Thirty years ago, when William
Howard Taft was president, reci-
procity was offered to Canada, but
refused on the ground that it SEEM
ed to weaken that country's ties
with the motherland. Yet today
something very like it is readily
accepted because it will enable Can
ada to implement more effectively
her loyalty to the same motherland.
Partial lowering of tariff barriers
and other restrictions on trade be-
tween the United States and Can
ada is readily accepted today by
both countries in the name of fur
thering their joint defense. 1t is
simply one more step in the draw
ing together of the two North
American counties. Pooling OF pro-
ductive facilities so that each coun-
try may produce what it can best
produce, without duplicating or
overlapping in the effort, is certain
ly a sensible approach to common
problem

closer together these days, and that
whatever the outcome of the war
they are destined to march in a
very close cadence in the future.
England belatedly tried to con-
clude union with France in those

recognizing the possible strength
that lay in establishing a common
monetary system and in trading
freely with one another unvexed by
customs barriers and formalities.

How Little Do We Know!

Students of American history will recall how much
criticism directed at the federal officials
who negotiated the purchase of Alaska for
millions. But how little did the critics know of this terri
tory of vast potential wealth. little item in yesterdays
papers gives the clue In the last gold production

561.311 000 Quite tidy in consideration of the
original purchase price,
That has not been all The fisheries alone have pro-
duced apar with that figure. Then there have been
game agricultural products and timber and coal whose
figures go high and far True. many millions have been
expended in development At the present time other
millions being expended for defense to make
this outlying possession first line of L. s. defense How
the ledger balance will show that Alaska has returned
many fold for the pcayunish paid for il originally
II should illustrate further that those who bought the
territory buded far better than they knew and that
their should do utmost in continuing to
develop this naturally rich country More adequate land
transportation will do the task quickly than any
. other thing.

Still More Traffic Education Needed

Traffic deaths continue in increasing
total This is not only Of Tacoma. Pierce county the
state and the Pacific Coast but throughout the nation
whole Our local death toll is better and little
than in most communities The fact remains is that
still far from solving this very serious economic and
social problem. Present educational efforts to minimize
the traffic hazards have not been sufficient II is time
increased vigilance insisted greater enforcement
of law violations and properly punish those who liquor
to and become involved traffic deaths and injuries
One of the greatest problems in making highways safer
is limiting the speed of the moorst Any coroner will tell
that too much speed responsible for far the greater
number of accidents. Next the abnormal of
liquors and beverages Too often the two together
In instances highways not constructed to prop
ery for peak traffic loads. However. that usually
slows up the driver instead of creating traffic acct
dents.
The problem is of continuing education; proper
instruction to law enforcement officials getting greater
cooperation from motorists and pedestrians alike and
suading if possible that the quickest to arrive safely
at destination is to drive carefully observing speed
limits and highway signs alike IL may be impossible
to put brains into the drivers of but
at least try to educate what brains they have In doing
that help reduce the present heavy traffic
tally.

PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
FEARFUL OF WAR

Editor. The Times. II is
strange how We Americans are
unable to think for ourselves
clearly and with a constructive
democratic purpose.
Our president has proven his
desire for power time and again
by declaring national emergen-
eies. thus arousing fear from
various quarters in our Ameri-
can people to cover up and make
his unconstitutional undemo-
cratic acts appear a necessity
for our national we'll being. In
the early eighteen hundreds
when our young nation joined
other nations in trying to over
come British economic domina-
ton. that nation invaded our
shores and burned our public
buildings at Washington. Today
when another nation is trying
to break that economic strangle
hold, America is again overrun
on vastly superior scale by
torres. not in military uniform,
but in that despicable. scheming
diplomatic way. with an entirely
different purpose.
Since our dear friend Roose-
welt. his cabinet and financial
bsrons. are SO blindly believed
BY us workers and unemployed
in his likeable ehatty chats. h.
is the fellow for the schemers 10
cooperate with. This insidious
respectable" invasion will hurt
America dearly IN the years IN
come in broken bodies and
minds. economic disloeation and
the injustice we viii have COM
mitted to other peoples in de-
priving them of their just due.
Let no man believe all this
false talk heard from our foreign
influenced and controlled public
executives. America has a job
right here at home keeping our
house in first class order and
not in nosing in other peoples
affairs. JIM L. PETERS.
