FOREST ROAD FI NDS SHOII.D NOT HE DIVERTED.
(From Juneau Empire)
The provisions of the latest Curry bill on Alaska, making it possible
to divert elsewhere funds appropriated by Congress to National Forest
areas for their development, are, of course, highly objectionable to all
of Southeastern Alaska and to those portions of the Third Division in
which is situated the Chugach National Forest. Upon tie development
of the Forest areas these sections are dependent for their future in a
very large measure. In no other way can any of the cost of road con
struction be assessed against the Forests nor is the Federal Government
likely to make any other provision than that which has already been made.
To argue that certain other sections of Alaska needs roads more
than do the Forest areas is to beg the question. Even if one should
admit that such is the case, which is not bein;.; done. or,e should not
reason from tiat promise to th? conclusion that r.-ad fun possessed by
the latter should be taken away from it and given to the former. The
relative needs of the several natural geographic and economic divisions
of the Territory have not the slightest bearing on the question of where
the Forest Fund shall be expended. That fund was alloted to certain
areas in Alaska not because they happened to be a part of the Territory
but by reason of the fact that they comprise within them National Forest
ureas. It is just as reasonable to say that certain parts of Alaska need
roads more than do the Forest areas of Washington, Oregon, or of any
other state, therefore part o fthe money alloted for them shall be given
to those sections of Alaska. The resulting injustice from such a sup
positious procedure would be no greater than that which will inevitably
follow the enactment of the legislation proposed by Mr. Curry.
The matter of who shall do the actual road building is not greatly
of concern to Alaskans as long as roads are built efficiently. For the
Pftst several years there has been a general system of co-operative road
construction that has worked out pretty satisfactorily to all concerned.
If it is desired to .consolidate all agencies into one, it is reasonable to
believe that something in the way of efficiency would result and some
loss of motion eliminated. But in such consolidation the control of the
Forest Fund should not be lost to the Forest Service, at least such con
trol as bestows on it the right to say where the money shall be expended
and approximately how much. The system is not an unnatural one.
The Forest Service is charged with the responsibility of developing the
National Forests. Thut development depends to a great degree on means
of communication and transportation and those in charge of the Forests
should not be dependent upon any independent organization for them.
THK WEEKS IDEA
Secretary of War John Wingate Weeks is eminently right in his
statement that should the United States ever become involved in another
great war the entire nation should be drafted into service—industry,
finance, transportation, resources and men. It may be but a pious hope
that such an eventuality may never arise; it is the part of common sense
that provision .be made for putting the Weeks proposal into effect.
The World War taught us that a cloud on the horizon the size of
a man's hand may grow to o'erspread the sky and envelop the world in
a hurricane of death and devastation. Whoever dreamed that the
assassination of a booby princeling in Lower Bosnia would transform the
globe into an explosive bomb? No nation save Germany appeared to
realise the magnitude which the storm might assume—the interests of
nations, the violation of which would force them into the fray to resent
outraged sovereignty. And because of Germany's realization she was
mobilized at the outset from seamstress to factory, from peasant’s stock
ing to Heichsbank, from “K.P." to von Hindenberg. That was the
secret of her strength—the chief reason why it required the combined
efforts of a score of nations to overcome the Central Powers.
If the Weeks program were carried out in its entirety—if we were
prepared as the Secretary would have us prepared—it is extremely doubt
ful if any nation or group of nations would precipitately rush into war
with the United States. A population of 100.000.000. wealth exceeding
$500,000,000,000, industries the most varied and efficient in the world,
resources without compare, and every unit ready at a day’s notice to drop
into its proper slot and function at maximum efficiency for the national
safety, would make any enemy think twice before tackling us and would
in the highest degree carry out Washington's dictum, "To be prepared for
war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace."
Nor would the Weeks proposal compel the upkeep of vast naval
armament and armed legions of land forces. It would, indeed, have an
opposite tendency. If we could construct a mechanism whereby the
nation, like clockwork, could mobilize at the first, alarm, the number of
men kept permanently unproductive in the standing forces would not
have to be burdensome. That the Secretary of War is working cautiously
toward the end he advocates appears probable from the encouragement
which is being given to training rimps. State militia, school drills, the
preparation of industrial maps, statistics on railroad facilities, water trans
portation, factory output, and many other matters pertinent to those who
appreciate that in modern warfare the combat units are counries and not
It was toward the close of the war that Weeks, as 11. S. Senator,
endeavored to pat through Congress a large-scale program of preparation
for peace, through an agency known as the Joint Committee on Reconstruc- 1
tion. This was balked by Wilson. Now, as Secretory of War ue is
found striving to give effectiveness to Washington’s admonition. He
Will have the support of President Harding, and should have the support

idealism.—Exchange.
