World Horizons
(NeW York Timesl

(New York Tmes)
 The Rockefeller Foundation began and con- tinues its many-sded activities and benefactions at home, but it has given them world horizons. This is made especially manifest in the latest annual port The work of all divisions is international in scope, and in some instances directly promotes CO., operative relationships between nations earlier years the dominant feature of its worldwide program was the creation and development of technically petent local, state and national health services But the emphasis has lately been shifted from the exten sive application of existing knowledge to the securing additional necessary to the effective and ncmical control of disease"hrough field research "
 It has not hesitated to go to the jungle to fight the yellow fever which is widely disseminated over the South American Continent east of the Andes and north of Paraguay, though it has been driven towns. A battle is king fought out the plain of Marathon, but the PerSians the Anophees. On another front campaign is being waged in Egypt, against parasites which for ages have been carried by snails Tuberculosis research is being conducted in many sectors.
 What is done for health is but indicative of what has been undertaken in other fields: natural and social sciences and the humanities. In the last of these three, the program is reversed in that there concentration certain means of cultural diff fusion to which the public looks for knowledge and enjoyment rather than research interests of scholars For one thing considerable appropriation made for the experimental development of world wide broadcasting the program including series of talks on basic English looking to planetary auxiliary language.
 It is an extraordinarily interesting and significant report, concerned it is with the whole human President Max Mason is to be especially congratulated as able administrator who now undertakes de- ferred research himself and in that science which ranScends fnitude and the universe the works of mathematical mind.

Ia national monument it amounts to about what the little boy shot at
 The Post relates with great dignity how Presi- dent Coolidge signed the proclamation setting the aside in 1925 but it neglects to state that the late President responded to the urge of those conser vatonists who would lock up Alaska and throw away the key keeping 90 per cent of the entire 60000O square miles under regulation and turning the other 10 per cent mighty interests such the Post represents to eliminate competition and to hold in custody for development if they fit In the mean time Alaskans pay exorbant prices for the products of these great interests exported from the States.
 Of course the Post is taking crack at the New Deal the first national administration in history since the regime of Woodrow Wilson which has done velt administration that is attempting to give to the Territory those advantages for advancement which would make of it great empire, and develop it to he point where it would support millions instead of the 60000 whites and Inciafis it now boosts.
 Naturally the Post would stand for special interest domination the entire nation, including Alaska, but when it swings to the support of bureaucratic domination over natural resources it reveals that the weekly editor is grasping at any old straw to make political fodder. probably prodded along by of those conservationists who fought hard to set aside Admiralty Island for bear preserve and would put Baranof and Chichagof islands in the class that the wealthy tycoons of industry could be assured that no independent pulp industry might spring up to compete with their monopolies

Playing Their Ace
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 Secretary Cordel Huls recent defense of the reel proca trade pacts may be considered the aministra tions opening gun of the campaign, far the important question of tariffs is concerned MT Hull has conducted his foreign trade program not a Democrat but public servant There has been hint of partisan bias favoritism in the making of these admirable treaties. But when it time for campaign MT Hull properly rises to the defense of his treaties particularly since they under fire from the opposition.
 Perhaps it is just well the Democrats to play their immediately For their tariff record is the strongest claim they have to public support The benefits of these reciprocal treaties above party It would be pity if the Republicans to make their opposition to the pacts major feature of their campaign If they did they would be obliged to abandon the tariff policy, should they come to power.
 Actually the leading figures of the G. O. P. are not hostile to these tariff agreements. MT. Stinson formerly Secretary of State has ndorsed them whole lheartedly. MT Ogden Mills, formerly Secretary of the Treasury has indicated his approval of their sub stance. Many other Republicans have shown that they do not believe in the sort of protectionsm which found expression in the Shoot -Hawey treaty and which did so much to augment the severity of the depression.
 Since the election is likely to be close and either party may win it would be in the public interest for the Republicans to avoid further tariff commitments so that the general principle of reciprocal tariff pacts may be retained in future
