The forces always battle for Imed the puny Ly Territory city officers were AN ALASK/ VIEWPOINT Many sentiments have been expressed about the recent election, but one of the most interesting and one which reveals the fair-mindedness of many Ala kans is found in the Kpu- 1kkan Chronicle. That news- paper, under the title “Tuesday's Election, History is a record of constant Lmngn- over the resistance of Yorces secure under existing systems. The election Tuesday is an epochal chapter in that history, for it shows conclu- sively that the American people have com- mitted themselves to rse that involves great change in our w} anner of conduct- ing life and business There is nothing commuonistic, nothing sinis- ter about thi ttitnde a The affirmation of the new deal is the affirmation of a program of human rights It is an affirmation of the Roosevelt policy of obtaining greater leisure for the common man, of providing him with recreational facilities, of giving him security in sickness and in health, in old age and in youth in employment and mployment. From the election, the forces which have re- sisted this gradual change must learn a lesson. The lesson has bheen recited beforce, countless times. It was cnacted in Greece, in Rome. It was enacted in Fr e. Tt was enacted in our own American revolution, in our own Civil war. Autocratic governments which resisted the desire for change 1 with crashes that re- tarded the march of civilization. But now we have a system-of government which is more pliable. 'T‘ht- human forces resisting change can on t such change. Then, as Tuesday, the people in orderly fashion can give their endorsement to the program which they most want. Just as the choice was expressed in orderly fashion Tuesday, so must the change take place gradually and in orderly fashion. All this does not mean that there should be a death of opposition. It there were, we should have a modern Italy or a modern Germany with their absence of individual liberty. But it does mean that the forces of opposition should be shaped off differently, that the op- position should be centered less on the end than on the means. VMNth this new mandate from the people, Mr. Roosevelt is not going to upset the United States. But he may reason- ably be expected to carry on toward the goals which he has so often Sighted in his public comments. With the election barely over. the adminis- I;, hinted that it will undertake n the corporation tax law which drew 50 much ln\ from the Republicans. That is only ible. The law as is stands defeats its own purposs There has been a hint too, of changes in the social securily law. That also sensible. Despite the partisan democr ims before the election, the so- cial security law as it stands provides a mini- mum of benefi a ma: in of cost. Op- position to the does not fmply opposition to social security, and with the fog of cam- paigning finally liftéd there is no reason why the subject cannot be discussed dispassion- ately and the law repaired ss circumstance demands President Rooseve is to he congratulated for the overwhelming endorsement he has re- ceived. He is trusted by the people. But he 1 it is to be hoped that his followers hat more than 16,000,000 voters 8till were hesitant enough to avoid eudorsing the New Deal. Mr. Rooseve!t has said that the rights of the minorities must be respeeted, and there is every reason to believe that in his next four years as President he will demon- strate his conviction b fusing to plunge into those radical, ovérnight changes which some enthusiastic theorists will demand of him. n r Roosevelt’s Re-election (New York World-Telegram) To Roosevelt now comes tihe opportunity of mak- | ing for himself onc of the few permanent places in history. From mow on it is a case of to have and to hold—but to hold Goese't mean being static. Tt means consolidation of gAins, &nd other gains to come.

So there is one thing on which we may count—the strain of holdmg w xIl be the severest sort of test of the tensile strengtir Roosevelt tness during the next four years. A4ad those years, under the tradition of our govern- {ment, will be his last in.the Presidency.

They cncompass not only the most important nation on the lobe in‘a transition period of vast moment, but also a whole world in ferment, a world with which our con=- tacts, by reason of a tremendous speeding up of com- raunieations, are becoming more intimate at an amaz- ing rate. Whether As for he s up to the magnitude of his |chance, a5 he has in his first four years, will be de- srmined, we believe, in a very large degree by whether e has within him that rare capacity to rise above (hose perfectly human impulses which prevent most reat men from attaining the full measure of their opportunity He entérs his second term in no such happy and jarmonjous environment characterized his first. |When he first took office the country was with him |unanimously.

And now he stands the victor whip in hand if he wants to use it Wwill he? he throw it down?
