ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED To BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION | HERE'S A TEMPOR \R\ OPENING The Republicans may not have much of a candi- date so far but it begins to look as if the Grand Old | Party will soon be able to go out in the job market | and get themselves a first rate hand if an adequate campaign pool is a criterion. The other day Henry P. Fletcher, G. O. P. National Chariman, announced he had chosen the men for the finance committee to make up the pot and the names read like a blue book of what has become known as “big business.” Heading the boys who find the New Deal cramps | their style because it gives the average citizen a “break” is William Brown Bell, head of the largest chemical manufacturing concern in the country. Mr. Bell says he is a “rank amateur in politics,” but one can only marvel while glancing over the list of those | who will serve with him in raising the cash to beat | the Democrats. They are Charles Francis Adams,| Secretary of the Navy in the Hoover regime; Wallace | McKinney Alexander, San Francisco sugar and ship-| ping magnate; Sewell Lee Avery, President of a mail | order house; Charles B. Goodspeed, steel executive; | Joseph Newton Pew, Jr., oil baron; Herbert Lee Pratt, another oil king; Andrew Wells Robertson, elec- trical manufacturer; Edward Larned Ryerson, Jr., steel and iron; Alfred Lee Shapleigh, hardware, and | Ernest Tener Weir, steel. There’s a golden opportunity for a bright young‘ man with political ambitions who doesn't ob]ecti to directing his efforts along special interest lines. It’s a chance for a nice ride, but the aspirant should | be warned it probably won't end going up Pennsyl- | vapia Avenue to the White House. | PROTECTING INVESTORS News dispatches carry the information that charges of criminal stock manipulation have been filed by the Securities Commission against a veteran Wall Street operator. This Commission, created by the Democratic administration as a guard against| unserupulous traders fleecing the honest but unwary | speculators, has been the subject of bitter attack by | those few who felt the market should be allowed to operate high, wide and handsome with the investors' looked upon more as “suckers” than honest buyers attempting to get a fair return on their money in safe securities. There is no intention here to determine the guilt or innocence of the trader involved in the present case. It may well be that the operator is entirely | blameless of the charges placed against him. The point is that flagrant manipulation of stocks during the so-called boom days was in large measure re- sponsible for putting this nation flat on its back and it was to prevent if possible a repetition of such tac- tics that the Securities Commission was created. Wall Street, as the general public has come to | fort. [ view it, may or may not be the big, bad wolf, but the fact is that money from every hamlet in this land pours into it, directly or indirectly. Every person who pays an insurance premium, for example, is a market investor, for the insurance companies must have returns on their money if they are to exist and much of their funds goes into sound securities and bonds. Thus the value of an authoritative body such as the Commission is readily seen. If the honest traders making up the stock ex- change, and there are many of them, are unable to cope with the situation, which was rather clearly indicated, during the 1929 debacle, then, surely, it is the duty of governmental authority to step in on behalf of the millions of stockholders of this.country That is exactly the purpose of the Commission. Can it be that these student strikes are the result of sparing the rod and spoiling the child? Why not take a little time off and accept the in- vitation of Juneau merchants to get your shopping |' | done now instead of waiting until a day or two before Christmas. Great Britain announces again she won't be able to pay her war debt. Where are those mis-guided souls who advocate war as the high road to prosperity? Imperialism in Reverse. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The little, defenseless, impoverished Common- wealth of the Philippines, a pigmy freed in the midst of bitter world rivalries, has been launched on the long, rough road to independence. The de- cision to free the Philippines was not reached by | the ‘American people or the Filipinos, of course. Sentiment in America was against the Independ- ence Act. Sentiment in the Philippines was for | independence, though not on America's onerous terms. The act which starts the Islands toward the zeal to shut their “freedom” was inspired largely by of various commercial interests in America the Islands out of the American market. This is a patent case of imperialism in reverse. In the past nations have reached out and grabbed territories for the benefit of powerful interests at home. In this curious case the American Govern- ent—after enabling the Filipinos to double in population by free access to our vast market for copra and sugar—has turned the Islands loose in order to appease the groups here who found the competition from Manila too keen for their com- ‘Whether it means grabbing land or alienat- ing it, imperialism in the interest of special groups is not sound policy, or just. There is no turning back now. The Philippines are organized to govern themselves. But we can, | and should, proceed to deal honestly with the people who for more than a generation were under our flag. We should first enact the Guffey-Dockweiler bill, which would open our ports to Philippine copra and coconut oil, and thereby save one of the Itwo chief industries of the Islands from complete collapse Then we should revise cur projected tariff | bargain with the Philippines, enabling them to con- tinue selling here on reasonable terms. Finally, we! should prepare to negotiate a multi-lateral treaty, with the approval of the Filipinos, that would com- mit Japan and Britain to noninterference with the infant nation. When those things are done, we shall have begun, at least, to fulfill the obligation we assumed | in 1898, when we raised the American flag at Manila. A Republican Dilemma (Springfield Renublican) 1In 1908 Theodore Roosevelt's position was summed up in his informal warning: “If they don’t take Taft, they’ll have to take me.” As 1935 rolls into 1936, Borah's position seems to be, “If they wont take a Progressive and if they threaten to take Hoover or some one whom Hoover approves, they might as well make up their minds now that they may have to take Borah.” Whether the Senator can translate this proscrip- tion of Mr. Hoover and those who stand with him inte definite action by the convention is now one of the ugestions which confronts the Republican party.

It is stated the land in Ethiopia is so poor that an umbrella and hell is all that can be raised on it. ~—Jacksonville Times-Union.
