The down and -outer in the slums
is not the average American.
This, think, is the funda-
mental thing wrong in Wash
ingtOn. They do not know the
country. They borrow from
Europe and from college text
books-never from life. They
think there are only two classes
here. They have forgotten the
great bulk Of us. Their the
cries, doctrines, and even their
plans for the future will carry
this IOp-Sided, uneven economy
further along its ill-chosen path,
not into Utopia, but possibly
into corruption Of the greatest
average form we have estab-
lished, and even possibly into
the moral and financial bank
ruptcy of its democratic cap
tialistic system.
| do not say they want to do that.
Mr.. Hopkins is quoted in the New
Yorker article as saying he had
dropped his former belief that So
eialism is necessary. He thinks now
the "job can be DONE" as he calls
it, within the capitalistic structure.
In my opinion, that all depends up
on the extent to which he is allowed
to carry out his theory We have
some so-called social security now.
At least, we have the taxes and are

Watch Labor Unions
The other half of the new kind Of
world being developed from Wash
ington concerns the labor unions
There are only two organizations
of people getting rich out of this
Wharf.-The labor unions and the
churches. This is because neither
is subject to taxation. No other
wealth can possibly spring up I'M

wealth will do to the churches, but
what it will do to the. force and

in our society is problem to war
rant the attention of all, including
the union leaders. Initiation fees and
dues being what they are nova
days, the men who control the I'M
ions are able to establish great banks
and insurance companies, hold vast
real estate in Washington--and, as
we saw long before the war came
along to enhance their riches, give
million dollars to a Presi-
Dental campaign.

The Proof Of History

Dawson County Review

Before presenting a bouquet to
our government for Selling the coal
mines, this country should study the
record Of government intervention
in British coal mining. 1t is a rec
ord Of failure.
After the first war, tinkering with
the coal BUSINESS became an estab-
lished policy Of the British govern
ment. Everything from subsidies
down to virtual government owner
ship has been tried in an effort to
raise coal production-tha is. ev-
erything except turning the coal
mines back to their owners with
no strings attached. British coal
mines are currently almost COM
pletely nationalized, and the mines
are still beset with falling produc-
ton, inefficiency and rising coal
prices. England's coal industry has
never been able to meet the de-
mands of the war emergency
In the United States, the history
Of coal has been different. After
the first war, production was left
in the hands of private Enterprises
who went ahead and built flexi-
Bile, highly productive coal indus
try. When World War II came and
demand for coal skyrocketed, Amer
lea coal mines were equal to the
task. They met production sched-
ules.
But in spite of the production
achievements in our coal mines, re-
strictions on management have been
Closing in from every side. The
mines are now in the hands Of gov
eminent, just as in Britain The
old controversy of government YER
sus private enterprise, has raised
its head. And as usual, the idea
is promoted by public. officeholders
that the government can run indus
try better than the private citizens
who created it.
BY the initiative of free enter
prise, with government in the ira
ditional role Of umpire, the United
States has become a nation of pro-
duction miracles. History proves
there is no other way to chieve
real progress. Are we to step back
wards now?

Lecture At
University

Missoula.-With view to main
tanning realistic contact with the
working press of the state, Dean
James L. c. Ford of the School of
journalism at Montana State Uni
versity has inaugurated a plan for
bringing leading publishers to the
campus for a week at a time to
serve as members of the staff.
First on this program of profess
sional lecturers will. be w. F. Finn,
publisher of the Miles City Star.
He will deliver series of lectures
during the week beginning Feb. 81.
The Star has particular interest for
students of journalism because it is

owns and operates its own radio
station.
In March at a date yet to be set
students are to have an opportunity
to hear Alexander Warden, business
manager of the Great Falls Tribune.

SEAL SALE E GOING BIG; HAVE YOU BEEN
 MISSED I5 QUESTION

According to Mrs. Bess Vim, Ex- ecutive Secretary of the Alaska Tu- berculosis Association, if there is anyone in Juneau who has not by now received tuberculosis Christmas seals and are desirous of obtaining the same, they may do so by con- tacting James McNaughton at the B. M. Behrends Bank, or by calling the Association office at 234
 The seal sale, states Mrs. Winn, is far exceeding expectations. Con- tributions are pouring in from all over Alaska. Locally the results are also most favorable. Perhaps this is due to the fact that, thanks to the cooperation of the Girl Scouts, the seals were mailed earlier this year than last. The girls, most of them members of Troop g, ad- dressed letters, folded the seals, stamped letters and made numerous trips to the Post Office. Without their willing help, the mailing would possibly have been delayed a week or so longer.

ROOD SAYS REINDEER
 DECREASING; STORAGE
 PLANT BUILT, NUNIvAk

J. s. Rood, Supervisor of Rein deer for the Bureau of Indian Af- fairs, who arrived here recently from Nome, reports that the number of reindeer has decreased, through wolf action, in herds where con- stant watching has not been done, especially in the Seward Peninsula.
 Some herds, such as those at Bar row, Escholtz and Golovin, have shown a gain through constant herding.
 It continues to be difficult to get the Eskimos, in the region from the Seward Peninsula south, to do this type of work for two reasons: One, high wages offered by defense ac- tivities; two, the lesser need of natives along the southern section of the west coast for reindeer pro- ducts.
 All natives along the coast need deer skins for garments, but the need for reindeer meat in the south- ern sections is less acute
