WALTER LIPPMANN.

Today The Empire presents to it's readers Walter Lippmann last editor of the New York World former editor of the New Republic scholar in political economy and philosophy and one of the clearest thinking and dearest writing men Of the day. Shortly after the New York World sold in 1929 Mir Lippmann joined the staff of the New York Herald Tribune with assignment to write anything he pleased and with no strings tied. He has broadened his field since that day until mill lions of people read his articles which are printed in newspapers from Canada to Mexico and now in Alaska
 There are two outstanding reasons for the import ance and influence of his writings First he writes with great clearness and power Secondly he inter- prets the interestingly because he knows the inside of the news He is the friend of states men and business executives and of diplomats and he would be the last to mention it. They talk frankly with him. What they tell him, though it cannot be printed gives background and authority to his comment
 Four times a week, beginning today he will express freely his opinion such subjects as he may select. over his own signature. He will write what he likes on whatever subjects he likes
 The policy of The Empire has always been to print the accurately and impartially as it is humanly possible and to express it's opinions only it's editorial page. Equally it has been it's policy to give wide latitude to the expression
 
 public service and privilege to add MT. Lippmanns point of view to our columns. It may not always be ours But it is certain to be a view ably presented, soundly based, cogently reasoned and written in language that lis precise enough for a Supreme Court Justice, simple enough for ward heeler and entertaining enough to woo magnate away from his grapefruit" commentator recently wrote.
 Nothing he has written strikngly shows the quality of his thought and expression than this passage, taken from recent article the desire of the United States for real leaders:
 Men who are truthful and resoute and
 eloquent in the conviction that the American
 destiny is to be free and magnanmous,
 rather than complacent and acquisitive they
 looking for leaders who will talk to the
 people not about two-car garages and the
 bonus, but about their duty, and about the
 sacrifices they must make and about the
 discipline they must impose upon themselves,
 and about their responsibility to the world
 and posterity-about all those things which
 make people self-respecting, serene and
 confident May they not look in vain.
 He was friend of Woodrow Wilson and Theo- dore Roosevelt. He was an ardent admirer of the late Dwight Morrow whose death he regarded as a great loss to the nation. He is friend of Franklin D. Roosevelt and yet of the most critical commentators on his Administration. In his forthcoming articles many will deal with the methods adopted to work out tha legislative gency program and the use of the great permissve powers granted the President by Congress.
 The Empire introduces MT Lippmann to Alaskans with pleasure and takes pride in the fact that it is the first Alaska newspaper to do so We are confident you will derive as much pleasure and profit from his articles millions of other news paper readers throughout the country are doing
