ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. “ODD AND EVEN NUMBERED YEARS The attraction Gov. Alf M. Landon held for Wil- liam Randolph Hearst that impelled the publisher to take his retinue of top talent to Topeka last winter| for final appraisal, is more than met the eye of the embarrassed Kansas City Star newsmen who went along to the Executive Mansion to make the intro- ductions. It should have been realized by a neutral observer that there existed between the two men a certain spiritual relationship. discernable to any save the uncomfortable member of the little coterie of Jayhawker journalists who had first sponsored the 18th, tive budget balancer of the state.

As the campaign mental qualities becomes progresses this similarity of more apparent. Recently the effort of Mr. Hearst to support the charge of Ogden L. Mills and' Col. the Roosevelt Administration has been to further| the ambitions of the Stalin regime in Russia has disclosed that, exactly as does Governor Landon, the publisher is a staunch supporter of public policies during even numbered years. There is a sameness in this trait that is peculia the property of the strong silenced man of Kansas and his liege lord of San Simeon. ., 7 u - For example, ledidnte Lnndon today abserts that | ¢ “planned economy is incompatible with the demo- eratic form of government. It must lead to ever in- creasing executive authority.” 1In 1933, as chairman of a petroleum conference in Washington, appointed by Secretary Ickes, Governor Landon sail “A com- pact between the states (which this year he advo- | cates) is an iridescent dream. In the end we must have the iron hand of a dictator.” And he then| insisted -upon a price-fixing provision in the oil code. Today Candidate Landon refers to the NRA s | an autocratic and alien philosophy of govemmcnu “foisted upon us in the misery of the depression by a Federal administration that used the emergency to absorb the powers of the states—an administration | that assumed we had suddenly outgrown American institutions.” But in the odd year, to be exact in July, 1933, Governor Landon telegraphed to Secretary Ickes: | “Federal control under present act (NRA), is our 01113" hope, and if we are to be protected it will be necessary for a dictator to exercise authority in the premises and fix allotment to states, also to pools within the states, also on storage withdrawal and imports.” Well, this is so like Mr. Hearst as to go some| distance toward explaining their affinity in the present crusade to defeat President Roosevelt and wreck his program for complete economic recovery. Illustrations are innumerable but a quite recent one may suffice. Recently the publisher issued one of his inimitable edicts which included this sentence: “Mr. Roosevelt compelled the recognition of the bloody dictatorship of Stalin in Moscow—a dictator- ship born in riot and revolution and sustained by murder and plunder.” But in the odd-numbered year of 1933, wherein ul that Landon now excoriates was by Governor Lan- don extolled as essential, Mr. Hearst proclaimed in| his New York American (Nov. 22): | “On the initiative of President Roosevelt, the | United States and Russia have at last resumed nor- mal relations on terms that are entirely honorable, | Frank Knox that the chief aim of | {Full service has been maintained during the depres- For the dollar bonds of political subdivisions and pri- | vate corporations, the record is not quite so good; but {is of value to both borrower and alender. | bench was the most important issue. bead on, and work out new patterns of life which conform to’ the realities of the time in which we liv They cut Vandenberg off the air, but after listen- ing to some of the rest of them we can’t quite figure oat why they picked on Vandenberg. Now everybody knows who that other man is who i~ running with Mr. Roosevelt. It's Mr. Garner who raade the speech Saturday night. A great many editors are going to suggest from row on that if a ‘fair sample of the speed attained by | Mr. Ekins was attempted by members of their forces their products would be superior. Foreign Lending (New York Times) In his address last week at Pittsburg, President | Roosevelt sharply criticized the foreign lending which vas practiced on so large a scale by American investors during the years before the depression. Billions of | dollars were sent abroad, he said, and the money so Ioaned was used “for increasing foreign armaments, for building foreign factories to compete with us, for bailding foreign model dwellings, swimming pools and siaughter houses, for giving employment to the foreign unemployed—for foreign boon-doggling, if you will.” | To this he added: “Those dollars were just as good American money, just as hard-earned, just as much the reward of our thrift, as the dollars we have spent at home giving vork to the upemployed. Most of those ‘dollars sent ebroad are gone for good.” This description of the method and result cf foreign lending is incomplete and inaccurate in two 1cspects. In the first place, while some of our loans were undoubtedly used for armaments and some for “foreign boon-doggling,” many others were devotei to the development of useful and self-supporting en- terprises. In the second place, it is not a fact that “most” of the dollars sent abroad are “gone for good.” sion on 64 per cent of the dollar bonds of foreign gov- | exnments; partial service on 21 per cent, and on only | 15 per cent has payment been completely suspended. it is worth while to remember, in this connection, that defaults have occurred frequently in the case of boncs | of domestic municipalities and corporations. It must be berne in mind, in addition, that the fact that a foreign bond is in default does not necessarily mean that interest on it may not be resumed, as business improves abroad, or that the entire principal of the bond has been lost. There is nothing inherently evil or mistaken in | the practice of foreign lending. Rightly managed, it Tt facilitates the orderly development of new and backward coun- tries. It furnishes an outlet for the surplus funds ot creditor nations. It creates new markets for the lender, by increasing the ability of the borrower to buy his goods. What was wrong with the process, as developed in this country during the pre-depressio decade, was the fact that individual loans were fre- | quently unwisely made and the further fact that the United States, playing a new role of creditor in the |Smith is related to Helen.” HAPPY. *f BIRTHDAY Horoscope || 20 YEARSAGO STOCK UP NOW The Empire extends :xmgratula-i i han tions and best wishes today, their f e From e Empire 1 birthday anniversary, to the follow-| | ‘“The stars incline Pl Hi BEFORE THE COLD WEATHER ing: | but do not compel” TR, | OCTOBER 20, 1916 OCTOBER 20 i ——————*| Senator Sulzer masterfully pre- A COAL FOR EVERY PURSE Mrs. Garrett W.

On this last score Mr. Roose- | velt couded bring a strong indictment against the policy | of successive Republican Administrations. \ The Supreme Court (New York World Telegram) The Supreme Court is an important but little digcussed issue of the Presidential campaign. This is too bad, for discussion might throw light on this | most powerful court in the world, and its place in our government. The court’s nine Justices vote secretly but de- cisively many times a year on what manner of gov- ernment we are to have, and this year its docket has an increased volume of big cases. In four issues alone the court’s decisions may have as profound an effect as, the Presidential elec- tion on our future well being. One is the Wagner Labor Relations act, brought before the court in a half-dozen cases involving va ous industries and applications of the law passed by Congress to insure labor’s freedom to organize. The other three involve basic powers of the States. Minimum wage laws are on the chopping-block on which New York's law was killed last June by a ! 5-to-4 vote. One is a petition for rehearing of the New York case, and another case involves a Wash- ington State law. A State’s authority to enact unemployment in- surance legislation, vital to the Social Security act plan and equally vital to the independent State action suggested by Governor Landon, is challenged in three cases from New York. The right of a State to enact fair trade laws is attacked in several cases on the present docket. Tue late William H. Taft in 1920 issued an appeal for election of the Republican Presidential nominee, Warren Harding, asserting that the quality of- the appointments to expected vacancies on the Supreme Harding’s ap- pointees, Sutherland and Butler, have held the bal- ance of power against the New Deal. They helped defeat the State minimum wage law last term ani they are in a position to repeat this term. ! Women and Business (Rotarian Magazine) Women will become increasingly important as the great buyers of the nation. The housewife's purse is the cornerstone on which the American system rests. It is'the field of retail purchasing that women mutually advantageous and in harmony with ‘a happy tradition of friendship.. As the Hearst newspapers, | in their long advocacy of the restoration of friendly relations with Russia have repeatedly pointed out, friendly political relations promote trade relations ' and trade relations, when maintained on a fair basis, promote friendly political relations.” Alice Roosgvelt Longwafl.h in Ladiés Home Journal for July, 1935— “Another name mentioned is that of Governor Landon of Kansas * * * His friends * * * tell you to| keep an eye on Landon and recite his qualifications, his availability for the nomination. But when you get one of these friends into a corner for a private | conversation he will assert that Governor Landon is| splendid Vice-Presidential timber.” Dorothy Thompson (Mrs. Sinclair Lewis) in the| Republican New York Herald-Tribune September 16, | 1936— “If one tries with the most honest, objective and even anxious thought, to analyze the impression that Landon is creating, it is the impression of timidity, ot apprehension of the future, of taking cover under old formulas and-old procedures.
