ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION With the two big conventions but a matter of days away, political interest appears to settle around the widely heralded uninstructed delegations. Ps ticularly is this true in Cleveland where contest for the nomination is in prospect. From all indications the first ballot at Philadelphia, the gathering place of the Democrats on June 23, will go for Ro().&ev(‘ll.l But things are different in Cleveland where the badly split up Republican forces are due to trot out their best. There the uninstructed delegates are expected to play the deciding roll, Some where in the dim, forgotten past it was a | theory that an uninstructed delegation meant the | delegates would use their best judgment and nomm-" ate the candidate who would be most acceptable to most of the people. But that idea has long ago been exploded. There are delegates no doubt who would, | if given an opportunity, decide on candidates solely on their merits, but, of course, those delegates are first timers and not well acquainted with convention | | procedure, In Cleveland it is going to be a different story, and as the Plain Dealer of that city says, as it awaits the arrival of the G. O. P. crowd on June 9, the lineup of uninstructed delegations bodes well for Governor Landon of Kansas, but that simply means the bosses as usual will dec¢ide on the candidate. Com- menting on the setup, the Plain Dealer says: Alfred M. Landon appears at the moment the probable Cleveland nominee, though there are plenty of possibilities ahead which might wreck his craft. If the Governor is named, however, he will owe his success nol to Lan- don-instructed delegates but to the several hundred “uninstructed” delegates—delegates uninstructed because the party bosses wanted them uninstructed. Thus the Presidential primary, devised to curb the influence of party bosses, is made to play into the bosses’ own hands. Com- paratively few of the nearly 600 delegates already chosen are actually instructed for Landon. The rest, comprising delegates claimed for Landon but uninstructed for him, will be voted at Cleveland as the leaders of the party see fit. At the moment they are expected to see fit to vote them for the Kansas Governor. Obviously, if the Presidential primary is ever to meet the hopes of those who devised it, there must be an end of the “uninstructed” delegation. Voters must express their real preference for President and Vice President, and be restrained somehow from abdicating their authority. AIDING AMERICAN INDUSTRY From all developments thus far, it appears that those who jumped to the conclusion that the Admin- istration’s new Soil Conservation Program is merely the old AAA in disguise have guessed wrong. In the first place, the new program does not contemplate any minimum diversion of crop land from soil-depleting crops to soil conserving or soil- building crops. Moreover, Secretary Wallace has announced that farmers shall be paid only if they actually divert their land from soil-depleting to soil-conserving or soil-building crops, and if they actually build their soil. To an unbiased observer, this is soil conserva- tion in fact. Wouldn't it be well for the sbeial order in general if all of us were a little slower to believe that politics | or some other hidden motive was the mainspring | behind movements that their face are for the common good? One reason for government is that it alone, in many instances, is capable of the effort necessary to carry out such programs for the interest | of us all as does the program for the conservation ot our most precious heritage—the soil At the very moment partisans were calling the new farm program a “subterfuge,” the ferocity of floods was a grim warning that a careful and long- time plan for the care of our soil and forests is im- perative. It has too often been overlooked that one of the | objectives of the old Agricultural Adjustment Act| was the conservation of soil resources. Critics, in| their eagerness to discredit the Administration, de- | liberately subordinaied or entirely obscured this ob- jective and the accomplishments under it. These| critics have failed to give credit to the AAA for| already having increased by more than twenty-two millions the acreage of crop land devoted to the cul- tivation of erosion-preventing and soil-conserving crops. There may be need for minor alterations in the new farm program; for improvements; for adminis- trative flexibility. But in view of the lesson of the on -floods and the dust storms, the necessity for the pro- gram should be taken for granted. A sound structure | can be built with that premise as a starting point and if, as an indirect result of such a plan there should be a prevention of a return of those burdensoine surpluses that brought starvation prices for farm products, would not that give the program added value both for the American farmer and American industry? SRR S ! Report of the “black legion” in Detroit indicates there’s another job for the G-Men in the Michigan city. They seem to take their politics seriously down in Washington State. The Republicans featured their convention at Spokane with a fist fight, and now the Democrats at Aberdeen stay up all night. There’s some welcome babies coming to the homes of veterans here around June 15. The only changing necessary will be at the post office. Automatic Landing (New York Times) Few of the passengers of an airplane realize the responsibility thrown on the pilot during the crucial moment of landing, especially at night or in a fog. Once he has picked up the radio beacon of an air- port he must keep a vigilant eye on at least seven purely navigational instruments which indicate air speed, altitude, rate of descent, position relatively to the radio beam and the like. Hence the research which has been conducted here and abroad during the last ten years to lighten the human task and make it possible to bring the plane down automatically. That the problem should at last have been solved, ac- cording to a dispatch from Chicago, is welcome news. Safer air travel is the obvious end achieved. Yet it would be a mistake to suppose that blind landing has at last been reduced to complete auto- maticity. Indeed, it is doubtful if that goal will ever be achieved—whether it is desirable to achieve it. The new gyroscopic robot becomes part of the two most important instruments as an aitport is approached— the directional gyro compass and the artificial hori zon; the others must still be watched by the human eye. ' How little are we able to foresee the needs of to- morrow when the inventors have their way! Just about a generation ago the Wrights vaulted into the blue without any instruments at all—delighted at| leaving the ground. Gyroscopes and pendulums were soon proposed to keep a plane on an even keel in flight and thus to make flying less the virtuoso per- | Altitude and speed But that some day | formance that it was at the time. meters early became necessities. instrument boards would present so bewildering array of indicators that one pair of human eyes could not encompass them all and that artificial senses would have to be devised to aid a pilot—the pioneers never imagined that. Yet it is all a natural evolution. The airplane is becoming more and more bird-like. And birds are not the simplest mechanisms in the world.

Helen Moder ‘and will | convention was: 20 YEARS AGO From The Empire MAY 26, 1916. Included in the platform adopt- ed by the Democratic party which was in session at a Territorial “We demand that Pinchotism be banished from the Territory.” The paramount issue between the Democratic party on the one side and Delegate Wick- ersham and the Republican party on the other, relates to the ques- tion of whether Alaska shall be conserved and Pinchotized, or thrown open to settlement and de- velopment. Also of much interest was the most urgent need felt for enlargement of the powers of the Alaska Legislature and the enact- ment by law by Congress granting Alaska full Territorial form of gov- ernment On the ticket nominated at the Democratic convention was Dele- gate to Congress, Charles A. Sulzer; Attorney-General, George B, Grigs- by of Nome; and National Com- mitteeman, Thomas J. Donohoe of Valdez. The French were holding the Germans in the vicinity of Ver- dun.
