VALUE OF AN AIR BASE
The outlook is bright for the early establishment of
an air base in Seward. This will bring the city into close
touch with many points hitherto reached by the slow pro
cess of water transportation or isolated for many months
by ice and weather conditions.
In addition to supplying this liason the service will
divert to Seward a large volume of business hitherto go
ing to other points because of the lack of contact such as
a local air base will supply.
The most prolific commercial field lies to the West
ward with its many canneries, fur trading posts and gov
ernmental activities demanding rapid communication,
much of which has been diverted to the Interior, entailing
high expense.
Through the airplane, the Westward will be able to
receive fresh eggs, vegetables and fruits which have a tre
mendous influence upon the health and happiness of those
far out on the fringe of civilization. By the same process
medical relief will be available within a few hours instead
of tne weeks and sometimes months that must intervene
before a boat touches at these outlying points. With a
splendid hospital capable of caring for any demand made
upon it, this latter feature of the service will come as a
Godsend in addition to its importance as a commercial as
set to the city.
WHO KNOWS?
Despite the fact that for several weeks what appears
to be war is in progress in Manchuria the man in the street
knows little of either cause or effect—-of why all the mili
tary activities on the part of Japan and who actually
started the row.
Thus far all information has come from three highly
prejudiced sources—China, Japan and Soviet Russia. In
the case of the former two, it is -natural ,that each side
should color its reports to favor its cause. Regarding re
ports emanating from Soviet Russia, one may take them
as piopaganda seeking to fortify the Soviet cause as
against its opponents.
Injected into the affair is the League of Nations.
Among its primary duties is to inform the world of fthe
facts with respect to the beligerents and justify its posi
tion in espousing the cause of the one or other.
This vagueness and failure of those whose duty it is
to prevent war or discipline those who violate the peace
pact, indicates that the same old backdoor tactics of war
makers are masquerading under an alias.
Until evidence is presented by a disinterested source
showing the merits and demerits of the conflicting claims
of China and Japan, the world at large can only wonder
and speculate. And until the situation is made clear in
language understandable by the average man, it is futile
to attempt to form conclusions. Hence such a thing as
world opinion is negated under the subtleties employed by
warmakers for misleading mankind.

SEIM men SCHOOL
HHS TASK BEFORE IT
IN FINANCING GYM
The Seward high school students
| and faculty, being aware that un
: less they themselves took over the
| solving of Seward’s annual gym
| nasium problem this year that they
I would probably be without any
' means of physical expression, form
j ed the Seward High School Athletic j
; Association. This association has j
; taken over the Dreamland Hall and j
| will sponsor athletics in Seward!
; during the winter months.
It is the desire of this organiza- j
tion to subject the gymnasium to j
I various athletic organiaztioiis such j
I as the handball teams, various bas- j
5 ketball t e a m s, indoor baseball
! teams, both men and women, and j
business men’s gymnasium classes.!
Schedules are to be worked out;
, whereby the various athletic ac- J
i tivities will be given a due share !
! of the time and yet not conflict |
! with other schedules,
j Inasmuch as the expense budget
! is somewhat heavy for the means at i
| hand, the expenses, including rent-:
j al for the hall, heat, light, fuel and
j janitor service, the school needs
j the support of everyone in main- ;
I taining the gymnasium. The gym
I nasium is an institution wherein I
the physical characteristics and the i
w7ell-being of children, youths and <
older persons are developed to a |
better extent than w7ould be dos- ;
sible without such.

Owing to the appearance of a
number of red derbies adorning the
top story of Seward youths, Sour
dough Bill is of the opinion that a
“red agitator” has been at work in
Seward. Sourdough Bill today ap
plied to The Gateway to make a
“measly” appropriation so that he
can investigate the cause of this
promiscuous red display. It is also
rumored that the red hat wearers
intend to raise a red flag on the
top of Mount Marathon.
Pete Cook, in charge of the An
chorage Telegraph Office for many
years but who was retired the past
summer, returned today from the
States, a passenger on the 88 Ala
meda. Mr. Cook departs for An
chorage Wednesday.
