ALASKA CIRCULATION GUABANTEED TP BE LARGER THAN 'rch‘QF ANV omtw Fuak cATloN THE END OF THE STRIKE. With the overwhelming vote to submit all dif- ferences to arbitration, the longshoremen's strike that cost the Pacific Coast ports more than $50,- 000,000 and Alaska in proportion comes to a long- delayed end. We wonder what the strikers gained that can compensate them for the wages they lost, and the general public for all of the loss and inconvenience it suffered. Yet this financial damage is the least of the loss that was incurred. have they gained that will restore to life’ those who paid the supreme sacrifice on this unnecessary altar of employer-employee embroglio? The strike was not essential to establish recogni- tion of union labor. Dockers' unions were already in existence in a great majority of the coast ports. It was not necessary to drag it out to such lengths in order to bring about recognition of the Inter- national Longshoremen’s Association. International President, Mr. Ryan, expressed the view of that organization when he declared him- self satisfied with the terms of agreements reached with waterfront employers, but those terms of settle- ment were uniformly rejected. on more than one occasion by the rank and file of the strikers. As early as June 9, the unions had won all of the major issues in the strike. The comparatively minor point of econtrol of the hiring halls blocked the way to arbitration on all other points. And | that is now to be arbitrated. This brings the thought that union labor owes a duty to the public, which is to say to the country, to recognize its responsibilities 2s well as to demand | that employers live up to theirs. Organized labor as a whole enjoys the confidence of the American people, and rightfully so. single factor in raising the standard of American | living. That is the result of sane counsel, considered | policies, wise leadership that has had the support of a majority of the rank and file of their followers, and a demonstrated determination to consider the welfare of all the people as paramount. If it is to retain that confidence, it cannot afford to rebel against its leadership, to reject reasonable offers of compromise, and, most of all, not to resort to such weapons as the futile general strike that was at- tempted in San Francisco. There was unquestionably provocation for sym- pathetic strikes by other than longshoremen's unions. The calling out of National Guards, when the President’s National Mediation Board was still endeavoring to bring about a basis for arbitration, was uncalled for. Still, this was not sufficient ground for the calling of a general strike, which, in the language of Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, is simply civil war. And perhaps‘to him, with his unparalleled gift for phrasing, is due more credit than anyone t else for the happy ending. It was he who was able to make the working man see what it was that he proposed to do. Union labor of America today has the greatest opportunity in its history. For the first time on record, gaining. In view of its very great achievements in the past, it wpuld be a pity if it &hrnwfl ‘way that opportunity. We do not believe it will. are convinced it will keep its feet on the gronhd and, casting out those in its ranks who advocate violence and sabotage, will go forward to greater and more enduring works of benefit for its members with lasting benefit to the nation as a whole. WATERFOWL REPORTS SHOW CONDITIONS SERIOUS. Unusual weather last winter led to unusual behavior by waterfowl. This in turn caused many bunters to overestimate the number of these birds. What | Long ago 1hel It, has been the greatest| it has legal groundwork for collective bar-} commissions_as well as Cnnndmn omc}als have, heen asked Yor ourednt information concerning water- fow] conditions in their’ jurisdiction. In this task the Bureau is availing itself of the services of scores of experienced volunteers and its own field employees. 3 THE DIVIDEND RECORD. | The dividend record for the first six months of Ithis year is described by the Standard Statistics Company as most impressive by comparison with the same period of last year. According to the com- pilation, there were 734 favorable dividend changes, compared with 282 not| favorable, whereas during |the first six months of' 1933 there were 1,121 un- favorable dividend actions-and only.213 that were favorable, confined to thé months of May and Jung, ‘after busindss had begui to show signs of activity. his year ‘there were 198 inc¢reases of dividends, mnxl "40 Jast year, 214 resumed dividends, ‘against {71 in the like perfod of 1933; 226 extra dividends, | compared with 97 and 196 initial dividends against 74.

How much better for all of us it would be if they'd board a steamer and pay us a visit for the summer. An old “copy book” maxim had it, “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.” How much more | uneasy must lie the head that adorns a dictator’s lpillow. Someone Las invented a reversible airplane motor. Next thing some daring pilot probably will undertake a transAtlantic flight backward. Hitler's system is to order them killed and then get the deaths legalized afterward. And Germany isn't likely 'to stand for a lot of that sort of ‘!hing, Paying for Publieity. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The disclosure that Mr. Ivy Lee, widely known publicity counsel, has been retained by agents of the German Government to advise them on courting |American favor does not come as a surprise. Mr. !Lee's frequent visits to Germany and various other hints in the last year made it plain that he was profiting by the Hitler Government’s conspicuous need for good will in America. There is nothing |unusual or reprehensivie about this relationship, |so long as it involves simply the advising of the Berlin Government as to tactful policies. 1 Lee's and other such firms have been emplnyed imany times by foreign governments to advise those |governments as to how they can develop policies {to win friendship in America or how they can pre- sent their case to the American public in a favorable ilight. The most common use of publicity counsels by foreign governments no doubt has been to supply favorable bits of news as the prelude to the floating lof bond issues in America. This particular objective lin propaganda has not been very important since 11930, when new foreign securities have been un- popular in the United States. | The McCormack Committee appears to be suc- cessful in getting a mass of information regarding German propaganda .in America. It does not follow |that this informatiod’ forms the basis for an indict- {ment of German propaganda methods,;The methods, 'so far as the committee has divulged them, are the usual ones employed by foreign governments in the United States. I We should make a careful distingtion, in read- !ing the news from the McCormack, Committee, be- tween propaganda calculated to foster good will this country organizations which are. inimical to our democratic system. These are wholly distinct objectives, and must be dealt with by wholly dif- ferent methods. Perhaps the most interesting con- clusions to be drawn from the evidence so far is the fact that the Hitler Government through its agents has spent a lot of money for advice in gaining America’s good will, and has Iittle good will to show for it. Eithér the advice and aid it got from New York publicity counsel was an inferior product, or else Berlin did not use the advice it received. Wilson’s Idealism. TR v (Raleigh News and Qbserver.) Wilson was beaten, but there is no evidence at hand to indicate that the world won. There is, indeed, every evidende that the fifteen years since Wilson, who had won the war, lost the peace, have been years in which the world moved in foolishness into deeper tragedy. Wilson's idealism, fifteen years after, still seems to offer the only practical way to world peace and prosperity. The Nationalists have had their day, and a bitter day.it has been. The dictator still struts, but he acts with ‘a cruelty that makes evident his fears. At such a time in such a world no mistake will be made if there is re-examination of the idealism which was repudiated by the “practical politicians.” . Yes: It’s a Big Country!
