equally blind not to appreciate at full value, and to wish to conserve for the uncertain years which lie immediately ahead, the unquesiioned confidence which Mr. Roosevelt enjoys among the distressed masses who have been the worst victims of the depression. These masses still acutely remember their disillusionment in pub- lic leadership in 1932, and have with reason felt that the President has tried to restore hope, equalize opportunity and prevent the excesses of the recent past. We believe that Mr. Roosevelt's defeat at the polls would enable the more radical elements within the Demo- cratic party to unite under irresponsible leadership which the force and ability of the President have hitherto helped to check and counterbalance. These adical elements would thereby be strengthened in their appeal to the masses. In this connection we prefer to have in Washington, during the still critical period which lies immediately ahead, a Government united in all‘its branches, with power to take instantly action which may become necessary in any emergency which may arise. The Re- publican party cannot give us such a Govern- ment. Even if Mr. Landon should be elected and the Republicans should carry the House of Representatives, the Senate will' remain Democratic because its present majority is too large to be reversed in 1936. A divided Con- gress during the next two years would threaten the country with precisely the same contra- diction of purpose and paralysis of will which proved to be so disastrous in 1931 and 1932. A further assurance against radicalism is the effectiveness of the social and economic measures pursued by the Democratic party, though often with fundamental error and raw materialism. We do not believe that these measures should be placzd in other hands at the behest of those who have not been the real - and chief victims of the malady, and who evolved or supported the policies which lie at the roots of its cause. Reform should be ad- ministered by those who vigorously and suc- cessfully proposed it, and the Democratic party stands in that relation to the public. In the administration of reform and the res- toration of the normal processes of an Ameri- can Government, there is urgent need for the restraining influence of the party’s conserva- iive wing. This, if the President is re-elected, will be more than ever active in the next Con- gress, where the Democratic membership in the House will probably be cut down. Finally, we believe that the narrow nation- alism for which the Republican party stands today is in itself a policy which, if put into force, would carry us rapidly in the direction both of ‘“regimentation” and ‘“radicalism.” It was the loss of foreign markets for our sur- plus farm commodities that was specifically responsible for the demand for crop control and a “planned economy” for agriculture, It is a loss of foreign markets for our factories that is responsible in large part for the indus- trial unemployment which still persists. The best antidote to both regimentation and dis- content is a revival of international trade, and the reciprocal treaties sponsored by the Presi- dent and negotiated by his able Secretary of State lead step by step in that direction. That way lies hope. The other leads to economic suicide behind a Hawley-Smoot tariff. Daily Alaska Empire ROBERT W.

ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION B ot = THE TIMES AND MR. ROOSEVELT National note has been taken that the New York| Times. an Independent Democratic newspaper, re-| cently endorsed the candidacy of President Roosevelt for re-election. The fact that the Times, a conser- ‘vative journal, took such a stand has aroused consid- erable comment, thus it may prove interesting to many to quote a major portion of the Times edi—‘ torial in which it points out why it has taken such a position. The New York paper said in its issue of Oc- | tober 1: Weighing what has been accomplished, what is now proposed and what uncertainties still lie ahead, The New York Times, a con- servative newspaper in its own sphere, believes that the public welfare will best be served this year by the continuance of the Democratic party in power and by the re-election of the President. Three considerations which we regerd as dominant in the circumstances have led us to this conclusion: First, we believe that Mr. Roosevelt is a keen enough judge of public opinion to make his second Administration more conservative than his first, in the sense that conservatism means consolidating ground already gained and perfecting measures hastily enacted. We believe this both because the tide of public opinion is now running with steadily increas- ing strength against hasty experimentation and because the President himself has moved definitely in this direction. It is sign.icant that most of the genuinely radical ideas spon- sored by the Roosevelt Administration, ideas which were radical in the sense that they de- parted abruptly from the American tradition —NRA and AAA, for example—were products of the panic period, when, as the personal ex- perience of Governor Landon testifies, many Republicans and' many conservatives hailed these very innovations as essential to the safety of the country. Second, not only do we believe that forces now operating strongly will tend to make the next Roosevelt Administration more conserva- tive, in the sense of conserving the best of what has been accomplished since 1933; we also believe that in a very fundamental way the President’s re-election will provide in- surance against radicalism of the sort which the United States has most to fear. We say | this for several reasons. | It would be blind not to recognize the nec- | essity of adapting and ameliorating our politi- cal and economic structure to the changing circumstances of the modern world, and HATS, HIGH AND BROWN President Roosevelt in opening his campaign in Syracuse on September 29 related this intriguing in- cident: In the summer of 1933, a nice old gentle- man, wearing a silk hat, fell off the end of a pier. He was unable to swim. A friend ran down to the pier, dived overboard and pulled him out, but the silk hat floated off with the tide. After the old gentleman had been resus- citated he was effusive in his thanks. He praised his friend for saving his life. Today, three years later, the old gentleman is berating his friend because the silk hat was lost. Three nights later speaking | Smith said: I have a high-hat.
