TROUBLE IN MANCHURIA
If the United States had been granted the light t<
build a railroad in Canada, erect manufacturing plants
direct capital to making the soil tenable and fruitful, am
then, as is the case in China, roving bands oil bandits Jbe
gan destroying property and committing other depreda
tions, the first action would be to call upon the Dominioi
government to maintain order.
In the event of the government being incapable o
this function, or refusing to recognize these treaty rights
it would be encumbent upon the United States to tak<
steps to safeguard its investments and the lives of th<
people engaged therein.
That appears to be about the simplest illustratior
which can be drawn from the Sino-Japanese embroglio.
Japan is simply attempting to do that which Chin;
appears incapable of doing under the chaotic state pre
vailing in the latter nation.
It is falacious to attempt to read into the record ar
intent to annex Manchuria and deprive China of hei
sovereign rights, altho this is what China attempts to se
up as a reason for interference by the League of Nations
It would be as justifiable for Chicago to refuse t<
curb its racketeers, or in failing, refuse to allow the State
or Federal government to do it as it wPuld be for Chind
to refuse to stand by and recognize treaties made witl
Japan.
The United States naturally sympathizes with China
it being a republic, but the element of justice also prevails
Republic or kingdom, this element serves to fix the stand
ard by which national comity is gauged.
Either Japan must sit by and see millions of capita
destroyed at will by an ungovernable mob or take propel
means to safeguard its capital and the lives of both Chin
ese and Japanese who have found peace and progress ir
Manchuria.
The fact that Washington has refused to be stam
peded into snap judgment, and fully appreciates the sit
uation, indicates that it is willing to give Japan an op
portunity to set Manchuria in order by the best means
available. As the Chinese apparently have not made a
success with their newT freedom, the matter of republic
or emperor is submerged under the more important ques
tion of law’ and order.

A WINTER PLAYGROUND
For years The Gateway has been advocating Alaska
as a winter playground for North America instead oJ
Switzerland. Of course, Americans won’t get “gyped’
so bad in the North, so that might be a drawback to tjhc
suggestion.
But anyway, Alaska is unexcelled for the advantage!
it offers in the way of long toboggan slides, skiing
courses, skating, mountain climbing and just ordinary
hiking.
Now for another “shot in the arm.” Let’s all hop*
that Alaska will one day be known as the gay, white-wa?
playground of America.
Alaskans are neither soft nor egotists but just rea
men whose forebears, undoubtedly, were the red-bloode
Westerners who pioneered when law£ were made by vi
rile men; and justice was really justice.
One line of Verdi describes Alaska’s need: “Brin
me men to match my mountains.”

The Gateway is informed by news
agencies that a proposal has been
made by officials of the Rome-New
York Chamber of Commerce (what
ever that is), to trade a certain part
of the Panhandle of Alaska, South
eastern Alaska, to Canada for some
area south of the St. Lawrence wa
terway.
However, no immediate deal ap
pears probable as it is contended
that the Panhandle of Alaska is
too valuable to be given away for
anything less than the whole of
Canada.
Incidentally, the Ketchikan
Chronicle is said to have quoted
Ketchikan business men that there
is no immediate need for any con
cern whatsoever as “it has already
been planned to give the country
back to the Indians because of the
low price of fish.”
What do you know about that?
