PEOPLE WELCOME GEN. STEESE. Gen. Steese is welcomed back to Alaska for a long visit. He will meet friends and witness the yesults of his very efficient period of service as President of the Alaska Road Commission for a half dozen years wherever he goes in the Territory. He will be received as a bona fide Alaskan, and one of the Territory’s super benefactors. It would cause rejoicing throughout Alaska if he would decide to remain in the Territory permanently. THER GREAT PAPER LOSES A EDITOR. It seems only yesterday (though it was in 1929) that the world was mourning the death of Charles P. Scott, the great editor of the Manchester Guard- jan who presided over the destinies of that very influential journal for 57 years. Now we are called upon to mourn for his son who succeeded his father as editor of the Guardian. Edward T. Scott was accidentally drowned at Lake Windemere, England, recently when the boat he was rowing out to his yacht at anchor turned turtle. He swam fifty yards toward shore and went down. His body was recov- ered. He was 48 years old, and in the three years that he had been editor and director-general of the Guardian he had proved himself to be a worthy successor of his distinguished father. Members of his profession throughout the world extend sincere sympathy to the Manchester Guardian. AL SMITH HELPED CALIFORNIA DRYS. Eight years ago when the friends of then Gov. Alfred E. Smith and former Secretary of the Treas- ury William G. McAdoo were bitter antagonists at Madison Square in one of the fiercest of the many fierce factional encounters that have occurred in the Democratic Party, one would never have thought the time would come when Al Smith would contribute to the success of Mr. McAdoo, particularly when the latter was leading a dry fight against the man who was the leader of his own convention battle. Four years ago, when the Anti-Saloon League, Bishop Cannon, Dr. Barton, Dr. Clarence True Wil- son and other tycoons of Prohibition, raised hun- dreds of thousands of dollars, lined up churches and dry organizations, to defeat the Presidential candidacy of New York's wet Governor, one would not have supposed that Al Smith would be the instrument through which the Democrats of the great State of California would enthrone the dry forces, with Mr. McAdoo at their head. However, that is what has occurred. The issue on which the California Democrats went to the polls at the recent primary is graphically set forth | in the following editorial correspondence in the New York Times, written at San Francisco, just before the primary: The issue in the Democratic primary here is whether Franklin D. Roosevelt shall have the Presidential delegates or William G. Mc- Adoo shall control the State organization in the interest of the dry cause. That really seems to summarize the sit- uation. Speaker John N. Garner's name is attached to a delegate ticket. But with each passing day one hears less of Mr. Garner as a Presidential aspirant and more of Mr. McAdoo as a candidate for the job of bossing the California Democracy. Not that any one minimizes the chances of elect- ing Garner delegates; that is quite posible. But if it is accomplished, it will be because Mr. McAdoo has taken over the Hearst- 5 Garner combination, which a few weeks ago © gratefully accepted him as an ally. On every hand it is recognized that if the Garner ticket wins, the power, the glory will be Mr. McAdoo's, no matter who gets the delegates on the final ballot in the National Convention. That is not to say that victory is already perching on the Mc- Adoo-Hearst-Garner banner, but merely to indicate on which quartering it will perch, if it perches at all. . . . 4 The Wardell - Dockweiler combination, | © which controls the State organizations, is " backing the Roosevelt delegates. Its efforts | are none the less zealous because its own 4 lease of life depends on defeating the Mc- g, Adoo forces. It has whatever advantages b there are in being identified with the mili- tant wets in California. Against this item there is charged the .~ very large debit caused by the candidacy © of Alfred E. Smith. No informed and un- prejudiced person here is predicting the . election of the Smith ticket. 92 Himself out of the running in California, f Al Smith may prove to be the decisive factor between Roosevelt and Garner. Vir- tually the entire Smith vote will be diverted ‘from Roosevelt, and if it is large enough it may spell disaster to the New York '/ Governor's hopes in this State. * An unknown factor in the situation is the Democratic enrolment — 847,482 as against ,793 in 1928; Of the total Democratic reg- istration, Los Angeles County has 365,000, more than double the party enrolment there four years ago. In former campaigns for the control of the party in California, Mr. McAdoo’s great- est strength has been in dry Los Angeles If the increase in the Democratic registra- tion there is dry or even dryish, the Wardell- Dockweiler wet combination will have its work cut out to carry the State for Roose- velt, in view of the fact that the vote for the Smith ticket will be wholly from the wet element. This wet-and-dry division was not fore- seen when the wet Hearst newspapers launched the Garner boom here. For a fime, the Speaker's candidacy was purely a Hearst adventure. What strength it had arose from the fact that of the seven metropolitan newspapers promoting Democratic candidates, five were wet Hearst newspapers backing Garner. Then the dry Mr. McAdoo stepped in and the whole situation quickly changed. What- ever Mr. Garner’s personal stand, his can- didacy in California has become a battle- front for the dry organization. In the ganglion of complexities presented by the primary prospects only an utterly reckless prophet would venture a guess as to the .resuls. The real issue is McAdoo domination against Roosevelt delegates. One of the marvels of the world is the easy grace with which French Governments resign. Prac- tice makes perfect. Senator Hiram Johnson sald we can get just as good Prohibition enforcement for $5,000,000 as we can for $10,000,000. The kind we have been having would be costly if we got it for nothing. The Alaska Road Commission appropriation has been cut from $800,000 to $354,000. Paving the way, possibly, for turning the Road Commission activi- ties over to the Interior Department. It begins to look almost as though Washington has a grudge against Alaska. Golden Advertising Eggs. (Port Angeles News.) In defense of advertising in good times and hard Gilbert T. Hodges, President of the Adveritsing Federation of America, has made out a good case. He does not ask business, which has reasons enough to be hardboiled, to take the word of an advertising man for it but has a convincing array of figures and specific instances of business gains in depres- sions to prove his statements. Advertising campaigns that were not curtailed electric refrigerators last year. A manufacturer of oil burners increased his advertising in 1930 and increased his sales 56 per cent. Another increase of 37 per cent. Records kept of the business and advertising programs of 120 American corporations over a period of 17 years furnish some conclusive proof of the folly of cutting advertising appropriations when business tightens up. Sixty of these corporations did not relax their merchandising efforts for one instant during the 17 years. In each of the 17 years their advertising expenditures were increased an average of 16 per cent. With what results? Seventeen years ago many of them were small, struggling merchants or manufacturers. Today every one of them is numbered among the foremost busi- ness houses of the United States. They have mul- tiplied their assets four times and their combined net profits last year were thrice those of 1915. Drys May Yet Compromise. (Seattle Times.) Professing deference to honest public opinion, Bishop James Cannon, Jr., says that if Prohibition is to be reconsidered it must be by State Legisla- tures, rather than by “conventions which could be manipulated or controlled.” Many tests have proved the ability of the Anti-Saloon League to manipulate and control State Legislatures, and, of course, that's the only kind of manipulation and control that will do for Bishop Cannon. On the other hand, Mr. Pussyfoot Johnson urges the “aleoholic ghost dancers” to decide this ques- tion by votes in their Congressional districts, adding that if The Literary Digest poll really represents public opinion, “the booze hounds should have no difficulty in electing a Congress that will attend to their thirst.” Mr. Pussyfoot also admits that he is stewed—“too stewed in democracy,” he says, “to compel the people to continue Prohibition if they don't want it.” Welsh Nationalists. (Manchester Guardian.) The nationalists of Wales may be envied for their abounding ardour and confidence. They have form- ed themselves into a party which can hardly yet have had time either to influence greatly or to measure public opinion. Their campaign of pro- paganda has hardly broken ground. But they have already drafted a new Constitution for Wales, and they held a meeting at Aberystwyth at the end of last week to stroke it into form. An unofficial ac- count gives as the cardinal point in the Constitu- tion Wale’s claim to be a free, equal, self-govern- ing partner in the British Commonwealth of Na- tions, with allegiance to the Crown, and with recogni- tion of the Crown's right of legislation dealing with Imperial defense. There have always been ardent Welsh nationalists who desired for their country more power over exclusively Welsh affairs, and in particular more power to develop national cul- ture and traditions. But how many of them want to go as far as the Welsh National Party? Hitler has appealed to the German courts against the decree dissolving his “storm troops.” The contrast between his fiery threats and tame reaction to official reproof is almost comic.—(Seattle ‘Times.) We're sort’s curious to know what the Literary Digest will do about it if the Drys demand a re- count of those wet-and-dry votes.—(Cincinnati En- quirer.) Senator Thomas (Dem.), of Oklahoma: Mr. Presi- dent, as the hours pass by, it perhaps would not be amiss occasionally to state the question before the Senate—(New York Herald Tribune.) Gandhi got a bronze medal from a New York church. Maybe they felt he needed somethirq to pin his clothes together.—(Cincinnati Enquirer.) '\ Wheat prices have been climbing steadily. If this keeps up long enough, American farmers should have plenty of “dough.”—(Miami, Fla, News.) Another shot which will be heard around the world before long will be the repeal of the Eigh- teenth Amendment.—(Buffalo Courier-Express.) It's & darn poor favor if it is expected to be returned with interest.—(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
