CONSTRUCTIVE STATESMANSHIP
While it is too early to predict definitely what ef
fect the Hoover moratorium may have on the world s
economic situation and particularly on a return of pros- j
perity to the United States, it seems safe to say that |
its general results will be beneficial all around.
It is noticed in recent comments in the States that
many anti-Hoover papers have taken the President to
task for sponsoring such assistance; that behind it all
is hidden political significance. This we do not believe.
Without some such agreement as propounded by
our President it appeared inevitable that Germany
would be forced to take advantage of the Young plan
whereby she could suspend reparations payments in or
der to prevent an economic collapse by voluntarily
granting to Germany a year’s respite from the heavy
burden imposed upon her, the other nations, with the
exception of France at this writing, are making a ges
ture of good will far more important than is represent
ed by the amount of money involved.
It is encouraging to note that leaders of both politi
cal parties in the United States, with the exception of a
few" narrowminded politicians, endorsed the President’s
plan as a piece of constructive statesmanship.
Many believe that this will mark the real turning
point of the depression, and that steady, if slow, recov
ery from the long period of deflation may be confidently
expected.
A NEW GARBAGE DUMP
Talleyrand declares that language was made to con
ceal thought; but many local residents let loose an
opaque verbal flood each time, especially when the wind
the wind is blowing from the South, and they pass the
railroad crossing onto the radio station road.
It can’t be a dead animal nor is it the well known
smell from the tide flats; rather, it is the foul odor from
garbage which filters through the otherwise sweet Res
urrection Bay ozone, which often almost gags one as
they walk, or whiz by in their autos.
In any case, whomever is responsible for using that
particularly spot for a garbage dump could probably
get a little closer to a regular traffic lane if that is their
desire. . #
Proper authorities should at once investigate this
matter and put a halt to such practice, detrimental to
not only health but to the local landscape.
If the money of the w^orld is in the hands of but
a few, which in* turn is one of the reasons for the pres
ent panic, so. they say, but which we do not believe, why
doesn’t these colossus of wealth spread some of it
around? They can’t take it with them for gold melts
at a certain temperature and currency is not printed on
asbestos paper.

Few teai^s will be shed over the Wickersham Com
mission which went out of official existence the fir^t of
this month because Congress failed to make an appro
priation for its continuance. Like most government
commissions and special committees, it spent a lot of
the public’s money and accomplished exactly nothing.

Sir Hubert Wilkins, explorer, is quoted as saying:
“If we are 50 per cent successful, the submarine Arctic
expedition will have been worth while.’, But if the
Nautilus gets only 50 per cent of the way back home
we fail to see where the worthwhileness would come in.

SEN. NORBECK ENJOYED
BRIEF VISIT IN SEINIRD
During the brief period the SS
i Admiral Watson was in port Tues
day evening, Senator Norbeck of
South Dakota was taken over the
Seward-Lake Kenai Highway by
Leon Urbach, president of the
Seward Chamber of Commerce.
The Senator was very pleased with
the opportunity to view local
scenes and gather first-hand in
formation regarding this section.
Particularly was he interested in
the “Missing Link” road, between
the end of the local highway and
the Moose Pass system.
The Senator continued on to
Kodiak on the Admiral liner where
he will probably transfer to the
| Bureau of Fisheries vessel Brant
| or the Penguin, the latter vessel |
j being the one on which the Paul
jRedington party of Congressmen
! are enroute to this city.
