ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. VOICING Al ’S SENTIMENT. Alaskans, generally, are concerned about the fill- ing of Federal judicial and other positions in Alaska. | They are all, without regard to party, unreservedly opposed to having them filled by persons resident in the Territory. They detest, as Americans always have, that type of government popularly known as “carpetbag.” Thus when the! Campbell Resolution vrges President Roosevelt to appoint none but “bona fide” Alaskans, and pomls' out that this does not include former Alaskans who| now make their homes outside of the Territory, it merely voices officially a sentiment that has been thousands of Alaskans recently and in elsewhere than uttered by previous years, Senator Campbell’s resolution was passed by both the Senate and House by unanimous vote. There of either that had any inclination to say “no.’ Individual members, indeed, went farther than just vote. In order that official Wash- ington should be officially advised of local sentiment, the members shared pro rata in the expense of for- warding it to the President by radio and telegraph. Every will sincerely hope that President Roosevelt be guided in his appointments by their expressed wishes, and there is no reason to believe he will not be. was no member Alaskan will A PRIVILEGE AND A CIVIC DUTY. The annual membership campaign of the Cham- ber of Commerce is drawing to a close. While re-| sults have heen surprisingly good under existing| circumstances, apparently the total roll will be somewhat smaller than last year and the year before that. Those who have held membership in the organization in the past do not need to be told of its worthwhile services to the community— they have a knowledge of them at first hand. Those lately coming to Juneau will not need long to become familiar with the Chamber, its aims and its aggressive activity in promoting everything for promotion of the city’s welfare generally. If you are not a member it is your privilege, and civic duty to become one. In thousands of towns throughout the United States the benefits of strong Chambers of Commerce have been as import- ant and obvious as they are here, Juneau has a strong, energetic Chamber of Commerce, and whether or not all of its deeds are obvious it is doing an excellent job. It deserves your membership and, what is still more important, your ideas, efforts, suggestions to help Juneau progress. It is not neces- sary to wait for a call from the Membership Com- mitee. Signify your intention to join, attend the meetings. Your service to the community will be rewarded. | REPEAL. Tast week ‘Representative Hellerich introduced for the second time in two years a bill to repeal the Alaska Bone Dry Law. In 1931, after mature consideration, the Legislature changed the repealer from a direct law to what amounted to a memorial to Congress to repeal the local dry statute. It felt that Congress had denied the Alaska Legislature the power to take that action by specifically for- bidding it to pass laws relating to the sale or manu- facture of intoxicating liquor. And there is much to be said for that view. However, former Delegate James Wickersham, onetime Federal District Judge in Alaska and one of its leading legal authorities, holds the opposite view., He has so expressed himself publicly and privately. When he introduced a bill in Congress last year to repeal the Bone Dry Law, he held that opinion. In a hearing before the House Committee on Territories he said frankly he believed the Legis- lature could have enacted the repealer without exceeding its constitutional powers. Delegate Dimond, as a member of the 1931 Alaska Senate, subscribed to the view that the local organi- zation probably was without the necessary power. However, on the eve of his departure to Washington last month to prepare to assume office, he admitted he would, if he were a member of the present local Legislature, work and vote for outright repeal. He would, he said, like to see the matter tested in (to disparage the air. the Constitution. As in the first two instances, the President acted for the best interests of the nation, and assuredly his stand on all three issues is sup- ported by a great majority of the people, The request for modification of the Prohibition law is in direct accord with the Democratic National platfrom pledge, made in Chicago last Summer, and with Mr. Roosevelt’s own personal pledge to the voters.” The voters ratified the pledges in the elec- tion last November. It is now mandatory on the Congress, overwhelmingly dominated by the Demo- cratic Party, to redeem them. Organization, in sports parlance it's team play, is the greatest force in society. Serve your organiza- tion and your organization will serve you. Fail it, and inevitably it will balance the scales by failing to serve you. To the suggestion that millions of men could be employed throughout the nation in reforestation, we would like to add that in Alaska some thousands could be profitably employed in scientific defor- estation. The New “God Save the King.” (New York Times.) The new standardized score of “God Save the King,” communicated in a British Army order to army and navy bands and civilian orchestras, has an interest for the United States, since the Rev. Samuel F. Smith’s “America” was written in 1832 to fit the air. tI is apparent that the score of “God Save the King” has been altered in tempo and expression to please King George. In his memoirs Sir Landon Ronald, conductor and composer and a leading British authority on music, reported the King as saying to him: “I do wish that musicians would not play ‘God Save the King, so quickiy. They hurry through it as if they want to get it over, and to me it means a good deal—I look upon it as a hymn.” A London critic says of the slowing up of the tempo: “The hymn is to ‘steal on the ear and to swell in triumph and dignity.” The Toronto Globe observes: “As it gains Empire-wide accept- ance, it will be sung wherever people congregate in a spirit of sincere and reverent simplicity.” It has not been settled who composed the air of “God Save the King.” John Bull (1563-1628) and Henry Carey (1696-1743 divide the honors. It was first played in 1740, to celebrate the capture of Porto Bello by Admiral Vernon. -In- anthologies of verse Carey's words appear under the title of “God Save the King.” They are sung to the famous air; but it is said that the words resembled an old folksong. Probably the tune went with them. There is some evidence of German origin. However, it is said that John Bull composed an “ayre” very similar. On the Continent several nations adopted the music of the English national anthem. Beetho- ven “introduced it into his ‘Battle Symphony,’ and Weber used it also.” There is therefore no reason It has satisfied a common need of expressing national sentiment. A Jury of the Nations.

After months of inquiry and deliberation, the League of Nations Assembly has brought in a ver- dict of guilty. In a carefully drawn report on the Manchurian situation, 42 nations have spoken their condemnation of Japanese imperialism in Northern China. The report recommends continued non- recognition of Manchukuo, Japan's puppet State, and indorses most of the content of the Lytton report. This League action sets a wholly new precedent. A concert of the nations has passed judgment on the foreign policy of a major Power, and has recom- mended legal action to enforce its disapproval. The step was taken by a decisive vote. voted yes. Siam abstained from voting. There was no vote against the resolution. Although Japan’s delegation walked out of the meeting, it has not yet stated Japan would withdraw from the League. The United States already had taken the same} position, opposing Japan's expansion into Asia and determining to refrain from recognizing the new State. This means that the entire body of nations, saving Russia, is now on record as opposing Japan's course. This unanimity is the surest guarantee possible that in time the reckless policy of the Tokyo Government will be modified. The significance. of the action at Geneva yes- terday appears to be two-fold. It means first that the League of Nations has restored its winning prestige as an agency for enforcing international law and treaty observance. And it means, secondly, that the world is completely in accord on a policy calculated to isolate Japan until that Power adjusts its course of conquest to the public opinion of the world and the spirit of the peace treaties. Speed. (New York World-Telegram.) He drove 272 miles an hour. Well, what of it? Sir Malcolm Campbell, we mean. He broke his own record of 253 miles at Daytona Beach, Fla. yes- terday. He dove an automobile faster than any human had yet driven one. What difference does it make? It makes this difference: It marks a new step in progress toward a closer union of the whole human family, for if a man can pilot an automobile four and a half miles a minute over a stretch of beach this gives promise of more successful and swifter crossings of oceans and territories. Many people when Barney Oldfield did the first hundred miles in an hour asked, “Well, what of it?” Sir Malcolm gave his form of answer with his 272 miles an hour yesterday. He showed remrakable stamina, incidentally, es- pecially since he drove with one hand when an in- jured wrist gave way. Deeds of daring and skill under extreme peril certainly have an uplifting influence upon the human race, as the flight of lasting eloguence. We congratulate this Englishman upon his con- tribution to cool sportsmanship and his greater con- tribution to engineering science. Mr. Hoover says he won't say anything for nine the courts as soon as possible. Without doubt it would require months to get Congress to act. The Legislature can act without delay and a test case could be instituted in the local courts to the end that a final determination could be made, possibly before Congressional action could be had. PRESIDENT ACTS PROMPTLY. President Rooseveit, whose forthright actions in the banking crisis and later in demanding from Congress legislative authority to reduce drastically current governmental expenses, has again demon- . strated the quality of his leadership in requesting the Congress to enact legisiation to modify the National Prohibition Act to permit the manufacture of beer _other beverages. of such aleoholic content as may be deemed non-intoxicating within the scope of months after March 4.
