BIG BUSINESS JOINS UP.

The announcement from New York City yesterday that congress of American business and industrial cheftains will hold important meetings this week for cooperation with the Administration intent upon taking places on the Roosevelt All-American Recovery Team" will promote and encourage wide spread confidence among business immediately. The specific plans and programs that will result from these meetings when put into effect certain to greatly expedite recovery and to remove the brakes caused by the obvious sullen and hold-back attitude of branches of "big business, towards the New Deal
 This current meeting follows closely upon the about face" of the United States Chamber of Commerces attitude toward the New Deal com mented upon here last week
 President Roosevelt has unquestionaby convinced big business that the New Deal is here to stay and that the the great majority of business leaders give it sincere support the rapidly recovery will come.

Huey Long in Stride.
(Kansas City Times.)

Senator Huey Longs privately expressed intention to run for the Presidency in 1886 is not surprising He has had such an amazing success in establish ing his leadership in his own State and with put ting through his individual and astonishing pro- gram, that he naturally looks for other fields to conquer. This the most vociferous of the radical leaders engaging attention, achieved distinction in the capacity of a buffon and pest. But he no longer may be dismissed as a mountebank, capi- tazing popular distress, prejudice, cupidity and emotion merely to play with them for his delec- tation.
 Long has established in Louisiana a veritable despotism whichever of the several European names might best fit it as scheme of government He absolutely dictated the legislation enacted under his call forty-four bills being passed almost without reading anything but the titles. Among these meas ures unprecedentedy radical laws. For one thing they extend power almost every office in the State, county municipal and include some extra governmental places This power is intended to be and will be exercised by Senator Long, who has made himself dictator
 Although Long has originality, he neverthe- less has proceeded generally along the lines blazed by European would-be dictators getting a local fol- seeking expansion, win lose. In Longs case the menace is aggravated by the fact that really has majority of the State voters behind him instead of highly perfected, but aggressive minority as in some other instances of incpient dictatorships
 The advent of Long as Presidential candidate should he officially proclaim his privately expressed purpose, should not be disturbing in itself The disquieting thing is the kind of doctrine call it what you will, that he represents, and of which in substance he is rot the only exponent now making headway in Various parts Of the country It is the kind of doctrine that is challenging not cny to the conservative thought of the country, but also to the liberal thought which prevails

Now It's to Be Cooperation.
(Kansas City Times )

Two extremely important points are covered ex- plicity by Donald R. Richberg, the recovery CO., ordinator in his Atlanta address of Monday night. They that there is to be no dscontinuance of New Deal innovations and control schemes, such as the MIRA and the AAA, and hence no return to the axity of the old order; also and more significant just now, there is to be "orgy of imitation" Beyond the two, and of than incidental value, is the expression of confidence that private business can and will do its full share in the task of unemployment and recovery.
 By virtue of MT. Richberg's key position at Wash ington, this can be accepted Administration procurement. But short distance away at Warm Springs, the President must have given his full approval to the Richberg statements. They obviously were intended to be reassuring, and are. There is nothing new, but merely reminder per- hapS, for emphasis, in the announcement that the New Deal, for all practical purposes is to go for ward That had been understood. It is observed however. that the various New Deal agencies, in- cludng chiefly the two mentioned. not only are to be carried on, but "improved'-so modified it might
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-12-04

be permissible to add, that they will work more effectively as the cooperative instruments which MT. Richberg says they are.
 It is the word "co-operatve that sounds the dominant note in the relations of Washington and business now The Washington attitude has been made known. So MT Richberg speaks with posi- tveness about the capacity and readiness of business to go ahead, despite the many voices that are crying out about the tmidity and weakness of private industry.

 Listen! Can't you hear somebody honkng his motor-h as you read this? The chances that you can, even Sunday morning, if you live in the city, or the suburbs or near some country cross roads And the odds are even heavier that if some one is honking in your ear, less remotely, he is doing it unnecessarily. He doesn't want to slow up at corner, he is impatient to pass his neighbor on the avenue he wants Junior to hurry up and downstairs These are generally for honking rather than reasons for it. The highways safe as they are and not too safe at that, in spite of them, not because of them. Three honks at least in every four could be silenced without danger to the wandering motorist, and with great relief to tangled nerves and ruined dispositions
 The American Automobile Association is preach ing this doctrine to the honkng heather with almost missionary zeal. It is calling the attention of city officials the country to the various noise disarmament crusades" lately launched over seas In England hoots toots and all other honks are not only forbidden but strictly forbidden in all built-up areas between II 80 pm and am Urban Britishers sleep again London is said to be in fact as well in theory hornless town from curfew to Sun-up.
