 The part played by merchant vessels naval auxliaries in time of has frequently been stressed in these columns In particular, mention has been made of the British merchantmen which were used to blockade the North Sea during the World War. But merchant marine also performs an import ant function when nation is neutral, as we were during the Napoleonic wars (prior to 1812) and dur ing the World War down to April 1917, in trans porting the lawful commerce of this nation with the nations at war During the first years of the last war goods piled up for months at our seaports awaiting available ships to carry them across the Atlantic. In time built up own merchant marine enough to help carry large volumes of exports During the Napoleonic not only carried practically all of our own trade in our own bottoms but carried much of the com merce of other nations-to the great profit of many American shippers.
 it requires years of work and extensive preparations ashore as well as investments in ships in order to establish a successful shipping business. In this country because of the high costs of construction and operation, it is virtually impossible for shipping companies to exist without Government assistance This has been fairly reliable and con- sistent in the past but there are indications that the present Administration may make drastic atera- tions in this respect The name given to the type of assistance is far less important than the that whatever assistance is decided upon may be steadily relied upon-and is, of course, large enough to make it possible to operate economically. The very fact that merchant marine is, in fact, weapon of national defense justifies Government aid which to other institutions might not be war raned It is the nations good fortune that the President is personally familiar with the needs of the merchant marine and with it's role in the nations life. Hence he can be relied upon to do the right thing by the shipping industries

A FIGHT THAT DIDN'T OCCUR.

The much touted bitter fight that predicted over the Speakersfip of the National House of Representatives has failed to occur. Congressman Joseph W. Byrnes of Tennessee, Democratic leader of the last House of Representatives, has been ceded the position. The withdrawal of Reprsen- tative Rayburn assured MT Byrnes clear majority in the Democratic caucus.
 The termination of the contest predicted by Delegate Dmond last Summer and generally looked for by the knowing
 MT Byrnes has long been of the inside leaders of the Democrats in Congress. His seec- tion as Speaker will undoubtedly result in harmon ious and effective leadership in the House. He is able and personally popular. He is always agree able and possesses a keen sense of humor; is fond of his fellow members in Congress and is liked by them. He has one of the longest continuous records of service in Congress. He to the fore front of prominence following the choice of Vice President Garner to the Democratic leadership. Throughout the years since, he and MT. Garner have been close political friends and allies.

FIND CHRISTMAS SPIRIT IN STORES.

Anyone who can't get into the Christmas spirit because there is no snow the ground, should visit the Juneau shops where merchants today are hold ing "open house." There is enough Christmas spirit in any one of the stores Seward Front Streets to make up for the Christmas atmosphere that would be furnished by the ground.
 In fact, recalling the severely cold weather, ex- perienced at this time of the month last year. Juneauites might combine a belated prayer of Thanksgiving with their Christmas spirit, and be happy that winter is nearly half gone and that so far the weather has been exceptionally mild Though Che lack of may be regretted by some, chances are that Santa Claus will put wheels on his sleigh or does he use an airplane nowadays-and find his way to Juneau in spite of mild weather However there is plenty of time between and Christmas for MT. H. J. Thompson to fix up this weather question, in the youngsters in town and their friend MT Claus become really nsstent upon white Christmas.

He asked, If it is wrong for the in- dividual to arm himself and kill, then where is the logic of a nation arming itself and staying thou sands?

Ducks Out of the Depression.

 Ssh! Not word about it to the hunters, but the New Deal has recovery program for the ducks. It won't under the NRA, but for all that, the chiseers-meaning the arch enemies of duckdom- will be looked after. The Biological Survey, true to it's name has been surveying the national field it relates to wild ducks, and it finds nothing especially encouraging to the ducks, except such manful plans are in the making.
 These, in their tentative stage, call for the restoration of million of marginal land of the Central States to their original wild condition and before the next breeding season. Competition of the cutthroat dead-shot kind is to be curbed. Hunters will be kept out regulated until the ducks have fair chance. That's the plain social justice and offthe-record report has it that the wild ducks have just held a national convention at which they adopted resolution pledging their heartiest cooperation, thus following the lead of organized business in the country.

TRIALS Of POLICE
BY CITIZENS ASKED
Stanton Park Association
Holds Accused Should Not
Come Before Superiors.

The District Commissioners were re-
quested by the Stanton Park Citizens
Association last night to seek power
from Congress to create civilian trial
board for the District for the Fire and
Police Departments.
The resolution adopted proposed that
the board consists of three civilians,
residents of the District. who have no
connection, directly or indirectly, with
the District government, one member
of the board to be an attorney at law.
In adopting the resolution the diff
Guilty in obtaining unbiased officers OF
the Police Department to try policemen
was pointed out. Punishment OF fire.
men had been too severe in proportion
to the offenses in some cases, it was
said. Justice will better be served by
appointment of the civilians who are
unbiased and otherwise are totally un-
interested in the case before them, the
resolution stated
Stull Presents Resolution.
Harry N. Stull. who introduced the
resolution, pointed out it is not in the
best interest of justice that the respec-
tive heads of the department making
the charges should designate the trial
board from among the superiors OF the
men to be tried.
Resolutions were ordered sent to the
District Commissioners and the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations.
Sergt William F. McDuffie, appearing
in place of Capt. Richard II. Mansfield
of No. precinct asserted his approval
of the proposal, adding that policemen
were often brought to trial when not
wholly necessary The serving of extra
hours" as a means of punishment for
violation of police regulations, is a
practice in the Police Department., he
said.
The crowded conditions existing at
Eastern High School were stressed by
A. H. Gregory, chairman Of the aSSo-
cations school committee, who as
serted the school now housed $500
pupils instead of the 1000 for which it
was built to accommodate. AT present
the school is being operated on the
double shift, he said, one class going
from till o'clock and the other from
il till o'clock.
Getting Nowhere Fast"
MIR. Stull said the Commissioners had
told him it took IS months to draw up
plans for senior high school, II
months for the same work on Junior
high school and four months to draw
up the plans of an elementary school.
The Budget Bureau, he said, would not
recommend appropriations to build
schools now and the Commissioners
would not begin work without a full
appropriation. We are getting nowhere
fast, Mr.. Stull said.
S. Merton Chipley was appointed
chairman of the Membership Commit
lee, which is instituting a drive in the
Stanton Park section for new members.
He reported D. H. Nipe and Arthur j..
Mcmillan as new members in the asso-
ciation.
