NEW ARCTIC FARM
EMPIRE FORECAST
Wide Area Can Be Made
Land OF Fruit, Flowers,
Scientists Told.
BY = STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

~ = otaH correspondent OF Inc star.
OTTAWA, June %. In the Far
North lies new agricultural empire
nearly 100000 practically unpeopled
square miles where roses and honey
suckles bloom and potato vines double
their heighth in a week, and the sun
shines nearly all night in the summer.
1t can be conquered-with roses, to
plant under kitchen windows and
around graves.
This is the white mans last frontier
and If he doesn't conquer it the yellow
man will. The challenge was pre-
sented before the American Associa-
ton for the Advancement OF Science
here yesterday afternoon by Dr.. w. D.
Albright, superintendent of the Cana
dian government experimental station
In the Peace River country of North
ern Manitoba, who has devoted nearly
. lifetime to the agricultural conquest
OF the Far North.
But. he stressed, it also must be a
cultural conquest. This problem lately
has challenged the Imagination of the
French poet and philosopher, Georges
Bugnet. who now is devoting himself
to publicizing the new land and to
breeding flowers for the settlers.
Already he has produced red rose
which may bloom regularly around
Northern Mckenzie Valley homesteads,
the Lac la Nome
Probably 100000 square miles in the
valleys of the Mckenzie drainage sys-
tenn around the 60th parallel of lati-
tude are good for cropping and some
of the rest may serve as range coun-
try. DR.. Albright said. The problems
of living there are to be conquered
first, he stressed. by the breeding of
new varieties of grains. fruits and
vegetables suited to Arctic conditions.
This will involve. he said. the testing
OF thousands of species and varieties
just as necessary, he stressed, is to
remove the psychological! hazard. The
popular impression is that the land

and cold-resisting breeds OF other
domestic quadrupeds probably would
do as well without displacing the. ma
tive caribou and musk-ox. The cli-
mate is better than would be ex-
pected because Of the shelter of the
hills and the northward flowing Nc
Kenzie
The Mckenzie is the route over
which Arctic storms sweep southward.
Probably a great deal OF commercial
fertilizer will be needed for continuous
cropping. Nature has covered the
soil with thick, heat holding blanket
OF moss and the effect of widespread
removal OF this blanket is problemat-
ical.
But, he stressed. less promising
lands are centers of fiourishing civili-
zations-and this one can be con-
quered with roses.

ALBUQUERQUE. N. Mex, June %.
-Searchers moved through the tan
gled underbrush at the base of North
Sandia Peak today in a broadened
hunt for Medill Mccormick, Chicago
publishing heir lost on a climbing ex-
pedition.
Virtually abandoning belief that the
youth might be lodged on the steep
face of the peak, the searchers pre-
pared thoroughly to scour the brushy
terrain below the ledge on which the
body of his companion, Richard Whit
mer, was found last Thursday.
They were working on the theory
young Mccormick gained the foot Of
the peaks sheer face with little or no
injury. but was Killed, lost or severely
hurt in the lower country while try
ing to reach help for his companion.
Three Hour Conference Held.
I'VE have eliminated all possibility
that either of the boys could have
gone very far up the face of the
peak said Mrs. c. D. Barnes Of
New York, young McCormick's sister,
after three-hour conference of
searchers last night.
Veteran searchers have scaled the
Shield and found the going very
difficult. They do not believe the
boys could have made it far in the
time they had. The fact that Dicky
tWhitmer) wore sneakers instead of
climbing shoes also indicates they did
not intend to go to the top"
A party of skilled climbers. headed
by c. M. Foelicher of Colorado Springs,
set out into the more dangerous area
Immediately below the Shield" C. c.
c. enrollees, in parties of five, moved
down. through the lower canyons lead
ing to the Rio Grande Valley.
Veterans Give Opinion.
Most of the mountain veterans who
have scaled the cliff are convinced
that young Mccormick is not on it, al
though some still believed he might
be there. Nearly all were of the opin-
ion that the boys, setting out about
noon last Wednesday, could not have
scaled more than IS feet of the face.
Examination of young Whitmer's
body disclosed no rope burns. There
was no evidence that the youths had
been roped together.

In fact, he believes, it can be made

LABOR AIDE HITS
HOUSE CHA|RMEN
Drive to Force Retirement of
Committee Heads Started
by League.

A drive to force the retirement of
Democratic House committee chairmen
who are blocking" President Roose-
velt's social program has been launched
by Labor's Non-Partisan League.
Speaking today before the National
Conference of Social Work, in session
in Seattle, E. L. Oliver, executive vice
president of the league. said most of
the key committees of Congress, espe-
cially in the House, are controlled by
members elected from safe" districts
many years ago. He said these chair
men are for the most part hostile to
present-day social legislation. The ef-
feet, he said, is to thwart the will OF the
voters as expressed at the polls.
Liberals within the Democratic party,
Mr.. Oliver said. probably could alter
the seniority system. which has gov
erned the selection of committee chair
men, at the next session OF Congress.
Unless the conservative House chair
men are dislodged, he predicted, there
Is little hope for the enactment of a,
legislative program at all proportioned
to the seriousness of our economic
necessities"
Purposes of League.
Labor's Non-Partisan League was or
ganized two years ago to support Presi-
dent Roosevelt for reelection. The
league more recently has been char
acterized by William Green, head of
the American Federal ton of Labor. as
an adjunct Of the Committee for In
dustrial Organization.
Mr.. Oliver was particularly critical
Of the House Rules Committee. which
blocked consideration of the wage
hour bill on several occasions. It is
headed by Representative O'Connor of
New York. Mr. Oliver said the Rules
Committee exercises a virtual censor
ship Of bills to which a majority of its
members object. preventing them from
coming before the House for considera-
ton.
Points to Members Records.
Mr.. Oliver pointed out that the
chairman Of the Ways and Means
Committee was'elected in 1911: appro-
prlations, 1909; judiciary. 1913; bank
ing and currency, 1915; interstate and
foreign commerce. 1917; rivers and
harbors. 1917; merchant marine, 1918:
agriculture, 1917: naval affairs, 1914.
The speaker added:
On the more important commit
tees, not only the chairman but large
proportion of the members are of long
service. With two-thirds of the House
Democrats elected in 1882 or later, only
one-third OF the Ways and Means
Committee members were elected in
those years-and Of that third
none was elected later than in 1882.
Evening star., 1938-06-28

"Of 10 members on the Rules Com
mittee S were elected before 1928,
l was elected in 1928, were elected
in 1880, one was elected in 1892
and no one Congressman elected in
1884 or 1886 is even = member of the
committee. The Appropriations Com
niittee Is less weighted with older
members, but the Congressman elected

Improved Business.

The sharp rise in industrial produc-
ton noted during September by the
Federal Reserve Board will be welcomed
On all sides, although, of course, it
should not be taken as evidence that all
OF the factors retarding business activity
have been eliminated. Much remains to
be done before it can be said that indus
try will have clear sailing ahead, but it
is encouraging that the downward trend
has been reversed.
That the September production figures
in industry reached ninety per cent of
the 1923-25 average becomes all the
more significant when it is remembered
that the improvement during that
month, although the most pror ounced
since October of last year, merely
climaxed rise in output that began in
June and has continued through each
succeeding month.
There is no doubt that the huge out
lays by the Public Works Administration,
even at this early date, have been to
some extent responsible for the business
improvement. That was true of the last
experiment in producing recovery by
governmental pump printing which
proved at best but temporary blessing.
At this time, however, there is no con-
vincing evidence that the present pump
printing venture will repeat the unhappy
result of the last. In fact, there is con-
siderable evidence to the contrary.
In the first place, the present improve
ment began in June-before the stimu-
lating effects of Government spending
had got under way. Then, there has
been evidence recently of change in
dustry. The President has appealed for
an end to name-calling. 1t may be true
that his political successes have in SUBJ
stantial measure resulted from his at
tacks on big business" but there are
also indications that at last there has
come definite realization that the New
Deals economic structure cannot be
erected with permanence on PROSTATE
industrial base.
These factors, coupled with the some
what improved relations between indus
try and labor that developed after the
Supreme Court upheld the Wagner Labor
Relations Act, and despite the serious
criticisms to which that legislation is still
subjected give ground for hope that the
current improvement will be more lasting
in character than the temporary stimulus
derived from the earlier "shot in the
arm"

Letters to The Star
Population Worries justified
On Basis of Current Trend.
To the Editor nj The Star.

MOST Of the comments in newspapers
on population tendencies in the
United States, as revealed in the re-
Gently published work The Problem of
a Changing Population by the National
Resources Committee, contend there is
no reason for worry concerning the future
population. and the committee them
selves are apparently not seriously
alarmed. I desire to say most OF this
optimism comes from the failure to face
the significance of the tendencies.
We may agree with the views that an
eventual. gradual and moderate decrease
in the total population and the increase
of the number of elderly people as COM
pared with the number of children will
not necessarily be detrimental. But mere
general totals reveal only part of the
truth. The committee themselves indi-
cate by the wording of the title and
state explicitly. page and elsewhere,
that the character of the population is
changing. and that some large groups
are rapidly increasing while other large
groups are tending toward extinction
The amount of worrying we do will de-
pend upon our degree of interest in the
elements Threatened with extinstion.
There is no doubt the number OF
births has declined appallingly among
the older American stocks throughout
the Northeastern and Central States and
continues too high among some of the
other elements in those areas and among
all except the more modernist element in
the Southeastern States. The excessive
births among all these latter classes are
a melancholy exchange and satisfaction
for the almost suicidal rates among our
own people in the North. There should
be an urgent crusade so that two to four
children shall be the rule among the
older American and other worthy stocks,
even though the Government must in
some cases give assistance to rear the
children. Otherwise the descendants
will become almost extinct in the future
population. And within their own life
time many married couples, the only
offspring of several families, will have
three or four or more parents and grand
parents to care for in old age or visit in
old folks home.
The births among the people in general
should be so regulated that each worthy
element and each section of the country
shall maintain its own population, or at
least guard against serious decline Not
only worry, but intensive exhortation,
will be needed to bring about this ideal
regulation. CYRUS H. ESHLEMAN.

Believes Wile'S Statement
Was Mere Euphemism,

40 the Eoitor OF The Star:
The rage shown by Prof Mario Barra.
M. A.. on October 3, after reading that
Italy had betrayed Germany and Austria
in the World War is amusing Mr.. Vile
statement was a mere euphemism for
the plain fact Of treachery. The wartime
quotations from two pro-ally historians
given by the professor are neither i'm
pressive nor pertinent. Prof. Barra,
M. A.. should read what German and
Austrian historians said
The treachery consisted not in ignor-
ing q debatable casus foederis, but in
turning that into a casus belli against
old friends. In plain language, Italy
sold out TO the Allies for q better prom
ise of swag, and made tremendous COM
motion at Paris in 1919 when the swag
was not all forthcoming. The fact Is
that, due to its poor resources and vul-
nerable location. Italy must always play
the two-faced Janus in any war involv-
ing British sea power The Germans
know this today and don't count on any
thing but another Italian betrayal when
war comes.
The writer regrets that Prof. Barra,
M. A., should be insulted by facts about
his native country, which produces ex-
cellent wines, cheese and bolognas.

ocean for the friend who Is Just going
away.
Even the comic hulas, which are
burlesques on the stately slow forms, are
filled with the Intangible some thing
which, for want of q better term, one
may call the Hawaiian spirit.
This is the spirit which makes it i'm
possible to take an ordinary fox-trot
song and make an Hawaiian song by the
simple-too simple-expedient of hiring
an expert on the steel guitar" to put
some slides and runs in 1t.
Even q group Of native players and
singers cannot make such q song genuine
by playing and singing 1t. The integrity
of this music would be lacking, in such
q case; they might play and sing "Mexi-
Gala Rose" until the cogs come home, 1t
wouldn't be Hawaiian.
1t is needless to say, perhaps, that
the Hawaiians themselves have COM
posed many ballads which are not Ha-
waiian, but imitation American; even
the genius of a people cannot hit the
bulls-eye all the time.
-
The nostalgia sadness of much Ha-
That noble instrument is perhaps the
most mournful Of all the stringed makers
Of music: q good player upon it can
bring tears with fandango.
When to this inherent characteristic
is added the subtle slide with a steel
bar. in the hand OF a musician, there is
produced sort OF super sadness. which
Is so noticeable in so many songs from
the islands.
This is proved, one may feel, when a
real Hawaiian song of farewell is put
into modern American dress-orches-
trated, maybe with harp and organ
and played with the deliberate intent
of drawing tears from the eyes of lis
teners.
1t does no such thing, for the integrity
has been destroyed.
This oneness OF this music is wrecked
in the opposite direction by the attempt
to dress popular jazz tunes in grass
skirt.
1t may be success with listeners who
know no better, but in time they will
come to realize the fraud.
For the hope is that listeners who
are drawn by the soft slur Of the guitars
will turn to the real thing, and find it so
much better that they will have no fur
ther use for the limitations.
If we must have Hawaiian music
and it seems that we must-let us have
1t the real thing all the way through
native tunes. native instruments, native
singers, and, above all, the inherent ma
tive trueness to type.
1t is only by listening to the real thing
that the music lover is able to understand
exactly what is meant by the term,
the integrity OF Hawaiian music Once
he has come to this understanding, he
will know instantly on hearing which
Is the real thing, and which isn't. never
forgetting that there are shades and
grades in this as in all subjects, and
that too much dogmatism is unnecessary
