Anthropologists and Exploitation
IN the Editor Of The Star:
Despite the learned lines that recently ap-
peared in your columns on the topic Of anthro-
pology the topic leaves not little confusion
in many minds because of its classihcations.
1t is difficult to believe, for example, that a
dark-faced, bushy-haired Ethiopian is white
and that q pink-cheeked straight-haired Cau-
featured person can be Negro. In fact
the term Negro itself often is defined in
way that is scientifically, If not legally, absurd
Why is it that one drop of blood can make
man black in America but not in Ethiopia?
One suspects very strongly that many Of
the conclusions Of European anthropologists who
attained popularity during the Eighteenth Cen
tury were prompted in part by an eagerness
to justify the exploitation of darkest Africa
which was just reaching its most vicious stride.
Moreover, anthropology has been hand
maiden to history in belittling or ignoring the
cultural attributes of the worlds dark peoples
When the evidences were too weighty to be
denied, the peoples were simply classified as
white, as witness the Ethiopians and East
Indians. Less than a half century ago. few
reputable scientists would have challenged the
divine theory OF inherent racial superiority.
Now it lies in wisdoms ashcan
Perhaps the next two decades will bring a
gists who will show the perpetuation of basic
similarities as well as the evolution Of differ
ences which are mainly linguistic anyway
and languages may be acquired.

It. Stan Morgan, vice-presi- dent of the Nome Rotary Club presided at the regular luncheon meeting Thursday in the absence of the president.
 President Karl F. Dewey, is in Anchorage this week meeting with presidents and secretaries of other Rotary clubs in Alaska in a special divisional convention for Alaska Rotary Clubs, under supervision of the new district governor, Ed Warner of Everett, Wash.
 Guests at the luncheon yester- day were s. David Mazen, local postmaster; A. D. Lawrence, su- perintendent of the postal district embracing Montana, Idaho, Wash ington, Oregon and Alaska; Ar

Beginn n g with the early dogteam distribu- ton of mail in Alaska to the pres ent day airliner service, cutting the time from 60 days to less than one day, from the States. He stat ed that the department will be ever watchful for chances to inn prove the service in Alaska, all though it is a costly proposition; somewhere in the neighborhood of $4,0OO,0O0 annually.
 Burgess told the group the new service established in Alaska in September, through zoning of parcel post distribution, along with the movement to zone the United States and Alaska in rela- ton to air parcel post.
 MT. Lawrence, of Seattle, told
The Nome nugget., 1948-08-06

of the difficulties encountered in trying to improve the service to Alaska through the Seattle post office, explaining that in many instances the mails were crowded with packages sent through from other parts of the country, con- trary to general postal regula- tions, and the difficulty through out the system of keeping post masters and their assistants in- formed as to new regulations. But, in spite of rumors to the contrary, the department is con- stantly on the alert for ways and means to improve the service.
