WICKERSHAM TEACHES GEOGRAPHY
In the committee hearing on the House bill designed to prevent
“cruises to nowhere” by foreign ships sailing out of New York, Delegate
Wickersham protested that in its wording it woulfi eliminate Canadian
ships from plying Alaskan waters. Delegate Wickersham also protested
against discrimination against Alaska under the present shipping laws
governing freight.
“These ships sail from Vancouver to Alaska,” said the Delegate.
“Alaskans often go to Vancouver by boat or train from Seattle and
then take ship for Alaska.”
“Is Vancouver in British Columbia?” asked Shipping Board Com
missioner Smith.
“Yes,” said Mr. Wickersham.
Which proves that the hearing was not without merit. Mr. Smith
learned some geography.
If memory serves, it was this same gentleman who at the investi
gation of the wreck of the Titanic, in 1912, asked: “Are airtight com
partments for passengers to take refuge in if the ship sinks?”
An amendment to the House measure would enlarge the powers
of the Shipping Board to permit it to use discretionary powers in re
fusing clearance to ships of all nations where the board considered the
“competition unnecessary.”
Evidently the big mail subsidies are not enough for the shipping
trust.
Back East and in the middle states while they are having cyclones,
blizzards and heavy snowfalls, Alaskans are weeding gardens.
The word “Bolsv^vic” is really a contribution to society. It offers
Congressmen a wc4 by which they express their opinions of each other.
Nome denies that the Pupmobile railroad has applied to the Re
construction Corporation for a loan, to buy a new lead engine and sal
mon with which to feed him
