ALASKA FOR ALASKANS; HARDING
 FOR HARDING

The wide-eyed naivete of some so-called labor leaders" is refreshing observe to say the least
 Today we learn that A. E. Harding, Secretary of the Washington District Council of the Maritime Federation of the Pacific, is crying from Seattle to Washington that the Alaska for Alaskans' issue is one sprnging not from the Territory but from "ab- sentee mining and packing interests"
 MT Harding as an absentee labor leader should know about such things But if he expects to gain any tC his thesis he is barking the wrong when he sends his letter of protest to Delegate Dimond and to Rep Schuyler Otis Bland Chairman of the House Committee Merchant Marine and Fisheries.
 Tony Dinond knows Alaska and he introduced the bills which Harding seeks to oppose. Congress- man Bland spent last summer in the Territory pre- siding hearing the fisheries. He heard from Alaskans themselves the appeal for greater share of the work in Alaska's foremost industry and he has been ever since staunch advocate of the move to give the resident fisherman and workman break. MT Harding .snt fooing these men and he isn't fooling any of the members Of his organization in Alaska If anybody is being fooled by MT Harding it is that eminent absentee, Harding himself.

 Industrial peace has prevailed throughout the Company's more than 60 years of existence.

Alaska LingOnberries
Seattle -Intelligencer)

Did you ever hear of Vne nngonberry? Most na- tives of Scandinavian countries know it well and transplanted Swedes and Norwegians and members of their families received supplies from Europe until came along.
 Then they made the discovery that the lingon- berry-otherwse known the mountain cranberry and possessing tangy flavor reminiscent of that fruit and of the huckeberry-also grows abundanty in Alaska.
 And the lingonberry is beginning to be har- vested in Aaska-and canned in Seattle-and intro duced to thousands who never heard of it before.
 It is one of the incidents that show that even the deprivations of can be turned to use by those who keep their eyes open
 And it should open many eyes to the possibilities of Alaska with its climate geography and resources so closely matching those of the Scandinavian pen nsua.
 Alaska now has from 60 900 to 10000 inhabitants, half of these being natives. It should have from 6O OO0 to 700O000
 It will have them-when Americans become thoroughly sold" upon the development possibilities awaiting them in own Northland.

LOGIC

We read it four times to make sure But each the same way:
 T don't mind an aggressive policy in the Far East but I don't want us to get involved in the European Yet I think should help Fin land with loans"
 Translated, it means: It's all right to get in- volved in Asia We mustn't get involved in Europe But we ought to have helped Finland even if we do get involved in Europe.
 That doesn't sound like policy. It sounds more like a candidate--or Oracle Allen

Confused Analogy
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 Adolf Hitler probably hoped to win the sympathy of Undersecretary Welles by telling him that Ger many would fight until Britain and France recog- nized a German Monroe Doctrine for central l Europe" The result likely to impress the visiting fact-fnder with Der Fuehrer's ignorance o history and total incomprehension of what the Mon Doctrine is
 Today the Monroe Doctrine is expressed in the good neghbor policy Instead of being the enforce ment of the idea that the United States has the right to dominate its smaller neighborS, it is rec ognized by all western nations as a policy for pre- venting outside interference in American affairs. It has become the doctrine of Brazil and Chile much of the United States
 Even before the broader interpretation came to be placed on the doctrine it never used to abuse Latin Americans as Germany today crushes the Austrians, the CzechoSovaks and the Poles There is unbridgabe gulf between Americas attitude and Nazi Germanys toward weaker peoples
 Hitler simply dresses up, for Welles benefit, the well-known Nazi ambition to dominate all Europe To liken it to the Monroe Doctrine will not make it any paatabe to the visitor to the rest of Europe.
