ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. TO EUROPE BY AIR VIA ALASKA. Capt. Charles T. P. Ulm and his two companions, George Littlejohn, co-pilot, and J. L. Skilling, navi- gator, who took off from Oakland for Honolulu Monday in their plane “The Star of Australia” on a preliminary survey of a proposed air route from the United States to Australia, are still reported missing. The fact that from some cause thus far unknown| this flight experienced misfortune is most regrettable | and it is hoped that the courageous airmen are alive and safe and will soon be found by the many searching parties that were mustered to locate and: rescue them. | Their pioneer mission of making a survey with the prospect of establishing an air route from the United States to Australia, and undoubtedly even- tually to Europe and England was most worthy. | However, many informed aviation experts h&vc: questioned seriously the advisability of attempting| to link Asia or Europe with the United States through the so-called ‘“southern route,” via the Hawaiian Islands. The hop from mainland to the Island is approximately 2500 miles, a great distance even with modern air equipment or with the antici- pated developments in airplanes during the next five years. The unfortunate experience of Capt. Ulm and| his companions dramatically brings the hazards of such a route to the attention of not only aviation companies but to the general rublic as well. It should stimulate interest and pioneering in the northern route to Asia and Europe via Alaska. Many experts have maintained right along that the Alaska route was the logical ome through which to establish air travel between the United States and Europe. By this route the water distances are greatly minimized and eventually adequate airports, beacons and communications systems could be developed through Alaska and Russia on through to Europe, insuring a maximum degree of safety for air passenger travel. i | Through the regrettable misfortune of the ill- fated Ulm attempt, the attention of the developers| of world wide air routes should be and will be definitely focused on the most logical route, vini"my because of the summer drought, which cut the | Alaska, The Petty Schemes of Little Men. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Tt would be a mistake to take seriously the spectacular ‘“revelations” of Smedley D. Butler charging an attempt was made by Wall Street fi- nanciers to make Butler the leader of a Fascist movement to overthrow the Government. Like Dr. Wirt's discovery of a left-wing conspiracy to make us a Bolshevist nation, this right-wing plot to bring about Fascism is simply too theatrical. Probably some casual remarks in both cases gave Wirt and Butler enough basis for them to convince them- selves that they had struck something big. A wist- ful yearning to be in the headlines is ample to do the rest. Neither Fascism nor Communism comes upon a {for disposing of part of the accumulated surplus | |of past years. | THE DAI country simply as the result of a carefuily laid plot /among a handful of determined men. Such leader- ship and financial support might bring to a head movement of a Bolshevist or Fascist character, if it comes along at the psychological moment, when the mass of people are sick, at heart and ready for anything new. It was thus in Russia, Italy, and Germany. A demoralized population, economic par- alysis, and political chaos combined in each of those instances to set the stage for momentous political change. Lenin, Mussolini, and Hitler appeared to capitalize on an overwhelming popular demand for change. The situation in America has no similarity to that in the three countries mentioned. Our popula- tion is not demoralized. Our economy is on the mend, and never was paralyzed. Our political think- ing is no sense chaotic. The recent election dem- onstrated that an overwhelming majority are well satisfied with our present national leadership. | These observations are made, not because the fantastic plot “revealed” by General Butler war- | rants being dignified by a refutation, but to estab- | lish the basic fallacy in this and every other "al-| leged conspiracy to disturb our political system. The petty schemes of little men are not a serious challenge to a nation which is strong and resource- ful and unified. | TRav A | Old Guard Dilemma. I (New York World-Telegram.) | Despite what it did to Mr. Macy at Rochester the Republican OIld Guard still finds its control of the party in this State challeneged by liberal Republicans who refuse to take back seats and be; quiet. | ‘William Ziegler, Jr., former Treasurer of the Re- | publican State Committee, sounds the full Macy note in a circular letter to prominent Republicans | which begins: | The Republican State Committee is in the hands of a small group of selfish, un- imaginative politicians who have at heart only their own interests. This group will | only further shackle business conditions by | perpetuating in power men who have wreck- | ed the Republican Party in this State, dam- aged it throughout the nation and are stand- ing brazenly in the way of better conditions. | Cruel words for the ears. of Messrs. Davison, | Mills, Wadsworth, et al, who thought to make | everything snug and comfy by squelching Mr. Macy | and taking a little flyer in liberalism with the candidacy of Robert Moses.

Speaker McGinnies begins | to think maybe, after all, it is time to talk of retiring from the Assembly. Mr. Macy's politiculi demise proves to have been shockingly exaggerated. | And now Mr. Ziegler pitches in!

Thc‘ International Wheat Advisory Committee meeting at Budapest was told that the industry faces its worst crisis next year “unless intergovernmental control of production and exports is tightened.” Wheat in this country is 40 cents a bushel above a parity price with Liverpool, a condition which cannot be maintained if next year's growing season is favorable for a normal crop, even on a reduced | acreage. The French price-fixing plan has failed to work, though France is a compact country with only a| quarter of the United States wheat acreage, and | customarily an importer instead of an exporter, so its problem seemed comparatively simple. The American wheat plan has succeeded this year | crop below domestic needs, and opened the way | It is evident from recent remarks of Secremyl Wallace that he and his associates in the Depart- | ment of *Agriculture are in doubt as to what course | to pursue relative to the 1935 crop. Professor Raymond Moley’s reported return to a place of power and influence as Brain Truster No. li will be more reassuring than alarming to the country. A lot of water has passed over the dam since the professor formerly occupied such a post, and he has witnessed its flow, its drift, its eddies and backwashes with a most discerning eye. And | it is believed now that he can, and will, throw himself into the main, midstream current with a zest that will hearten all others therein and even the spectators out on the banks—(Kansas City o — 20 YEARS AGO From The Empire z O e s —— " —— DECEMBER 6, 1914 After continuous shelling for over a week and terrific battling between German and Russian troops, much hand to hand with bayonets, Lodz, Russi Poland's second largest city was reported to have fallen, and the Germans to be taking occupation. Untold thousands had been killed in the battle with the wooded country surrounding the city described as a graveyard. Treasurer B. L. Thane, of the Belgian Relief fund reported that he had $1,67040 on hand received from general subscription, theatre donations, dances and contribution boxes and the sum was expected to be increased to $4.000 when the proceeds of (e Sourdough Festival were reporied.

All tents, games, lotteries and booths furnished unlimited pleasure and drew large patronage. B. B. Neiding, superintendent cf the Eagle River mines, arrived in Juneau in the morning to attend to company business, Over two hundred enjoyed skat- ing on Sunday at the Boston Group pond. On Saturday night a num- ber of boys had borrowed a fire hose and flooded the pond. The resulting freeze produced a fine surface of ice. Plans were well in hand for the Belgian Relief entertainment to be given at the Treadwell Club the coming Friday night. It promised to be quite the biggest thing ever pulled off on the Island.
