The news from Washington that President Roosevelt may order a merger of all means of communi- cations under federal regulation Is Of vital importance to radio. The netWoarks have been doing their best to eliminate what little fed eral control there is already. and it is certain that they will fight CO., ordination of communications as much as they can.
 The placing of communications under federal control would give the government absolute authority over radio. It would mean that the director named by the president could limit advertising, set pro- gram standards, and force stations 10 obey every rule under threat of losing it's license.

Ketchikan Should Be Prosperous.
CKetchikan. Chronicle.)


 Do you realize that various Federal projects now under way in Ketchikan-or to be started within la few days-mean an additional payroll for Ketchi- kan of s650O a week? It is expected that this activity will be con- tlnued for fully two months, fact which will bring about the distribution here of well S52- GOO Practically all of this money will go to work who. in turn, will spend it in Kechikan stores. Surely, the work is wonderful gift for the indi- vdua who faced otherwise hard winter Surely the work is wonderful gift well to the com munity which otherwise would be burdened with an excessive relief problem. At the same time, other normal winter activities are being carried on in Ketchikan; that the total local payroll is doubtless as great as it ever has been during winter months. That should mean sonnet thing; it should a comfortable although not sumptuous living, for hundreds of families; and it should that merchants this winter will be able to turn over goods without great credit losses and certainly in greater volume than the case last winter.
 To the Mayor and Council to the Chamber of Commerce, and to other organized groups that have fostered the employment Ketchikan should give thanks.

to any realistic revolutions. it is a poor prospect.
 All of this will, of course, not be ineligible to those who are in the habit of describing everything they do not agree with as revolutionary. There are men. for example, who think that collective bargaining is revolutionary. or revaluing the cur- reaey, or steep income tax though meaSurss Of this sort are accepted as 2 mater of course by a consarv- ative country like England These measures may ba good or bad. wise or foolish. but they have nothing to do with revolution or the par- petuation of American institutions If we are looking for really radi- cal tendencies in Washington, we must not look to Mir Tugwell's opinions, whatever they may be. but to those conditions where the old order of things shows serious evidences of paralysis. There are not many, think. but there are some which are worth watching particularly. I should suppose the failure of the private capital mar ket to psrform it's functions. In So far as it fails to perform it's func- tions. you are bound to get an in creasing tendency to supplant it by public authority Carried to its logical conclusion that would in voive a very great change in the character of capitalistic society. This tendency is, therefore, in the real sense of the term, radical. Blu. how far it will go is still perhaps an open question. depending upon whether the paralysis in the pri- yate capital market is temporary or more fundamental.
 Tendencies are vague things. and one cannot be sure what they mean. and rarely do they proceed to their logical conclusions. But if it is revolution and radicalism we are interested in, the thing to watch are evidences of paralysis in the old order rather than tho theology of Professor Tugwell.

WORLD USE OF COTTON GAINS.

The report on consumption Of cotton for October should shake up those individuals who have been p edictng the past year that the 1929 levels will be again World spinners used 2,.28.000 bales of American and foreign cottons ag lnst 2,0880o0 in October and 2o78000 in October 1892 The consumption for the three months from August 1 to October 31, moreover, was also greater than any corresponding period since the 1e29-30 season.
 The use of cotton gained in all of the principal textile manufacturing countries. Mill activity in Great Britain considerably higher than year ago; mill operations in Japan attained the highest October levels record, with mills using larger proportion of American cotton than before: and United States mills consumed more cotton than in any October in the past three years. Mills in most countries on the Continent active this October than last; mills in China were more active in early November than for several months past; but mills in India and Russia consumed less cotton in September and October this year than last
 The cotton consumption in Russia is expected to be boosted to figures within short time. One of the first concrete results of renewal of diplomatic relations between the United States and Russia probably will be the purchase by Russia of a large amount of American cotton.
 Most of the renewed activity in cotton trade is traced to current policies of the Roosevelt Admin istrations MIRA textile code that put the American industry it's feet. and its monetary policy that has made it possible for foreign buyers purchase American-grow cotton.

UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES

Washington observers are inclined to believe that the Congress that meets next week will be much more peaceably inclined than forecast early last Fall The reason is not far to seek Material i'm provement in conditions throughout the country is admitted Predictions of party friction, of insur- rections by nflationsts of both parties, of active and determined opposition by Republican members. made then resulted largely from the slump from the summers peak of economic and industrial gains. That slump is definitely passed. The pendulum IS on the upswing again, and the likelihood Of any major onslaught on the Presidents policies seems now to be slight
 The Congress will meet in January under radically changed conditions from that which convened thirteen months earlier and sat through the last three months of Mir. Hoover's term. Tne latter had no program to consider by means of which the debacle of American finances and industry could be stayed and the nation set back the road to prosperity. It told that nature must be let to take its course and when the depression had killed off all the weaker unts of finance and bus ness the healthy ones, though weakened, would rapidly convalensce and the country again return to normal. We not only not going anywhere, We retrogressing.
 The Seventy y-Third Congress, in its first regular session it has already in extra session, faces no such conditions. At the behest of President Roosevelt last Spring it enacted into legislation certain statutes to give him authority to put lnto effect a program he confident would start the country the recovery path. He has not failed to make use of every authority granted him. The nation is definitely far ahead of what it was year ago It is going somewhere. It has ended shrink ing payrolls diminishing business banking panic, is restoring employment building up business, replac- ing charity with useful employment, and it has given to Americans again confidence in their system Of government
 Under such circumstances, Congress cannot do better than to stand solidly behind the President keep partisan and factional politics vacation for a while yet, and pass only such legislation as is needed to improve and strengthen the emergency recovery laws necessary supply bills for the conduct of government, and revamp the tax laws to prevent the lodging of taxes that has become SC notorious in recent years. Complete recovery will not come yet for somewhat extended period. Until it does, nothing should be done to impede its progress

The Navy Report.
(New York Times.)

Secretary Swanson in his annual report puts the case for progressive building when he says that "our sporadic programs have not only proved very costly to the nation but they have left far under our treaty. strength in up-to-date ships" He comments the allocation of funds from the National Industrial Recovery Act for the construction of thirtytwo naval vessels which directed by Pres dent Roosevelt policy that should lead to "a treaty navy second to none" Secretary Swanson argues, just the British Lords of the Admiralty do, that balanced armament fortifies diplomacy and is an important element in preserving peace and justice" Also he says, as they do that i've can no longer afford to lead in disarmament by example" But make all new construction subject to further limitation
 This is condition approved by President Roose- welt in making the allocation of Industrial Recov- cry moneys. It is possible to build up to parity with Great Britain under the treaties, with that MT. Swanson points out, employment is found for thousands Of workmen in specialized industry In the attainment of parity with Great Britain there would be no menace to peace but rather a prospect of cooperation between friendly nations to any large-scale
 In the air the United States makes up to some extent for weakness in surface auxiliaries since the navy had 919 serviceable airplanes on hand at the end of the fiscal year" In fleet manoeuvres the air squadrons have demonstrated
 their great tactical strength The Secretary does not seem to share the pessimistic that the service suffers in efficiency by reduced complement on combatant ships in commission He does however think that the flat Is per cent reduction in pay is hardship and urges that full pay be restored

Prom The Empire

Practically everyone in Juneau had left for the Perseverance Mine to be guests of the Ptarmigan club at their "Roughneck" party. Many had left during the afternoon on sleds and others planned to walk. General Manager B. L. Thane and members of his office force went out to the mine early in the after noon to be on hand 10 help receive the guests. The guests, expected to number anywhere from one hun dred and fifty to three hundred, were to remain overnight at the mine and return 10 town the fol- lowing day. The event had bsen the most talked one in the city for several days and the warm bond of friendship and comrade- ship between the officers and em- Dloyees of the mine made the en- tertainment the more interesting.
