Eyes North

We must try to stop looking At the world with the eyes
u yesterday and try with the Of tomorrow
We think Of the Atlantic the broad between
New York and Cherboug We must begin to think Of 1t ~
the Great Circle airplane crossing from Halifax across
Greenland and Iceland to northern Europe
We think Of the Pacific the vast reach from San Fran
cisco to Hawaii to Manila to Hong Kong We must begin
TO think Of it ~ the hopskipandjump by air from the
Asiatc mainland to Alaska
Thus the United States cannot fail to be interested in
what happens TO Greenland and Iceland.
Greenland largest island in the world is populated by
only 400 Danes and $1,000 natives The United States used
to have claims the northern part of 1t result of
Pearys explorations but renquished them when the Virgin
Islands bought from Denmark. Most of Greenland
lies farther west than Brazil.
Iceland most ancient of democracie has 900 people,
and Is definitely eastern hemisphere 1t might claim the
United States by right of discovery for it from here
that Left Ericsson set sail for vnland in the year 1000
Both islands have been happy in their obscury utterly
without defense But islands that happen to be of military
value can no longer be obscure The world made it So
AND since has been made plain that any deensess ne

Louis Silva had to say about this
matter in a speech in Florida
after his contract had ended with
the Townsend organization?
Voice OF The Nation, publish
ed at st. Petersburg, formerly
The Townsendite) printed Mr..
Silvs's speech, and is constantly
revealing facts which we oldsters
are entitled to know. Those who
can, should go back to April Is,
1885 Townsend weekly and re-
read that issue and then check
up on what has taken place.
AS a Townsend speaker in the
state of Michigan for more than
two years, 1 constantly warned
Townsendites, that, when and If
we become a power to be recog-
nized, then is when we would
have to look out for crooked
politicians who would seek to
gain control from within, rather
than try to wreck our movement
out in the open.
Dictatorship and democracy do
not and can not tremendously
work together. When one comes
in the other goes out. When
and If all states will do what
Oregon did, we can and will have
the Townsend plan such as it
was in HR2.
Did not DR.. Townsend attempt
at the Indianapolis convention
last June to establish democracy
within the movement, and was
he not blocked from so doing?
Why does the 1889 Townsend
club manual give the organiza-
ton lone man in Chicago) the
power to cancel a club charter
or a membership with or with
out a cause ?" Is this majority
rule?

The Ballinger-Pinchot contro-
versy over Alaskan coal lands is
ancient history. but it disrupted
the Taft administration. precipi-
tated the break between Bill and
Teddy, inspired the first organ
lied conservation movement In
the L S. Briefly, Ballinger.
Taft's secretary Of the interior,
was accused by Clifford Pinchot,
then chief forester. with giving
away these valuable properties
to the Guggenheim interests,
Taft stuck by his subordinate,
but a senate investigation con-
Quoted by ex-Justice Brandeis
resulted in his resignation. His
tory has generally adjudged him
guilty.
Lately Mr.. Ickes has written
several letters TO the effect that
Henry Pringle's Life of Taft"
and his own research incline
him to believe that Bsllinger
was wronged. He declared that
"a distinguished predecessor
went to his grave under a cloud,
and that cloud has not been
lifted since" He has asked the
forestry department to permit
his agents to examine its files
in the hope Of finding evidence
that Ballinger was innocent.
1t may be only coincidence,
but a successful termination of
the Ickes crusade will discredit
many illustrious Americans dead
and alive, including President
Roosevelt. Specifically, it will
sideswipe numerous gentlemen
who only recently prevented the
secretary from attaining his
hearts desire-capture of the
forestry service and of the rural
Identification administration.
+. d. r. took no active part
in the old controversy, but he
became a leader in the con-
servation campaign which 1t
inaugurated. Theodore Roose-
welt supported Pinchot unquali-
fiedly, as did Ickes himself at
the time. Pinchot was once an
Ickes pal, but they broke some
time ago. And Clifford led the
forces outside the government
that kept the forestry service
out of Harold's hands.
A chief investigator for the
Brandeis investigators was
Harry Slattery, former under
secretary of interior but now
head of the r. E. A. that Ickes
insists ought to be lodged in
interior. The man who filed
the original charges against
Ballinger was Louis CLAWS,
once P.W.A.'s head detective
but now suspected by his old
boss of inspiring charges that
overlapping was an Ickes hobby.
And only few weeks ago Ickes
received the "Brandeis medal"
as a moral hero"
Most ironic twist is Ickes'
request that Henry Wallace
turn over the forestry service
files in the effort to prove that
Pinchot was mistaken and Ball
niger was blamless. For one
reason why the congress re-
fuses to approve the proposed
forestry transfer is the interior
departments unsavory record in
