He will win.” | The Laborite may be more than half right in his prediction that the King will win. Edward VIII is - |a popular chap not only in England but throughout the United Kingdom. The boys in the coal mines and |in the industrial centers don’t care a hoot who he marries so long as they get a chance to do an honest s work and make a living for their families. And it can't be overlooked that the commoners make up | the vast majority of the King’s subjects. y With the people back of him, it is very possible -| that Edward of Windsor will kick over the jolly old apple cart of tradition, marry whom he pleases and continue to sit on the throne in peace with the cheer | of most of his subjects in his ears. - At any rate, he's ished a campaigner of no mean ability. . Lloyd's are offering ten to one there will be no war in the next six months. We'll wait for a pre- diction from Jim Farley on his return from Ireland before placing any money. Speaking of plums, how about the job of guarding CAUSE TO BE PROUD The best evidence, of course, of how Juneau res- ponded in time of disaster may be found in the long list of donors to the city emergency fund which was published in yesterday’s Empir whole-hearted offering; the sort of thing which kindles man’s faith his fellow man. But ther in were other contributions in other forms which can|tions profitably not be listed personally due to their volume and the fact that many of such acts were overlooked in the excitement of the tragedy which struck this little city. An informal discussion at the City Council meet- ing last night, however, gives an idea of those con- tributors of valiant service in time of stress. One man, there probably were others, worked an eight-hour shift at the scene of disaster at night. Not one cent Would he take from the city for his efforts. “You don’t owe me anything,” he told the Mayor who asked for his time. Checking up on expenses, the Mayor asked for statement from the oil company for hauling gas and oil to service trucks on “There is no bill,” was the reply of the oil company. Many members of the city volunteer Fire Depart- ment took time off from their own private duties to work 18 hours and more at a stretch on the job. Under the usual procedure they are entitled to compensa- tion. Not one slip was turned in to the city for that service. which will never be brought to public attention Small wonder that a card of thanks appearing in The | Empire the other read: “And our hearts swell fervently with pride and thankfulness that citizen: this blessed humane day we are of land.” CAMPAIGNING FOR “WALLIE” Even being a King isn't all skittles and beer, it appears from the more recent romantic troubles that have come to rest on the shoulders of Edward VIII of Great Britain. The main difficulty seems to be that hangout of the dark ages in England which insists on class distinction; that antiquated and rapidly vanishing theory that some human beings are born with a special dispensation from the Al- mighty. In other words, the King can’t marry what they chose to term a Commoner in England because that person isn't to the purple born. It all seems a little silly in this reputedly enlightened age, but it's turning the presses in Fleet Street over at an un- precedented speed and giving the world a royal ro- mance to appease its ever curious appetite. The pompous old boys in flowing robes have been searching back in the archives to support their belief that the King can’t have his “Wallie” and the throne of the British Empire, too. But in the meantime, Edward VIII has been doing a little campaigning him- self, and jolly smart campaigning it is at that. The King has been around visiting the Thdustrial centers. He went down through the Welsh coal mines and deplored conditions as he found them among the workers. He lauded the miners for their “wonderful eyidence of spirit,”” and asserted “some kind of employment must be found” for those without work. About the same time some Laborite members of Parliament made some statements about the Min- isters and their alleged “active persecution” of the unemployed, while the King was getting a great big hand from the boys whe get out the coal. From the American political viewpoint, it appeared that the King was whipping up a little support from the English o f It was a generous, the job. | There are doubtless scores of other instances | S or &) MOTHER those sea otters on the ne discovered island?

Alternatives to War (New York Times) In his spirited address at-Rio de Janeiro, Secre- tary Hull emphasized the part which the Western Hemisphere might play in maintaining peace both at home and abroad. He expressed the hope that the Pan-American’ Congress at Buenos Aires, would strike a high note in its resolutions on this subje Treatics _for freer and reciprocal trade, the Sec added may be thought of as a preventive of war. When na exchange their products with each other, it is not easy for them to think of flying at each other’s throats. The argument might be put in another and stronger form. Into most modern wars the economic motive enters. A nation takes up arms because i seeks new raw materials for the manufacture of its own goods, and new markets for their sale. They look about for new territory to anneéx, or control, as a means of meeting the pressure of their own popu- lation, or providing products not domesticated in their own land. It would not be true to say that this profit motive is the cause of all wars, or the sole cause of any, but it can usually be detected as one of the |elements present in the outbreak or pursuit of hos- tilities. Here is where the trade alternative comes in. The money gains and industrial advantages of foreign commerce may far outweigh anything that can e won by force of arms. If war is to be dealt with on a | commercial basis. and a strict account kept of its profits and losses, the case against going to war bee comes stronger than ever. There can be little doubt, for example, that if a correct financial statement were to be given of Mussolini’s conquest of Ethiopia, it would show a heavy balance on the debit side for years to come. His ostensible objects could have been much more cheaply obtained by peaceful methods. When a victorious war is waged for econcmic reasons, it pro- ceeds by the method of Killing great many possible | foreign consumers, ruini then expecting a large and profitable demand for its |exported goods! If the cost of war is thus counted, | the contention that reciprocal trade is a preventive of | it might be strengthened by asserting that it is also the most fruitful alternative to war. Trade hath its victories no less than war.
