OTIS sPEER FINDS GAME
AND FUR PLENTIFUL

Otis speer returned to Wrangell
recently for the summer from
his camp at the head of Duncan
Canal on Kupreanof island
Besides his limit ON beaver Speer
since midwinter caught nine wolves
in small area around his camp.
Not many traps were used, as, re-
operating from an operation last
fall, he did not feel like extending
his activities to any great extent.
In the past few years Speer has
caught not far from fifty wolves
in the small area around his main
camp.
According to his observations
there are more blue grouse-com-
monty known as hooters-this year
than in any previous year he can
recall Hundreds of geese and ducks
were all around, several mother
geese having their nests within
sight of his cabin. He could stand
in his cabin doorway and see one
OR goose sitting on her nest and
says that she had many neighbors
all along the river and lake. Deer,
he said, seemed to be quite plenti-
full all over the island.
Speer tells of making a trip across
the island looking things over.
Sleeping under trees by a good fire,
he says he slept quite well even
though it was cold and often snow
ing. Three days and two nights
were spent on the trip. He found
game and fur quite plentiful over
practically all of the interior is
land, a fact which substantiates an
article he wrote for the Wrangell
Sentinel a year ago this spring, in
which he stated his belief that game
and fur are not killed off, but only
being driven back away from the
coast line. He had no trouble in
obtaining his limit of ten beaver,
only a few days being required.
Speer says that he has always
been a lover of the outdoors. He gets
a great thrill out of roaming around
looking over the country and it's
game. Almost always he goes alone
as he wants to be free to come and
go as he pleases. To the question Of
getting lost, he only laughs and
asks, why get lost? There is no fun
in getting lost" He has never been
really lost although he has spent
many days and even months alone
in strange country, knowing only
the direction in which he wanted to
travel On one occasion he spent
seven months alone in a strange
country without seeing a human be-
ing.
Keeping busy, is his rule. That,
he says, drives away all thoughts
of worry and sense of confusion.

Twelve male pheasants are ex-
ploring the outskirts of Ketchikan.
They were released for the Alaska
Sportsmens association last week by
Ray Ready He freed eight above
Jack McKay's ranch, across from
the Sunny Point cannery, and four
near the Homestead on southern
Tongass highway. The birds were
sent by the Alaska game commission
because of shortage of male birds
in the Ketchikan vicinity.

CHAIRMAN EXPLAINS FTDAC
DEPARTMENT AMER. LEGION

DEPARTMENT AMER. LEGION
As Department Fidae Chairman
OF The american Legion Auxiliary. l
wish to enughten the general public
IN regard to this Department in the
American Legion Auxiliary.
Fidac is one of the most vital ac-
tivities in the American Legion
Auxiliary today Well, Just tell me
what is Fidae, anyway? The letters,
F-I-D-A-C are the alphabet
cal symbol of the French title,
Federation InteraIlies des Anciens
Combattantss In English that means
Federation of Interallied War Vet
Grams.
These days America is searching
for peace. In the midst of a world
that is purged with unrest and dis
trust. just what place we will till
in the International scheme of
things, remains to be seen. IN Con
gress. there has been debate over
national defense. neutrality, isola-
ton and cur whole foreign policy is
at stake In the matter of National
Defense the position of the Ameri-
can Legion and Auxiliary is clear
and unmisJakable. Just as We adYO-
cate the adequate national defense
we urge a neutrality that may avert
the necessity Of ever having to re-
sort to that defense. Today, as never
before, We must stand fast by our
national character and ideals, but
in self-defense, our outlook must be
international.
The reason that the American Lee
gion Auxiliary considers Fidac of
vital importance just now, perhaps
more than at any other time since it
was founded, is that it is the organ
ization of the World War Veterans
of the Allied countries and the unit
ed States. When it was organized
in 1920. it set up these aims and
purposes: To keep the memory of
the dead. to work for peace; to de-
fend the rights of ex-serviee men
and their dependents; to review
with impartiality the great prob
lens to be solved by different coun-
tries affiliated with Fidac; to COM
bat national or international false
news; TO make it possible for peo-
pies of different nations to become
better acquainted with one another
so that they may better understand
one another and to instruct the
younger generation in this spirit
Those are still the purposes of
Fidac, and all of them very import
tant in these turbulent times One of
the first major accomplishments of
Fidac was achieved by the women
The women, at large, are concerned
about keeping the world at peace,
but, in foreign lands, the influence
of the women has not been as well
organized as in the United States
1t has taken five years for the
foreign members of Fidac, unaecus-
toned as they were to give women
any important part in affairs, but
at last the efforts have been sue
cessful Interallied Fidac AuXiliaries
have been formed, and now there
are auXiliaries in every Fidac coun-
try, organized groups of women in
eleven nations, all working for
peace.
This is an interesting subject, and
further details will be given in the
near future.

RECORD NOT PERFECT

A lot of people, discussing the
eonquests Of the Germans, Italians
and japanese. dismiss the whole
matter by saying. oh, we'll, it's no
worse than We did ourselves when
we were expanding
That's a very easy answer, but
unfortunately like many easy an
swers, it isn't so.
The aggressions and conquests OF
today, are worse than our own. Peo-
pie who speak so about American
expansion Just haven't followed Al
Smiths suggestion that we look
at the record"
The American record in territorial
expansion is no ily-pure sheet, and
it falls far short of ideal standards.
But comparatively it is way above
the average.
The record of ruthless warfare
and repeatedly broken faith in con-
flict with the aboriginal Indians is
not pretty. We came, We saw their
lands. we took them. We killed
many.
Yet it might have been worse.
Ever since, we have been shelling
out millions to keep them in a style
to which we would like to have
them accustomed, and there are
probably more of them today than
there were when Columbus landed.
Our first big expansion was Louis
lana in 1903. This vast western
area, which raised by lao per cent
the American land area, was bought
for 80,00O,000 francs. A cheap price
certainly yet one which Napoleon
was glad to get, and which was i'm
portant money to a struggling and
poor young republic.
When we took Florida from Spain
there was coercion certainly, yet we
assumed claims up to 100000
against that government. Conscience
money? Perhaps, but it at least
shows that We had a conscience.
Many still regard the Mexican
war as naked aggression. Perhaps
it was. Yet just before it broke, we
had Slidell in Mexico Yainly trying
to buy California, and after the ut
ter defeat of the MeXicans, We still
paid $15,O00,O00 for New Mexico
and California, and assumed heavy
claims of Americans against the
Mexican government.
Alaska was bought outright from
Russia for $7,20O,00O. Does it look
like a small price? Many people
thought Seward was crazy to pay
so much.
Even after the complete military
defeat of Spain in 1898, when we
found the Philippines rather unex-
pectedly on our hands, we paid $780,
100000 for them. Cuba has been
made free and independent.
After the Boxer uprising in China
the U. S. got $24,O00,O00 of the in
demnity, and, deciding in 1907 that
it was $13, 100000 too much handed
back that amount to China.
We're not arguing that the
American record in imperialistic ex-
pansion is SO and A 100ths per cent
pure 1t isn't
We're only contending that, when
stacked up against the record of
some other countries, our record of
so and 100 years ago, remembering
that much of the land concerned
was practically uninhabited, pre-
sents some things of which we can
be proud.
The eonquerors of Czechoslovakia,
Albania and Manchuria must not be
allowed to get away with their con-
tinual implications that, "oh, well,
you were just as bad 100 years ago. =
We weren't. Not by country
