NATIONS AND THE NEW YEAR

Editorial from files of Laurel Outlook, Jan. 10, 1929
What will be the policy of the nations of the earth the COM
ing year? Will it be a policy of fairness and justice toward
each other, a case of live and let live, or will they continue their
present policy of "hogging" everything upon which they can lay
their hands?
Let us glance over the field? In America we naturally
want to build up our merchant marine and extend our foreign
trade. But we do not covet any foreign territory, we want no
Preparations" we seek nothing that can not come to us in a
legitimate manner and with peace and good will toward all men.
That is the traditional policy OF this country as handed down
to us from the days of our ~forefathers.
The seas belong to all people who have an inclination to
traverse them, either for pleasure or for profit, yet England
yearns to control them and thereby monopOlize the ocean freight
carrying industry of the world. She does not want to see other
nations carrying cargoes from port to port in their own YES
sells. The sun never sets upon British possessions, yet the
mother country has a watchful eye eve on the alert for new
territory that offers a possibility of future profit.
Germany nurses an animosity toward the British and the
French, especially the latter-that will never die. She but
bides her time, hoping that some day she will be able to come
back" combine with Russia and Turkey, retrieve the disasters
of her recent defeat and collapse, and wreak vengeance upon
her hated neighbor.
Turkey is bitter toward all Christians, and would like moth
ing better than to put every follower of Christ to the sword.
Soviet Russia plans the overthrow of all regularly estab-
lshed governments, with the red flag of bolshevism ultimately
waving over all Christendom.
The Japanese eye never closes in it's constant watching for
an opportunity to acquire our Pacific possessions and thereby
provide an outlet for her ever increasing population.
Mexico, that hotbed of revolution, is reasonably quiescent
at present, but it is only a question of time when the lid will
fly off again. There is no permanent stability below the Rio
Grande.
Austria is in much the condition of a toad that has been
stepped upon by an elephant. She is in no condition to even
let out a squeak. But some day she, too, will have bitter scores
to settle.
The followers of the prophet are seething with discomfort
over British rule in India. Egypt is not satisfied with her
semi-independence, China is divided against herself by internal
wars, Spain and Italy are wondering if it is worth while keep
ing their kings, and most of the lesser nations of the earth
are barking at something or other in order to keep in the push
And so it goes. Throughout the earth, with few exceptions
we find hatred, suspicion, greed, avarce -everything but good
will toward men.
Nineteen twenty-three has a heavy burden to bear with for
eign nations.

this subject the department and tie
National Park service will recon-
mend to congress that no changes
be made in the present boundaries

The committee statement, calling
the Olympic forest "a precious pos
session of every citizen of the United
States" said conservationists every
where had protested against the pro-
posed shameful lumber grab, en-
dorsed by The National Park serv-
ice," and as a result of the demand
of citizens that the forests be pro-
tected from the greedy lumber
operators, the interior department
o has withdrawn it's support of
the bills"
Congratulating the department on
its opposition to the bills, the COM
mittee said this new stand NEAR
"the department will be leading the
fight for the preservation of the
Olympic forests and will be battling
with conservationists for the integ-
rity of the Olympic park, and for
the safety of the whole national park
system, which is so ominously
threatened"

Bacon Once Used for Fuel
In Steamboat Race Up River

BEARDSTOWN, ILL. - Bacon,
which now decorates the butchers
display case at such a fancy figure,
once was used for fuel in a steam
boat race up the Mississippi river.
On April IA, 1848, the skipper of
the Ocean Spray ordered barrel
after barrel of bacon thrown into
the frebox to work up additional
steam in the losing race with the
Hannibal City.
But the bacon wasn't enough, so
the skipper had the "black gang"
stuff the furnaces with turpentine-
soaked cordwood.
1t vas too much for the boilers,
which blew up with "a large loss
of life," according to an account
of the incident in the Quincy Gill;

Oppose Changes.
In a letter to Mrs. c. N. Edge,
chairman of the emergency conser-
walton committee, Davidson wrote:
"The department is opposed to
any changes in the present bounda-
ries of Olympic National park and
will so report to congress at any flu
ture hearings which might be held
on bills now pending.
SIN September, hearings on this
subject were held in Olympic park
by the public lands committee of the
house of representatives. l attended
these hearings along with Director
Drury and other representatives of
the National Park service, and in
addition to testifying, we listened at
tentively to the testimony presented
by both proponents and opponents of
the boundary changes.
Following these hearings, in
company with the chairman of the
public lands subcommittee, we flew
over the park and noted some of the
areas proposed to be eliminated. I
also traversed some of the areas by
automobile and on foot in order to
secure a better view of the giant
trees and the Rain Forest.
"As a result of all this, the depart
ment and the National Park service
reached the conclusion that there
be no changes in the present
of Olympic National
park. Before leaving the Northwest,

Strange Byrd
(Washington Post)

Washington Post)
 That great champion of Federal economy and tax payers rights Senator Byrd has added another set of scaps to his collection During the harried hours before the Eighteth Congress wound up when the Federal pay raise being debated, he successfully harpooned the efforts to extend the increase to high Government officials and Cabinet members The re- suit of this eagleeyed economy is to save" the tax payers all of one million dollars in legislation that will cost about 53O millions.
 Since he intent on saving money, pre- sumably Senator Byrd was not much concerned with the incidental effects of this exclusion. The exclusion however, is in many ways more significant than the raise that voted. For the goats in the Byrd economy" the persons most intimately concerned with the carrying out of governmental policy. The heads of many Government agencies drawing salaries that set by law 20 years ago. They have suffered from imitation less than have classified workers After much thoughtful consdera tion an attempt made in the Senate to win approval raising the salaries of such officials and of Cabinet members an average of $5000 year. In knocking this provision out Senator Byrd helped confirm the fact that governmental service high plane is becoming something only rich afford
 An even worse result of the Byrd economy" is the anomaly it creates with respect to subordinates For example, bureau head whose salary is set by law will continue to receive $10000 but his assistant who occupies classified position, now may be paid up to S10330. If that is good administrative prac tice then the whole idea of remuneration in accord ance with responsibility it topsyturvy Altogether the botch that emerged from Congress, to which Sena tor Byrd contributed in large measure, cannot help but augment the hemorrhage of talent from the Gov ernment. How the Federal service hold on to its top personnel much less attract able men from private life when ridiculous inconsistencies prevail? Thanks to Senator Byrd the taxpayers one million dollars rcf,erand poorer by many times that amount in the damage that has been wrecked the caber of their Government

Perhaps all Juneauites did not read and digest the information given cut at recent Chamber of Commerce meeting by Col. T. J. Fully, ACS Com mander.
 For instance he said that Alaska Communications System has an annual payroll in Southeast Alaska about s35OoO employing 120 both military and civilian. Of this amount $l5O000 comes to Juneau where 55 persons are staffed He said that present plans call for the expenditure of additional $5oO00 in Juneau and $l100O0 each at Skagway and Ketchkan for expanded facilities. He said that ACS will be equal to anything in the States when present plans are completed.
 Some good sized payroll for Juneau in itself that perhaps few here had stopped to consider.
 Colonel Fully also explained the many recent inn movements in service for ship-to-shore communica- ons telephone lines and radio broadcasting facilities He said that ACS handle more business on its lines than can be transmitted to the States because of limits placed by Canadian and United States tele- phone facilities.
