FAMOUS GERMAN
SAYS ALASKA GOLD
SOLVES PROSLEM
I VON LUCKNER’S AID GIVES PER
SONAL OBSERVATIONS ON
WORLD OUTLOOK
Top-heaviness of industry as ex
pressed in large combinations of
capital i n manufacturing which
have caused them to collapse, too
much sudden prosperity which sent
the people buying beyond their
means, and a general alienation of
the masses from the soil to flock
into the great cities, is the cause
of present conditions in the United
States as they effect the nation
i individually.
This is the opinion of Captain j
| Carl Kircheiss, late officer in the;
; German Imperial Navy, and now
touring the world in the interest of j
science.
science. Captain Kircheiss, who
was the navigating officer on the,
famous German sea raider ‘Seead- j
ler,’ in command of Count von
Luckner, the “Sea Devil,” left Sew- 1
ard for Seattle on the SS Yukon.
“Speaking of the world in its en- j
tirety,” said Captain Kircheiss, |
“there can be no revival until Ger-'
many is allowed to restore herself
economically. It is questionable, if j
given the fullest opportunity, thatj
this can be accomplished without j
a strong governing hand employed j
by men detached from money
making and the many influences
which defeat republican govern
ment. This is why the advance of
Hitlerism is the best thing that
could happen to Germany in a po
litical sense, unless it was the iron
hand of kaiserism.
“The principle trouble with Ger
many after the war was that she
fell into the hands of the Socialists,
who filled the offices with illiterate,
incompetent men, all bent upon
growing rich off the government.
Big industries were able to combine
and eliminate small ones, then the
man who hitherto had been giving
all of his energies to his small bus
iness, became an employee. He kept
one eye on the clock and his work
was listless and disinterested. This
required more executives, which
drew heavily upon the capital ac
count.
“Then came the economic col
lapse. All nations were affected
thereby. The overhead costs of
these big institutions caused them
to topple. Now industry must lan
guish until the small manufacturer
and dealer, taking advantage of
the collapse of big business, emerge
able to continue.
“The Hitler party, just coming
into power, is representative of the
highest ideals of the German peo
pie, as it means divorcing graft
from politics and the establishment
.of a strong government, something
the people cannot endure without.”
Captain Kircheiss does not be
lieve there is a possibility of war
1 between Soviet Russia and Japan
due to the Soviet’s inability to
move an army. “Russia could not
move an army against Poland,”
says Captain Kircheiss, “becaue
she does not have the transporta
tion.
“Japan has 64,000,000 people,
who must be accomodated upon
i an idea of 148,738 square miles.
! Her national existence depends on
j expansion. She cannot produce her
j foodstuffs at home and that is why
she has reached out first and grasp
ed Korea and is now consolidating
her gains in Manchuria.
“Germany is in a like position.
It is necessary to purchase food
stuffs for 25,000,000 of her 62,348,
782 people. Unless Germany is per
mitted to advance she cannot give
this volume of trade to the world.
“Great Britain appears to be dis
integrating and is no longer ruler
of the world as she was before the
World War. Her trade has fallen
off and England no longer occupies
an impregnable position regardless
of her immense navy. Long range
guns, submarines and the airplane
have accomplished this.”
Asked as to the outlook from a
purely detached viewpoint, Captain
Kircheiss said he believed it would
require several years for the United
States to weather the present de
pression.
“First the people must get back
to fundamentals. They may be ex
pressed thus: First, love, which
means the home and children;
then the production of foodstuffs
with which to feed them. Without
employment and money with which
to buy, the people must produce
their own foodstuffs, and this can
be done by returning to the land
and practicing frugalities. Since
the same disintegrating effect on
big industry in the United States
as has effected Germany is in evi
dence, the small business will be
the first to revive, as it appears to
be doing.
“With respect to Alaska, she na
turally feels the effect in the de
pression of the fish market, and
fur. But she is fortunate in having
gold. Speaking of gold, whenever
a German citizen applies to the
consulate at San Francisco for help,
he assists them in securing a little
food, a gold pan, and a few tools
and sends them to the hills. Some
make 50 cents and others range on i
up to $50 per day. This has been a
godsend to thousands of people
who could not get a dollar any oth
er way.”
