not an evidence Of incOnsis-
tency for your columnist to
advocate Intervention by the
United States in It's own de-
clared sphere of influence and
authority, and NON-INTER-
VENTION by the United
States i'm seas and continents
which are not a part of this
Western Hemisphere nor
within the area of the United
States legitimate and clearly
defined activity and sOve-
reignty.
Your cOlumnist is an hum
BILE follower of the founders
of this great republic.
He is merely trying In all
sincerity to be a good Ameri-
can and a good democrat with
a small d.
He prefers to follow the
principles of jefferson, who
wrote the declaration of
American independence of
foreign domination, who Gre
ated the Democratic Party to
promote the welfare of the
plain peOple--and whose poll
cies in practical operation for
a century and a half have
built the greatness of this ma
tiOn-rather than to follow
the principles and policies of
q NEW deal which has been
unsuccessful in absolutely
everything it has undertaken
from the day of its unhappy
birth and is now about to
undertake what might prove
to be the browning disaster of
Its calamitOus career.
Your cOlumnist Is an isOIa-
zionist, yes, and believes with
jefferson that:
at ought to be the pery
first object of our pursuits
to have nothing to do Nth
European interests and pol
itics.
"Let them be free or
= Slaves at UiH. navigatOrs or
Ggrtcu lturdls, swallowed
INTO one government or d.
vided into q thousand, noe
hare nothing to fear from
them IN any form"
Nothing to fear from them,
truly-unless we involve our
selves in their countless jeal-
Ousies and ever continuing
conflicts.
Friendship we can entertain
for all nations, as Washington
advised.
Sympathy we can feel for
all people.
But what better expression
is there of sincere sympathy
than a hope for q just and
permanent peace for them as
well as for ourselves?
Peace must come sometime.
Why should it not come be-
fore millions more of the war
ring peoples shall have been
slain, and before millions of
our own fine American boys
shall have been sacrificed i'm

IN THE NEWS

amplified by succeeding pres
idents.
And finally, at the risk OF
war with England over heI
encroachments upon Vene.
zuela, President Cleveland de-
fined the determined attitude
'of the United States with q
declaration which said:
To-day the United States
is practically sovereign ON
THIS CONTINENT and
its fiat is lao upon the
subjects to qohich 10 con-
fines ats tnterposition."
So, friends and fellow citi.
zens, your columnist must
confess that we did advocate
the United States going ia
war, II necessary, to defend
Cuba from the aggressions
and savage expressions OF
the European power, Spain.
But Cuba Is plainly a "por.
ton Of this hemisphere,
which section of the earth's
surface President Monroe de-
fined as the area of our Amer
lean influence.
And Cuba Is essentially and
for all political purposes a
part of this American CONT
nent, this cis-Atlantic segment
of the earth, this Western
Hemisphere where the United
States assumes itself to be
sovereign" and its fiat law"
Following the advice and
examples Of Washington and
jefferson and Monroe and
Polk and Grant and Cleveland
ALI great American presi-
dents and opponents of true
American ideals--yOur col
umnist assumed that it was
the business-and universally
recognized as the business
of the United States, to inter-
fere in matters of this West
ern Hemisphere, to establish
peace and order in its area Of
influence, and to end the ag-
gressiOn and oppression of
Spain-a European power
in this our AMERICAN HEM
ISPHERE.
Perhaps, friends and fellow
citizens, 1t might be the obIi-
CATION of the United States
to assert that its "fiat is law"
throughout the world, and
that the United States is
practically sovereign" not
only on this American CONT
nent but on the European
continent and on the Asiatic
continent and ON the African
continent.
And II might be the high
duty of this American nation
to undertake a crusade of inn
mense magnificence and mag
nitude throughout the length
and breadth of the earth to-
make the world safe for de-
and to establish the
four freedoms everywhere,
and to spill the blood and dis
sipate the substance of our
people in this glorious en-
deavOr.
But there Is no Monroe
Doctrine to that effect.
There Is no declaration of
Washington, or jefferson, or
Monroe, or Polk, or Grant, or
Cleveland advising and advo-
eating such a policy.

OF adults. If hatred of any group
or class is traced back to its source
it will prove to be an alibi for some
neglect or laziness. A child who
has learned to suffer, though it
may los sc sen-confidence and
courage, may be brought out of
its fog, but child who has learn
ed to hate is SCARED for life. Ha-
tired, like an acid is corrosive and
penetrating. leaving great scars
which never again will be normal.
How can children trained to
hatred, to betrayal and call
umny from their earliest DAYS
ever become honorable men
and women, or citizens of any
decent world? The utter dam
ing Of the children of the fatal
itarian states is not only fhe
greatest menace to the world
Of tomorrow.
Therefore let us not hate
individuals, but hate wrong
(evil acts) and love the right

SPECIAL TAX SESSION I5
 URGED HERE
November Meeting Urged Hearings to Start on
 Income Tax Bill

A special session of the Legisla- ture to deal with taxation problems is proposed by Senator Leroy Sulll- van of Nome in a memorial intro duced in the Senate this morning. The measure calls upon Gov. Ernest Gruening to call special l5-day session some time around November Is of this year for the specific pur- pose of considering new tax pro- gram.
 The Senator's memorial declares the present 60-day session too short for an adequate consideration of the numerous problems relating to tax ation. By November, it is also argued, Federal tax requirements will be known and the Territory will be better able to know what demands it can make on it's taxpayers.
 Tax Committee Proposed
 A bill to create Special Legisla- tive Tax Committee was also intro duced by Senator Sullivan today It would consist of four members from each house, the oldest in point of service from each Division. The Committee would be empowered to employ technical assistance and to study the present tax system and any proposals for change. An ap- propriation of $5,000 for the Con- mittee is made in the bill
 The Taxation Committees income tax bill, providing for both personal and corporation levies will be con- sidered by the Senate in committee of the whole, with a first public hearing to be held at 1 o'clock to- morrow afternoon.
 Senator O. D. Ccchran's bill to re- move the bounty on eagles was con- tinued on third reading until Mon day.
 The Senate adjourned until II o'clock tomorrow.
