ASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ALASKAAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. WELCOME TO “THE FLEET.” Not all of the American Fleet, it is true, cast its anchors in Gastineau Channel today. But a division of submarines is no weak portion of it, and this division which is cruising in Alaska waters for the first time is composed of the latest type and largest of Uncle Sam's undersea craft. With some 1,600 officers and men aboard they have come as our guests, not merely guests of Juneau, but also guests of the entire Territory, for Juneau is its capital. They will be with us until July 30. Almost as soon as they depart, we shall be host to some 500 more, including aviators, pilots and mechanics from 12 of the Navy's latest and biggest airplanes. Thus we are shown two of the most interesting branches of the Nation's maritime forces—the one which does its fighting beneath the waves and the othér above the clouds. It is a grand and glorious day for Juneau. A day, or rather days, of holiday and picnic spirit. It is no small honor that we are paid in this sending of vessels and aircraft such a distance from their bases for a visit. To the men of the Navy we say, “Welcome.” If there are those who might lift eyebrows at high spirits and Justy enthusiasm, we say: “Here are men who have spent years of their lives in training in specialized services, requiring a high degree of intelligence, skill and nerve. They are not mere gobs ashore for a carouse. They are the pick of the service, traveled men, if you please, who have observed life in the ports of the world. They are worth getting acquainted with.” So again, let us emphasize: “Sailors, Welcome! Enjoy Yourselves!” R ——— STAL SAVINGS NO LONGER WELCOME. An interesting reflection of current money and bond market conditions and, also, an echo of the PO not distant days when hoarding was so prevalent " may be found in a recent Washington note that many large banks throughout the country have been turning back unwanted postal savings deposits to the Treasury, to the tune of almost $73,000,000 in May and $187,000,000 in three months. The banks, bulging with excess reserves and struggling to make a profit at low interest rates now prevailing, cannot see any way to put these millions to work on which | they are required to pay 2% per cent interest and against which they have to deposit Government obligations which are, themselves, usually quoted at a premium. Hence the clear incentive to toss back the deposits and cash in on the “governments.” When affrightened hoarding was on and postal savings deposits climbed the case was, of course, differed. Then the postoffice, paying two per cent, received the money and often turned it back, well secured, into the same bank from which it had been withdrawn. Now the banks don’t want what they were delighted to get. G. 0. P. STRATEGY. When Senator Borah attacks “defenders of mon- opoly” he is on much sounder ground than are the regulars of his own party who are assgiling the whole recovery program of President Roosevelt. But it is to be noted that even the “lone wolf” of Idaho who, as Byron Prirce recently noted, has had his eye on the Presidency for a long time, did not specify who are these defenders. He spoke of those who “rake off all the gains which come to the farmers, producers and laborers” as if this class was given preferred rights under the New Deal. And that is not so. It is true that industry has been given a charter of self-government. That is one of the underlying principles of the NRA codes which industry accepted at first hesitantly and which it will not now willingly allow to die. Labor, too, got a new charter under the same statute which it will fight to preserve intact. And under the AAA, what has been done for both industry and indus- trial labor, agriculture is attaining. There has been enough profiteering, however, to give an edge to Senator Borah's single-handed crusade. It is already being dealt with. It will be more severely dealt with as time passes. For this reason, he is standing on firmer ground than the orthodox Republicans who, because it springs from its traditional opponent, attacks the whole of the Administration’s recovery program, Even though the Republicans should capture control of the next which they will not do, of course, much of what is written into law for recovery would have to stand unaltered in principle. Much of it has peen highly beneficial and the nation would not see 1t scrapped for the sake of politics. . The Henry P. Fletcher, G. O. P. m‘ Simeon D. Fess, one-time predecessor of Mr. Fletcher, are excellent samples of the unsound strategy of the Old Guard. When . Fletcher estimated the financial cost of the u‘.;vnnlnm_fi«wmemumunm the entire recovery Program, he amogated to him- self a function of the Supreme Court that presents a very complex and dubious issue. Senator Fess proposed that the Administration reverse its policy completely and retrace its steps. He would simply turn the clock back to March, 1933, and try another solution. Possibly just con- tinue the one that the Hoover Administration clung to for more than two years. This point of view disregards all the beneficial measures that have been employed in 17 months, and assumes we can repeal that much history. It is not a realistic attitude. Iit does not follow, of course, that Republican strategy ought not to involve criticism of the Administration’s policies. But such criticisms ought {lo deal with specific policles_ and should be on the {basis of our present stuation. If they are to offer ".\ plausible and workable program in their cam- | paign, the G. O. P. leaders must accept much of :the Administration’s work as a basis of any future policy. Failing to do so, they put themselves in the position of the Bourbons who are in love with the past and who are talking about a United States that no longer exists. It is just as well, we suppose, that the Army bombers do not extend their flight across Bering Strait to Siberia. Even if Japan didn't protest, {that Russian moonshine is said to be worse than most of our American blends. Beginning today Juneau will celebrate its first | “Fleet Week.” Let's make it a point to say to its personnel, “Welcome Sailor!” Running Away. (New York Times.) As Acting Prime Minister during Ramsay Mac- Donald’s absence, Stanley Baldwin will doubtless | be expected to make more frequent political speeches. They will be designed less to give a lead to his own party than to lay down national policies. A few days ago he addressed a large audience in Derbyshire, where he naturally had 2 good deal to say about British agriculture. But he prefaced this with a few remarks about’the dangers of stir- |ring up anythinglike a class war in England. The difficulty was that more and more people were tempted to imitate certain Continental examples, and, as he expressed it, “run away” from the hard iwork of administering ‘'a democratic government and throw themselves into the arms of a dictator. Mr. Baldwin did not deny that democracy is ‘hard to administer successfully. He would agree with Mr. Newton Baker that the reason for this ‘15 that it demands “intelligence” in discussing and |settling political questions. But what is the alter- native? Obviously, to wipe out everything in the nature of an Opposition party, and forbid people even to debate their public affairs. Involved would be, of course, the suppression of freedom of speech and of the press. But if there is one thing his- torically certain, affirmed Mr. Baldwin, it is that you cannot suppress any Englishman.” Sometimes one is tempted to wish that you could! But there is no doubt that Mr. Baldwin put his finger accur- ately on the great quality which has led his country- men — and, we must hope, Americans — to vow through the centuries that they must be free or die. And they know that they cannot remain free imply by running away from the hard work of | ¢ll-povernment. ey A As An Issue. (Milwaukee Journal.) Mr. Roosevelt has a program. Its parts are in ition now, but it is still stiff in many joints. Ihe President has called for criticism in order that and weakness in the laws may be corrected W Congress meets again. Speaking for him, Scnator Lewis of Illinois makes the promise that such corrections will be brought to the attention of | Congress, Does Mr. Fletcher offer such ecriticisms? Not iat all. He tries to make the issue the Constitution and “undermining American institutions.” To mil- lions of Americans Roosevelt action and Roosevelt performance have brought work and hope and assur- ance that their Government cares for them. If these millions decide to send to Congress supporters of Roosevelt, will Mr. Fletcher accept their vote as a vote against the Coonstitution? | | Floodlighting the Arms Industry. (Manchester, Eng., Guardian.) A comprehensive scheme for controlling the arms industry has been adopted by a League committee. | Though it stops short at international control, it yet goes farther than any previous scheme. It would jmake the control of the industry within each country the responsibility of its government. That in itself would be a great step, if it could be secured; hitherto !many countries have declined to set up even a license system for export. This Draft Convention lays down that no arms anywhere should be manu- factured except by firms licensed by governments to make the categories of arms stated in their! permits. Forbidden weapons (presumably such as would be prohibited by a chemical warfare agree- ment and also any others which the world had decided to renounce under a general disarmament isgreement) could not be manufactured at all, and certain' other classes only under fixed restrictions. | |Nor could any arms be either imported or exported except under government license. Permanent and automatic inspection would be provided to see that | these provisions were observed. The Convention | goes considerably farther than the abortive Draft Convention of 1929 in its arrangements for publicity. Not only would every country have to send the names and addresses of its manufacturers to the League and state what sort of arms they were entitled to make, but it would also have to make an immediate return of all orders for munitions, “from whatever source,” received by the manufact- | urers, give a list of deliveries and exports as soon | las they were made, and provide a full annual! return of total manufacture. Such publicity is a necessary step to further control. If Britain, France, and the United States can agree to press the scheme strongly enough there should be some prospect of its going through. Since fearful Germans dare not discuss anything but the weather, they should have some of our brand to give them something really ‘“schrecklich” to talk about.—(Indianapolis Star.) Herr Hitler's current idea seems to be that the goose flesh keeps a Storm Trooper obeying orders even better than th goose step.—(Boston Herald.) | Totaling up the “probable thunder storms” in Ithe weather forecast, and it has been a more than |ordinarily wet summer.—(Detroit News.) | One thing in favor of the nudist gent is he doesn't go around with a toothbrush showing in DIVERSIONS OF ALL KINDS MAY BE FOUND HERE Visiting Navy Men Will FindRecreation Around Gold Belt Capital Where to go.
