i T — 5 THIS REVOLUTION? Daily Alaska Empire GENERAL MANAGER In | Roos! straightforward, sincere fashion, President velt, in the foreword of his new book, —;Our Way,” answers those critics of the Admin- the listration who see in its policies a revolution, the | setting up of Facism, or the establishment of Com- munism. He declares if his administration “is a revolution, it is a peaceful one, achieved without violence, without the overthrow of the purposes of | established law and without the denial of just treat- ment to any individual or class.” Proofs of the foreword were given out recently in New York by the publishers of the book It said: Some people have called our new policy “Fascism.” It is not Fascism because its inspiration springs from the mass of the people themselves rather than from a class or a group or a marching army. More- over, it is being achieved without a change in fundamental republican method. We have kept the faith with, and in, our traditional political institutions. ROBERT W.

KA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ALASIZUAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. Some people have called it “Commun- ism”; it is not that either. It is not a driving regimentation founded upon the plans of a perpetuating directorate which subordinates the making of laws and the processes of the courts to the orders of the executive. Neither does it manifest itself in the total elimination of any class or in the abolition of private property. If it is a‘revolution, it is a peaceful one, achieved without violence, without the overthrow of the purposes of established law and without the denial of just treat- ment to any individual or class.

POPULAR COUPLE MINING CORPORATION 1S FORMED AT VALDEZ The improvement of Federal revenues has been one of the most cheering aspects of the country’s progress toward recovery.
