THREE -FOURTHS OF A CENTURY

Tomorrow, Saturday, March 30th is the anniversary of the pur chase of Alaska from the Imper- ial Russian government, popular ly called at the time, Stewards Folly" Stewards Icebox," etc.
 The date of purchase is given as March 30, 1867, when the flag of Russia was lowered at the then seat of government at Sit &a, and the Stars and Stripes of Uncle Samuel were raised.
 Third and fourth generations are today living in the Territory, once a storehouse of values to Russia, and which she relinquish ed according to history with hesi +ancy.
 And yet in seVenty-tWo years, how far has Alaska progressed? Its numerous cities and villages are still struggling along on the same type of keel as in Russian days. When winter comes, away 20 the busy workers to other climes; and without single lar ge winter-time industry. Only in Juneau where quartz mining is carried on the your round is there the industry which will do so much to make a permanent population.
 Alaska has been the victim in the past of land-grabbers, bureau cratic "overlords," and has been without a definite, well-defned program of development. We can point to Canada where the value of development enterprises is to- day bearing fruit throughout it's entire Northwest territories. There, systematic programs of prospecting and planning of new industries goes on all the time. Yet Alaska still has done nothing to even approach basic study of the valuable resources and min eral wealth throughout it's con- fines.
 We have an Alaska Planning Council sitting at Juneau, the territorial capital, This board, however, is busily engaged in pre- pairing on paper the value of AL aska's wealth in terms of natural resources, etc. What we need, and In big way, is action.
 Gold mining Is the main indus try of this section, and strange to relate nearly every gold pro- ducer in the district is still work ing ground discovered and min ed in the primitive ways of thir- ty years ago. No new finds have been made of any consequence during the past twenty years, Which speaks well for the origin al locators. However, let's con- bine and try to obtain full sys tematic prospectus of the entire section with a view to systematic prospecting sometime in the near future. Alaska has gone far since that day in 1867, but she is to go still farther.

possibility the fate of the great
British fleet will be the thing in
which the United States has tie
most vital interest. Should that fleet
fall into the hands of the dictators,
our position will be dangerous in
deed. For We do not possess a two
ocean navy. Ours, say the experts,
is good enough to protect US in
either thF Pacific or the Atlantic,
but not in both. And it would take
many years to build a two-ocean
fleet. That explains the widespread
hope that if the Allies lose, the
British fleet will be either scuttled
or, better yet, sent to Canada, where
it could work in cooperation with
ours.
Another question involves the
role of labor in national defense.
The columinsts have been almost
unanimous in saying that labor can
no longer be "pampered,' and that
opinion seems to be shared in some
quarters. Strikes and similar diff
culties, run this argument, cannot
be allowed to throw the proverbial
monkey wrench into the defense
machine. There is a strong move
ment to revise present laws govern
ing the number of hours man can
work. 1t takes skilled and willing
hands to make the many things a
modern army must have. and many
believe that we have none too many
: of them. Most of the unemployed
are in the unskilled category. In
some fields, notably machine tool
work. there is a definite shortage If
good men.
How can industry be geared to
arms production? Certainly our fac
tories are not ready for that-they
have been built to make the instru-
ments of peace. not the weapons of
destruction. Tremendous readjust.
ment in methods will be necessary.
There must be fawless coordination
in production, transport and assem-
bly,. Industrial leaders are working
overtime now TO bring this about,
but it cannot be done in hurry.
Finally. the commentators say,
there must be better coordination in
government. We can no longer af-
ford to have overlapping bureaus,
divided responsibility. pickering and

jealousy between officials. There can
be no unnecessary waste of time and
resources.
One thing seems certain - the
course OF the Federal government.
no matter who is elected president
next November, will he very differ
ent than in the past. Practically all
the observers are convinced that
domestic reforms will largely be
shelved, and that the 'left-winE"
element in government will be eased
out of the picture. 1t will be neces-
sary to discard or defer many OF the
New Deal detectives, they say, even
if Mr.. Roosevelt runs and wins
again. In brief, it is felt in almost
all circles that the government must
in the future follow a relatively con
sentative course.
The bloody events of the past two
months, curiously enough, seem to
have reduced almost to the vanish
ing point the chance OF our going to
war in Europe. There are too many
dangers confronting US here to take
chance on sending our warships
and men abroad. This country does
not want war and will not start war.
But the whole country is wondering
if and when war will come to US.

Defense Program

The nation is embarking on a de-
fence program unprecedented in its
peace-time history. But, as the COM
mentators are pointing out, there is
more to national defense than simp-
ly appropriating money for ships
and planes and tanks and soldiers.
No matter how great a nations re-.
sources, an adequate defense struc-
ture cannot be created overnight.
And when nation has long been
accustomed to the ways of peace. it
is an extremely difficult thing to adj
apt it to the ways of war.
The defense program involves
many questions, some as yet unan-
swered. First and by far the most
important question is simply this:
What are We going to defend? A
military establishment sufficient to
guard our territorial borders is one
thing "a military establishment ade-
quate to guard the Philippines, nor
thern South America, Greenland,
the British West Indies and other
far flung places, is obviously an.
other. That question cannot be full
1y answered until it becomes com
pletely clear who is going to be the
winner in the European war. If
the Allies win, we will have little to
fear. If Germany wins land it is ap.
parent that Our whole pending de-
tense plan is based upon that grim

The Low Down
From Hickory Grove

Each year we been getting a re.
port on the State of the Nation.
They have been masterpieces. And
each report has been how to try
something new and novel-and cure
what is wrong, And after each
100 million tossed away, we dust
off our vest and sort of look sheep
ish, but stay right herewith our
mouth waiting for the next
cure-all.
But now, with the thunder roar
ing across the pond, we discover
out of a clear sky-that we are in a
terrible fix. Our army is a pee-wee
our navy is run down at the heel.
A fine kettle of fish.
What they been doing and not
doing down there on the wordy Po-
tomac is just dawning on us. But
in England it was likewise, and
now they have Churchill and Eden
after the horse is gone.
But we do not need to go plumb
crazy, and stampede. But we do
need to get goins-also lake on a
pilot with some idea CT where we
will land.
We have had al overdose of the.
DRY and oratory-we gotta get down
to business.
Yours with the low down,

up by the Roanoke rivers big show
is over. we can all return to our
custom, y task. or pastime. Of Wor-
rying about the war. We might find
some time to discuss politics. In
deed. there will be more and more
time found for that as the coming
months roll by and as the campaign
warns up.
Maybe. after all, the flood, pitiable
and destructive though it was, came
as a blessing in disguise to get tor
;ured minds off the horrors in Eu-
rope and their portent for us Amer
leans.
Anyhow. whatever our pet worries
were that were interrupted by the

|. During the four years war the
state spent more than S26,000,000 for
war supplies, North Carolina soldiers
were better fed. clothed and armed
than soldiers from any other state

Republicans and two conservatives.
Seven of the Republicans were car

Sign Your Name

Frequently the Daily Dispatch re-
ceiveS accounts of weddings, parties,
dinners and the like, with the request
thai they be printed, but to which
names Of identification are not
signed Most newspapers have an
almost ironclad rule against publish
ing anything that cannot be identi-
fled or verified
II an anonymous article is re-
ceived about an event of outstand-
ing importance, efforts are made to
contain the facts, in which event
they are published But it is like
handling dynamite to print birth
announcements, marriages and some
times even personals, when no one
is willing to assume enough reSpon-
sibility for them to sign d name.
IhlS newspaper, as arc most oil
them, is always glad to nave items
Of, interest, but often such articles
are received with no name attached
anywhere, and they promptly find
their way to the trash basket. Those
who Serd in this type Of correspond
ence and who never see it in print
may find in nearly every instance
that this is the explanation.
We have thought this rule was
/ fairly well understood, but Of late
it has seemed that many people
either overlook or disregard it. 1t
must be insisted, therefore, for our
own protection, that items or artl-
cles for publication bear the name
of the sender. Names will not be
published if the sender prefers them
not to be, but we must know them
