WE HAVE THE AMERICAS AND THE
ORIENT.
Secretary Mellon If not at all optimistic over the
outlook in Hu rope, lie believes there is little or no
chance for the settlement or adjustment of debts
owing the United States by the European Nations
until the reparation;' question is satisfactorily ar
ranged and that there Is very little prospect of that.
The situation cannot fail to cause one’s heart to
at he for the people of Europe, living midst ample
resources, with a wealth of the products of labor,
culture and learning, skilled workmen and abundant
facilities with which to work, yet suffering for the^
necessities of life because of the militarism of the|
past and fear of i. yet and the politics, racial rival
ries, jealousies, iratreds and suspicions which prevail.]
Tills .situation presents a rather gloomy outlook
for those in the United States who would expand our
trade relations with those across the Atlantic. Hut
we have another outlook. We have the Americas, the
Orient and the countries on the Pacific, made safe for
commerce by the Four-Power Treaty.
We are told that the Mexican Government will
be te cognized before the end of September. That
will make the American continents, largely unde
veloped, available for all sorts of activities. People
aheady are pouring into the Latin American coun
tries from Europe and American capital is going there
by the millionr. If conditions continue, as Mr. Mellon;
looks for them to, there will be more people from!
Europe and more American capital for development in!
Mexico, Central and South America. If wo cannot get I
an outlet for cur supplier in Europe we can accelerate
our investments in the development of those conn-:
tries and thereby set the millions in Latin America1
to work and give the people that go there something i
to do. Tiiat would make an American market. The,
two-und-a-huif billions that we have already invested
in South America is yielding profits in mnrktes, inter
est and dividends,
Canada and the Orient also offer outlets for Ameri-1
can activity—-to say nothing of home development.'
perhaps tile be t chance fer capital and production of I
them all. Canada already is our beet customer next j
to England. That is due in a measure to the dr-1
cumetance that wo have two-and-a-half billions!
Invested in that country. By eo-operation, investing'
and the exercise of wisdom, the Orient is open for!
nteaturcle. s trade expansion.
Trade and profits always follow wise investing,!
and tlie Americas and the Orient offer unlimited*
opportunities for that tort of wisdom. There is peace!
in the Americas and the Orient and growing under-!
standing. People are beginning to understand, also,!
that lnvetments in development add the amount in-i
vested to the wealth of the counry in which the hi
ve'ment is made and, besides, lncreas the value of
the holdings of those who live there and add to their
opportunities.
ANOTHER HARDING STORY.
Another illumining; Harding story is going the
rounds. This one comes from Wall Street. When
President Harding came into office there was In the
income tax brunch of the public service in New
York a Democrat who had previously lived in Marion,
Ohio, and who knew Editor Harding and the staff of
the Star. lie was a hard worker and his finances
were such that he needed the salary attached to his
ofTice. lie sought to retain his position by working
harder and harder. He became 111 and his physician
told him that ho needed a vacation. lie was afraid
to ask for it fearing that It would be made per
manent. The worry aggravated his condition. HiRt
friends became alarmed and to one of them, a Wall J
Street broker who happened to know President
Harding, he told why lie feared to ask for a leave
of absence. He did not know of the acquaintance
between his Wall Street friend and President Harding,
and was much surprised when lie got a letter,
scratched in long hand on a scrap of paper, which
read:
My Dear Mr. M.:
I hear you ore worrying sick. Quit it. If
you expect to spend a future hour feeling
good and laughing, giving the rest of us
the chance to feel good and laugh along
with you wny, then, if you do. listen: Get
an old suit of clothes, get an old friend,
get a pipe, go a’flshing. The air will blow,
through your thinking apparatus; you will
gi t to hobnobbing with your own soul. You
will enjoy real joy, the kind that builds
you up, keeps you up. And—1 wish 1 could
go with you.
WARREN 0. HARDING.
SILVER MAY HAVE ANOTHER DAY. I
The belief is growing that there will lie a great
demand for silver in Europe whenever people get <
down to the task of putting the monetary affairs of 1
that continent on a sound batis again. The cur
rency of several of the leading Nations over there
has been dc Toyed and that ot others is so thor
oughly discredited that it is believed there will be '
need for a large quantity of metal money. In fact,
r the Circulating currency and indebtedness, bonded and ,
otherwise, of Kurope is so immense that dofibt is |
entertained as to the abiliiy of the limited gold supply
of the world to serve as a satisfactory foundation
to carry the load that would be placed upon it
unless silver should be utilized to a large extent.
The experience during the war when a demand i
for siver in the Orient carried the price of that metal
to about 15 to 1 suggests that silver may again have
a day whenever the work of European rehabilitation
begins in earnest.
George H. Lorimer, editor of the Satur
day Evening Post, returned from abroad,
says Germany will survive regardless of the
present situation and that England and
France will never break.— (Boston News
Bureau.)
Tho Frcnch-Engiiah part of the conclusions Is
hopeful and doubtless true; the German part is also
doubtless true but it would be more hopeful if a
time limit had been set.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, ji., who, believing that all
nun should work, became a newspaperman, has or
ganized a company to publish a daily newspaper at
I.cs Angeles. The paper will he called the Illustrated
Daily News. Vanderbilt subscribed for 96 per cent,
of the stock of the owning company. The remainder
of the stock was subscribed by C. Colton Bingham,
Walter M. Harvey, Edward J. Ralph und Thomas Bell,
all of Eos Angeles.

Necessity of Mining Spirit.
(Anchorage Times.)
Not so very many years ago everyone in Alaska
was a miner. If he was not actively engaged in op
erating or working in a mine, he was out in the
hills looking for a mining project, and if engaged
in any other enterprise, or holding a Government
office, he was investing his surplus, usually, in some
mining enterprise; cither helping to develop a mine
cr grub-staking a prospector.
Mining, the weath of mines, geological forma
tions and the most favorable localities in which to
prospect provided 90 per cent of the topics of Al
askan conversation. Then the war came along; with
it came other activities; the old trained prospector
had died off, made a stake, or allowed himself to be
talked out of his vocation and as a result mining
interest in Alaska began to wane.
The people of the United States go in for !
favorite and popular industries. For the past, decade ,
mining has not been popular, regardless of the fact
that statistics prove that practically all our minerals
are being taken out in less nad less quantities yearly. ,
Any one in Alaska who knows conditions appre
ciates the fact that ,Jhe aggregate failures in the
fishing industry exceed in monetary loss the failures
in the mining industry, and yet a dollar lost in min
ing creates more unfavorable comment than ten
dollars loss in fishing. The whole of the United
States nerds a mining revival. Next to agriculture It
is the most important business of the nation. Alaska
is a mining country; its prosperity depends on the
production of mines. „ It has the mineral wealth if
the same is sought out. And bear in mind the fact
that the slowing up bf Alaska's mineral production
is as much psychological as it is, economical.
We should turn back a few pages of Territorial
history and all become miners again.
The Valdez Mining District.
(Valdez Miner.)
If further proof than had already been produced
was requisite to demonstrate that the mining district
adjacent to Valdez is second to none in the Terri
tory, more than sufflcent to remove every doubt lias
been produced during the past few days.
From the mine of E. E. McDonald, at Shoup Bay
conies some of the richest ore ever produced in this1
section, running $5,000 to $6,000 per ton, and re
vealing a character of ore not heretofore known to
exist in this section in commercial quantities, and
lending encouragement to the prospector for further
search for this high grade ore.
From the Itamsay-Rutlierford mine near the Valdez
Glacier, comes a cleanup of 376 ounces of gold j
bullion which was mined, milled and retorted within i
thirty days by three men working under adverse
cnoditions. In addition to the mining and milling
of this ore sufficient ore was blocked out to keep
a crew of four or five men busy for the next two
years.
The results obtained at the two properties above
mentioned can be. with development, undoubtedly dup
licated in a score or more of properties within a dis
tance of ten to twelve miles or Valdez that are today
lying idle because of lack of capital to do the
necessary development work. This capital has been ,
a long time coming but it will come eventually, Tor
resources of this character cannot remain indefinitely
undeveloped.
President Coolidge, who said lie would carry out
late President Harding's policies, will receive as
heritages advocacy of world court, governmental econ
omy, strict enforcement of prohibition, merger of
railway lines, a child labor amendment, examination
of immigrants abroad and passage of a ship subsidy
bill.—(Boston News Bureau.)
