Alaska ' .The perconceptiorls of most _of those who went to Alaska wilh the late president were rudely shaken by contact with the facts regarding that amazing ferritcgy. says Charles‘ G. Ross. in American Forestry. Some of us. I suspect. had been thinking of Alaska. mainly in terms of snow shoes and sledges. ice and iglios. the gold rush into the ferri- tory and the supposed rush out of it when the gold crop failed. Some; who had gained other imprtuisons than those to be had from fictional thrillers. who knew that Alaska hold great wealth in mines. fisheries. and forests. believed that these resellrcds were being kept under lock and key by'hn “liberal policy foisted by the Government. against the best inter- ests of Alaska and the nation at large. by Gifford Pinchotani the present active leaders, including the Secretary of Agriculture and the Chief Forester. in the conservation movement. ‘ There was much revamping of op- inion to be done. as the true picture of Alaska. day by day. was unfold- ed before the Présidcnt and his par- ty. The President candidly admitted. to be lost in the rush of events set in motion by his death. But the most significant discovery of the Harding fact-finding expedi- tion was not the charm of Alaskan scenery. nor the temperate charact- er of-.its climate. nor even the groundless nature of the assumption that-the census returns of 1930 spell ed Alaskan decadence. The great discovery warthe fallacy of the argument that Alaskan develoumcnt is being thwarted by the con-cryo- tion policies of the National Govern- ment. Item by item. the President showed-in his Seattle report that the resources of Alaska are open to .use on fair terms. ' Most important of all his findings was that relating tothe forest poli- cy. It was in this connection that day which pleasure the President admitted he had been mistaken and definitely aligned him; self with. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. Chief Forester Greely. and the others of the conservationist school. Without reservation the Pre- sident declared against the fleeting" * of Alaska and for the policy of the Forest Service. that permits reason- able utilization of the forests while providing for their perpetuation. i think there is hardly any member of the President's party who did not share his thought on this subject.

' At the factory of‘the Malia-y Hat company, it was ssidloday that the straw hat branch of the Mallory business in making very pleasing progress and is already taking on the proportions and activity of a goOd-sised industry.

Nov. 154- In the course of an address on Con. ditions in Europe delivered before Wesleyan University this evening. Mr. Otto H. Kuhn of the firm of Kuhn Loeb & Company. New York. said in part: In the course of the Journey from which I have just returned.. I visit- cd‘ England. France. Italy; Austria and Hungary.. I talked with Prime Ministers Baldwin, Mussolini. Poin- care and General Smuts. with Mr. Ramsay MacDonald and other lead- crs of the Labor party in England. with the Austrian Chancellor. Mon- signq; Scipel. with the. Hungarian: Regent. Admiral Horthy. and with numerous other men eminent in public. industrial or financial affairs. On the whole my impression is that. however distressing and alarm. ing. in some respects. is the present state of affairs.,the forces tlfht make for accord and settlement are slow. ly gaining ascendency. -It is a satisfaction to know. and it has been greeted with acclaim and roll r and hope by rightminded peo- ple‘ throughout Europe. that the American Government has consented to join in an international confer- ence in connection with the question of German reparation. Nothwithstanding the fact that the attitude of the French Govern- ment has for the time being. in the Judgment of our Government. frus- trated the conference as propose-i. that need not mean that action on the lines of this auspicious plan is definitely abandoned. 4 The moral weight which Zuro pean public opinion everywhere will attic to any clear pronouncement of ti; United States can hardly be exaggerated. Our disinterestedness and well-meaningness are recognized in all countries. Whatever may have been the feeling at an earlier ave been the expectations aroused n the course of the peace conference. whatever may be the hope for future develop- ments I am convinced that what ,the great bulk of the European nations preeminently seek from us at pres- ent is less financial favors than mor- e; aid.

Italy. To anyone who knew Italy but a short eighteen months ago. with its constant stirltes, its class animosi- ties. its political confusiod‘and so- cial tremors. the change which has come over the country is almost un- believable. The credit belongs to. a great man. beloved and revered in his on country and much mlsun. derstood abroad. a self-made man if ever there was one. setting out with nothing but the force of his brain and character and the order of his patriotism.

Mussolini menus to have Italy con- tented. prosperous and progressive at home. respected abroad, and ac- corded that position among the great nations to which the intrinsic qua- lities ’of her people and the glory of her past entitle her. He is far too wise and rightmlnd‘ed a mun felt-ad his people into hazardous foreign adventures. but he is determined that the long~prevaiiing practice un- der which at. the table of the Great Powers Italy was to be “seen. but now heard." shall cease. . Both the poople and the Govern- ment are.particulerly desired; for close and actlvfie co-opcration with the United Stiles. I feel certain that American capital invested in Italy will find safety. encouragement.- op- portunity and reward. ' Austria. . This gifted and sympathetic poo. pic. which the stupidity, feebleneas and wrong-doing of an unfit gov- ernment dragged into a wanton and calamitous war. has regained the good will of the worldand. after having passed for four years throu a formidable ordeal of sorrow and suffering. is now well on the rifld to recovery. The example of the spirit and con- duct of the Government and people of Austria. and of the benefits which resulted therefrom. may well be ap- plied to or contrasted with. the case of Germany. . ' 0n the other hand. the rapid and gratifying recovery of Austria may well be held up as an object lesson to he Continental Allied nations to ind cats how quickly and surely the distemper and suffering of Europe could be cured and normal condi- tions ro-establlshed‘if-the same slin- ple remedypvas used a was applied to Austria. i.e.. goodwill. helpfulness and constructive control. . America. . ‘ A journey in Europe leaves one with a. vivid impression in respect of our own country. That is, a. rec- ognition of the immense power for good which. without undue entan- glement. is open to the United tee to exercise in. the affairs of the world. of the appealing faith with which many nations turn their faces towards us. and of that moral responsibility which ‘goes with good fortune and power. ._—.___..___ The Lawmaking mm._ Uncle Sam is afflicted with. the lawmaking disease. ‘His case is the‘ worst in the history of the world.

The American Nature association’s drive to preserve the American eagle from exit-igloo in Alaska deserves to succeed. The warfare spins! the bird. which. the association estimat- es .h' resulted in the slaughter of 26.000 in six years ought to reuse in time-to guarantee the preservation of the species in what must be its last stronghold under the Amerw flag.
