WILL YOU HELP
THE CHILDREN?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

And he who gives a child a
treat. makes JOY bells ring in
heavens street" So wrote John
Masefield
What of the starving children
OF Europe? Are We going TO turn
aside from the thought OF little
children without food. in annoy
ance at disturbance OF our own
way of life?
"Of course not, but" can see
the indignant look I'd get if news
papers had television.
Yet-the other day | sat near
two women in a restaurant Just
ordinary, average, every day wo-
men. They We're indignant because
they couldn't get what they want
ed. with their figures they
shouldn't have had it anyway
They said this feeding Europe was
just nonsense. that so and SOS
cousin had heard it from friend $
brotherin-law that all this talk
about famine was just way to
do honest Americans out OF their
just deserts. q think they must
have spelled it with double -.
That the food we sent was just
resold in black markets and any
way the children din't need it,

and besides the Europeans had
gotten themselves into this mess,
let them get out OF it.
And then next to me at break
fast was man who was most
hulfy with the waitress when she
didn't bring him more butter for
his toast. Perfectly ridiculous, All
this nonsense about food shortage
was just 10 make profit for
somebody What would WE get
our Of feeding Europe?"
They weren't what like to
think OF as Americans. Does it
really matter what the nationality
or creed OF starving child is ?
Does it really matter what the
rights and wrongs of the past are
Can We with our tradition, with
our national principles-and with
our resources-do less than help ?
No people can remain Indifferent
to the suffering of the innocents
without losing something OF their
own spiritual integrity. This fam
inc emergency is just what the
words imply-a famine, an utter
lack OF food-an emergency that
does not allow OF waiting or hag-
Cling over help. What is done
must be done now before il is too
late.
viii YOU help the starving chill
dren of the world? Save and share
that you may do your part to
help the innocents who cannot
help themselves.

Relief For
 Gold Operators

Delegate Bartlett has testified favorably in behalf of a bill pro- viding financial relief for owners of gold miners who had to close their mines or curtail operations as the result of restrictions i'm posed by the limitation order L-208 of the War Production Board.
 The bill, H. R. 1893, was in- troduced by Congressman Engle of California, and hearings are be- ing held before the subcommittee of the House War Claims Commit tee of which MT. Engle is chair man.
 The measure provides that within six months after it becomes law a gold mine operator may submit claims for the amount of loss, including the costs of placing the mine in its pre-L-2O8 condl- tion, caused by closing the mine or curtailing operations.
 All claims would be considered and certified by an examiner ap- pointed by the Secretary of the Treasury, and provision is made for appeals from the examiners decisions through the United States District Courts.
 Carl Lomen of Nome and Seat tie and Philip Bradley, Jr., inter ested in several mines in Alaska, including the Alaska Juneau Gold Mine, also appeared before the subcommittee in endorsement of the bill.
The Nome nugget., 1946-02-20
Rivers And HarbOrs

Construction on twelve rivers and harbors projects in Alaska au- thorized by Congress in 1945 is not contemplated for the fiscal year l947 following drastic cuts made by the Bureau of the Bud get and the House Committee on Appropriations on sums requested by the Chief of Engineers.
 The Chief of Engineers, in draw ing up requests for funds for all projects throughout the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Is lands, authorized by Congress in l945, submitted a program calling for an appropriation of S117,00O,- 900 which the Budget reduced to $28,000,000. This program includ- ed funds in the amount of S1,OOO.- 900 for the Wrangell NarroWs pro- ject out of the twelve territorial projects authorized, but this sum was eliminated when the program was finally submitted to Congress.
 In view of this action and be- cause of the existence of an econ Omy bloc in Congress, it is impos- sible to predict when funds will finally be appropriated so that all twelve Alaska rivers and harbors projects will be constructed. The Chief of Engineers had submitted an advance six-year program on maintenance and improvement of rivers and harbors works which now will undoubtedly have to be revised because of action of the Budget and Congress.
 The Chief of Engineers included in his budget a total estimation of S67, 7,871,5 500 for maintenance and improvement of existing pro- jects and other continuing and

ALASKAN ARGOSIES?

wagons are preparing for a ren- dezVous again, only this time they will be LISTS and C-47S for the pioneers of l946. Destination: Alaska.
 Ever since the Alaskan Coast and the Aleutians became impor- tant to our defense, GIs and their officers have been bombarding Alaskan Delegate E. l.. Bartlett; his predecessor, Anthony J. Di- mond, and the Department of the Interior with questions about op- portunities in Alaska.
 So far, obstacles in the way of pioneering in Alaska have been too great to be overcome by the average individual. The expense of getting there alone is consider able. The additional expenses of maintenance, housing and trans pOrtation while one "is looking around" make the experiment al most prohibitive.
 Although the Interior and the Delegates office in the Capitol here have been generous in doling out information whenever it is re- quested, the residents of Alaska their chambers of commerce, etc, have not been too eager to encour- age migrations.
 There is good reason for this Nobody knows better than the Territory's inhabitants what the problems are of locating and mak- ing a living there. To invite an in- flux of persons ill equipped by temperament, physique and fi- nance to withstand the ViciSsi- tudes of Alaska would be only to increase it's problems of relief and unemployment a thousandfold. Alaska's Gov. Ernest H. Gruen- ing once said that a decent, inde- pendent living could be worked out in the Territory by any man with the pioneer spirit, equipped with initiative, courage, brains, braWn, patience, persistence-and some capital" That's a whale of an order.
 On the other hand, Harold l.. Ickes, while secretary of the in- teriOr and other officials have been singing the song of Alaska for years. 1ckes, writing recently Gin This Week Magazine) again cried shame" that we hadn't done more to skim something more than three billion dollars off the cream of natural resources in the Territory for which we paid less than seven and half million dol lars.
 Alaska is our last great frontier of untapped natural resources.
