Panay Bombing Calls Forth
 No Shouting Like Outrages
 Of Twenty, Forty Kears 4 go
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-Maybe it is the spirit of Christmas or Sen- ator Yves don't-fight-at-any price campaign has taken effect, but at any rate the country somehow for got to shout: Remember the Pa- nay"
 Twenty years ago we shouted: Remember the Lusitania.' Ships, and soldiers were sent to France.
 Forty years ago we shouted: Re member the Maine.' Ships, shell, and soldiers were sent to Cuba.
 The gunboat Panay, bombed by Japanese planes, sank in the mud soup of the Yangtze. Yet the quan- tity of war spirit generated could have been carried in hip flask. In Washington it was treated as ser- ious incident. The State Depart ment and the Japanese Embassy and the British Embassy played the role of diplomats concerned with a serious incident.
 But there was not the slightest note of strain in the negotiations. All sides seemed to feel they knew how it was coming out-in a general way-almost before the Yangtze had begun to silt over the sunken Panay. There would be no entanglements. There would be no reprisals. Ja- pan would probably pay indemnities to survivors of the dead, to the wounded crew and passengers, and to the U. s. Treasury for another gunboat.
 A BRAKE ON JAPAN
 Taken in the particular instance, the death of a sailor is a sorrowful affair. But in the determination of military and diplomatic affairs sailors are expendible in accom- plishing a purpose.
 The government didn't shove the Panay up into the war zone with the specific purpose of creating an incident. Nevertheless, as an incl dent the bombing that resulted has certain diplomatic values to the United States-and to England
 For six years the Japanese mili- tary has been riding high, wide and handsome on the international highways, apologizing here and there without giving any protesting power real handle-hold for a jolting protest. But up bobs the Panay incident. The Japanese are dead in the wrong, admittedly without an excuse of military neces- sity.
 A new and emphatically sour note is injected into their melody of in- ternational conquest. The noncha- lance evident in Japanese handling of previous lesser incidents was lack ing in the note of apology for the Panay sinking.
 Probably it won't stop the Japan csc march up the Yangtze, but if will give the United States and Eng land new basis for insisting upon a clarification of the real purpose of the conquest.

CONCERNING STAR ROUTE CONTRACTS

This coming summer will bring the elimination of the present Star Route Mail Contracts that have been in effect for the past four years in the Second Division and throughout the Territory. Bids for the ensuing four year period will be called for during the coming winter.
 There a number of routes to be bid upon in this Division and considerable number in the other three Divisions It has unfortunately been the practice for a number of years of underbidding these contracts, looking to the Territorial Legislature to supply the def fciency in the form of subsidy. bill introduced at the 1885 legislature calling for S5,0000O year subsidy for the Nome-St Michael and Nome Kotzebue mail route This bill failed to pass the House. where it originated At the last territorial legislative session similar bill passed both Houses, but was axed by Gov ernor Troys veto, who succnctly said: '1 do not be- lieve in subsides
 For those who contemplate bidding on the next four year contracts it might be well to consider the recent debate in Congress this subject taken from the Con- gressional Record of Feb. 18th, 1887.
 Mr. Taber: The mileage of these Star Routes ap- pears to be increasing but the cost has been lowered because the people bid less to get the jobs in the past four five years. How long the present service is to continue before will have to provide more money one can tell
 Mr. Dowell: That is the question am trying to get at These contracts are all let by bids
 MT. Ludlow: By competitive bidding
 MT. DoWel: For how long are the contracts made?
 MT. Taber: Four years.
 MT Dowel: Is it not true that in number of these cases, bidder may bid great deal lower than it is possible to perform this service?
 MT. Ludlow That is undoubtedly true They sometimes bid lower than they afford to perform this service for and result lose money.
 MT DoWell Is there any way to help the situation so that this will not occur, will not continue?
 Mir. Ludlow. Ofhand do not know what sort of law could apply as long observe the competitive system of bidding because everybody has the right come In and bld If they bid too low that is their hard luck
 From the foregoing it should be apparent that even congress IS apprehensve the low bidding of years 1t IS also quite clear that subsidy will be forth coming from the Territory for the next four years To any one who is a prospective bidder, it should be simple matter to arrive at bid that will give legi mate profit which is what the government expects commensurate with the service given The tons of freight hauled the number of passengers carried and the trlp-noney for the mail all matter of record tor each season. and available the custom house and post office If it is boat contract the expenses of op eraon for the number of miles travelled are easily com pued and the same for any other method of transpor tation.
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-05-26

With the realization that there will be no financial aid from either the federal the territorial govern ments, perhaps these Star Route contracts will be pac- ed back near their former leve and future bids be considered on a strictly business basis.

APPROVE EXTENSION ACTS

! When the House convened this afternoon at o'clock, Dr. Charles E. Bunnell, President of the Uni- versity of Alaska gave a general outline of the history of Federal Legislation relative to land grant colleges, and to former and new legislation effecting the University of Alaska in particular, explaining why and how Federal appropria- tions were granted to the Univer- sity of Alaska, and how through the Territory's participation in granting additional funds, the Fed- eral Government would match these funds in addition to the straight grants from the Government
 Immediately after Dr. Bunnells explanation of how these acts would apply to Alaska, House Bills 8 and 40, which provide for the Ter ritory taking advantage of the Fed eral legislation were brought before the house and passed unanimously. The increased endowments pro- vided for by this legislation will be used for further agricultural ex- pertinent work and extension work providing the necessary relatively small appropriations are made by the Territory.
