SOVIET’S LAST CARD.
On February 25 Trotsky. Soviet Minister of War, talked on Genoa
and its possible bloody aftermath. He saw “the scale of fate balancing
over Genoa.” He told the Red soldiers in the greatest review held since
Czardom that communism “may have to face a blow in the spring.”
Which is, of course, the Trotzky way of reiterating his threat of last
autumn that, unless Europe fed Russia, the Red hordes would go west
into Europe and help themselves. '
On February 28th the moving reason for the Trotky threat came
out of Russia. It is that Moscow is beginning to feel the pinch of famine.
Until now it has been a far-off thing, killing peasants and what remains
of the hated bouvgeofse. It has not touched Moscow, the petted Re<i
Army or the Bolshevists themselves, but it is creeping closer.
Moscow has been scouting everywhere for food—into the Ukraine,
^in Kuban, into the Causausus. the back provinces, any and everywhere.
There is little available and when found the local authorities talk of
rebellion if attempts are made to move it. In Russia it is becoming
every man for himself, and every province and village for itself.
In a month the Reds must come lo a decision. They must break
up the Red Army, cease to feed it and use the funds available for its
maintenance in feeding, the cities, or they will face trouble. Their
power rests or. the army and its demoblization will be a crisis in itself.
The Red regime was born in the cities, however, and the Soviets under
stand that the cities can destroy iT.
Just now Bolshevism is in a panic. At last Moscow is giving
the American Relief Association genuine co-operation. The panic grows
as it throws overboard its “Oriental policy" of stimulating Bolshevism
The Soviets must stand or fall by what happens at Genoa They
want a gigantic loan, and it is plain that Trotzky believes the way to get
it is by threats, by blackmail and meanaces. He held that opinion in the
beginning. He need fear no move against Russia. Why should there
be? Communism is pershing of itself.
No wonder the Reds accented the invitation to Genoa before they
Were asked. Genoa is their last big card. With a great loan the
Bolshevists may save themselves for a time, but they cannot save what is
left of their Communism. The experiment has failed, they know it
and the world knows it.
The job of the future is to save Russia from what may come after
the Reds go.—Exchange.
HARDING AT HOME AND WILSON ABROAD.
In presenting to the Senate the treaties agreed upon at the Arma
ment Conference President Harding occupied a position much stronger
than that occupied by President Wilson when he presented the treaty
agreed upon at Versailles,” declares the Republican Publicity Association,
through its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. “Mr. Harding was in
a position to argue that the honor of the country required the ratification
of the treaty. President Wilson and his supporters undertook to make
such a claim in behalf of the treaty of peace with its league of nations
encumberance. but the plea gained no credence anywhere.
“Th difference between the two situations is clear. President
Wilson went to Paris practically alone. He took with him a few subor
dinates, but he neither counseled* with them nor received from them any
suggestions. They were mere clerks carrying information to give him
it called for. Neither directly nor indirectly did he take the advice of
the Senate nor keep the Senate informed as to the steps he was taking.
Moreover, it having been reported that President Wilson intended to
Incorporate in the peace treaty the league of nations covenant, thirty-nine
Members of the Senate notified him in writing and by the adoption of a
resolution that they could not support the treaty with such a provision
in It. With that knowledge before him and before the other nations
represented at Versailles, President Wilson continued in his determination
to interweave the league of nations covenant in the peace treaty in such
a way that the whole must be accepted or rejected. He undertook to
force the Senate to give its sanction to agreements with which the Senate
disagreed.
"No such methods were pursued by President Harding. Instead
of going personally to^the Conference he appointed four of the ablest
men in the United States, two of them Members of the Senate and leaders
of their respective political parties. These four men in constant con
sultation among themselves and with the President and with Members of
the Senate represented the interests and desireB of the United States
government. Moreover, the Senate had already, by adoption of a reso
lution, declared its desire that treaties be made providing for limitation
of armament and settling vexatloufc questions in the Pacific. Thus it
will be seen the President made the treaties with the 'advice* of the]
“In one other respect President Harding's position was much
stronger than that of President Wilson. At the same time that he <
submitted the treaties to the Senate he placed before that body a com-|
plete copy of the minutes of the proceedings by which the terms of tbei
treaties were arrived at. In other words, he placed before the Senate
jail the information in his possession bearing upon the agreements by
which it was proposed the United States should be bound. Not so did
President Wilson. A vast amount of the data pertaining to the Peace
Conference at Versailles was hidden away in what has since been called
the ‘steel boa,' and only in recent weeks have the Senate and the public
been permitted to know a portion of the contents of that box and even
at this late date only such portions as an editor acting under the direc
tion of Mr, Wilson saw fit to mak«- known through the columns of a limited
number of newspapers.
•‘President Wilson proceeded to negotiate a treaty in violation of
both the spirit and the letter of the United States Constitution. President
Harding paid due respect to both.'*
A NEW TERRITORY
The Ketchikan and Juneau people have now taken it upon them
selves to propose another Territory for Uncle Sam. The purpose of the
suggestion is the organization of the First division into a -separate
Territory than that ^ the rest of Alaska.
The argument suggested by Mr. Shoup at the Commercial Club
luncheon in Ketchikan in support, or such division does not appear to us
to be the true reasons for such division. We believe that they see the
handwriting on the wall. The capital of Alaska will in the course of a
very short time be removed from the Fiist division to the Third division.
There would be one relief to the rest of Alaska in the creation of
this Territory out of the First division in that the Fifth division would
probably be considered to be included in the new territory We would
advise the First division not to tie tip too close to the Spirit City for if it
were possible the capital of the now Territory might be shifted to Seattle
Our advice to the Panhandle is to stick with the rest of us. We
have a great State in the making and the making is the development
I following the government railroad. It had better forget the creation
I of a new Territory and come along and share the joys of the great future
I state that we can all make out of this Northland of our with Seward j
as its capital.
When it comes to the matter of fixing the capital of the future
State of Alaska, there is but one logical place for it^and that is Seward, j
Seward is bound to be just about the center of population of the future i
Alaska. It is atjLhe present time more accessible to the greater part of j
Alaska than the present capital, and in the center of a great wealth- j
producing district, in the shape of fish, ore and agricultural products.
The Second, Third and Fourth divisions are beginning to realize
the convenience it would be to them, and they compose the greater part
of Alaska, to have the capital at one of the coast towns in the. Third !
division. The ocean terminal of the government railway being at.
Seward, there is no other place more logical for the capita*.—The Seward
Gateway.

Spit on your hands, get a good hold on the Seward Peninsula
bonds of affiliation, and pull ’em up closer. A chain may be
only as strong as its weakest link. HIT WITHOUT A CHAIN,
THEKE IS NO STRENGTH AT ALL. .Even a ptarmigan and
a timber wolf know there is power in E Pluribus Unuin,
For a long time the different localities of this District have
been backsliding into little hermit villages; there has been a
frightful lack of co-ordination. We have pulled at Congres
sional intluence from every point on the compass, with the re
sult that we haven't gotten anywhere. We have been like
some dog teams we all know of: “Geeing” and “Hawing”
when the command was Straight Ahead.
The NUGGET wants a weekly news letter from every settle
meat in the District. It wants to print your activities, social
and otherwise, and it wants the feelings and expressions of
your community on the big issues confronting us all. It
wants your support by subscription. A larger paper means a
better paper. Buy it; read it, and send us your suggestions
as to how to better it. We would like to be a perfect mirror
of the Peninsula’s thoughts and desires. This will require
teamwork.
Just laying back there in your cabin, grumbling and growl
ing to yourself wont help any. Clear, constructive criticism,
though, when given the light of day may accomplish wonders.
Get together. Appoint someone in your community as cor
respondent and let the World know you haven’t hibernated for
the w’inter. We might suggest that your local school teach
ers be interested in writing up your activities, and we will
make substantial remuneration for their literary labors.
Cet’s show them we are interested in ourselves.
