The increase in population in 1930 was 7.7 per- cent over 1920 and the white population at that time was listed at 28,640 with Indians 29,983 and others 655. 1t is probably that the increase as the forthcoming census is taken will be mostly in white population and it can very well be double what it was 10 years ago. WHAT A H{l'l' PRESS MEANS TO AMERICANS American newspapers and some of Most of us take our freedom of the press as a matter of course; us even curse them soundly when we don’t happen to agree with what they say. But the fact remains that the American people always are well informed the result of them, and that sacred principle of free- dom of the press. as What a contrast can be found in dictator-ruled | countries. A glimpse into Germany during the recent Czechoslovakia emergency typical. Frederick T. Birchall, who reports on affairs in Berlin for the New York Times, brings it out in interesting style in a recent dispatch from the German capital as the cli- max was reached in the Czech controversy. Writes Mr. Birchall: All the British correspondents, including journalists of British nationality, were un- officially warned to get out quickly while the getting out was easy. A group of them were standing on the platform at the Fried- richstrasse Station waiting for the night e: presses to Belgium and Holland. They were exchanging experiences. “What did you do about your and furniture?” “I just turned the key and If I come back, well and good; well"— A German passed the group mbled ba ge with is apartment walked out. if T don't, woman and her daughter and gazed curiously at the its labels from all over the world. The daughter plucked her mother’s sleeve, “Look, mother, the English are getting out,” she is war.” T} 2 horror-stricken glance by the mothe spor Then she said: b - | my dear. Don't talk. Let's go home.’ It was typical of the deep ignorance of the German people as to what was really going on. But knowledge was slowly seeping in, and the people were appalied by the pros- pect. They had known only that Czechoslo- vakia was being told to let the Sudeten Ger- mans “come home” or face the consequenc That seemed quite natural and not very dreadful. As for resistz what was Czech- cslovakia? For the German Army is would be a simple parade with a few shots fired. Of the rising tide of outside world opinion and anti-German truculence, they knew nothing. President Roosevelt's two appeals and the Puehrer's answer to the first had gone wypublished. No word had been printed regarding Prime Minister Neville Chamber- lain’s offer of a British guarantee that Czecho- slovakia would fulfill her acceptance of the se- cession if the German Army were kept from ‘advancfg. Control of the press was com- plete. But two hours before that assembly of the outgoing in the raflway station there had ce rattled, unexpected and unannounced, through | Unter den Linden, down Wilhelmstrasse, a long train of motorized anti-aircraft troops and equipment on the way to take up posi- tions around Berlin Herr Hitler apparently had been waiting it, for as its vanguard came down the but do not compel” eet he appeared on his balcony with his I & |birthday anniversary, to the follow-| three adjutants—army, navy and air force— : ling: in attendance.

The major crime of dictatorship is the promotion ignorance. Only through it can such figures Mussolini, Stalin and their kind thrive of Hitler, as Mr. Dewey (New Y\ For one important reason it is a matter of regret that Thomas E. Dewey has accepted the nomination for Governor which the State convention of his party 50 enthusi; ally offered him. He was elected only last November to a four-year term as District Attor: ney of New York County. He is a prosecutor of ex- ceptional ability. And a country in which graft and racketeering have long flourished needs the serv- ices of such a prosecutor. It cannot be believed that the conditions which Mr. Dewey himself described so Times) vividly and so accurately in his campaign speeches of last year have been corrected completely in the course of the nine months which have elapsed since took office. We are, however, confronted with a fact and not a theory. Mr. Dewey has accepted a nomination and an opportunity which few would be able to resist, and the question of his ability to fill competently the new and higher office to which he aspires is now of more importance than regrets for his leaving a post he for which he was ideally suited. Of that leaving, it can only be said that Mr. Dewey would have hown better judgment had he announced at once, and not deferred until next January, his resignation 1s District Attorney. Neither as a successful candi- date for Governor, nor as a defeated candidate, would he be in a proper position to retry the Hines case after the election. It is scarcely fair to say, as some may say in criti- cism of his present candidacy, that he lacks experien e in the management of State affairs. Other men, lack- ing the same experience, have made excellent Gover- nors. It is a matter ‘of more moment that his ex- tremely active career as a prosecutor has given him little opportunity to familiarize himself with the prob- lems he would be called upon to solve as Governor, asi from those arising in the important field of crimina! law and criminal prosecutions, and that so far as the general public concerned he has not made known his position regarding a large number of social, economic, financial and administrative questions. There will be time, however, for him to clarify his views on many of these questions as the campaign proceeds. thing of an enigma, so far as State issues are con- cerned, it can also be said that he is certainly no enigma whatever when it comes to matters of char- acter and natural ability. honor. He has youth on his side. He is utterly fear- less. He has tremendous energy and an exceptional ability to apply himself to whatever task he finds at hand. He is capable of taking good advice, and has the great advantage of having good advisers. Learning From Sweden w York World-Telegram) The t's Special Commission has now reported on how employers and employees get along in Sweden. Like the commission’s previous report on Great Britain, this one contains many good pointers ‘ror American management, unions and government. The Swedes, like the British, have learned how. They outgrew bilious class-consciousness and hatred long ago. Employel employees are both organ- ized on a nation-wide basis and representatives of the two groups deal respectfully with each other, under a benign supervision of government and with all the | parties alert to the truth that they gain more through | cooperation than strife, | The report tells of some Swedish laws which our | Congress and State legislatures might well consider, | such as the one which prohibits strikes or lockouts in connection with any dispute over the validity of | to | a written collective-bargaining whether a particular act constitutes an in fringe- ment of the contract. When unions and ment can’t mediate such an incidental dispute as that they are required to submit it to a labor court for a ding decision. Meanwhile work goes on. Under a law of that type, for instance, there could have been no such thing as the senseless stoppage of work: which occurred recently when, in the Briggs body plant at Detroit, workers and management quarreled over the speed of an assembly line, two men were contract or as THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, OCT. 14 And if it can be said that he is still some- | He is a man of incorrigible | manage- | fired, their 6,000 colleagues walked out and 1938.
