A BUSI NESS FORECAST
(St Louis Republic)
Judge Gary, as the head of the largest industrial corporation in the
world, is in a situation to forecast the future of business from an observation
post as advantageous as that occupied by any business man in the country.
His opinion that business after the war is likely to bo prosperous is. therefore,
v--Viable, and his reasons strongly support the view lie takes.
\ The enormous war Industry of the country will, of course, decline very
tliy after the war. Hut war industry is acting as a huge damper upon a
Itude of peace industries. Wfcir conservation and war repression are ro
,-Siting in the accumulation of immense shortages in goods produced by peace
industries. There will be a tremendous release of new demands when the
hand of war is lifted. Jn every city building projects are now waiting for
the return of peace and the steel that is going into cannon will then go into
skyscrapers. Public improvements and renewals of many kinds that are now
held up will go forward. The automobile trade, the trade in musical instru
ments and in luxuries of all kinds will come back. The man who took Secre
tary McAdoo’s advice and is now wearing "half soles on his pants" will send
his old garments to the nearest charitable organization and buy new.
Abroad there will be the demand for materials with which to rebuild
devastated Europe , and all of the neutrals with whom trade is now all but
dead will be in the market for imported supplies of many kinds. i
It would lie too hopeful to say that there will be no jolt when the change,
comes, but assuredly there is sound reason for thinking that prosperity will,
not end with the war.
OUR CONSTITUTIONAL PRIVILEGE
(Anchorage Times) j
One of the rights given the people by our constitution is that of petition-j
ing congress. This was meant primarily that in cases where our biggest body
cf law makers should intentionally or unintentionally overlook needed legisla
tion that the people could have a means of getting before the country by other^
methods than through their elective representatives. This petitionary right
has been often worked in times gone by, notable instances where the abolition
ists. temperance workers and advocates of woman suffrage.
Here in Alaska our country’s development has been retarded by a
wholly inadequate, tremendously expensive and absolutely’ unsatisfactory sys
tem of transportation both by land and water. No private company or com
panies have come to our relief. Now, therefore, why would it not be a good
thing for us to petition congress, get every one in the territory to sign calling
attention to the fact hat this country’s development is held back by inadequate
steamship lines both by sea and river, and demand that the government come
to our assistance. Such a petition would be bound to receive the attention of
congress.
THREE .VI ENAND THE VISION THEY SAW
(By Bruce Barton.)
In a certain city dwell three men. And by accident of birth* one of
them is a Catholic and one is a Protestant and one is a Jew.
For thirty years tlv*y have engaged in business side by side, and the
Catholic has not dealt with the Protestant; and the Catholic and the Protest
lint have had no dealings with the Jew.
“What is he to me?" each man has said. “He is not of myr faith:1
I will avoid him.” I
So for thirty years they have dwelt together, strangers in a friendly!
world.
Then came the shadow of a fearful war. And out of those three homesl
three -boys went forth alone. Three father s waited heart-worn for the letters'
from over there.
“There are Soldiers of Friendliness over here”, the boys wrote home.
“They bring us chocolate, and motion pictures and baseball, and good lectures: j
and the memory of mother and of God.”
“Help those friendly agencies when you have the chance,” each boyj
wrote lionn-. C inc should

DAVID JANE HILL DEPLORES LEAGUE
OF NATIONS ENTANGLEMENTS
Special to The Nuggi ’ by The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 22—David Jane Mill, former American ambassa
dor to Germany, during the course of an address before the Sons and Dai.ght -
ers of the American Devolution today, declared the conviction that adopt am
®f the proposed plans for tin- League of Nations by the I nited Stat< s "ill
bring this country into a position wich will force it to depart fiom sonu oi
its best loved institutions and will narrow and hamper the broadness and n**
.lorn of the national policies as long as the foreign alliance endures.
Hill asserted the opinion that the American participation in the pro
posed league should be restricted in such manner as to avoid entangling quest
ions with foreign states and not relenquisli the traditional American attitude
toward purely American questions.
