WHY NOT FRACICE IT AT HOME?
Richard Washburn Child, writing on the subject
of contrasting psychologies of Europe and the United
States, makes these observatons:
“The first (policy) is one which distinguishes
from ail the older civilizations, for it is that of social
and economic development accompanied by the least
possible political of governmental initiative, interfer
ence or paternalism. The great enterprises of most other
civilizations—including those of conquest, war, agricul
ture and industry—have required governmental sover
eign paternalism. For the first time in history the
United States in a large way has proved that the great
er success and greater unity and peace and equity are
developed by private enterprise. . .and also, converse
ly, that bureaucracy and inefficiency and indeed, con
flict itself appears to be inherent in political govern
ment of the affairs of men.”
And yet any effort to live up to Mr. Child’s clear
out analysis of contrasting psychologies, in its applica-1
tion to an Amercan dependency, like Alaska, meets
with adamant objections in Washington.
It will be recalled that President Hoover gave ex
pression to the same thought, when he arraigned bur
eaucracy, differing only in taking a direct cut rather
than employing the diplomatic language to which the
former ambassador is accustomed.
Mr. Child seeks t opoint a way for world peace by
an adjustment of the physic focal points of Europe and
the United States.
If Alaska was properly represented in Washing
ton, by a man whose vision transcended the back-alley
politics characteristic of small-town psychology, the en- :
tire matter of emancipation of Alaska from bureaucrat-1
ic control could have been adjusted within the past de
cade.. Until Alaska can be presented in Washington in \
a guise by men as large as the subject matter, there is
little hope for a change.
There is no denying that the rank and file of people j.
of the Territory coincide with the viewpoint, yet it is
never presented either in a form or a nemphasis calcu
lated to impress Congress that the people really desire ji
it. What Alaska wishes is a reversion to those usages
and customs of which Mr. Child speaks so eloquently. |
Although those sockless senators from the corn
belt may holler their heads off we hope the esprit de I
corps still maintains among the embassy bunch. Us for-!
eigneis in the land of the free and the home of the
knave are the' only ones who can take a drink when we
want to.

makes it comparatively safe from bureaucracy.

Ilf NEED OF SHORT
TIL ID BRIDGE
Now that Downey & Babcock |
have made a real gold mine of
their ground down in Nuka Bay
and are producing gold bricks,
! they feel as if they might sug
| Rest to the Alaska Road Commis
! sion, that consideration be giv.
jen their needs in the matter of
a mile-long trail and a short
bridge, leading from the beach
to their property.
For four years now Downey
& Babcock have put unceasing!
. work—personal—into the devel- '
j opment of their wonderfully rich
: quartz mine and, until they pur
chased “old dobbin’’ a couple of
years ago, perforce packed every
thing up on their backs. When
the horse was taken down this
! labor was relieved to a large ex
tent but even so it is difficult, at
the best, to continue on indefi- |
nitely under the present handicap. :
And to the end that an inex-;
pensive trail and a rough bridge
be put in for them, they ask \
the support of local people. In I
all likelihood, ffhe Seward Cham
ber of Commerce will take the
; initiative in the matter.
) Mr- Babcock estimated the trail i
and bridge both could be put in
i for a sum approximating $1,500.1
He also figures that a span about j
30 feet long wil answer the pur
pose as far as the bridge is con- j
cerned: there is ample material
on the spot for the project. j
The trail, as has been said,
would be a mile long and with the
exception of one small grade
which is around 300 feet in
length the entijjp trail would be
almost level.

he killed his wife in San Diego four |
years ago, and had kept silent until ;
