LITTLE MERICANS As one peruses again adopted at Cleveland, the Republican platform , the lack of vision on the part of those who wrote it is more and more revealed. True, it did show some signs of keeping abreast of a rapidly changing condition in our country by leaning in part if not from toward openly ac policies. But an economic standpoint woefully lacking in foresight, and, as the Times puts it, “reacuionary to the extreme.” it cepting, New Deal was New York It will be of interest to those who are following closely the political destiny of the two parties to read further comment of the Times. It states: If carried out according to its promises, condemn the nt ex‘stence, to a lescened ‘nstead HTTH R oV MmTID 5 BN L ND ' ® P a LEASE United States to a shrunk Inlet, tions to handle 200 pups. room house, electric lights, power feed grinder, [ ‘a7 breeding fine property at Excursion production, of expanding and to a lower standard of living Such results ‘would surely follow'dif the policies urged in the platform were to be fol- lowed. They are, in effect, policies of non- intercourse, whether commercial, financial or political. The already high tariff is to be made higher. The American market is to be reserved exclusively for Americans. Every pound of beef or butter or cheese that comes from abroad into this country is to be thought of as a wicked invader of our sacred preserve, and is hereafter to be excluded by every de- vice of law and discrimination. The act under which Secretary Hull has negotiated recipro- cal trade treaties is to be repealed forthwith although for many years reciprocity in trade has been a good Republican doctrine en- shrined and lauded in many platforms of the party. In theory, if not in practice, this would put the nation in the attitude of saying coldly to every other: “Do not try to send any of your goods to this country, for we shall buy nothing of you that we can possibly pro- duce ourselves.” To pile one ‘absurdity the upon_another, Republican platform ‘ pledges itself to collect by the debts owed our Treasury foreign na< tions tion for having made no serious effort to do this. But what could a Republican Adminis- tration do? It would have set up a system by which our debtors were forbidden to pay us anything, even on account, in the only way possible. There has recently been some faint evidence in France and England of the desire to open negotiations with the United States regarding the debt settlement This was generally traced to the better feeling and to the prospect of more normal commercial rela- tions, created by ‘the intelligent and persistent efforts of Secretary Hull to start international trade flowing again, if only at first on a small scale. But now the Republicans would wipe all this out, at the same time that they would brand our debtors as shameless delinquents unless they did the impossible thing of paying up at once. This is high protection and in- flated nationalism with a touch of mid- summer madness upon them. The Republican platform does not appre- ciate the distinction between being self- governed and self-contained. Of course, we make our own laws and allow no other nation to dictate a policy to us. But this does not mean that we can stand alone on the earth as if no others existed and as if we could maintain ourselves in comfort and happiness though completely isolated. We cannot for- get what the industrial revolution has meant for the world. We cannot overlook the im- mense expansion of our capacities for pro- duction and for manufacturing, far beyond the consuming power of our’own people. Un- less we can enter into trading agreements with foreign nations and find an outlet for our varied surpluses in markets abroad we shall inevitably find ourselves shut into a cramped country, fit perhaps for the residence of Little Americans, but wholly unlike the United. States with a great and growing world trade which we were, rapidly becoming a few years ago It is in keeping with this proposed policy of commercial and industrial aloofness that the Republican platform turns its back on inter- national cooperation. Not content with ban- ning the League of Nations, it declared against our adherence to the World Court, al- though this has been recommended by three Republican Presidents and once voted, with reservations, by a Republican Senate. The whole plan and picture of the platform- builders is, in the matters referred to, not merely provineial but paroehial. It is out of touch with realities. It ignores the past and shuts its eyes to the future.

There was to be a marathon on the morning of the Fourth of July, according to a report made by the Sports Committee, from Thane to Juneau with a prize of $20 and $10. Prizes for the hose race were an- nounced as $100 for first and $75 for second The various committees for the Douglas Fourth celebration had completed their arrangements and announced the events and prizes. The first contest, to be held in Treadwell on the evening of the third of July, was a double hand- drilling contest with a prize of $150 to be awarded. A first aid contest was to be held the next morning with the winner receiving $120.

According to astrol- ogy the stars encourage ambitious enterprises of many sorts. Under this configuration new leaders in business and politics will gain supporters. Youth is to be militant and to achieve results in many fields of activity. For recent university graduates there is promise of extraordinary op- portunities in many foreign posts. As European war clouds menace, Americans abroad will bear varied responsibilities. This is a time that should be prof- itable for lawyers, scholars and men of commanding intelligence. Orators will be in extraordinary demand in advocating national issues. Women will organize widely in| peace movements and will distribute ; propaganda that will have tempor- ary interest, but warning is given | that there will be a recurrence of | the usual war excitement.
