ALASKA SIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE_LARGER OF OTHER PUBI ACCEPTING THE RESPONSIBILITY. Lewis B. Schwellenbach, Senator-elect from the State of Washington, in speaking at a Democratic dinner celebrating the state-wide victory of the party, said: “There is no-place in the New Deal for dishonesty. We can have no grafters, chiselers, crooks or corruptionists. We must be first to con- demn those of our own ranks who are dishonest.” He sounded a call for ‘“courage, honesty, faith, and loyalty,” from all those elected to public office. Senator-Elect Schwellenbach's attitude and frank statements to the officials elected by his party is most commendable. As expressed here previously the Democratic Party has received a tremendous responsibility from the voters of the nation, and every thinking Democrat realizes this, and in turn must exercise every intelligent faculty to fulfill the faith that the people have placed in the party. The attitude Senator-elect Schwellenbach express- ed in his speech is in accord with the character of this young man. To those who know him, this expression of his realization of responsibility, hon- esty, courage and his endeavor to impress it on his fellow members of the party is characteristically natural. ‘Throughout his undergraduate days at the Uni- versity of Washington, from which he graduated in law, “Louie,” was known by almost everyone on the campus, not only for his high scholastic record, and the agile, intelligent mind, and perseverance that attained that record, but also for his activities in many phases of campus community life, and for his understanding of fellow students. Hundreds of younger students remember “Louie” as a ‘big” man on the campus, who also always had time to help and encourage underclassmen. The qualities that made it possible for the new Benator to earn his way through to a law degree, to attain high scholastic standing, and still have time for campus community activities and the helping of other students, and later to win the nomination and election as United States Senator are qualities that the Administration has been look- ing on with favor, and have been seeking in neces- sary man power to work out the New Deal. The State of Washington may well be proud that Lewis B. Schwellenbach will represent it in the Senate of the United States. JUNEAU’S PROLONGED INDIAN SUMMER. ‘The marvelous weather Juneau has been enjoying throughout the Fall has been commented on before here, and even if a brief storm did raise considerable havoc Saturday, the prevailing mild and sunny weather deserves further notice. Today according to the local Weather Bureau Seattle is being well rained upon. San Francisco has had much rain, with a precipitation of 1.4 inches during the period of from 5:00 A.M. yesterday STOCK PRICES TAKE ADVANGE, GENERAL MANAGER‘ | residents should take advantage of it, and invest in |a little health insurance by hiking and walking in !is US.—(Philadelphia Bulletin.) REPUBLICANS LOSE, DEATH to 5:00 AM. this morning, which is a lot of rain for San FPrancisco, according to Juneau Weather Man Thompson. Indications are that today's fine weather will probably last at least a day or two longer. Juneau the fresh clear air SRS ¥ Mr. Ford on Recovery. (New York Times.) Mr. Henry Ford is apt to sound a note of finan- cial hopefulness. His declaration last Thursday that a year of better business is ahead of us and that “the depression would be over for the whole country very soon, if American industrialists would take hold of their plans and run them with good, sound American sense,” was doubtless read with gratifica- tion. It predicted what every one wishes for. Mr. Ford reinforced his prophecy by announcing that his company’s “production schedule” for 1935 has been raised to a figure not reached since 1930. Consid- ering that the country’s total motor-car output, in the nine months ended with last September, was already 45 per cent above the corresponding period of 1933 and 107 per cent above that of 1932, the significance of a program of further increase is evident enough. It is true that Mr. Ford's predictions have not always been borne out. He missed the mark pretty badly after the White House conference of November, 1929, when he declared to the newspaper correspond- ents that the way to stop the trade reaction was through increase in the general wage level. “Wages must not come down,” he then asserted. “They must not even stay at their present level; they must go up.” A month later, in fact, his company actually raised the minimum daily wage at its De- troit plant from $6 to $7. But in 1930 the plant was decreasing its active employees; in the Autumn of 1931 the $6 minimum was restored, and late in 1932 a further cut was made. His forecasts of probable production, even at his own factories, have sometimes gone astray—as when he hinted in Feb- ruary, 1932, at a ‘“possible program of 1,500,000,” which was more than one-third above subsequent yearly output. Nevertheless, after allowing for such impulsive and sometimes eccentric judgments, the fact re- mains that Mr. Ford’s acutal views have often been marked by accurate common sense. His company was the first to foreshadow by its program bot.h‘ the severe industrial setback at the end of 1920 and the revival during 1922. Furthermore, there is a touch of reality in his present opinion that the blame for lagging business rests largely on business men themselves. This is not to deny that obscurities and un- certainties exist—political, financial and industrial— to which hesitation on the part of producers and consumers may reasonably be ascribed. But un- certainty regarding the immediate or longer future always exists; there was plenty of it, to the mind of thoughtful business men, even in 1928 and 1929. But with finance and industry as a whole, doubt or misgiving was in those days always interpreted in the light of the visible trend of things. At a moment when the bell was brought about to strike for the great action, business confidence continued positive. As we are now aware, that attitude had continued, in the general walks of trade, long after correct indications of a downturn had begun to| show themselves. The majority of business men refused to be alarmed. It cannot well be doubted that precisely the opposite attitude prevails today, at a moment when weather-signs are pointing as plainly to recovery as they were to reaction in the Summer of 1929. The experience of business men in the past four years has shaken their morale, just as their ex- perience in the three or four prosperous years before the Autumn of 1929 had promoted over- condience. Whereas in that year every disturbing indication was by ‘most people thrust aside as some- thing not at all in line with recent events and visible tendencies, in 1934 every suggestion of un- certainty and insecurity is accepted as foreboding possible reversion to 1932. As a contribution to sober analysis of an existing situation, the one attitude is at least as lacking in larger vision as the other was. There are plenty of obstacles in the way of that rapid and uninterrupted recovery for which, in its alternating fits of cheerfulness and depond- ency, business hopes. Not least of them is the fact that the people as a whole are poor; how can robust recovery begin from such a state of things? But possibly it is worth while to recall the very prevalent idea of 1929 that the people as a whole were unpncedentedly rich; how could reaction and depression occur in the lace of that condition?
