America Coming Back.
(New York World -Telegram.) )

The National Administrations recovery program lis bringing increased we-being to the nation far in excess of the realization of the people of New York in the opinion of former Governor Oliver Max Gardner of North Carolina.
 MT. Gardner says that New York does not realize the progress being made because it is set off from the main body of the country and is the center of clements pessimistic regarding NFeA among whom he listed Al Smith, sound money advocates and the Chamber of Commerce
 Head of and counsel to large Carolina textile industries MT. Gardner has New York office and, being close to conditions outside the city is quail fled to judge to some extent the state of the citys mind in regard thereto
 He cites impressive figures concerning North Carolina. He said:
 In 1892 our cotton crop brought $19,-
 100000, this year It already has brought
 $34,OOO0O0. Our tobacco crop in 1892 brought
 $32000,o00. and this year it has brought S76,-
 100000. Prices of other farm products have
 increased accordingly. For the last five
 months our textile plants have been oper-
 atng at practically full capacity. All that
 is changing the whole economic life of the State, and the same is true in most other
 States It is a complete rebirth revival, new life insted into our country
 This optimistic declaration is supported by testi- Imony of others who recently have travelled in lesrely fashion across the country Typical of these is the competent newspaper observer and historian
 
 the New York Herald Tribune yesterday, said
 It is worth while to record that to
 the question Are things any better?" the
 universal answer is cautious yet cheerful
 Yes"
 Due to the shifting oI financial control from Wall Street to Washington, the thermometer of national conditions in New York does not register rises in the national ecoonmic warmth promptly las it did.

AMNESTY NEXT STEP.

In the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals last week,
 decision was rendered thatt invadates all pending cases Of violations of the National Prohibition Act This however, directly affects only the seven Vest ern States comprising with Alaska and Hawaii the circuit It did not apply to the two Territories, the court said because Congress has penary power them and. therefore the Volstead Act is still in force and effect here and in Hawaii No objection can be found with that reasoning.
 The decision is in accord with public sentiment. There would be no justification theory fact for prosecution of persons under statute based upon 9 section of the Constitution that the voters have repealed. Il would be waste of taxpayers money and judicial time to try such eases. If there are cases pending involving more than mere nfractions Of the Vostead Act other statutes remain in force under which actions be brought.
 The next step, that the policy with respect to pending has been settled is what to do about the thousands of persons under jai penal sentence after having been convicted under the Vol stead Act Some of these, in fact many of them, undoubtedly offenders. They have nc ether criminal record To them, we believe. the Government ought to extend amnesty They have defed no other law than the law that is now non- existent A policy of liberality here is called for and it will receive widespread public appreciation if it is adopted.

Those Good Old Days"
Fairbanks News-MinerO

When prohibition is erased from the Constitution and statutes shall doubtless again be hearing certain picturesquely descriptive terms which in pre- Vostead days, embenlsned the English language when applied to the inebriated-such as-Bunned boozy canned, corned dizzy, deadto- heworld, fud ded foggy -prune- juice, groggy, gogge-eyed haf-shot, haf-seas-over, jagged ocoed lushy, lit up, hghts-out loaded-to the gunnels mellow moony, ossified pie-eyed paralyzed pickled plastered, pol
 uted, primed soaked soused. stewed szzled squif- fed, spifficaed screwed, tight, tipsy tangled teed up, tanked-up, three sheetSto wind, woozy whit tied, etc. But in the opinion of who profess to be authorities in the matter, the condition of citizen whose gait becomes wobbly and his mental faculties obfuscaed from the excessive consumption of three-point-two beverages only be correctly described as 'wateTlogged.

deemed desirable for the welfare of the com munity, if desirable, the information is placed before the Chamber of Commerce Executive Board for consideration on just what attitude should be taken. There again, they are studied closely, vote taken and the bill actively supported or opposed in our own Legislature or at Washington.
 Chambers of Commerce thus import ant factors in determining laws Members of legislative bodies are taking note of the action of Chambers, knowing that it reaches a conclusion only after serious study and that this opinion represents the opinion of a majority of it's members
 The Juneau Chamber, however, carefully avoids politics and party affiliations. It has been well said that any organization that seeks to exert political power is menace to American institutions unless it is organ ized as a political party. That is why the Chambers principle in this connection is to develop public sentiment, then advance it on behalf or against measures looked into. The purpose of this article is two-fold To emphasize the community-wide scope of Chamber activities and to stress the fact that the Juneau Chamber is not one, two, or a three man organization but a community enterprise and deserving of the financial support, at least, of all who do business in the vicinity.
 As the report pointed out it is not matt merely of intangible civic pride to support u ocal Chamber and keep it alive. Tt is matt ,f service to the community" Those who ha1 leld membership longest in the Chamber realii most keenly the truth of that statement and ne members and visitors are impressed with it abo' ln other things.

If. then, it is necessary for the President to make his attempt to combine recovery and reform, is it possible for the attempt to suc- ceed? No one, of course, can be sure. But it can be said, I think, that it is not impossible, given cer- tain conditions.
 One is that the trend of events should be toward recovery. There is reason to think it is, that un- derlying all public actions there is a definite upturn in the business cycle. If that is true then the President will be aided by events and many mistakes will not be ir- reparable. If it is true, the fun damental condition for success ex- ists, that MT Roosevelt is lucky in that he is not compelled, as was Mir. Hoover, to work against the forces of things.
 The second condition is to have public understanding of the nature of his task, so that even when men differ on particular measures. they can still understand each other on others. I am not sure that this understanding exists in sufficient quantity or that pains have been taken to cultivate it. But it is vitally necessary if the country is to be patient
 The third condition is for the President himself to exercise the judgment fearlessly on the pace of reform on the one hand. ana. on the other, in differentiating between what is really needed to stimulate revival and what is merely the out cry of vested interest This re- quirss great detachment and per spective: to judge how fast re- form can be absorbed, how soon it can be made technically work able; and at the same time to see what is essential to give con- fidenee and encourage initiative and what is propaganda against the reforms.
 All this as set down here, is very complicated But this at- tempt to describe the nature of his task is less complicated by far, l imagine. than the decisions the President has to make from day to day.

We may then ask whether it was possible for the President to con- centrate on reform and proceed unhesitatingly to a more socializad economy? It was not possible for him to do that. Unless his re- forms are accompanied by an eco nomic revival, they will be resist ed and discredited, and if persisted in will in the end provoke an eX- treme conservative reaction. With out an accompanying revival th3re is only one way in which a social order can be radically and quickly reconstructed. That is by dictator ship which ruthlessly expresses manifestations of discontent. There fore, the enthusiasts for the New Deal are hideouSly short-sighted when they complain that the Pres idant shows too much concern for those things which would stimu- late price initiative and promote confidence They do not realize that economic improvement is the tide which alone can keep the ship of the New Deal afloat. In so far as they allow themselves to discourage and check the impulses of recovery-by unnecessary irrita- tionS by idle threats by torren- dous theorizing-thay are sabotag- ing the realization of the import ant reforms
