SEWARl), ALASKA. FRIDAY. JANUARY 19, 1917
The people of Shushanna have asked the Gateway to
publish a protest in their behalf against the abandonment
of the mail service to that camp and the request is gladly
granted. They were unable to believe at lirst that the
postal authorities could have left them without mail but
the information has been confirmed that the .government
will send no more mail in there. The postotlice people say
that only some thirty people live in the Shushanna district
this winter and that a mail service \\ 01 LD NO 1 1*A\.
With all respect to the postal authorities it might he
said that this is worse than no excuse at all. I he men ot
the Shushanna are trying to develope a new addition to
the domain of Uncle Sam, and trying to develope it under
the most serious difficulties. IT DOES NOT PA\ those
men as a rule to dig and starve that they might incident'
allv add to the wealth of the nation. They are as much
%
employees of the nation as the men who draw salaries in
any governmental department and more than any others
thev are entitled to the benefits of their fine citizenship
* *
and should not be made the victims of a penurious policy.
Up in the Yukon Territory the Uanadian government
gives free transportation on river boats to prospectors
that aid might be rendered to opening up the country, and
is the United States to be thought less enterprising than
the Dominion?
The government should not count the men of Slui
shanna; It should rather take into account the men they
are and the good work they are accomplishing. Give
them their mail by all means, Uncle Sam. \ou owe them
that and more, but certainly nothing less.
Evidently Russia insists on the possession of Con
stantinople as the price of her support of the Allied cause.
How things have changed. Most of us can remember the
time when the chief foreign policy of Great Britain was to
keep Russia from the Golden Horn. We remember the stir
ring old ballad that began: “We don’t want to fight, but,
by .Jingo, if we do,” and ended with the line: “But the
Russians shall not have Constantinople.”
After all, there is only the change of one word dis
cernible in the present policy wihch may be described by
the line: “But the Russians shall sure have Constanti
nople/’ * & £'
