SEWARD,ALASKA,SATURDAY,SEPTEMBER!>. 1916
There are members of congress like Gardner of Mas
sachusetts and others who seem to be more favorable to
foreign countries than to the United States. Gardner ac
tually defeats an amendment to the revenue hill which
would have favored United States ports against Canadian
ports for the shipment of Alaska fish to the east. This is
the same Gardner who was recently examined before a
committee of congress to show that he was a stockholder
in a munitions plant, the desire being apparently to prove
that he had legislative influence in a matter in which he
was financially interested. He is a relative ot Senator
Lodge* by marriage or otherwise, and is a chip oi the same
Tory block on which American interests have been behead
ed since the time of the revolution.
It is hard for us to understand up here how any mem
bers of congress can be traitorous enough to try to injure
their own country for the benefit of another. Over and
over again some member of congress has proposed to Jjvc
the “panhandle” of Alaska as a present to Canada, this
would mean giving away the best part of the Alaska coast
and separating Alaska by hundreds of miles further from,
the United States proper. It would give our capital away
and would actually make Alaska about as tar away tftnn
the States as Alaska is from Japan. It would give hun
dreds of miles of coast line where the 1 nited States may
some day have a terrible need for coaling stations, so why
should we wonder now that members of the United States
congress are found who favor a Canadian port tor ship
ping fish from United States waters to l nited States ter
ritory in the east?
A pretty good idea of Seward people's opinions about
Seward will be secured next Monday when the lots in the
Terminal tract are put up for sale. So far as one can see
now the sale will depend on Seward people entirely as
nothing has been heard of outside money coming to make
purchases. It must be remembered that the great major
ity of the local people have lots of their own already and
even houses on their own lots, so that the need lor more
lots is not very great. A previous experience shows that
the demand will not be very feverish, or all signs are false.
The minimum prices to be placed on lots by tne govern
ment must not be too high if many parcels of property are
to l>e disposed of. Does it not seem that way to You?
Be careful, friends, of what you see in print from now
on in the guise of political “news.” An editorial attack is
an open attack against which you can be on guard but the
attack in the “news” column is the insidious one. Be on
the qui vive. By the way, George Grigsby will have a
chance to answer the telegram about the Schofield meet
ing which appears in the Gateway today. The message
was probably sent because Nome people knew Grigsby is
due to speak in Seward. Hurrah! The fun begins.
