ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER | THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER-PUBLICATION. | M’'DONALD HAS SUBSTANTIAL MAJORITY. By the decisive majority of fifty-nine the new | MacDonald Government in Great Britain was given a vote of confidence by ‘he British Commons. It was authorized to go anead with its financial plans to balance the Budget so that income will be as large as outgo. Later, by a majority of ninety-four the closure of debate was ordered and the Govern- ment given a monopoly of time in the proceedings of Parliament. Of course the Laborites, those of them that refused to follow Premier MacDonold and most of them refused, “protested loudly,” but they were compelled to submit to the steam-roller. | The MacDonald Government has an effective majority which it will doubtless hold until the financial plans are worked out and the Ship of State is again running on an even keel. What will happen then no one knows and none seem to be particularly interested. It will probably b some- thing else. The Conservatives expect, of course, to carry the next clection when it shall have been ordered, and it is being suggested that, if they do, Premier MacDonald might be named Viceroy of India. | G. 0. P. LEGISLATURE WISER THAN TAMMANY. The Republican majority in the New York Leg- islature recovered from the shock of Gov. Roose- velt's message asking for an investigation of up- State communities, where corruption charges have been made, most of which places are controlled by the Republicans, in time to present a bill giving the Governor the asked for authority, and to pass it. The mecasure was supported by both Republi- cans and Democrats. This is much better than the Tammany per- formance of attempting to defeat the legislation giving the Seabury committee authority to grant immunity against self-incrimination in testimony given the committee. This law permits the committee to hold witnesses for contempt if they refuse to testify by denying them the right to refuse to give evidence so as not to incriminate themselves, provided the committee first grants them immunity from punishment, for anything they disclose. The circumstance that Tammany joined the Re- publicans and supported Gov. Rooeevelt’s request for up-State investigations and frantically opposed thorough New York City investigation would seem to make it plain that it looked at the whole matter from the partisan angle. Tammany's course in opposing the legislation asked for by Gov. Roosevelt, and given him by a Republican Legislature, amply justifies the con- clusion of the independent New York World-Tele- gram: If Tammany goes on with its senseless, futile obstruction of the investigation of this city it will not only continue to injure itself “grievously, and its party. It will injure the cause of liberalism which New |other hand it | for public | Leader Y {and return to the leadership of Al Smith, Senator by itself. be no danger of any future demoralizing develop- ments in the oil business. There is an old saying that nothing like success. If the Governors of these seven S by co-operating regulate the oil industry so it will be on a permanently stable basis it is likely to introduce another factor in government in the United States. They and other Governors may discover a way to apply their authority to the solution of many things that interfere with the progress of prosperity in their domains. On the is possible that they might becom altogether too busy. succeeds that There seems to be a reason for changing Okla- homa’s Governor's nickname from “Alfalfa Bill” to |“Dollar Bill,” and there are indications that “Dollar Bill” will be even more popular with the oil men than has been “Alfalfa Bill.” If Tammany would regain the fine reputation ice it so long held it ought to retire and some of the District leaders Cu: Wagner, Judge Foley and Judge Olvany.

That City of Tacoma airplane seems to be a jinx. It has had hard luck from the Bromley days until the present. Boost the Fair. Go there once a day at least. - Wheat to China? (Boston News Bureau.) It is devoutly to be hoped that the Farm Board can see its way, legally and financlally, to arrange the proposed transfer of some of its wheat hoard to China. Our wheat growers have deemed their need to get rid of wheat was great. The human need of the Chinese to receive it is now far greater. The growing details of the disaster in the Yangtse Valley suggest that the plight of many millions, superimposed on the previous needs of a distraught country, is one of the calamities of history, perhaps the worst in scope. It outviews in proportionately the volume of our cheap wheat and the size of the Farm Board’s task—and the cost thereof. The Board has had its many troubles. Not least are its attempted dickerings with foreign lands, either by sale in Europe or barter with Brazil, plus the ridicule that followed its own “third row” cotton proposal. The Chinese case seems to be in a class The President suggests we have much more than 15,000,000 bushels to dispose of. The American people will not quibble if the transactions should be on the most lenient credit terms of time and price, or even, in the long run, perhaps with- out any price. It would be bread—or bread material—upon the waters. Not merely would leniency or even gen- erosity add to our repute in China, to the prestige of the “open door.” Besides any sentimental con- sideration there might accrue future practical ad- vantages. The Orient may yet prove, with a transformed living standard, a vast market. First for our raw materials, now so super-abundant; later for our manufactured wares. Our wheat now might rep- resent a initial capital investment sure to grow greatly. We have already remitted much of our war debt; perhaps we may yet find it to our benefit to remit it all. Here is a call for a peacetime debt. Maybe that, too, must in the end be a do- nation. Just now the task of the Farm Board is to sell—with price and time its concern. Perhaps Congress might later, were it found partly or wholly necessary, vote to turn the sale into a gift. . Campaign Issues. (New York World-Telegram.) ‘Those who have complained that there have been no real issues between the two major parties in re- cent elections will be delighted to learn that we are to have such an issue in the 1932 campaign. We have this on no less authority than that of Robert H. Lucas, Executive Director of the Re- publican National Committee. Republicans will want to keep a high tariff, and maybe make it higher. Democrats will want lower rates. And there we have an issue. All very simple. Prosperity won't be an issue, because both parties are in favor of prosperity, says Mr. Lucas. Mr. Lucas is eminently right when he says the tariff will be an issue—even if the Democrats lack the courage to come out bodily for the traditional principles of their party. Our dwindling foreign trade and its effect on York Democracy represents in the eyes of a nation now s> desperdtely in need of liberal leadership. THE FINE COAST GUARD SERVICE. After praising the Coast Guard service for the manner in which it patrolled recent naval races on Lake Washington, the Seattle Times gave the service in general this fine and deserved tribute: The Coast Guard Service is charged with many responsibilities and duties. It enforces the nations’ maritime laws, saves lives at sea, removes obs acles to navigation, gives help to ship-wrecked sailors and passengers, and carries law and order to the remote settlements in the Arctic regions. Also is called upon to patrol iuland waters upon occasions when a strong hand is needed to keep certain civilian craft in order so that life and property nay be safe. In fact the multiplicity of cuties assigned to the Guard gives the impression that it is the busiest of the country’s services. Officers and men of the Coast Guard Service are justifiably proud of their record of achievement from year to year and of their fine traditions. “DOLLAR BILL” AND VICTORY FOR “ALFALFA BILL.” Gov. “Alfalfa Bill” Murray of Oklahoma seems likely to win his fight for dollar ofl. His victory 48 due, of course, mainly to his way of going into any sort of a fight determined to win, and the effectiveness of his fighting methods. The circum- stance that Gov. Sterling of Texas and Gov ‘Woodring of Kansas and the Governors of Arkansas, Louisiana, Nebraska and New Mexico backed him up has helped him. So has the fact that producers would rather sell ol for a dollar a barrel than twenty-five or fifty cents. g It is said that the seven Governors and their various commissioners are now about to get to- gether and fix things up if possible so there will domestic prosperity, and the reprisals by other nations, assure the prominence of the tariff in the campaign. It may be even a bigger issue than Mr. Lucas suspects. We would not be surprised if there would also be considerable discussion of prosperity and what was done to meet the problem of getting jobs and food for six or seven million unemployed, Mr. Lucas to the contrary notwithstanding. Prohibition and organized crime, taxation and the concentration of wealth, expenditures for arma- ment, ugemployment insurances, twenty-five-cent wheat and six-cent cotton, speculation in Wall Street ard in the grain exchanges, banking practices, in- ternational debt cancellation, to mention a few sub- jects, may also force their way into the campaign in spite of Mr. Lucas and his colleagues. This may be distressing to some of the ambi- dextrous politicians, but issues sometimes get out of control of the party leaders. Charmingly Rural. (Seattle Post-Intelligencer.) Prohibition Director Woodcock has suspended one sniffer named Peach and another named Dell. How pleasant and rural is the sound of those three names: Woodcock, Peach and Dell. They bring up thoughts of birds, orchards and charming little val- leys. It's the first pleasing news there’s been about Prohibition for some time. It sounds like that tweedle-tweet noise in the “Oberon” overture. But the spirit is still the stern, rhythmic beat of water, wvater, water, in “Fingal's Cave.” Action in Tennessee against Clarence Darrow's film may be taken to mean that the State wants no more monkey business—(Goshen, Ind., News- Times.) Ex-Beer Baron August A. Busch quotes Hoover as saying in 1918 that there were jobs in beer. Looks like Prohibition never got the idea of beer out of the Busches.—(Port Angeles News.) Mr. Woodcock does not seem to have much authority over his snoopers in the matter of using | lemale decoys.— ¢Cincinnati Enquirer.)
