That's only eight short of a majorif In the House, Republicans had 89 Congressmen after the 1936 felcction. These increased to 162 after the 1040 election. After the 1944 election, Republicans had 190 seats—only 28 short of a majority. In the Montana special election in June—the first test of public opinion at the polls on national issues since 'the advent of the Truman Administration — the Re- publicans won another seat in a district that had been New Deal for 14 years. Right now, the New Deal governor of New Mexico re- fuses to call a special election to; fill a Congressional vacancy caused by Cabinet Member Clinton An-| derson’s resignation from Congress. | Does he fear the outcome? Why this steady increase in Re publican strength. X % ¥ | GOP TAKES INITIATIVE | During the war Republicans have demonstrated an ability for con-| structive leadership in the field of international affairs by taking the| initiative in steps leading to the| formation of the United Nations organization, and otherwise by! doing everything within the power| of a minority party to make sur that this time we shall win the peace as well as the war. As far back as July, 1943, “the Republican Post-War Policy Association” drew up a declaration favoring the es- tablishment of a post-war security | organization to insure the main- tenance of peace. About two months lat in Sep- tember, 1943—an official Republi- can meeting at Mackinac drew up a statement of party pelicy favor- ing “responsible . participation by the United States in post-war co- operative organization among sov- ereign nations to prevent military aggression and attain permanent peace with organized justice in a free world.” Subsequently that Declaration of Mackinac was em- bodied in the Republican Platform adopted by the National Conven- tion. in Chicago in June, 1944, and by the Republican standard bearers in 1944, ‘The final development was the drafting with able leadership from promin R Wn leaders —of a Unit Na! # Charter at San Francisco, and the ratification estored,” J controlled states are far in the lead ' in Kyoto. | that is, he | the of that charter—again with Re | publican cooperation—by the Unite States Senate. * &% REPUBLICAN AID FOR VETERANS On the domestic front, the Re- publicans are ,also demonstrating affirmative leadership. For returning veterans, a survey at the close of 1945 legislative | sessions showed the Republican- | in providing jobs and deserved benefits for veterans. Our people | don't like to play partisan politics with the rights of returning vet- erans. Hence a kickback when Edwin McKim, then Chief Admin- istrative Assistant to President | Truman, sought to use the promise of funds appropriated for wounded | war veterans to influence the | Special Congressional Election in| Montana. 1 Also the kickback when gover-! benefits for veterans. ur people nor (and Truman confidante) Wallgren of Washington said—in | approval of, the action of his State Highway Department in turning | down a vettran of three years service because he was a Republi- :an—that veterans who have ac-| tively identified themselves with the Republican Party wouldn't be | hired by his state government. On the labor front, Republican leadership has offered a plan for nation-wide labor conference of management, labor and government to bring about a charter for indus- trial peace at home—just as the San Francisco Charter seeks to bring international peace. On the food front, a Republican | program to replace the present OPA set-up was rejected by the Administration but the “planned” food shortages will still be re- membered in 1946. i s DEMOCRATIC SPENDING CONTIL S Republicans favor an end to ex- travagant deficit financing. About | the first promise made by Pmsidcml Truman—after his declaration that he would follow out the Roosevelt New Deal policies-—was that there would be economy in government. | That was in mid-April. On July Senator Harry F. Byrd, Demo- crat of Virginia, Chairman of the | Joint Committee on Reduction of Nonessential Federal Expenditures, reported that there had been a 16,000 net increase in the number of civilian federal employees in the United States in June as* compared with May. So, it appears, New Deal “economics” haven’t changed. A momeNt’s consideration of the composition of the New Deal gives the answer why they can’t change: There are three essential ele- | said of the Waldorf-Astoria, “to provide exclusive- ness for the masses.” way the world is moving. Like it or not, that seems to be ments in the New Deal: 1—The Solid South, where poli- tical control is based upon racial discrimination and intolerance, and what the late President F. D. Roosevelt used to call “economic Bourbonism.” 2—The big city machines, con- trolled by such eminent exempli- fiers of liberalism as Mayor Kelly of Chicago, Mayor Hague of Jersey | City and Tammany in New York; 3—The racial fringe, composed of groups led by ex-convict Earl Browder and Willlam Z.

Parks announced Alaska had been invited to par- ticipate in the Pacific Northwest Commercial and Industrial Exposition which was being planned for May, 1826, to be held in New York. Be- lieving it to be a good opportunity for favorable advertising for the Territory, Gov. Parks was communicataing with various chambers of commerce and communities, regarding the desirability of arranging for an exhibit. An informal dancing party in Parish Hall was given this night by Mrs. Robert Simpson for her niece, Miss Belle Greenblatt of Seattle, and Miss Judith Buzard, niece of Mrs. L. P. Dawes, who were visiting here. In the receiving line with the hostess and honor guests were Dr. Robert Simpson, Mrs, H. Greenblatt, Dr. and Mrs. L. P. Dawes and Miss Minnie Goldstein. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Alaskans, Judge W. A. Holzheimer of Ketchikan was in Juneau on legal business, and was a guest at the Juneau Hotel John Gilbert and Barbara La Marr were starred in the William Fox production St. Elmo, featured at the Coliseum. Three naval seaplanes which were to attempt a non-stop flight to Hawaii from San Francisco were making preparations in that city for the flight, which was scheduled to start the 28th. Mr. and Mrs. Horace Adams and two children went to Skagway on the Jefferson, making the round-trip to that city. Brig. Gen, H. W. Lord, Director of the U. S. Budget, was reported to have his pruning knife out on the gstimates of the different depart- ments which were expected to total more than $3,000,000,000 for the fiscal year 1927. cloudy.
