NAz|S' TRIALS SEEN
AS 'GHASTLy JOKE
Former DarroW Partner De.
scribes New Peoples
Court in Germany.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, August 30.--William O.
Thompson. prominent New York and
Chicago lawyer and former partner
OF Clarence Darrow, today criticized
certain aspects of Chancellor Hitler's
dictatorial machinery. Thompson is
here making study Of Germany.
The American attorney described
the new Peoples Court" which Was
created two months ago for the speedy
handling of high treason cases, as
"a ghastly joke"
Sees Hidden Cruelty.
He suggested that untold misery
and cruelty must be hidden in Ger
many's concentration camps when
government makes visiting them so
diffcult and quoted Ernst Hanfstaengl,
Hitler's intimate friend, as saying
Ernst Torgler, former Communist
leader IN the Reichstag, and Ernst
Thaelmann, another Communist also
In Jail, might soon be released, but
that IF the swine don't behave they'll
be stood up against wall and shot.
Thompson attended session a
Peoples Court which at present is
trying Is Communists accused OF
concealing weapons and explosives in
preparation for civil war
Their trials by the court are i'm
possible, he said, because it is star
chamber session in which witnesses
are constantly under the peril OF
being jailed themselves and three of
the five members of the court are
men of special experience in the
defense of the state against internal
political attacks; in other words, one
Nazi Storm Trooper, one Schultz
Staffel Especial guard) and one
Reichswehrman (soldier).
Nazi Judges Militant.
"This means" said Thompson, "that
the Nazis and Storm Troopers who
are engaged IN destroying all oppo-
sition to their party and have mill
tant attitude now sit as the judges
on their opponents.
THE defendant may have lawyers,
but his lawyers must be approved
by the court and may be removed
at any time. Back of the creation
of the Peoples Court was desire
to abolish the rules of evidence and
the standards of justice prevailing in
the old courts"

LONGsHOREMEN SHOW SYMPATHY.

In consentng to permit the steamer Victoria to load for Alaska ports, the striking longshoremen displayed a consideration that is not seen often enough in labor troubles to be termed common. It was a real concession their part and one that Aaskans undoubtedly appreciate. It will relieve to a considerable extent the situation in Southeast Alaska.
 But if the Victoria is the only vessel that is to be allowed to the strike gauntlet, the relief will be merely temporary and partial. It will extend only to Southeast Alaska communities since that vessel does not call at ports west of the Gulf of Alaska its present schedule. Thus Prince William Sound and ports west of there and Alaska Railroad points will not be benefited by the strikers concession If the strike is not to be do incalculabe injury to the Territory, all shipping to the north should be exempted. It is possible of course, that the trouble will be solved before the end of the week and all vessels moving their regular schedules. If not then the authorities both Wash ington State and Federal, should appeal to the Seattle unions to include all Alaska shipping from their strike orders.
 To do so could not in any way be construed as a weakness their part. It would be an indication of strength and in addition, would create widespread sympathy for them. The unions have nothing to lose by adopting such course and much to gain.

Three Billions Less.
(NeW York Tines.)

|
 | With the end of April only two months remain of the fiscal year for which President Roosevelt
 forecast the largest peace-tme deficit in the coun-
 try's history. His estimate in his budget message of last January $7300000000. When the Treas
 ury closes it's books tonight the excess on the wrong
 side of the ledger will be about $3,000 0O00 ex-
 elusive of statutory debt retirement. Even if ex-
 pendtures for the next two months should be half
 again large those for the last two, the deficit
 June 30 will fall nearly $3,O00OO00OO short of the
 Presidents estimate It has been several years since
 the country had the agreeable experience of finding the Treasury's position in late Spring considerably
 better, rather than disappontngly worse, than mid
 winter estimates had led it to anticipate.
 The decisive factor is to be found in the extra ordinary budget. It the Presidents expectation
 that expenditures for relief, for public works for loans by the REC and for other purposes associated with the recovery program would amount to about $35, 100000 day for the period from January to June. Actually these emergency" outlays have amounted since January l to only half this figure, due chiefly to the fact that the REC has been called upon to disburse much less than the amounts allotted to it in the budget Banks railways build ing and loan associations insurance companies and mortgage loan companies-the chief groups of pri- vate borrowers aided by the RFC-have had less need of it's help than was foreseen Meantime, re- payments of loans already made are coming in at the rate of $3,000,000 day and are now expected to reach the billion mark by June 30, compared with the estimate of less than three-fourthS that sum.
 It is reasonable to believe that in the new fiscal year beginning July 1 such repayments will con- stitute an increasingly important item in the Gov ernment's receipts All other revenues show marked improvement, with an increase of 50 per cent for the first ten months of the current fiscal year com pared with last year. Thanks to this marked gain, and to economies in the routine services Of the Government the ordinary budget has been brought approximately into balance

KINDNESS EVERY WHERE.

A 17-year-old girl taken to a New York hospital suffering from blood disease. Only number of blood transfusions could have her life she did not have the money to pay for them, ana the hospital operating on too limited budget to buy them for her.
 So an appeal was made to the public, announcing that the girl might die unless volunteers came forward to give her their blood
 Within few days more than 400 people went to the hospital and offered to submit to trans fusions.
 As demonstration of the way in which human sympathy will respond to appeal this is sur prising and encouraging thing. But it also demon strated the way in which human need must be dramatized if we to relieve it. There is vast store of selfsacrifce in this world the only trouble is it that usually takes dramatic situation to tap it effectively.

OPENING INTEKIUh RIVERS TO
 FISHING.

Material relief ought to be afforded residents along the Kuskokwim and Yukon Rivers by the law recently approved by President Roosevelt which per- mts them to fish for salmon in those streams for commercial purposes. True, the amount of fishing to be permitted is limited but it is confined strictly to bona fide residents in the two valleys.
 Since the passage of the present Alaska Fisheries Act some nine years ago commercial fishing has been prohibited in these two streams up which ascend large numbers of king salmon of the finest kind They could be taken for human consumption and for dog feed for local Sale of dried fish for dog feed at one time constituted source of some revenue but in late years the arplane has put most of the dog teams out of the transportation business and the demand for food has dwndled to almost nothing
 The Alaska Legislature has memorialized Con- srees on this subject several occasions. And as Delegate Dimond who is the author of the new law pointed out in recent newsletter from his office in Washington the Democratic Party in the Territory pledged itself to do everything in it's power to get the streams opened for the residents Thus one of the pledges has been made good
 The Delegate has done everything that he can to carry out more important platform pledge regarding the fisheries. The party has for
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-05-17

many years gone record favoring local control of the entire Alaskan fishery. The Delegate early in his term introduced bill to that end. The House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries has held extended hearings it, and report ought to be forthcoming at early date MT Dimond's arguments were forceful and his facts indsputable. His declaration that such transfer of authority from Congress to the Territory is di- rectly in keeping with the traditional policies of the Democratic Party was not disputed It should carry weight If he is successful in this effort, it will have much more far-reaching effect the Territory than the opening of the two interior rivers to local commercial fishing.
