EXIT CHILD LABOR.

The first of the industrial codes approved by the Government, that of the textile industry, wrote into it provision outlawing child labor. It step that a few months ago seemed impossible of attainment and prediction that it could happen in the future would have been scornully ridculed Yet there it is. The textile code is quite revolu tionary in aspects than that It consigns the mill village to the scrap heap eventually guarantees 1929 wages to unskilled laborers for the shortest work week they ever have known, and gives them the right to unionize without question
 Now top of this the general industrial code promulgated by the Administration that wipes out child labor from all industry shortens working hours for all unskled labor and raises it's wages to at least living plane It is not complete in all details as the textile plan but it will it's purpose, to put more men to work gainfuy, until each industry work out and adopt it's code. As to child labor it probably is dead for all time True, the National Recovery Acts life is hm- tied by law to two years, and the codes adopted under it live after that period only by common agreement among industries. Yet the obvious bene- fits to industry itself from doing away with child labor even without the added argument of justice
 to children certain to be great enough to insure the perpetuity of that step. Thus, what has been sought to be accomplished by Constitutional amend men without much success seems practically certain of attainment by reason of economic forces.

CAUSE OF FLU IS FOUND.

The current months issue of the Lancet, leading British medical journal, makes the announcement that the primary of influenza have been discovered through series of experiments carried out by three British doctors. The article asserts that a result there be no repetition of the major influenza epidemics such occurred in 1918 and 1920 killing some 100000 persons, according to statistics Doctors said to have found that influenza is caused by filter passing virus which they isolated by infecting ferrets. The discoveries are said to corroborate those made by scientists working under the auspices of the Rockefeller Institute.
 Thus science continues to wage it's ceaseless war fare against the ills that plague mankind. It has rid us of the dread yellow fever, typhoid fever, smallpox, dphtheria and other diseases whose vic- tins are numbered in the millions. It is forever pioneering in new treatments for old ailments, car- rying on in the face of death sometimes, not for personal glory to achieve wealth but to make the human healthier and happier

THE REAL AMERICAN ATTITUDE.

Writing sometime before the vote on Prohibition repeal was had in Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee, the editor of the Literary Digest commented that if all three of them voted for the resolution repeal probably would be accomplished this year; that if any one of them voted dry it likely that repeal could not be effected before 1884
 All three States voted wet The first two showed a larger swing away from Prohibition based on the Digest's three polls that subject, than any State yet to vote. Alabama only 4469 per cent dry in its 1922 poll; 47.66 per cent in 1930; and 445l in 1882. It voted two to one for repeal last week Arkansas 4824 per cent dry in 1922; 5219 per cent in 1880; and 4776 in 1892 In other words if one and one-haf per cent of the voters had switched to the dry side in the election, the State would have rejected the resolution. Instead the switch was in the opposite direction and the vets three to two. decrease of about eight per cent in the dry vote.
 Tennessee showed the least change of the three In 1922 the poll showed it 47 per cent dry; in l93O 5O37 dry and in 1892. 1854. In the election the vets by majority of some 10000 votes Illustrating how close the margin is
 In the Dgest's 1882 poll, only two states-Kansas and North Carolina-gave majority to the dry cause The outlook now is for both of them to swing to the vets if election is held which is not necessary of course if ratification is accom- plished this year.
 Writing recently in the Emporia Gazette, o which he is editor William Allen White, one o National Prohibitions sincerest advocates indignantly dened truth of the assertion of the diehard dry that Kansas would still be found in the list Of the Prohibition States this year. Kansans, he asserted will not vote otherwise than as Americans and mol as Prohibitionists."
 MT White believes that all patriotic drys should refrain from lending themselves to efforts to con- solidate a small minority of States to prevent ratification. Prophesying what Kansas would do ir that connection, he wrote in his newspaper:
 For instance, Kansas Is reasonably dry
 State. It will probably retain some form
 of State Prohibition after National Pro-
 hibition has been abandoned. But it is un-
 thinkable that Kansas would stand out as
 the thirteenth State after thirty-five States
 had overwhelmingly voted to repeal the
 Eighteenth Amendment The patriotism of
 Kansas could be depended upon to stand
 for majority rule, if decisive majority in
 the other States had declared against Pro
 hbition.
 That seems to be the real American attitude It is commended to the diehards for their thought ful consideration

The Four POtUer Pact
By WALTER LIPPMANN

many a network of treaties which
 the Nazi propaganda has consist 'ently scorned.
 The most important aspect oi the pact, however. is that a path has been definitely opened for g better understanding between Italy and France. Not only has Fascist Italy drawn back from an alliance with Nazi Germany, but it has moved forward to point where it is not impossible that way will be found to compose, at least for a time, the rivalry between France and Italy in central Europe.
 | The peace and the prosperity of central Europe depend upon ar understanding between France and Italy. Without this understanding the new nations of the Danube Valley, which have arisen out of the wreck of the Hapsburg empire cannot hope to make economic ar engagements which will permit them to prosper. For ten years every arrangement which these new na- tions might have reached has been vetoed by one or the other of the great powers. If these vetoes can be withheld, there is hope for cen tral Europe. They will be with held only if France and Italy can understand each other.
 The next few months will show whether this is possible. In the meantime the position of the new nations of central Europe has been considerably strengthened by the conclusion of a series of treaties with Russia. These treaties of non- aggression, which are more precise than any that have been written since the war, greatly reduce anx- iety all along the whole European frontier of Russia. In so far as treaties are to be relied upon, they are a new barrier against the re- vision of frontiers by military force
 Thus the next result of the crisis of the spring has been to confirm and solidify the existing territorial boundaries. For the time being the idea of revision has been put entirely aside. It has been recognized that in fact the only kind of peace that Europe can have is peace based on the exist ing frontiers. The alternative would be war, and once that al- formative was clearly visualized in the crisis of last spring it was re- Ijected not only by France and her allies, who have always rejected it, but by Great Britain, by Rus sia, and by Italy as well.

Federal Loans Will Be Repaid.

tDaly Journal of Commerce, Seattle)
 Make no mistake about it; the loans made by the Federal Government to various communities and districts will be repaid
 business man who has only superficial under standing of the public works act remarked the other day. Of course very few of the loans will be repaid to the Government. The projects are so large and so costly that interest alone would bank rupt most communities, let alone repayment of the principal The Government will simply have to hold the sack!"
 And that is very likely what many other people think but it is fairly safe to predict that few of the loans advanced will not be retired
 In the first place, the Federal officials will naturally want complete financial statements cover ing the various improvements proposed. Jobs that clearly not self-qudating will not be approved Many enthusiasts seeking the expenditure of mill lions in areas with little financial stability will be disappointed when the Government advises that their pet projects are turned down The Admnis- traton is desirous of getting work started on labor absorbing undertakings at the earliest possible date but we certain, judging by the advices received from Washington. that the Government does not intend to play Santa Claus The proposed work will be carefully studied If the Federal officials are convinced that the money advanced can be paid back for the retirement of the Government bonds the job will be approved If the loan appears doubtful, the chances of a project being financed with Federal funds remote.

WE GREET THE NAVY.

Not the entire Navy, of course. But Tn greetlng with warm and heartfelt welcome that small DOT ton of it that arrives in port today, we do salute it and it's personnel as representatives of that great and most useful arm of our countrys government nlneau is glad indeed to have this opportunity to be host to those boys in blue" Never before has it had so many of them in it's midst at one time.

It has been many years since greeted any part of the American Navy We have had our guests German and British ships and it was pleasure to have them. It is much more pleasurabe to greet now some of our own. Needless to say that this com munitys doors are wide open to them and the town is theirs" as long they can remain.
 The Navy is Americas first line of defense. Alaska is its frontier It is probably one of the key points of defense in case of hostilities with any Far Eastern power bordering on the Pacific Ocean. More than that it offers highly useful defensive position for most of the Pacific Coast mainland of the country The Navy ought to De more thoroughly familiar with Alaskan waters through cruises such as this than it is. That, of course is a good reason for the Navy to make annual, Alaskan cruises a part of it's training pro- gram We hope that the time will come when that policy will be adopted. Then we can hope to greet the feet more frequently and get better ac- quainted with as it improves its acquaintance with us.
 The present visitation of the destroyer squadron is not that kind of cruise. It is in the nature of good will tour" recognition by the Navy Department that Alaska is an integral part Of the country. It is rather an unusual gesture for us and one that we genuinely appreciate. We hope that it's stay will be pleasant that its officers and men will feel the urge to return many times

The four-pOWer pact which ha just been signed in Rome, may b said to mark the end of the Euro pean political crisis of last spring This crisis was produced by tn rise to power in Germany of mel who had for years openly declaret that they would, if necessary, us force to bring about a revision O treaties. How serious this threa was to be taken depended upon tn, attitude of Mussolini. For year Fascist Italy has favored revision If Fascist Italy aligned itself witt Nazi Germany, carrying with i Hungary, Bulgaria and perhap Austria, Europe would have beer divided into two hostile and ire. concilable camps
 Here lay the danger. But almos instantly there was a profound re- action. British opinion became united in an implacable opposition to any extension of the Nazi in fluence beyond the present iron tiers of Germany. The French al dances in central Europe which had gradually become weaker were revived in the presence of the dan ger. Russian diplomacy became definitely more friendly to Poland and to the other new nations of central Europe. Finally, when the Nazis began to threaten the inde pendence of Austria, the Italians saw that by aligning themselves with Germany and by encouraging the Nazi ambitions they were run ming the risk of creating new Germany, which, when it had ab- sorbed Austria, would oe the neigh bor of Italy and would in all like lihood begin to press next for an outlet to the Adriatic through the Italian port of T'reiste.

 Confronted with the situation Mussolini chose to practice real istic diplomacy. The four-powe1 pact is the visible sign of his de- cision to pursue policy of stabil- |ity rather than policy of adven- ture. The pact recognizes Ger many as one of the four great powers of Europe, and concedes to Germany that moral equality which she ought never to have been denied. But at the same time the pact completely rejects the idea that Europe can be divided into two groups of powers, and it re- commits Germany and all the oth- CTS to the whole system of treaties set up to preserve the peace.
