RUSSIA AND REALISM"
Returning from a trip
to Russia, during which he
travelled more than 10,000
miles in Russia itself, Eric
Johnston, president of the
United States Chamber of:
Commerce, had some very
pertinent remarks to make
concerning our future rela
tionships with the Soviet
Union.
.. . 5 . * \ i • *
Among things of partic
ular interest to Alaska was
his prediction that the
chief expansion of Russia
in post-war days would be
in Siberia which he said
would almost certainly
bring much business to the
ports if the Puget Sound
area and might result in
the industrialization of
Alaska. That is a logical
possibility which people of
vision cannot fail to recog
nize.
“A great migration is al
ready in progress from
Russia proper to Siberia/’
he said, “and there are al
ready cities there with
more than half a million
population, of which most
of the rest of the world
has never heard. There are
even some with more than
a million.”
We have long been
preaching a realistic ap
proach to the Russia of to
day and tomorrow. We do
not believe this nation to
be in any greater danger of
embracing the Russian
theory of government and
economy through doing
busness with the nation
than we were of changing
our system of government
because we did business
with Russia under a des
potic czar.
In support of dealing
with Russia on the basis of
Russian understanding,
Johnston said
“Russia seems primarily
interested in developing
internally after the war,
not eternally and that’s the
reason why we shouldn’t
have any difficulty doing
business together. Rut we
have to remember one
thing—there isn’t any Pol
lyanna in Stalin. He’s in
terested in only one thing—
the welfare and prosperity
of Russia.
“To get along with him,
we must be similarly de
voted to the welfare and
prosperity of the only lan
guage the Russians under
stand.—(Alaska Weekly).

10 YEARS AGO TODAY
The emergency fire equipment)
being placed in operation to be
used this winter is now complete.
Through the efforts of the Ham
mond Consolidated Gold Fields,
pumping apparatus and 3,000 fed*
of mains have been installed and
hooked to the old mains.

Biggs, former governor of the
Territory.
ATG EVENTS
For the past three weeks drills
have taken a new slant for the
Alaska Territorial Guard drilling
in the Nome High School Gym.
First Lieutenant Urban L.
Francis, of the, Nome Garrison
has been instructing the troops in
bayonet drill, while six-foot,
three, S. Sgt. J. . Lash, also of
the Nome Garrison, shows his
knowledge of Judo.
A knowledge of this technique,
the principles of which are dem
onstrated on guard members, will
enable a smaller and lighter man
to easily overcome the superior
ity of greater weight and strength
in an opponent.
Lt. Francis and Sgt. Lash spend
an hour each Tuesday evening
with the men of the ATG at
their regular weekly drill hour.
Much benefit is derived by tihe
men from this training, and both
instructors have commented on
how eager the men are to become
efficient ATG members.
All members are cordially in
vited to take advantage of this
unusual opportunity.
