. to add to its art

to be pikers in comparison with other

Our national library should have
the finest collection of Americana in
the world. Every effort should be made
to secure for it copy of every printed
book and important manuscript re-
lating to this country. 1t is a shameful
fact that with regard to books printed
before the year 1850 there are libraries
that surpass it, such as the John
Carter Brown Library at Providence
and the Lenox Collection in the New
York Public Library. This neglect on
the part of successive governments
seems almost criminal when we con-
slider for what paltry sums great books
relating to America could have been
secured.
The Library of Congress now owns
a copy of the famous Gutenberg Bible,
the first book printed from movable
type. This monument OF printing,
which was issued about LASS, was
bought by the government in 1881 for
about 100000. a purchase which
caused considerable excitement, and

On the other hand, it is a curious
and astonishing fact that our national
library does not own a copy of the
Gutenberg Bible of America. the Bay
Psalm Book. This precious volume.
the first printed in the United States,
was issued from the press of Stephen
Daye in Cambridge, Massachusetts,.
in l640, Eleven copies only of this
book survive, whilst of the Gutenberg
Bible there are at least forty-five.
Opportunities for the purchase of the
Bay Psalm Book by the Congress
sional Library have not been lacking.
At the Brinley sale in 1880 a copy was
bought by Cornelius Vanderbilt for
$1,000. and in 1900 another was
acquired by E. Dwight Church for a
similar amount. This latter is now in
the Huntington Library at San
Gabriel, California. To show the pos
sibilities of what one man alone can
do. Mr.. Henry E. Huntington, in ten
years time, secured more examples of
the rarest early Americana than has
the Library of Congress during the
one hundred and thirty years of its
existence.
The blame for this lack of interest
in securing the supreme treasures of
Americana for the nation does not rest
on the Librarian of Congress. The

The Pierpont Morgan Library in
New York has American material of
great historical value, some of which
the Congressional Library has had a
chance to purchase.
More collections of Americana have
been sold at auction during the last
thirty years than in any period of the
worlds history, and it is much to be
regretted that the Librarian of Con-
gress has never been allowed the funds
to take full advantage of these dis
persals.
On January 5, 1894, the original
manuscript of the earliest known draft
of The Star Spangled Banner" our
national anthem. entirely in the hand
writing of its author. Francis Scott
Key. was offered for sale by auction in
New York. The proper place for such a
national relic is obviously in the ma
tional library, but SO far as | am
aware our government made no effort
to secure it. Fortunately the trustees
of the Walters Art Gallery, in Balti-
more, were more appreciative than our
Congressman and Senators and deter
mined that the treasure should remain
in the city where The Star Spangled
Banner" originated. 1t is now fittingly
enshrined in the gallery containing
Mr.. Henry Walters treasures. and
nothing in that fine collection will be
of greater interest to the public than
this manuscript Of the sacred anthem.

famous Codex Sinaiticus for $500, 900

purchase ever made. 1t was one of the
two earliest manuscripts of the Bible.
Premier Macdonald, with his interest
in everything relative to art, history

and that the chance to secure so pre-

MISS PETERSON ACCOMPANIES PATIENT TO SEATTLE HOSPITAL

Miss Helen Peterson. who re- signed several weeks ago from her position as superintendent of Bish- op Rowe General Hospital, in order to become office nurse of Dr. w M. Whitehead in Juneau, was aboard the Alaska last night and visited with Wrangen friends while the boat was in port here
 With Miss Jane Ward of St. Anns hospital and Mrs. Walter Smith, Miss Peterson was accomp- anying MT Smith, DuPont Powder Company agent at Juneau, to Se- attle for special treatment for seri- ous injury to face and limbs and the loss of one eye in a recent dynamite explosion.
 The accident occurred last Fri day afternoon when Smith was burying some spoiled dynamite caps in a hillside near Dupont, pre- paratory to setting them off. The caps exploded, blasting his face and arms and flinging him several feet away. Three fourths of mile from home, and where no one could see him, Smith was obliged to drag himself on his hands and one knee to within shouting distance of his home. His wife summoned Drs. Blanton and Whitehead, who went to his assistance in Cash Coles gas boat Jazz. An ambulance which met them at Thane transferred Smith to St. Anns hospital, where he re- mained until the sailing of the AL aska.

Germany, with a population of &c.
000,0 inhabitants-and Hitler is en-
couraging bonus babies, too-raises the
most formidable problem which the
harassed peacemakers at Geneva and
in London don't know how to handle
Hitler has made it clear to all those
who have talked with him, and espe-
cially to the British, that Germany
does not propose to be content with
Its present boundaries. To create q
mightier Reich in the old spirit of
anti-Slav expansion has been an es-
sential part of the Fuehrers dream
and creed.
His aspirations are none the less
real because they cannot be defined
yet. The Third Reich is rising to a
preponderance in the combined arms
over any single neighbor and may
easily become as strong as any two
neighbors. That force is not being
created "for nothing" The German
nation is being drained of its last
cent for the sake Of building up an
army. a navy and an air force. which
experts consider even better than the
Kaiser's pre-war machinery.
Hitler has never withdrawn any of
his threats against Russia. Much as
the German people. dislike the Jap
anese, there is no doubt that there Is
an understanding between these two
"have-nots" to take away from Russia
large tracts Of land. The trial days
of Europe are just beginning. If we
were to listen to the realists who have
just returned on luxurious liners from
the other side of the Atlantic, the
1914 war was just a child's play to
what is being prepared over there now.
