NOME. ALASKA. MARCH 16, 1915.
IS AMERICA FREE?
The following telegraphic item re
printed from the New York American
of December 17th should noi ,,nly set
every patriotic American to thinking
but also should cause a blush of shame
for that the governmental administra
tion of this great and powerful nation
should so far have forgotten that spiirt
of freedom and independence tot which
the writers of that historic manuscript,
the Declaration of Independence,
fought and died.
"WASHINGTON. t> r. De. 17.
Assurances have been given the
British government lie the Slate De
part mem that Hie hill introduced l>v
Senator Hitchcock to prohibit entirely
the export of munitions of war and
arms and war supplies to belligerent
countries was not fathered h\ the
administration Ambassador Spring
Rice had inquired as to the hill and
American Ambassador Page, in Lon
don, had ulso cabled to ask about It.”
Assurances indeed! Wherein is it
necessary for the Secretary of state of
these United States to assure FlrituIn
or am other country that the gov
erning power is not standing behind
a measure which is perfectly within
the rights of this country to enact into
law, unless this country is fast for
getting the principles of freedom which
are supposed to form the corner stone
of our government'? By every law,
written or otherwise, the United States
lias the right to do ns she pleases
within her own boundaries and if she
chooses ta adopt a measure saying what
she will or will nut export, wherein
does England gain the right to ques
tion the act? Is America free? Tt
certainly looks doubtful if our boasted
freedom is more than a hollow mockery
of that supernal freedom for which our
ancestors fought at least. England in
terferred in our jurisdiction in the Pa
nama canal and gained her point.
\g.tin no sooner had the lawmakers of
Arizona enacted the famous anti-alien
employment law than England entered
i protest of the most decided order
and It Is highly probable that had not
the Supreme court of tint state de
cided against the constitutionality of
ihe law thereby making it Invalid,
England would have turned heaven and
earth to force the government to undo
the work which a soverign state had
done to protect its own people within
its own borders.
The manner in which England forced
tlie present weak-kneed administration
to resign the right to control the Pa
nama canal as it saw fit will long re
main In the memory of the people of
the T'nited States. While this parti
cular instance of the ascendancy of
England did much to open our eyes,
subsequent developments have shown
that this was not an isolated Instance
of the tremendous regard in which the
views of England are held by Wilson
i net Bryan who are assumed to control
our national policies.
Where is it going to stop'.’
England meddles in our internal af
files, dictates wluit we shall do with
our own property, seises our ships
'when destined to neutral ports and
[does in general just about as she
pleases, while returning courteous
answer to our diplomatic protests
which are carefully framed and word
ed so that England may not be offend
ed. All considered. It begins to look
like the T'nited States is fast losing
ber sovereignity when a foreign power
which will be a friend only so long
ns it is politic so to be, can exert an
I influence of such power as to cause oui
■ I ighest executive officers to offer up
i loeies and assurances for what is Le
j ing done within our own borders
