OUR MERCHANT
MARINE INCREASE
(New York American.)
i)y adding 620,ouu tons to Us mer
chant marine tonnage In the last tlscai
year, the United States can now boast
a total of some 6,900,000 tons, equal to
a glorious twelve per cent of the world’s
aggregate of nearly 50,000,000 tons
v> Idle this country, the only important
■.me at peace, managed to eke out an
increase by adding ships owned uhdei
foreign flags by American capital be
fore the war by virtue of last August’s
ship registry act, war racked England
added over 226,000 tons to a present
aggregate of 21,276,000 tons.
From June 30, 1914, to July 1 last
only 175,000 tons were gained by the
world's merchant shipping fleets
against an average increase for ten
year of 1,300,000 tons.
In sundry august assemblages since
war was declared. American orators
nave dwelt feelingly on our great op
portunities for foreign trade expansion
Our legislators, however, saw fit to
parley over principles and what not
instead of adopting means to get ships
•and shipB, without which our salable
goods must of necessity accumulate at
the seaboard to await the end of the j
war. Then England and Germany will
carry our exports for us and we wili j
pioceed to cut down our splendid trade I
balance by the demand paid foreign
shipping companies for freight charges
.Mayhap the day will come when sta
tistics like the above will chide tht
1 overs that be Into real action.
PEACE TERMS.
(iiotiton levelling Itticord.J
Peace is nut close enough to worry
uoout, but the belligerents do nut lei
uiat interfere with discussion of terms
* ue German terms have been stated,
.’-ow England’s possible terms are in
timated by a ‘ high oiliciai:” Kestoru- '
i.on of Belgium, security for France '
against aggression, rights for existence
oi small nations, and overthrow of tht
Prussian military machine. It is addeu
that anything done must be in concert '
with England’s allies and no separate
peace would be entertained by any na- '
tlon. But Just now neither side appears
to be In a condition to dictate terms. 1

FAIRBANKS OBJECTS. 1
(News-Miner.)
Some three years ago the sentiment
of Fairanks was that this town hold a
semi-centennial exposition in 1917, tc
telerate the purchase of Alaska fifty
years before that time. The sentiment \
has never changed, despite the outside
influences that have stacked up ugainst
it. The men of this town have organ
ised a corporation to handle such ex- 1
position. Stationary advertising of
such exposition has been circulated
broadcast, and every city and town in
Alaska is content to have that expo
sition In Fairbanks, and it is going to be
held right hero in Fairbanks, in 1917
It will be the best exposition of Alaska (
—-the real Alaska—that we can put up
It may not be so great as the Seattle
Alaska exposition. It will not be sc
great as the San Francisco exposition *
llut such ns It is or such as we are able 1
to make it, it will bo ours, and truly
Alaskan. Any attempt to split our ex- 1
position up into small bits, with Seat- f
tie as the central show and sideshows
all along the road to attract tourists
who might be sent here doesn't fit with
the sentiment of Fairanks. All the re
sources of Alaska combined in such
exhibit as those other resources have
ever been gotten together in will be
non© too great to distinguish one Fair
banks exposition.
A POLICY OF ACTION.
(Fairbanks Alaska-Cltizen.)
A signal advantage of the plan ol
concerted action In Mexican by the Uni
ted States and six leading southern re
publics is that it relieves our govern
ment of the chary o weakness in deal
ing with the M< am problem.
The only merit ! llio president's pol
icy is that It ha. hoot us out of war
with Mexico, but it Is marred by the
V era Cruz fiasco, in which we went tc
the cost of labor of sending an army
into Vera Cruz and withdrawing It
without accomplishing anything ol
permanent value. We should either
have stayed out or gone farther and
settled the trouble.
Now we nave a definite policy ol
lotion with a ralr hope of solving the
problem without danger of arraying al
South and Central America against ut
is a possible aggressor. We have the
:u-operation of our neighbors to cur
ihe Mexican disorder, which is a men
tee to the continent.
There is an ardent desire on the part
jf sane Americans that the peaceful
nelhods attempted by the conference
snail succeed. We do not want war
vVc cannot spare the money or the men
lecessary to pacify Mexico by force
lut we should muke up our minds thai
ve must persist either by peacefu
nethods or by force until a settlement
s gained. The administration cannot
(fiord to draw back now short of fina
idjustment. It would be fatal both
ripin the standpoint of politics and thi
public welfare. Both combine In urg
ing action which will result in success
MOVES AS ONE MAN.
(Seattle Star.)
Anyhow, you have to admire German
nilitarlsm for being right on the spot
ind for the ease with which it makes
(very German a part of Its business ol
var.
The latest in point is the taking con
rol of the textile industries by the
-rmy authorities. These authorities
leeding cotton for explosives, have
imply ordered the factories not to pul
otfon into goods approaching the char
cter of luxuries, and the same action
* to be taken as to wool, flax and hemp
Germany is surely giving the world
demonstration of perfect national uni
y, if nothing else.
LOOK AHEAD.
(Cordova Daily Alaskan.)
It is time for Alaskans to lake a long
[>ok ahead.
The day when it was proper for a
nan to rush into the territory with a
hovel and pan, wash out a pocket full
f gold and depart to other climes tc
pend it, is past.
Alaska must henceforth be made a
and of permanent industries and per
nanent homes.
•Here where the wealth is found let it
>e spent.
Manufacturing and agricultural de
velopment should be made the order ol
ho day and every possible encourage
nent given to the homo producer.
