We can only hope ths Londoners found it as interesting. The little unpleasantness of the 1770's is ex- \dor-Designate and friendly as follows n, Ambass larly piained away by Lord Lo to the United States, in a sch article on “British and American Re tions “The breach made in the uni of the English- speaking world by the revolution of 1776 was far more due to defects in the constitutional tem of both in Br in North America than later generations I fundamen- tal cause of the quarrel was immer to the British taxpayer of the wars against France and the Indians, the the colonists to con- tribute to that cost, though they were the principal beneficiaries, and the natural but fatal determination of King George II1 to try to compel them to do 50.” The first of sufficient interest in London to merit four 24, 1789: “On the 315t May Washington was unanimously installed with the dig- nity of Chief Magistrate of the United States of America.” A week later there appeared another dis- patch from the new nation the Atlantic: “Almost every letter from America is full of the pover- her citizens, and several do not scruple to assert, of the new Federal Govern- an earnest applica- government the (&8 unwillingness of inauguration was across ty, distress, and misery of well-informed Republicar that one of the first Act ment must, and will certainly be tion to Great Britain for some small share in the West India commerce; the loss of which the Americans now feel with the most painful regret.” In its 32 pages the United States number of the Times endeavors to explain our country to its sub- scribers through articles bearing such titles as: State, City And Town; The System of Government; Won- ders of Modern Engineering; American Life To-day and To-morrow; A Pageant of the Pacific; The Negro in American Life; Faith in Education; Holidays by Mountain, and Sea; A New Day for the Red Indians; Women's Interests; British and American Farming; Contemporary American Literature; Wages and Living Standa Network of Air Gambling With Molecules and Atoms; Two Views on National Finance; Motor-Cars by the Million; Films and Holly- wood; Sports and Spectators, and many others. These are the things America which interes! England in 1639, well, though ine: apably a trifle dully, by The Times. It is interesting to see what London thinks of the | American subject which has been discussed constantly in this country for the past seven years. Following are quotes from “The New Deal in the U.SA": - | prolonged, and suc an ocean & lines in the Times of June| his Excellency General | | THE DAILY ALASKA EMP United States abreast of the times by a ing the amme of moderate social and economic reform With the possible pxception of the work-relief pro- sramme and the regional planning experiment by the T.V.A. there is little in the New Deal which has not long been accepted as normal political administration n Great Britain and other North European countries Je New Deal adopted the principle of direct and ¢ action to the separate phenomena of eco- dislocation and social unrest. Money was ap- propriated to feed the hungry and to supply work for the unemployed on useful public projects. The credit stiffened by the reorganization of the A\pprop! nomic and by loans to certain categories of private business by such Federal agencies as the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation, the Farm Credit Adminis- tration, and the Home Owners Loan Corporation. Low agricultural over-production were banks farm prices and dealt with by an ingenious system of subsidies to indi- benefit financed ing taxes 50-calle payments and of restric- farmers known as proc tion of acreage. Industrial distress was deall with by under the National Recovery Administration sreements by which prices were raised and andardized, competition limited, Labour s encouraged to organize and was given protection waste of vidual by excises codes cartel was and in the matter of hours and wages. The natural resources was met by the enrolment of a Civilian Conservation Corps and by the Tennessec Valley Authority “Opposition to the New Deal's labour and fiscal policies inside the Democratic Party encouraged Mr Roosevelt to undertake the difficult but necessary re- construction of his party as a party of ideas instead of a party of political machin e “Whether or not the Republican Party wins the election of 1940 and replaces the New Deal with some other formula for politieal action Deal measures are a permanent part of the public of the United States. The inevitable trend is toward a greater concentration of national authority at Washington, and no Conservative reaction would 1y all traces of the Roosevelt reforms. The life contours of the New Deal will not be substantially old time standards of limitation in | changed. The Roosevelt Administration will take its place in American history as the most determined ssful struggle for liberal reform in 's of the life of the Republic.” the 100 ye: Matan ka Grows Up (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) The Matanuska colony cut loose from Uncle Sam’s apron strings. It is a good thing. Visitors seem to be agreed that from a physical and economic standpoint there are no reasons why the farm ject should not succeed. There is also general eement that operations will be smoother when the colonists are on their own As an experiment and a demonstration, Mata- nuska has been eminently worthwhile. It has been shown that farming in Alaska is feasible, from the standpoint of production. A further extension of agricultural development easily can follow any further industrial and commercial developments The colonists have been given a good start. Wisely, they are depending upon their cooperative efforts for their further progress, instead of staking every- thing upon individual effor The country wishes them well. And they will get along the better, per- haps, through being encouraged to meet their prob- lems like the members of any other community. Tt must be difficult for any community to be kept under a constant spotlight for the benefit of those who hope to make national political capital out of ev: neizh- borhood quarrel. Should “Reliefers™ Vote? (New York Times) In suggesting in his address at Charlottesville that persons receiving public relief ought not to vote, Major Gen. Harbord specifically disclaimed any intent to slur “worthy individuals whom misfortune beyond their control has brought to actual need.” He believes that those on relief should surrender the right to vote as long as they are on relief, because otherwise their appearance at the polls “is too much like a judge sit- ting in an action in which he has a financial interest.” But suppose we carry the principle further. Should the beneficiaries of high tariffs be allowed to vote? Should those who seek to hold Government contracts be allowed to vote? Should those who stand to gain personally by any kind of legislation be allowed to vote? Should the ballot be kept open for farmers who receive benefits from the AAA, for tenants of Fed- erally aided housing projects, for workingmen whose wages or conditions of labor are subject to Federal regulation? To ask these questions is, of course, to answer them. If we try to eliminate pressure groups by dis- franchising those who belong or might belong to them we shall speedily get down to rule by a very small minority. We shall never get rid of special interests in elections until the voters are educated to under- stand that government by special interests is bad for sverybody concerned—including, in the long run, the beneficiaries of special-interest legislation. This may take some time. Democratic processes always take time. We have to be patient, to do our own individual voting as disinterestedly as we can, and to build up in every possible way the conception of a common inter- As a whole they are dealt with very | - | Appeasement!
