It was the people who stuck developed resources to support it that brought about a star in the Union of States. Alaska is no exception 1t is the people who live in Alaska; stay in the country and develop it; it resources to create new re- sources; think of Alaska in terms of ultimate state- hood who will force Alaska to the final goal. Alaska self-supporting. In other words, use isn't it an’t raise sufficient revenues within its own borders to support a state government. It's the tail of the kite ind has to look to Washington for succor. But it joesn’t need to be in that shape forever, as the Sec- retary pointed out, if Alaskans will point in the right and try to become self-supporting.

Lewis of the CIO has been criticized—we believe with reason—for declining to permit his or- ganization to cooperate in the study of foreign labor relations for which President Roosevelt appointed a commission early in the summer. This commission, on which are representatives of the public, of em- ployers and of the American Federation of Labor, has | completed its investigation in Great Britain and is now making a similar study in Sweden A CIO news organ now defends Lewis’ position by declaring that the Roosevelt commission was the ‘brain child” of Tom M. Girdler, chairman 6f Repub- lic Steel, the apparent implication being that anything | bearing the Girdler name is inimical to labor. A spokesman for Republic denies that the idea was | Girdler's. But that does not alter its merit. We thought at the time it was announced—and we think now—that it is a good idea. There is much in the picture of labor relations in Britain and Sweden which merits the study of both the Girdler and the Lewis wings of American industrialism. On the one hand Britain, in the light of her experience, has put curbs on labor violence and irresponsible unionism. 1In the light of the same experience she has so widely adopted collective bar- gaining through strong union organization that this is now taken as a matter of course in British labor relations. It is always dangerous to argue that what works well in one country or community would necessarily | be the best pattern for another. One doubts if the British labor setup would be practical today, in all its details, for America. In this connection, it is important to remember Britain is a genera n ahead of America in many forms of social legislation. Practices and laws which, if suggested here, would turn the hair of many conservatives, have the hearty support of the British Tories. They have found they work well. It is pro- bable that over the years American social and labor legislation will follow the British pattern in increasing degree. Meanwhile, when the Roosevelt commission makes its report, we trust Messrs. Girdler and Lewis will give it a careful study. They can both learn some- that thing.
