The vote in Tuesday's election in Alaska can | be construed in but one way. It is an honest and | sincere endorsement of the Democratic Administra- | tion, an expression of confidence in President Roose- velt and an offering of continued support to the New Deal and its agencies. The vote in the First Division seems to be that Niagara gave when 15,000 tons of rock s‘.lpped‘ Here | from the lip of the Horseshoe Falls and crashed mlo | basing its article on the telegraphic there was no organized effort to get out a big |the gorge below.

Not a Democratic candidate for office spoke from a platform to ask for support for himself or party. Party workers, in striking contrast to former election years. day—that of the election. confined their efforts to a single, velt Administration had proved itself worthy of sup-, port, that the Democratic ticket here was harmony with the President’s program and had pledged itself to support his policies, and that the G. O. P. was attacking the Roosevelt Administration. The Republican candidates made a comprehensive '€ campaign. They spoke in and visited all of the larger communities and many of the smaller ones. Independent candidates, also, held public meetings. | All of the organized activity was carried on by the opposition. Despite that fact the majority cast for the Democratic candidates generally was substantial. | This seems to have been true in all of the Divisions, particularly in the Third, where the Democratic strength was even strohger than in the First. | There is no cause for astonishment in this. sons familiar with the situation, had the opportunity to visit in all Alaska have been unanimous in agreeing that Alaskans are strongly behind the New Deal. That| 18 as it should be. Alaska, through the Democratic organization, launched Franklin D. Roosevelt's quest for the Presidency. It pledged its Delegates to the' 1932 Chicago Convention to vote for him for the party’s Presidential nomination. Though it had no vote in the National election two years ago, it showed its approval of Mr, Roosevelt’s campaign by a sweeping local Democratic victory. But it was no more conclusive or widespread than was v,hat‘ of Tuesday. 3 | Maine Monday did the same thing in no less‘ striking fashion. With two such evidences of public | approbation of the New Deal so widely separated | as Maine and Alaska coming within two days, the| doubting Thomases of the country ought to be con- | wvinced that the American people generally are as strongly behind the President today as they were during His candidacy for office, those who have sections ol} | HIGH SPEED WARFARE. The mock warfare carried on recently by the Italian army in the neighborhood of Florence has aroused widespread discussion of the technique to be anticipated 1n the next war. This probably is due to the large cmphasis given to tanks and armored cars in the Italian war games. On the basis of | the tactical problems, Italian military experts predict | confidently that trench warfare is outmoded, and | in the “next war” will give place to rapid troop movements carried on by means of tanks and heavily armored cars, with airplanes playing an important though unpredictable role. Possibly there is some ground for optimism in the fact that fewer troops are required for tank warfare. It may also be that highly idustrialized oountries stand to benefit by the accelerated mechan- fzation of warfare. One who is looking for cheerful angles might also seize upon the “trend to tanks” as proof. that the next war will not eontinue as Jong as the last. It is usually proved that each major war wit- nesses the development of a new weapon or method of warfare, more or less revolutionary in character. The greatest deveolpment, it seems, comes in time of war, rather than in time of peace, although the perfection of a weapon—a painstaking procedure always—somefimes aWwaits the more leisurely years of peace. Not until the World War was well under way was it clear that trench fighting was to be the salient feature in that Homeric struggle. The tremendous increase in precision machinery and mechanized units failed to dislodge the infantry, which was the backbone in each army in that war. Perhaps the vastly greater use of tanks and other mechanical equipment will not take the burden from the foot-soldier. At least so the French are insisting, despite Mussolini’s convincing case for high mobility. One might anticipate some con- servatism in French military eircles, however. For having spent an unprecedented sum of money on the world’s most ambitious trench and dugout lines, the French are bound to express belief in the infantry and_ 3 ral staffs, the layman is likely to conclude that » next war is going.to be ingly; destructive, e devastating for eivilian and even disastrous for what we llke to call civilization. e single (8 swift stream scour away rocks.

'pause The layman’s continuing wish for the application of more brains and statesmanship to the prevention of war, and lcss to the development of war as a science seemed in a fair way to be granted in the early 20's. But once more the nations are showing more progress in the technic of slaughter than in the subtler art of keeping peace. COMMANDER PERKINS. The people of Juneau, and many other Alaskans who have become acquainted with him during his tour of duty here, regret the departure rron\ this section of Lieut. Commander H. C. (81 Perkins, for the past three years Executive Officer of the United States Coast Guard cutter Tallapoosa. - He has made a host of friends during his stay in Alaska by his attention to duty, his*friendliness, charm of personality and genuine' interest in Alaska. His work has €arried him to all parts of coastal Alaska, madé him familiar with conditions there and -brought him into contact with all the various classes of resi- dents, He has made friends among them all. The service he has rendered has been a credit to the Coast Guard Service. The best wishes of Alaskans will go with him to his new post on the Florida coast, best wishes for his future success, and hope that some day in the future he wi? again be assigned to duty in this part of the country. If Europe starts a war one thing certain Is, Uncle Sam isn’t going to ask if it's a private fight or if anybody can gei tnto it. Before we get too grouchy, we should remember that Americans live in the best of countries, and Alzskans live in the best of America. Saving Niagara. (New York Times.) Geologists haruiy needed the lesson in crosion Niagara is a freak. Ordinarily sand and gravel in The stream flows over a Left without support, | the hard top layer of dolomite breaks of its own It takes centuries to bring about a huge Since 1843 the Falls have been receding at the rate of less than four feet a year. It will take until 23053 to tear down the sixteen miles of rock still remaining between the Falls and Lake Erie. Reassuring as this may be, there is no denying; that the magnificence of Niagara as a spectacle might be impaired. Is there no way of preventing the process of destruction? A Special International Niagara Board studied the question some years ago,‘w It recommended construction of submerged de- ! flecting weirs, together with excavation, to divert | some of the flow from the central channel to the sides, thus correcting’ the thinness of the American Per- 'Falls and providing more water for the flanks of K T====v- the Horseshoe. Consulting engineers were not of one opinion on the merit of this plan. The board therefore suggested a diversion test. The power companies ' were to be permitted to construct the works and to withdraw temporarily 10,000 second-feet on each side of the ‘river, whereupon the Canadian and Ameican Governments were to judge the effect.! Only then was a policy of permanent withdrawal to be considered. Niagara convention embodying this proposal was approved by the Canadian Par- liament, but was rejected by the Foreign Relations Committee of our Senate on the ground that the power interests would profit too greatly, and that the United States should build its own engineering works rather than leave them to private com- panies. No other plan has been put forth so technically sound as that of the Special Board. Every cen- ceivable safeguard was incorporated in the conven- tion to pevent the marring of a spectacle that! thrills millions every years and to curb the ruth- | lessness of natural forces. With 15,000 tons of rock lying at the foot of the Horseshoe to remind both the Canadian and American Governments that the Niagara Falls are not indestructible, the time seems to have come ror an agreement on the method of carrying out a proposal which is technically the most sensible thus far submitted.

It seems that ‘the Virginia police have begun a campaign of brake-inspection against North Carolina and other trucks entering their territory. simpler age one would have assumed that the Virginia police had been reading New York news- papers and let it go at that. Alas! nothing today is simple. North Carolina editors have charged that this campaign is really directed not against the brakes but the cargoes of the trucks; it is a new form of “espionage” designed to protect the Virginta liquor monopoly agalnst the freeborn distiller of Tar Heel corn whiskey. For dges not North Caro- lina—last pillar of Prohibition ‘and unyielding de- fender of the Eighfeenth Amendment—‘“make, sell and drink the cheapest but the best liquor in the world?” [ § This allegation has caused pain in the Old Dominion. “The Lynchburg Advance” does naot decry the great qualities of North Carolina moon- shine; on the contrary it wants to know what) bearing the Webb-Kenyon act.and the guaranty in the repeal amendment against invasion by illicit liquors should have upon this situation. In all of the repeal debate nothing it points out, “was ever said about dry States shipping their native liquor into wet States in competition with legitimate busi- ness;” yet here is a dry State boasting that it is doing just that and regarding police interference as a meddlesome infringement upon the free rights of trade. Are not the wet States entitled to the protection of the repeal amendment quite as much as the dry ones?
