Liberal Viewpoint
by DIR. HARRY ELMER BARNES
RANDOLPH HEARST is on E

VXTILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST is on q
/ w rampage against Soviet Russia. The other
dav over a national radio hookup he charged
that the Soviet experiment SIS the fearful failure
that it needs must be and definitely deserves to
be-" Warming up to his subject Mr.. Hearst de-
nounced Russia as a country characterized by
utter lack Of liberty total suppression of free
speech, utter abolition of free publication, mill
tary censorship and universal terrorism"
He had no more good to say for the economic
system which he contends Is breaking down,
and he declared that millions of Russians face
starvation this winter.
Mr. Hearst is certainly we'll within his rights
in lacking enthusiasm for Soviet Russia. No
man possessing Mr.. Hearsts vast holdings in a
capitalistic system can very we'll be expected to
develop any considerable exuberance for a So
cal and economic system which would deprive
him of all Of these and quite probably bring him
before firing squad if its leaders could get their
hands upon him.
Nevertheless it is somewhat difficult to see
just how at this date Mr.. Hearst can find that
Russia is a fearful failure" unless he means
that it has failed capitalism in fearful fashion
which is something that the Soviet leaders
themselves most cheerfully confess; indeed some
thing about which they boast eXultantly.
THE beginning of the year 1885 is strategically
l. a very unwise moment in which to launch
any capitalistic criticism of Russia on a material
basis. The industrial development of Russia
under the Second Five-Year Plan has moved
along amazingly well in both industry and ag-
riculture. The following table indicates the
progress of large scale industry since 1929:

FARMERS SEEK
POTATO RULING
Continued From Page one)

Kent county sometime in January
by County Agent Russell f. Will
son, and those who are interested
in this commodity will be invited
to attend and hear this subject dis
cussed. In the meantime all farm
ers who have been growing pota-
toes for market, and who expect to
produce this crop for market in
1896 should prepare a statement
showing the potato acreage, yield
per acre, and the quantity of pota-
toes grown for sale during the
years 1892, 1888, 1894 and 1885.
This information will be necessary
in order that each potato grower
may receive his allotment in BUSH
els for market in 1886. Potatoes
produced for home use, however, do
not come under this Act. In a re-
cent announcement issued by the
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration, it was stated that any po-
tato grower whose average annual
sales of potatoes during the years
1932-1935 were so bushels or less
will receive tax free allotment of
potatoes equal to such annual sales
under regulations for administra-
tion of the Potato Act. Those
farmers who grow and sell pota-
toes over their allotment in 1886
will be required to purchase tax
stamps equal to As cents a bushel,
and all potatoes must be sold in
closed containers in order to COM
ply with the terms of this Act.

Xmas at Presbyterian Church

Xmas at Presbyterian Church
Many years ago three wise men
followed the star of Jesus Christ
until they found the Saviour of the
world. They followed the star be-
cause they wanted to see Him and
pay homage to Him. They were
able to see and to follow the star
because their sight was not blind
ed by ulterior motives. DR.. David
James Burrell has written a little
book entitled '"The Lost Star,
which tells the story of another
company of Wise Men who started
on the journey from the east, but
lost their way through selfishness,
pride, injustice and impurity. We
must be careful when, at this
Christmas season, we try to follow
the Star to Christ, to rid ourselves
of pride and selfishness, and to
pray to the Lord for a pure heart,
or the light will be so darkened
for us that it viii be hard for us to
find the way.-The Young Peoples
Party, which was scheduled for to-
night has been postponed until
Monday evening, when it will be
held in the Chapel at 7:30. A great
evening of fun has been arranged,
with a program, games and re-
freshments All the young people
are urged to come out for this hour
of fellowship-The regular choir
practice will be held in the church
Saturday evening at 7:30-The ser
vices on the Sabbath will be as fol-
lows: 10 m, Sunday School; IL
a m, sermon by the minister; 7:3O
p. M, the Sunday School Christ
mas program. For several weeks
the children of the Sunday School
have been working on this pro-
gram, which is expected to be one
of the best they have presented.
Special music has been prepared
for both the morning and evening
services. The Christmas story
viii be the theme of the entire day.
All the people should come into
the House of the Lord to praise His
Holy Name on this Sunday which
celebrates the birth of our Lord
and Saviour.

By CHARLES BANKS FORBES

This is the law of the Yukon, and
ever she makes it plain;
"Send not your foolish and Feeble
send me your strong and your
sane
Strong for the red rage of battle;
sane, for I harry them sore;
Send me men grit for the combat,
men who are grit to the core;
Swift as the panther in triumph,
fierce as the bear in defeat,
Sired of a bulldog parent, steeled
in the furnace heat.
Send me the best of your breeding.
lend me your chosen ones;
Them will take to my bosom, them
will l call my sons;
Them will I gild with my treasure,
them will l glut with my meat;
But the others-the misfits, the
failures-I trample under my
feet
Dissolute, damned and despairful,
crippled and palsied and slain,
Ye would send me the spawn of
your cutters
Go! take back your spawn again. ;"

and equipped. A dental clinic also
is operating.
The Education Department of
Alaska is recruiting the teaching
staff for the schools to be opened in
the fall and the colony has assur-
anees of a full school year.
80 Years to Pay
Each colonist has been allotted
4O-acre farm site, on which will be
erected a house, barn and necessary
outbuildings. All equipment neces-
sary for successful farming is pro-
vided, such as work-stOck, COW,
chickens, tools, seed, etc. Subsist-
ence and clothing for a year also
mas been provided. All of these
things, including suen food as the
colonist obtains from the commits
sary for his daily needs, are
charged to the account of the indi-
vidual colonist who contracts to re-
pay to the Alaska Rural Rehbilita-
ton Corporation the amount of the
investment. Interest on the invest
ment is to be no more than per
cent a year. For the first four
years no payments of any kind are
required under the contract. The
inteest for those years is added to
the debt and amortized with the
principal over the following 26
years, so at the end of 80 years the
,olonist has his farm and all equip
ment paid for.
Each home is to be completely
equipped with necessary furniture.
Modern stoves, with hot water con-
tanners, now in use in the tents,
will be used in the homes. They are
sufficiently large for both heating
and cooking, but in the larger
homes heating stoves will be used
Coal is available, with producing
mines a few miles away on the
same branch of the railroad which
serves the colony.
Pending the introduction of cleo
tricity, gasoline or coal oil lamps
are to be used.
Every Farm on Good Road
OlIc VI the III 81 pi OJCNNlo app OfCh
by the President under the new
Works Program was the Anchorage
Matanuska highway. This highway
parallels the railroad. Two large
bridges must be constructed before
it will be completed but work is
now in progress and last reports
were that the Alaska Road Commits
sion has the work we'll in hand.
While there are numerous roads in
the Matanuska Valley, the influx
of a large number of permanent
residents demands their extension
and improvement. The Alaska Road
Commission has this work under
way and by fall every farm should
be on a good road.
Modern buses are already on the
ground. In the fall they will be used

two score operators sending the
daily grist of air messages TO the
outside world. Here is a home mar
ket for milk. butter, cheese and
eggs and it's a cash market.
The potatoes and other root crops
of the valley are famous for their
size and quality. Here, too are cash
crops which Anchorage and other
nearby communities are waiting for.
The market for fresh vegetables and
dairy products, however. is almost
unlimited. Anchorage is the avia-
zion center of the Northwest section.
A score or more of Independent air
lines are carrying supplies to the
distant mines and camps of the
north and the west-from Canadian
line to Nome. With the agents OF
the Alaska Railroad acting as
agents of the cooperative market

when the valley farms begin to pro
duce, Matanuska products will find
their way to every station on that

Il
Yukon and Tanana rivers which are
piled by Alaska Railway boats
which take provisions to the isolat-
ed posts in the mining and fur
districts.
Project Sound
THE Alaska colonization project
is sound, in the opinion of those
best qualified to judge it in the
light of the character of the colon
lists and the productiveness of the
valley SOIL" says Administrator
Hopkins. Farming is hard labor,
and it will take hard labor to pro-
duce results on Matanuska farms,
but it will not be labor without its
reward such as these colonists knew
in the years they have struggled to
keep body and soul together on cut
over land that never should have
been converted into farms.
Colds Equivalent
Alaska is Americas last from
tier. And it is a frontier, with only
/ 10000 white people populating a
land more than twice as large as
The state of Texas. Matanuska is
| the beginning of a new era for
Alaska, the era which follows the
pioneers trek into the hills and the
forests to find new riches. Alaska
is now ready for development, with
is natural resources only scratched
and opportunity reckoning to the
hardy and the determined Mata-
nuska will write Alaskan history, a
calm and carefully thought out
postlude to the vivid chapters writ
ten in blood by the trail breakers
and the old sour-doughs. There is
still gold in Alaska's hills, but
there is COLDS equivalent in the
fertile soil of Matanuska, Tenana

the ground, sides of finished lum-
Der three feet from the floor and
wood doors insured comfort. A stove
was placed in each tent and such
furniture as the colonist required
was moved in.
Victims of Depression
In their home states the Mata
nuska colonists were relief clients.
They were victims of the depres-
sion In the best of times they were
able to scrape only a bare existence
from submarginal lands. They well
coined the opportunity offered to
them by the FERA to exchange a
bare living for farm ownership in
a valley where the fertility of the
soil has been demonstrated and
where there is a waiting market for
everything the experienced farmer
can produce.
While there was some delay at
the outset, due largely to the fail
ure of mills and factories to meet
sailing dates, all building materials,
machinery, equipment and food
stuffs are now flowing into Palmer
in large volume. Sawmills have
been set up and are in operation.
Land clearing is progressing rap
idly.
Approximately 100 acres of land
have been turned into a community
garden where fresh vegetables will
be ready for late summer and fall
use. with the surplus to be con-
sumed during the winter. A can
ming plant will be ready by fall to
preserve the surplus vegetables of
colonists and old settlers in the
valley.
Cattle and horses have been or
dered for the colony and some 200
have arrived, the cows now supply
ing a large part of the daily milk
supply for the more than 400 child
rem who require it.
No Serious Health Problems
Although there has been the
usual run of children's diseases
which any community is subject to,
the health reports from the colony
show no serious health problem A
tent hospital of four units and an
isolation ward, in charge of comp
etent physicians and staff of order
lies have been set up and serve the
purpose of the community until a
permanent hospital can be erected
