ANTEED TO BE LARGER PUBLICATION ALABKA C\RCULATION GU THAN THAT OF DEFEAT OF THE REOR( BIL l, TANIZATION The widely heralded reorganization bill has gone down to defeat by the narrow margin of eight votes After countless efforts to amend and change during the weeks the controversy over the measure waxed hot, the House late yesterday delivered the final knockout punch, voting it down 204 to 196. The action while nqt entirely unexpected is a little unusual in vlew of the approval which had been placed on the bill by the Senate previously after a bitter fight, for it is the Senate that has gained the reputation for adverse action in this administration rather than the House t will make much , it would appear While opponents of the Preside of it as a defeat for the New L to be more of a victory for departments in the gov- ernment which would have been affected under the plan than a direct verdict by the rank and file of American people against administration. probable that a popular vote on such a proposal for the the It would have resulted in a much different verdict, the rank and file of the voters are not public oifice hoiders. Bui this was a baftle of the government job holders. At le three departments—Department of Education, Veterans' Bureau and Forest Service were to be directly affected under the reorganization bill. The Veterans' Bureau i esentative of a powerful group, so arc the De et b Eatination and the Forest Service. Naturally enough, not kno ing exactly what their fate might be these departments were aroused to fever heat age t the measure. In one day it was reported that 45,000 telegrams poured into members of the House protesting passage of the bill. It wouldn't be diffieult to rustle 45,000 messages from among the three departments above named, not perhaps that all of them were directed from those sources., However, a fair percentage would mean a terrific pressure on Cengressmen, especially those who are up for re-election The entirely unfounded assertion was made that passage of the bill meant a step toward dictatorship. Defeat of the measure reveals that danger of dictator- ship lies not so much in giving broad powers to the Chief Executive who is responsible to the people and subject to their verdict every four years, but rather in the great political strength which grows in huge departments of government which are made up of career men and women and political appointees not directly dependent on popular approval. The political appointees are valuable to the Congressman. They mean patronage, and it is a fairly difficult thought to a Congressman to vote away a portion of his patron- age, which he woulé have been doing under the reorganization bill. SPEEDY AC] COA 10N ESSENTIAL ON "l' \lR MAIL Delegate Dimond reports that he is attempting to get the Budget Board to include funds in the De- ficiency bill to improve hangars at Boeing Field, Seattle, for accommodation of Pacific Alaska Airways planes which expect to operate between Seattle and Juneau, connecting with the PAA service from here to the Interior. As the Delegate is stressing in Washington, speedy action on the proposed regular air mail and passenger service from Seattle is vitally important at this time. Just the other day the Northwest Airways made appli- cation at Ottawa for permit to operate planes between HAPPY. BIRTHDAY The Empire extends commtum- Vancouver, B. O, and Dawson, which would amount 10, 1ions and. best wislies foday,their virtually a rival Canadian service. Of course, com petitive service over the route may be anticipated but an American service established first can mean the difference belween it being a success and just "another mail and passenger line.

A new theme of conversation now will be Mexico. Here the labeling is bound to be a shot in the dark, and President Cardenas will be variously described as Communist, Fascist, and merely a dictator. But| Mexico is Mexico, and no label fits. There are ele- ments of Socialism and Fascism, with a strong in- fusion of plain, old-fashioned natio; sm—in the form of antiforeignism.
