I'm ON PACIFIC ISLES IS GIVEN SETBACK Interior Department Damp ens Spirit Of Would-Be Colonists Wrong Idea Held On Island Fertility By Jnllui C. Kdelsteln (United Preaa Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON (UP) Secretary o( tho Interior Harold Ickea would Juat aa soon have everyone know tnat Canton and Endrbury, the two Pa' - clflc lalanda over which th Amer ican flag recently waa raised, aomethlng lesa than a "Bout paradise." Secretary Ickea would like to ad' viae hie fellow countrymen further that selling the farm In Kansas to buy passage to Canton and Enaer bury In hope of settling there per mauently la not at this point a wise course of action. The secretary and other offlclala of the department or tne interior have been deluged with letters from ' substantial citizens who would like to get "away from it all." Canton nd Enderbury, they think, would be an Ideal place for escape. Owier letters, coming mostly from the middle west, Indicate that the pioneering spirit still Uvea In the American soil. Hardy mldwestern larmera are ready, at a word from Ickea, to pack up the plow, sell the family livestock, and strike west for new and more fertile fields In the middle of the Paclflo ocean. No Pioneers Wanted The office of Dr. Ernest Oruen- lnu. dlrootor of the division of .ter ritories, lias been forced regretfully to Inform the hordes who would cheerfully migrate to the new Amer lean Islands that applications for pioneers ara not being received for the time being, canton and Enderbury, offlclala explain, are not exactly of the Soutn a garden type bursting with lush vegetation . ana trilling wun eoua. l'here are no blrda of paradise fllt tlme from tree to tree. There la no immediate possibility at planting waving fields of grain. The letters come In, soma written n sheets of brown wrapping paper, and others flourishingly Inscribed on rich stationery. How la the beat way to get to Canton and isnaer miry? Where 1 the nearest register of deeds where one can file a olalm? Tha answer Is "No." There are no regular boat schedules to either Can ton or Enderbury, and none of the larger shipping line hi route under consideration. Harbors for Uowboats Neither of the two Islands haa a harbor suitable for anything bigger than a medlum-ileed rowboat. can ton island- la a ring of scrub land nd coral, Inclosing a steaming la goon suitable for seaplane landings but not very mucn run to awim m, according to reports on file here. There ara a few scraggly clumps of pslms, kou, and nonl trees on one aide of the Island, but tha vegeta tion scarcely yields sufficient shade to ahelter romance or to keep off sunstroke, tha official reports Indl oate. Enderbury laland Is even mora un promising from an agricultural point of view. There ara a lew unhappy herbs and vines, but tha only lusty Ufa on the Island la to be found In the rata which arrived with the early Polynesians who flrat landed at Enderbury some centurlea ago, and among tha mora adapted forms of eilatence. The Polynesia la neglect ad to stay. suitable tor Planes Enderbury, too, haa a lagoon, but It la a low brackish pond unsuitable for seaplane use. It affords an ex cellent runway for a land plane, however. Tha United States haa colonised the islands, offlclala point out, with the atrong. sturdy youths of the . Kamehemeha school of Honolulu. These stalwart Hawallana oan with atand the blistering aun, tha terrific heat of these sub-equatorial Islands, but It la doubtful whether the aver age middle westerner could wield a hoe In anything approximating com fort there. Canton and Enderbury, It la point ed out. ara barren mounda of sand and coral which may make conven ient landing depots for trana-Pa-cltlo planes on their way to New Zealand. But the Islands would never run much competition to Tahiti or the Riviera as a watering spot for lovers of art and beauty. Secretary lokes hopea that hla cor respondents will understand why he Isn't vary co-operative with their en thusiastic offers to help In .the good work of colonisation. suoh Medford Awaits O. N. P.
