ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY QFHER PUBLICATION THE LEGION MARKS ANOTHER MILESTO Eighteen years ago today in Paris, France, a small group of men slid back their chairs and decided they | had completed the necessary initial steps for forma- tion of the American Legign. It was March 17, 1919.’ Among the Jmen in sthe group were *George White. head of the old Third Oregon which became a unit of the Rainbow Division; young Teddy Roosevelt, son | of the former President, then a Lieutenant Colonel; young Champ Clark, also the son of a famous Ameri- can, and now a United States Senator, and Franklin d'Olier, the Legion’s first Commander. There several others whose names escape us at the moment But on that day was born an organization which was to become one of the most potent forces in our national life. Back in this country, as the veterans streamed down the gangplanks in Hoboken and were sent back to their various homes about the country,'the man who takes the job he provides, but there has g the idea conceived in a French cafe grew by leaps and bounds. It was only a short time until Legion posts had sprung up in every hamlet in the land Today the Legion, boasts a membership of virtually a million men. There is an equully strong Auxiliary, and, as the years give a touch of gray to the hair of those eager-eyed lads who went overseas to come back men and veterans, there is growing the Sons of Legionnaires and the Junior Auxiliary, who some day will replace entirely the Legion and Auxiliary of today. Indeed, this organization is a mighty force the nation. It is the strongest force we have today carrying forward the thought of country, but at the same time it is one of the outstanding bulwarks against war and in the promotion of peace. The preamble of its constitution, conceived eighteen years ago, gives clearly in a few words th meaning of American Legion and the firm foundation on which it stands: For God and country, we associate our- selves together for the fcllowing purposes: ‘To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate a one hundred per cent Americanism; to preserve the memories and incidents of our associa- tion in the great war; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation; to combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and good will on earth; to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to mutual help- fulness. May that every future anniversary mark another step forward in carrying out the principles of that document inspired from the blood-stained fields of France. : in J. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN One of Great Britain’s outstanding statesmen and a world renowned figure has passed with the death of Sir Austen Chamberlain in London. Thwarted twice in attaining the ambition of his political career—leadership of the Conservative Party in England—J. Austen Chamberlain rose to greater heights of glory and honor as Foreign Secretary in the ' second government of Stanley Baldwin. Of all the statesmen who devoted themselves to European peace after the World War, Chamberlain evolved the plan regarded as providing the greatest degree of security and which eventually brought into being the Locarno treaties. His plan was a sequence of a security effort by the Assembly of the League of Nations, which be- came known as the Geneva protocol. This was dis- carded when it was rejected by Great Britain on the ground that, because of the extent of the British Empire, it would be unable to fulfill the guarantees of security imposed upon it by the protocol On March 24, 1925, Mr. Chamberlain informed the British Parliament that Great Britain would have nothing further to do with the wreckage of the Geneva protocol. Instead, it would se#k to build perifanent peace for Europe on another: foundation—a mutual | pact between Germany and dher. former enemies— | which would guarantee the, rontiér &f westerrt Firope against change and in whicli"Germany would renounce all idea of ever going te war to bring about alterations in her eastern borders as they were fixed after war. ‘The British Foreign Secretary entered into nego- Hations with Aristide Britand and Dr. Gustay Strese- mann, foreign ministers respectively of France and Germany. In them he found sympathetic proponents of his plan. The Locarno coni ‘rence then assembled and adopted the treaties France and Belgium agreed never to wage war upon each other, Great Britain and Italy signing as guaran- tors of the treaty. Others involving Germany, Po- Jand and Czechoslovakia were signed to guarantee peace on the eastern border In outlining his plans, Mr. Chamberlain also pro- vided for the election of Germany to membership in the League of Nations.

The Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph Austen Chamberlain Elwas born October 16, 1863, at Birmingham. He was the eldest son of Joseph Chamberlain, one of the statesmen of his time, and Harriet Kenrick Chamberlain. In 1906 he married Ivy Muriel Dundas, daughter of Colonel Hemry Lawrence Dundas They had two sons and a daugliter. Educated at Rugby School and Trinity College, Cam- bridge, Sir Austen later received honorary degrees from Oxford, Birmingham, Sheffield and Glasgow and | was elected lord rector of the last mamed university in 1925. 3 He began his political career in 1892° as Member of Parliament for the’ constituency of East Worgester- shire, which he répresented until 1914, ‘THestion hi father's death he was elected to his seat from the West Birmingham district. After a short apprentice as a private member he was made a civil lord of the Admiralty, serving from 1895 to 1900, then for two years as financial secretary of the treasury. A short term as postmaster general was followed by appointment as chancellor of the exchequer, which post he filled from 1903 to 1906. He was chairman of the Royal Commission on Indian finance and currency in 1913 and secretary of state for India from 1915 to 1917; member of the war cabinet in 1918; again chancellor of the exchequer from 1919 to 1921, and lord of the privy seal and der of the Conservatives in the Hbuse of Commons, 1922 ( | A bow to St. Patrick, who drove the snakes out of | Ireland.

And Employment Employers | 1 (Cincinnati Enquirer) The Detroit manufacturer who matched his em- | ployees sit-down strike with a down strike of his jown illustrated, somewhat humorously perhaps, a ‘poml which has been largely overlooked during the | recent wave of industrial disagreements. By sitting down himself, the Detroit capitalist ef- !fectively demonstrated to his employees that he has been working for them as well as tl for him. With- cut the orders he obtains, there is no work to be done. In this particular instance the point is more easil, discernible then in the case of a large corporalion ! where the relationship between employer and emp]oyee’ is less sharply defined, although of course, the prin- | ciple remains the same. It should seem obvious enough that the man who' provides a job is entitled to as much consideration as | { | been a marked distortion of attitude during much of the period of sit-down strikes. In many instances a villainous motive is ascribed | to the employer who protests that he cannot meet the‘ demands of his employees. The necessary interdepen- ! dence of employer and employee is lost sight of, in| many cases, and it is assumed that the provision of work is a sacred responsibility on the part of the em- ployer. Actually, of course, the employer may be in a worse predicament than his employees, for while they possess the strike weapon to enforce their demands he may be at the mercy of competitive conditions with. out any such weapons. In a broad sense, the consuming public timate employer of all—employing employe employees. The employer, like the employee, is but | a link in the chain of productiyn. Success Story York World-Telegram) Poor Richard and his fellow philosophers Wn\lld have delighted in a success story just published with | corroborating balance sheets. This enterprise began entirely without capital |but was run into huge profits almost overnight. The {method exemplifies all the copy book maxims and |proves them. Beginning with a superior product, the management saw the world beat a path to its door. !Their rule was shrewd merchandising, industry and |attention to business, frugality, avoidance of dissipa- {tion, no waste of time, voluminous advertising. It's as simple as that. | All these virtues and truths are summed up in ithe Dionne Quintuplets, and as a result they are {wealthy. Not yet three years old, they have gilt-edged |bonds worth $543,046, contracts already signed for (New {pects beyond that. Conservation to the Fore (New York Tuncsy It was a happy if obvious choice on the part of {the Rod and Gun Editors Association to select Presi- demnt Roosevelt as the recipient of its first annual award to the man who had done the most ior conser- vation during the past year. This is indeed sure |ground. There can be only praise for the broad and firm stand which the President has maintained for {the preservation, not merely of the mountains and forests, the rivers and the streams of America, but |of the beasts, birds and fishes which enrich our lands ,and waters and give so much of value, both material | {and esthetic. to the world of outdoors. Even while he was writing in acceptance and appreciation of the | |association’s award on Tuesday, Mr. Roosevelt gave ' evidence anew that he practices what he preaches with respect to conservation. He displayed at the ! |White House a bill from the State of New York lm‘f 26,000 Norway spruces, balsam and Douglas firs for |further reforestation at Hyde Park. Secretary Ickes has proved a forceful and enthusi- astic lieutenant to his chief in conservation policy. ! Before the editors he called it “the most pressing and vital domestic problem confronting our people |today * * * the transcendent concern of the human race so long as we have to depend upon this earth for our food, our clothing, our shelter and our pleasures.” And he touched upon a long series of measures enacted {during the last four years which have added to the public domain: begun and carried forward an attack on. soil erpsion, protected water supply and gugrded tand extended the forests. Wide extension of meds\gr tu)-plhlerl.“lld life in fur and feathers and to pi |stream pollution were also touched upon. On every hand there is evidence that the efforts Mr. Roosevelt and his aides toward true comser- vation are bearing fruit. The Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936 planted 460,000,000 young trees and seed- lings; and since its program was started in 1933 it has planted the huge total of 1,035000,000. A recent | report of the Forest Service shows that Chinese elms and other trees planted in the shelter-belt area in the Great Plains had attained a height of fifteen feet in two years, and that an average of 75 percent of the trees planted in shelter strips and farm wind- breaks in the Prairie States had survived last year’s drought. More game and better fishing in many scat- tered sections of the country further attest to the wisdom of conservation measures inaugurated by an Administration which is determined to permit no more exploitation or waste of our natural heritage. o | of > !transcontinental telephone, HAPPY BIRTHDAY The Empire extends congratula- | tiona and best wishes today, their | birthday anniversary, to the follow- ing: MARCH 17.
