Edward F. Mc- Grady, Assistant Secretary of Labor, is again on his way to the coast from Washington in an effort to avert a tie-up next Thursday when the 15-day truce expires. The Labor Department has declared it would do everything possible to see that Alaska is protected and report is current that it has pledged ftself to see that service is maintained to the Terri- Editor and Manager MPIRE | * nfer a favor if they will promptly notify the Business Office of any failure or irregularity in the delivery | il the past and probably will get them this time if the situation reaches that point. It will be recalled that during the longshore rike of a few years ago, special dispensation was .|g.ven by shipping companies and long- woremen Alaska-bound vessels in Ta- yma harbor, and as a result residents of the Terri- itory got their supplies as usual despite inconvenience. |1t is safe to predict that Alaska will not be cut off| .| this time no matter what the outcome on the coast.

La Follette was running as an Inde- | | pendent, there is serious taik of & deadlock In the clectoral college and the projection of the presiden- tial election into the House or representatives. Tha possibility of this unusual development still is not | great, the chief proponent of the idea being Mr. W liam Lemke. Mr. Lemke is a candidate for Pr dent, it will be recalled. For the House to choose a President, it is nec- essary that the electoral vote fail to show a majority or anyone. This has nothing to do with the popular vote. A number of Presidents have been elected with- lout a majority of popular votes.

It says: The threatened strike or lockout in Pa- cific ports may see every ship serving Alaska tled up. Such action would mean cracking down on Alaska in a way to suspend her mail, freight and passenger services. The matter is the most discussed of cur- rent Alaskan themes. Everyone in Alaska is vitally concerned, Governor Troy, Delegate Dimond and others are reported taking action to appeal to the government for an emergency service by the government aimed to exempt Alaska from utter isolation. The case of Alaska Gcse spectal consid- eration. Detached from the States, her chief source of supply, Alaska is not in the same ‘category as the States. Communities there have their land highways, railroad and motor car lines to maintain emergency services and bring in supplies to various communities when marine services are suspended. Not so Alaska. Suspend the ships and Alaska faces a siege. Foods and other essential supplies will cease coming and mails will be eliminated. Not only may Alaska expect to receive some measure of protection by a government emer- gency service in such a dilemma, but she may reasonably expect the federal powers to con- sider seriously the long mooted proposal to connect Alaska with the States with an inter- national highway, through airplane service between Alaska and the States, speeding up of Alaskan farm development programs—to help this territory achieve independence as to her food supplies in time of peace or war. Alaska deserves protection on these lines and she deserves special consideration from those in authority in the States and support in the States from every community and or- ganization, employer and employee in the States, all of whom are beneficiaries and thrive by virtue of Adska’s prosperity and patronage. Tt is true that Alaska’s patronage and prosperity s a benefit to the States and as a result reciprocity in time of emergency should rightfully be expected.

But he is counting his chickens long before they are hatched. There is no evidence from the straw votes or other sources that Mr. Lemke will win any state, even his own North Dakota, with its four electoral | votes. The chance of those four votes, if Mr. Lemke were to get them, preventing a majority in the elec- toral college is very slight indeed. And if the elec- tion were tossed into the lap of the House, the result could only be the reelection of Mr. Roosevelt on the first ballot. Mr. Lemke and his trainer, Father Coughlin, arc going to a lot of trouble, and they are entitled to some compensation in the form of happy dreams about their joint leadership at the White House. But they should not expeet the rest of us to take seriously thew lrI.ullm-umtiun.s of grandeu “ Economists Keep ailing” | (New York Times) In 1930 more than a thousand econcmists pe- titioned President Hoover not to raise the tariff. Mr. Hoover entirely ignored the petition and signed the Tariff Act of 1930 with its substantial increases in duties. Then, when the depression deepened, people began blaming the economists for it. They had |“failed.” The economists are still giving the same |advice. A committee of six of them, from six dif- ferent nations, and all with international reputa- tions, has just submitted a report to the Joint Com- mittee of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the International Chamber of Commerce urging that a general policy of less restriction and more trade initiated by the creditor nations “will ex- pand the world market even faster than the growth of ability to produce.” It is not the economists’ analy- sis that fails, but their ability to get it politically ac- cepted.
