NATIONS AND THE NEW YEAR
(Editorial from files of Laurel Outlook, Jan. 10, 1923.)

each other, a case of live and let live, or will they continue their
present policy of "hogging" everything upon which they can lay
their hands?
In America we naturally
Let us glance over the field?
want to build up our merchant marine and extend our foreign
trade. But we do not covet any foreign territory, we want no
"reparations," we seek nothing that can not come to us in a
legitimate manner and with peace and good will toward all men.
That is the traditional policy of this country as handed down
to us from the days of our forefathers.
The seas belong to all people who have an inclination to
traverse them, either for pleasure or for profit, yet England
yearns to control them and thereby monopolize the ocean freight
carrying industry of the world. She does not want to see other
nations carrying cargoes from port to port in their own ves
sels. The sun never sets upon British possessions, yet the
mother country has a watchful eye ever on the alert for new
territory that offers a possibility of future profit.
Germany nurses an animosity toward the British and the
French, especially the latter—that will never die. She but
bides her time, hoping that some day she will be able to "come
back," combine with Russia and Turkey, retrieve the disasters
of her recent defeat and collapse, and wreak vengeance upon
her hated neighbor.
Turkey is bitter toward all Christians, and would like noth
ing better than to put every follower of Christ to the sword.
Soviet Russia plans the overthrow of all regularly estab
lished governments, with the red flag of bolshevism ultimately
waving over all Christendom.
The Japanese eye never closes in its constant watching for
an opportunity to acquire our Pacific possessions and thereby
provide an outlet for her ever increasing population.
Mexico, that hotbed of revolution, is reasonably quiescent
at present, but it is only a question of time when the lid will
fly off again. There is no permanent stability below the Rio
Grande.
Austria is in much the condition of a toad that has been
stepped upon by an elephant. She is in no condition to even
let out a squeak. But some day she, too, will have bitter scores
to settle.
The followers of the prophet are seething with discontent
over British rule in India. Egypt is not satisfied with her
semi-independence, China is divided against herself by internal
wars, Spain and Italy are wondering if it is worth while keep
ing their kings, and most of the lesser nations of the earth
are barking at something or other in order to keep in the "push."
And so it goes. Throughout the earth, with few exceptions,
we find hatred, suspicion, greed, avarice—everything but good
will toward men.
Nineteen twenty-three has a heavy burden to bear with for
eign nations.

To Save Forests
Interior Department Will
Oppose Taking Slice
From Olympic Park.
WASHINGTON.—The department
of the interior will oppose bills pend
ing in congress that would take
56,000 acres for lumbering purposes
out of the great forests of virgin
Douglas fir and Sitk pine in Olympic
National park, Washington, the
emergency conservation committee
announced.
Making public a letter from As
sistant Secretary C. Girard David
son, the committee said the opposi
tion of the department was a rever
sal of its former position. The com
mittee congratulated the depart
ment on its stand "in defense of the
people's property, of which it is the
custodian," but warned conserva
tionists that "the pressure of the
lumber interests is mighty—there is j
a hard fight ahead if the forests of
the Olympic park are to be saved."
The move to carve out 56,000 acres
has been regarded by conservation
groups as only a first step to taking
300,000 acres from the 898,292 acre
park, where trees tower 300 feet and
attain a diameter of 12 feet. Lumber
and sawmill interests contend the

Oppose Changes.
In a letter to Mrs. C. N. Edge,
chairman of the emergency conser
vation committee, Davidson wrote:
"The department is opposed to
any changes in the present bounda
ries of Olympic National park and
will so report to congress at any fu
ture hearings which might be held
on bills now pending.
"In September, hearings on this
subject were held in Olympic park
by the public lands committee of the
house of representatives. I attended
these hearings along with Director
Drury and other representatives of
the National Park service, and in
addition to testifying, we listened at
tentively to the testimony presented
by both proponents and opponents of
the boundary changes.
"Following these hearings, in
company with the chairman of the
public lands subcommittee, we flew
over the park and noted some of the
areas proposed to be eliminated. I
also traversed some of the areas by
automobile and on foot in order to
secure a better view of the giant
trees and the Rain Forest.
"As a result of all this, the depart
ment and the National Park service
reached the conclusion that there
should be no changes in the present
boundaries of Olympic National
park. Before leaving the Northwest,
with the full approval of Secretary
Krug, I indicated our position and
said Xhat at any furfber~hearings on
this subject the department and the
National Park service will recom
mend to congress that no changes
be made in the present boundaries
of the park."
Held Possession.
The committee statement, calling
the Olympic forest "a precious pos
session of every citizen of the United
States," said conservationists every
where had protested against the pro
posed "shameful lumber grab, en
dorsed by The 'National Park serv
ice," and as a result of the demand
of citizens that the forests be pro
tected "from the greedy lumber
operators, the interior department
now has withdrawn its support of
the bills."
Congratulating the department on
its opposition to the bills, the com
mittee said this new stand means
"the department will be leading the
fight for the preservation of the
Olympic forests and will be battling
with conservationists for the integ
rity of the Olympic park, and for
the safety of the whole national park
system, which is so ominously
threatened."

Bacon Once Used for Fuel
In Steamboat Race Up River
ILL. — Bacon,
BEARDSTOWN,
which now decorates the butcher's
display case at such a fancy figure,
v once was used for fuel in a steam
boat race up the Mississippi river.
On April 14, 1848, the skipper of
the Ocean Spray ordered barrel
after barrel of bacon thrown into
the firebox to work up additional
steam in the losing race with the
Hannibal City.
But the bacon wasn't enough, so
the skipper had the "black gang"
stuff the furnaces with turpentine
soaked cordwood.
It was too much for the boilers,
which blew up with "a large loss
of life," according to an account
of the incident in the Quincy (HI.)
Morning Whig.
