HOW BIG INTERESTS WORK
Miller Freeman, of Seattle, trade journal publisher
of Seattle, San Francisco and New York, is the latest re
cruit to the publicity department of the Forestry Bureau
—and those who are preparing to bite a slice out of Alas
ka’s resources of which Alaskans have been despoiled
after the manner of a conquering nation taking posses
sion of the goods and lands of the vanquished. '
Freeman’s publications include the Pacific Fisherman,
and his latest is the Pacific Pulp and Paper Industry.
His leading contributor in the initial number is B. F.
Heintzelman, official “promoter” of the Forestry Bureau.
It will be recalled that Mr. Heintzelman is the agent
who is negotiating with the paper trust to turn over ten
billion board feet (twenty billion pulpwood feet) of Alas
ka forests for a period of 50 years.
Mr. Heintzelman is doing only what his superiors at
Washigton tell him to do—he is the buffer between the
two influences and the alibi of the bureaucratic conser
vationists and big interests for which conservation was
created.
Twenty billion feet of pulpwood at your own terms
is not a thing to be sneezed at, especially if it permits one
to maintain a grip on what is practically a monopoly of
the paper industry. Hence there is no expediency over
looked by these interests which will aid in getting what
they want. They can well afford to publish periodicals
—or support those already established in order that the
neded propaganda may be disseminated.
Mr. Heintzelman is giving good service to his em
ployers—the bureaucrats. In addition to handling the
promotion end he is not a bad journalist. It is quite pro
per that he should be the chief contributor to the Pacific
Pulp and Paper Industry, which he does with the same
“hand-me-down” Pinchotism for which the Juneau Em
pire and other heretofore discriminating newspapers
have fallen for.
Propaganda is the order of the day in the United
States, hence the shortage of print paper. Every man
with an axe to grind maintains a periodical or magazine. It
is only the daily newspaper that fights back on a shoe
string, or which relies upon the support of the masses for
which it fights to sustain it.
It was pointed out by the Empire that “Canadian in
terests were offering advantageous terms to the big paper
interests to purchase privately owned pulpwood in that
country,” insinuating that the present deal in Southeast
ern Alaska was fraught with difficulties in competition
with privately-owned pulpwood. This means that the in
terests seeking the pulpwood are dictating all of the
terms. Mr. Heintzelman says as much in his announce
ment that he is negotiating the best deal the government
can make under the circumstances. Which means that
whenever the government undertakes such matters it
bungles them.
Now that the Fisheries bureau has a medium of pub
licity in a similar publication, it is only natural that the
Forestry bureau and its allied interests should have the
same. It would not be surprising, after all, if the bu
reaus were compelled to demand that the Pulpwood Bu
reau be established for the purpose of manufacturing
print paper to supply bureaucracy with material for its
rapidly increasing mediums of “education.”
