TRUE FACTS ABOUT
DISARMAMENT
Disarmament is not ir
itself a matter half so im
portant as the measure of
the disarmament that ma;
result from international ac
tion and the effect of the la
ter policy upon the Unite*.
States!
There is a certain type of
mind which takes an idea
worthy enough in itself, ant
champions it to the completr
exclusion of any and ever'
undesirable result that ma;
frown from the worthy sug
gestion. Such is the case ir
the debate over disarms-/
raent
For instance, were the na
tions of earth to agree at
this time to maintain the str
tus quo in naval constructor
what would be the positior
of the United States?
Information now in posser
sion of the United tSates an
swers that question.
The United States woulc
have a navy more than dou
ble that of Japan tut only
about one-half that of Great
Britain. I
In other words taking the
Japanese navy as a unit the
sea force of the United
States would be represented
by two and that of Great
Britain by four.
Britain and Japan woulc
have a combined navy two
and a half times that of the
United States.
The United States and Jap
an together would have f
force only three-quarters ai
great as that of Great Brit
ain alone. . -
Or, phrasing the situation
in another way, England
this year maintains its “twe
navy” standard. Its sea force
is as large as that ot all sec
ond and third sea nations
combined
These are facts—the facts
upon which the American
people must pass when they
decree disarmament in any
measure.
Shall this country have a
navy second to none or shall
it meekly accept a subordi
nate position on the seas for
all future time?
After the matter has been
threshed out then we can
proceed to take up the ques
tion of disarmament, for the
nation’s decision as to the
part it shall play on the high
seas wil determine how far
it is prepared to go in meet
ing the inspired foreign de
mand for general curtail
ment of naval construction.
—Seattle Times.
THE CITIZENS 5f Nena
na are to be congratulated
upon the enterprise shown
by them in putting the Kan
tishna shortcut trail across.
It is the best stroke of work
done since the town was or
ganized and one that will
prove mutually beneficial to
file town and to the people
of the Kan tishna district
Before the end of another
month all travel between Kc
nana and the rich Kantishut
diggings will go by way o
the new trail and long Ijeforc
winter travel has ceased th<
cost of the trail will have
been saved in reduced trave
ing expenses and lowered
freightage charges.
PEOPLE YOU KNOW j
_ !
George Phelps, the Maga
zine JKing of Seward gets
many interesting letters and
post cards from men and wo-;
men who have lived in Sew
ard. One of these letters is
reproduced below.
U.‘S. F. S. Eider, Kodiak, A
/ Jan. 13,1921
Mr. George Phelps,
Dear George;—
We have been at the above
place for the best part of ?
month undergoing repairs
All finished now and intend
nulling out for Unalaska ir
a day or two. The Pulitzej
left here a few days before
we arrived and of course she
:ook our mail along with hei
so we are surely out of luc)
for reading matter. On oui
way west I intend to try and
ocate her whereabouts. The
weather has surely been
fiered since our arrival here
Sorry that we could not geJ
>ver to Seward to see you all
but as we have a physician
!:o land at the Pribilofs, we
have to hurry back. I sup
wse every one is wonderin'
vhat has become of the Pul
tzer, the mail service is get
ing somewhat ternme. wr
lave not received any mai1 j
it Unalaska since October
md I suppose that now if
mything has happened to
the Pulitzer we will not be
likely to get any all winter.
With kindest regards to you
all.
Yours sincerely,
Arthur H. Mellick
George also received a
:ard from R. J. Meirs, which
lad traveled all of the way
from Singapore to Seward.
7riend Meirs is building a
.•ailroad somewhere in the
icinity of Singapore. He
ays it is the land of perpet
lal summer and B. V. D’s,
vhere you eat, sleep and
U*ink under the continuous
action of an electnc fan. JHe
?ays he has heard that Sew
ird is to become a great in
dustrial center. Sends his j
>est regards to all of his
friends and mentions Hong
Kong as his next stop

NOME RECEIVES MAIL
BY OVERLAND ROUTE
The first mail from the
outside to reach Nome this
winter arrived November
26, says the Nome Nugget.
Thanks to the presence of
the new government rail
road from Seward to the In
terior the shipment reached
Nome weeks ahead of .the
time of arrival of the firs*
overland mtfil. During earl
ier years the first mails over!
the winter trail have usually
reached Nome shortly be
fore the holiday period and
few if any have arrived be
fore mid-December. From
this it will be seen that tty
dispatch arriving reached
the city practically one full
month ahead of the former
time of arrival.
The shipment was not
only the earliest to arrive in
the camp's history bift was
also the heaviest mail that
has come ov6r the winter
trail. Six sacks of first class
natter were contained, in ad
dition to a (considerable quan
tity of second class mail.
The second outside mail to
•each Nome this winter over
the winter trail arrived in
December in charge of Car
rier Pete Curran. The dis
patch was of good size and
contained both first and sec
ond-class matter. Letters
dated as late as October 14,
were included. The dispatch
\lso contained a quantity of
nterior and southern AJas
:a mail.
