ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, MONDAY, MAY 28, 1917.
LET US OBSERVE MEMORIAL DAY.
Wednesday, May 30, will be Memorial Day—a great day
dedicated by a grateful people to the memory of those brave
heroes who fought and died that this nation might live. We are
now engaged in another great war, this time with a foreign foe.
It is especially fitting, therefore, that this Day be observed by
every center of population in this broad land, to the end that
a spirit of patriotism shall be aroused for the warfare that lies
before us. Let Anchorage observe this day by ceremonies ap
propriate to the solemn occasion. We commend this sugges
tion to the various church organizations, the various civic as
sociations, the various lodge organizations and to the people
generally. And let no time be lost in getting about it, either.
EXTEND THE OLIVE BRANCH.
Calm consideration and deliberate judgment suggest that
it is unprofitable, that it is a waste of time, and that it is an ex
travagant use of energy that might better be employed in con
structive policies, for two towns concerned in the development
of the same country, to be always at each other’s throats, so to
speak, knocking and hammering each other’s present status, as
well as future prospects. The part of wisdom is for these two
towns to be working in complete harmony and perfect accord,
on the theory that what benefits one, will, in a measure at least,
aid the other. The give-and-take policy and reciprocity in the
broadest sense, in our opinion, is the thing to be desired. These
two commercial centers, working hand-in-hand and with all
their combined influence and strength, for constructive schemes
and industries that would stimulate the development of the
entire country tributary to them, and upon which both are de
pendent for future prosperity, would have far-reaching, as well
as most benifieent results.
We have reference to the situation of affairs as between
Seward and Anchorage. It would be far better if these two
towns would get together and cease altogether the bickering
and knocking back and forth, and with this happy end in view,
let Anchorage extend the olive branch in an effort to reach
some amicable working arrangement. We believe that it would
be possible to come to a definite understanding that would
prove beneficial to both places; that would prove of immense
aid in the upbuilding of both communities, and that would
speed the development of the natural resources of this most re
sourceful part of Alaska. It is up to Anchorage to take the in
itiative in this matter, because it is at present the most populous
of the two towns, as well as the junior of the two communi
ties. The stronger should always make the advances, because
it can best afford to be generous.
It is useless to rehash as to which community started the
fight. Let the past be buried, and let us look to the future.
We believe it would be entirely feasible to handle this sit
nation through.committees of equal number from the Chambers
of Commerce of the respective communities. We know whereof
■we speak when we assert that Seward feels kindly toward the
plan. Let us at least make an effort to get together on some
definite working basis, and hereafter work together for the
good of each, and for the development of the tributray country.
Anchorage and Seward, working in complete harmony and ac
cord, would prove a powerful combination and immense bene
fits would flow therefrom.
We commend this suggestion to the serious consideration
of the local Chamber of Commerce and express the hope that at
least a sincere effort be made toward a consummation of such a
plan as is herein proposed, in all good faith.

FOLLOWING SECOND SINKING OF
* BRAZILIAN SHIP, GOVERNMENT ACTS
RIO DE JANP1IRO, May 28.—The committee on foreign
relations in the Brazilian congress Saturday drafted a measure
recommending the cancellation of the decree of neutrality on
'he part of Brazil in the war between Germany and the United
States. The president of Brazil, in a special message to con
gress, declared that the sinking of Brazilian merchantmen by
die German U-boats, obliges the government to take measures
of defense against the submarine menace.
The text of the president’s message follows “I have the
honor today to bring to your knowledge a confirmation of the
information which we have received from the Brazilian lega
tion in Paris concerning the sinking of another Brazilian mer
chantman by a German submarine. The entire nation is
cognizant of the attitude which this government adopted when
Germany announced to all neutrals the establishment of the
submarine blockade. The Brazilian government then formu
lated a protest, and after the sinking of the Brazilian steamer
Parana, broke off diplomatic relations with Germany. Today
the sinking of the second Brazilian steamer without warning,
and this menace continually decreasing our shipping and com
merce, obliges the government to put into practice the meas
ures of defense to be suggested by the high advisors in the na
tional congress. The utilization of German merchantmen in
terned in Brazilian seaports appears urgent to the government.
The idea of confiscation, however, is excluded, this being repug
nant to the spirit of our laws, as well as to the general feeling
of our country.”
