PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
There is much to lie learned from the message of
President Wilson delivered yesterday to the joint session
of Congress. Plain in its language, forciful in its de
mands, there is nothing that cannot be understood by the
American and the pro-German. Pi -vdent Wilson never
minces his words: never beats around the bush, but hits
straight out and to the mark.
“We must declare war against Austria-Hungary
means jusi what the President infers and Congress will
give him the authority. There is something behind this
declaration of war with Austria-Hungary; something
still unknown to the public. This demand comes as sud
denly as did the demand for the declaration of war against
Germany. The President knew weeks before the public j
did why he wanted war declared against Germany. At i
that time there were all sorts of critics demanding the
whvs a; d the fors hut the President knew and after war
•r
had been declared the public knew what it wanted and!
Americans decided the President was right. President!
Wits n\ has alwavs been right so far in the conduct of the!
United States on foreign matters. His present request j
will he granted and it is intimated that a war declaration
\\ ill he made possibly this week.
“War against Austria, although not her own mistress
hut a German Vassal.” There is a meaning there, a mean
ing that Emperor Charles does not want war, that the
people of Austria do not want war, hut they are only
“German vassals” or slaves, as it might he termed.
Then again there is a new meaning in another part of;
Pi esident Wilson’s utterances. “When Germany recedes
from the invaded region" and “peace will come when rep
aration has been made for the destruction wrought” are
two ideas that have l>een a vague policy but abandonment'
<>f invaded territory and reparation are now plainly set
forth.
The message, brief as was received in the press dis
patches to the Gateway, indicates that it is as the London
'Times says, "A message to the people of the United States
a message to all the world.”
If the Arctic Brotherhood, in the drive for the new
members, will accomplish the aim, i. e., a suitable club
rooms for the entertainment of citizens and guests, noth
ing better could lie advanced. The Arctic Brotherhood;
in other cities in Alaska have club rooms which are the j
nieeca of Alaskans. Seward has no real entertainment
place suitable for large affairs and at the same time fitted
properly. Here’s to each team and may they both win
and by the results of the first day’s drive, both captains
and associates are out to secure the banquet.
-
Red Cross activity is not so slow in Seward. One'
hundred and ten dollars raised for the gifts for soldiers!
and sailors and two hundred and thirty-two dollars at the
Red Cross dance indicates the direction of patriotism in
this city.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—A “Gen-|
eral Stuff for Industry,” to coordin
ate and direct along broad lines all
American industrial and business ac
tivities, is urged by the Chamber oft
Commerce of the United States to de-|
feat the German centralized war ma-j
chine.
No modern nation would attempt to
conduct military operations without ai
general staff to plan its great strate
egic movements far in advance and
enlist all its military strength. So,j
in the opinion of the Chamber of
Commerce, an industrial general staff
is needed to develop far into the fu-1
ture definite plans using every ounce
of industrial strength of the country.
“You will see this General Staff for
Industry is needed at this very mom
ent,” declared Waddill Catchings,
chairman of the committee for co-op
eration with the council of national
defense, “if you consider that one-fifth
of the total industrial energy of the
United States must be immediately
turned to war work to carry out the
program already laid down.
“The nation’s annual business turn
over is certainly not more than eighty
billions, probably less, but the gov
ernment’s war appropriations are al
ready more than nineteen billions. The
diversion of labor for war purposes js
even greater, for in addition to those j
shifted to war work a million menj
have gone into the army and navy, i
“This means there must be a whole
sale reorganization of American in
dustry and commerce. It means in
concrete terms that the energy, cap
ital and labor, which in the past have
gone into the making und selling of
things not essential for the war and
for civil efficiency, must be converted
to war purposes.
“We should have a general staff for
Industry which can foresee these nec
essary changes far in advance and
plan so that all existing equipments
and plants shall be utilized and the
workers retained in the communities
where they have been living.
“The character of industrial activ-i
ity must be completely altered to ]
meet the war needs, but the 'ndustrialj
structure must be preserved as near
lv intact as possible.
“Let me give a homely illustration.
Here is a man in Wisconsin manufac
turing bathtubs, almost a necessity
in peace times but a nonessential in

bathtubs; they wouldn’t be sold and
besides sooner or later the priority
board or the fuel administration will
cut off his supply of fuel and iron and
divert them to war work.

to some war factory, thus disrupting
all the business and social life of the

bathtub plant could best be used for
