Bluffing All Around.
Cincinnati Enquirer)

DiScouraging reports from Europe indicate that the British have followed the example of other countries and trying to realize 'disarma- ment" by threatening to outbud other Powers This sort of strategy has failed conspicuousy in every instance and seems certain to produce bad results in this case Theoretically the threat at London of vast increases of air defenses is attempt to compel the French to adopt conciliatory armament policy Actually it is more likely to re- enforce the French in their determination to extend their already unprecedented national defense system
 The German policy of quietly rearming despite treaties to the contrary of bluffng. The Reich cannot provide itself with armaments rapidly enough to become a serious threat to the Allied Powers in less than five or ten years But by threatening to build in contravention of existing treaties Berlin hoped to induce France and England to sanction larger German defenses. With the ex- cepon of France the Powers were willing to modify the restrictions Germany But the veto of the French has wrecked this program of compromise.
 In the West it is much the same. Japan and America are making important additions to their fleets, hoping put themselves into such positions by 1885 that they will have tactical advantages at the coming naval limitation conference Actually those building programme likely to raise the general level of armaments and so increase the burden taxpayers, without accomplishing any other purpose.
 In Europe and the Far East, the two zones of possible conflict, the evidence shows plainly that bluffng is not the avenue to progress in dsarma- ment. Rather 1t heightens distrust and invites petitive arming Paper navies that threaten con- petitive building are in the class They are not 'an adequate substitute for negotiation con- promise and agreements limiting the land and naval armaments of the nations.

StreamIine Civilization.
(New York World-Telegram)


 Necessity. the mother of invention, in the new famed Burlington Zephyr" has wrought inevit- able revolution in American railroad passenger carry ing. To the tens of thousands who visited the train while on exhibition here the doom of the present numbering comets seemed apparent and imminent. For some time the B. M T. officials have been considering installation of similar type trains
 Competition of the bus and of the airplane sired the railroad marvel The railroads had to cut time and costs to compete and stay in the game. The new streamlined Diesedriven train, capable of clipping off 108 miles an hour and costing but a third as much as the standard train to operate, is the answer. All it lacks wings Who knows but it may take them on in another decade and double or treble the speed, meeting the arpane half way in mutual development toward the prevalent passenger transportation of the future.
 This radical change in railroad train design doubtless augurs astonishing changes in many other departments of life, in industry, building construc- ton and vehicles within the next few years The challenge of super-inventions materializing and just ahead of us, with all that these will mean in terms of employment and of living clearly shows that the New Deal move toward a streamlihing Diesel-powering of our economic and political life started just in the nick of time.

OFFICIALS IN POLITICS.

The bill introduced by Senator Stewer, of ore gon and quickly passed by the Senate, to prohlolt appointive Federal officers from taking part as delegates in national party conventions has been interpreted in some quarters as a move to taKe postmasters out of politics. That is because the postmasters are the most numerous class of ap- pointive Federal officers of political character ana naturally they will most affected by the proposed legsation which by the way still has to pass the House of Representatives. However, the measure should not be interpreted as attack on Post master General Farley and his subordinates but as a prohibition against active partisan political par ticipaton by all appontve Federal officers.
 While the measure is not intended, probably, as an attack upon the party system, it undoubtedly will tend to weaken it since it is usually the most prominent and most effective party workers who are rewarded by Federal appointments. Therefore. all though the bill would in some measure divorce the administrative branches of government more com pletey from the political processes of government all realists will readily recognize that postmasters and many other appointive Federal officials are in politics and will always remain there Forbiddng them to take part in party conventions will not affect that condition The real question whether appointive officers shall engage in party politics. Whether the bill would accomplish that end.
 It seems unlikely that barring office holders from conventions will keep administrative officials from political activity. So long Federal appointments are dictated by considerations of party politics, which is to say long as the party system is to be maintained that long will the occupants of those posts continue to play their various roles in the maintenance of party machines and the election of their partys candidates

 Thus the Bell Systems net gains in stations for April rose high 48,16O, following turn in the tide which started last September the January gain being about 10000. For the first quarter Of this year it was 10800O Now President Clifford makes note of this steady recent gain which he correctly interprets sign of general business improve ment" He says connections are being made at the rate of 50O,00o per year, or about a per cent again, the upward impetus having spread from the West to the Southwest to the East The New York Company last month gained 4474 stations where it lost 14,575 year ago; similarly in the first quarter it gained 14781 where it lost 1963 last year.

Statehood for Territories.
Seattle Times.)

An interesting question will be raised if Puerto Rico and Hawaii press their claims for Statehood. Up to this tme the nation has been able to confine its commonwealths to this continent and to the domain between the Canadian line and Mexico Alaska will be interested in the attitude of official Washington It also looks forward to the time when similar consideration will be asked for its Territory and people.
 Statehood for Alaska would have become a live issue years ago had the white population been larger. The issue has been raised on numerous occasions but never has made much progress. How ever it is certain to be brought forward again and again. more settlers enter the Territory Finan- cialy speaking, competent authorities assert the Nortland now is perfectly capable of carrying the expense of State administration.

President w. E. Novel;, of the Juneau Steamship company, had. received a cablegram stating that excursion tickets for Juneauites wishing to attend the Whitehorse celebration would be sent down o;l the Dolphin. The Juneau Steamship company was making combina- tion rate of $1100 for the round trip from Juneau to Whitehorse.
 The Salmon Creek properties un- der option and being developed by George R. Noble and associates were showing up well and a re- markedly rich specimen of free gold was encountered in the third vein of the lode, according to John Perelle, in charge of the develop ment, who brought the specimen into town.
 The Juneau grammar school baseball team defeated a like or ganization from Douglas on the Juneau grounds by score of 3 to 1. T. Christensen and Clement Hodges formed the Juneau battery.
 Mrs. Hazel Kirmse planned to return to her home in Skagway on the Spokane after visiting her sis ter, Mrs. J. F. Malony, here for several days.
 Weather for the previous "A hours was cloudy with rain. The maximum temperature was 55 de- grees and the minimum was 42. Precipitation was .22 inches.
 Those who took advantage of the excursion rate to Skagway and Whitehorse and left here early on the Mariposa, were, Mrs. E. P. Stowell, Mrs w. DeLong, Mrs Lena

The Seward Gateway under the heading "wHERE IS ALAsKA'S NEW DEAL?", recently complained that are not faring at all well under the New Deal" It declared
 Report from Washington indicate that
 Congress will not alter it's attitude toward
 Alaska with respect to stimulants calculated
 to assist the Territory to advance to
 point where it may go on it's own.
 Among the suggestions which have been
 turned down by the Subcommittee on Ap-
 propriations is that of increasing the activ-
 tes of the Geological Survey
 Thus we have half-loaf situation where
 in practically all legislation has been directed
 to a encouragement of the fisheries and
 nothing calculated to stimulate the Interior
 The Government retains staff of en-
 gineers in perpetuity for the purpose of
 continuing the geological work of the na-
 tion. That this service no longer claims
 the full attention of this staff of en.
 gineers in the United States proper no more
 logical proposal could be offered than that
 it continue the work undertaken in the Rail-
 road Zone in l930 and which was the great est stimulus to mining activity since the
 original Dawson rush.
 With all due respect to the Gateway believe it has spoken hastily and without consideration of the many acts of the Roosevelt Administration during the past year that calculated to benefit the Territory. U While it is true that appropriations for normal governmental activities have been pared down in Alaska the reductions porportionate with ap- propriatons for similar activities elsewhere in the country. AS we shared in cuts, so did we share also in emergency appropriations Substantial sums have been allotted from Federal appropriations for Public Works, Civil Works, Federal Emergency Re- lief and every other form of activity launched by President Roosevelt to cope with the depression. And the very activity of which the Gateway com plains, has been allotted $50,000 to expend this Summer just the work that the Seward news paper asserts beneficial in 1880 and ought to be resumed without delay
 In the matter of appropriations Alaska has not fared badly On the contrary, we have shared generously. So, also in Congress, Delegate Dimond has been successful in getting many measures through Congress because the Administrations lead CTS there sympathetic with his program, and, as Representative Sirovch of New York said recently of himself inclined to give Alaska's present Dele gate anything he wants and thinks Alaska ought to have.
