Manufacturing Not Commerce
(NeW York TimeS)

(New York Times)
 In the decision of Federal Judge Otis at Kansas City that the Wagner Labor Act is invalid the main point is clear. It is that Congress has no con- stitutona power to regulate labor relations any thing else, in manufacturing. It regulate com merce between States, but it cannot go to private employer within State and tell him how he must conduct his business. The authors of the Wagner Labor Act were of course, aware of this fundamental principle but they sought to establish Federal control of all labor relations by bringing them under the interstate commerce clause of the Con- stitution. In the case before Judge Otis, for ex- ample, which that of flour mill, it was in geniously argued for the Government that if the employees not satisfied with conditions they might strike the strike might close the mill, and thus reduce the amount of flour entering into com merce between the States. Judge Otis made short work of this distinction, spun much too fine. He alluded to the fact that bill pending in Con gress to amend the Constitution provides that Fed eral control shall extend to all commerce, business, industry finance, banking, insurance manufacturing, transportation, agriculture and the production of natural resources Under such a constitutional provision the Judge said the Wagner Labor Act would be constitutional. But without something of the kind it plainly is not. We shall in time find out what the Supreme Court has to say about this.
 It does not appear that the Otis opinion threw any light upon the mysteries of collective bar gaining" The right to have it is contained in the Wagner act. But what does it really mean? In the before Judge Otis the employees of the flour mill had union of their own. This obtained, after prolonged disputes an increase in wages and a shortening of hours. But it made the further demand that the mill should be closed shop To this the employers refused to agree which led to the shutting down of the mill and the ap- pearance on the of Federal agents to look into the "offense' of declining to correct unfair practices. But does collective bargaining imply that the workers must always win all of their demands? l sensible met his men and talked with them their griev- ances and requests he was bargaining with them collectively if he did not concede everything they asked. But apparently those sent to enforce the Wagner Labor Act would not assent to this They seemed to take the view that whatever is col lectively bargained for must be granted outright One would have liked to hear Judge Otis this point.

THE REPUBLICAN PROTEST

Judging from the noise heard from Republican sources against the New Deal, it to be assumed that the c. O. P. campaign war chest would be filled to overflowing. But although Chairman Fqetch- CT recently named group with adequate Bradstreet rating to fill the coffers, it begins to appear that the boys have not begun to function yet else those expected to donate well satisfied with the Roosevelt Administration they have decided to hang on to their money.
 That is the inference one draws from the latest boomerang gesture of Chairman Fletcher in demand ing equal time with President Roosevelt the radio The President is delivering his annual mes custom. Presidents like every one else gives an account of jobs, and executives offer recommenda- tons and suggestions That is what the President Is doing as usual Newspapers, associations and the radio realize it is news and the people want to hear and read what the Chief Executive has to say. The radio, through its media of broadcasting arranged to have the President speak on the net works
 Up pops Chairman Fletcher with the assertion that it is just campaign speech" The Republicans demand equal amount of time to answer immediately, he pipes in loud voice One of the big radio networks has already properly replied that the G. o. P can have much time the President, or more if it chooses, simply by paying for it. The other national hookup has ignored the rawlings of Mfr Fletcher, which is another nice way of saying the same thing.
 MT. Fletcher and the rest of the Republican high command know full well that the President of the United States is matter whether he ad- dresses Congress goes fishing He news because the voters of this country his employers are inter ested in knowing what he is doing and proposes to do They have the right to know, and MT. Fletcher if Mir Hoover in the White House would be the first to acclaim it. The conclusion then is obvious The Grand Old Party leaders are just trying to grab little free advertising It is stoop-

What Have We Yielded?
Cincinnati Enquirer)

It is commonly said that in formulating his new policy of requiring exporters to trade with bel ligerent nations .at their risk President Roosevelt abandoned the freedom of the seas doctrine. It is often said also that it this doctrine for which fought in the World War Both statements have an element of truth. But either is somewhat deceptive. Freedom of the seas" is a little too grandiloquent to have an accurate meaning.
 Officially the freedom of the seas has meant that claimed the immunity of all private property at sea from capture confiscaton by belligerent Powers-excepting contrabrand of war. The excep- tion is most significant. Our Government never in history sought to defend the right to ship con- traband of war immune from capture.
 And since the term "contraband" has come to include everything of the slightest value in the prosecution of war, the exception has come to be the rule. We have claimed in reality merely the right to ship certain innocuous merchandise to bel lgerents or neutrals without it's being subject to capture Freedom of the seas" in other words, has been whittled away through the decades as begerents have extended their lists of contraband goods.
 President Roosevelt did indeed abandon the American claim to freedom of the seas" And that was a momentous Step-one calculated to re- duce considerably the danger of our being drawn into war. But we did not yield so very much. for the freedom of the had become a phrase to cover the trade in non-essentals trade that does not bulk very large in war time. We are fortunate to have got rid of our somewhat fanatical devotion to the freedom of the seas,' for it drove into more wars than one But the sacrifice required of foreign traders by the abandonment of that doctrine should not be over estimated. What we gave up doctrine that had lost nearly all it's meaning.

ALASKA INTERESTS IN CONGRESS

Alaska is vtally interested in the session of Congress which convened today Not alone from the standpoint of national legislation which it s like all sections, naturally but it is inter- ested especially in matters that bear directly the Territory Mining fishtraps, air mail and ava- tion are among the leaders and there other things such as the International Highway and improvement of rivers and harbors which have important bearing.
 There is the possibility that the plan of Govern ment aid for prospectors in Alaska as advanced by Rex Beach and others may at least get a Con- gressona hearing at this session. There is hope it might be advanced further, for in the words of Gov John w. Troy in his report to the Secretary of the Interior people brought to Alaska to pros pect for gold and finding employment in public works furnish population that would make markets for agricultural products timber and other of the Territory" B. D. Stewart, Commissioner of Mines has made recommendations in connection with improving mining and mineral development in the Territory, and with Delegate Anthony J. Dimond directing and pushing the interests of Alaska the people of the North look with a degree of hope to progress in mining legislation.
 Abolishment of fishtraps will again come before the body, being carried from the last session Air mail is due for a thorough going over, and Alaskans hope for favorable decision Appropria- tion to provide air mail contracts would mean a great boon to the North in that it would bring better service, but likewise would allow Pacific Alaska Airways, which operated on schedule from Juneau to the Interior last summer to continue operations during the winter months.
 Veterans are particularly interested in the out come of the bonus demands, and vital to Alaskans as well the whole country is the action on the Neutrality Act which expires in February unless extended by the present Congress. This is the act the President has declared in effect in connection with the present Italo-Ethopia trouble
 These are only few of the matters to come before the present session, and, while they are watched closely it can only be hoped that the Congress will the wisdom of dispatching all legislation with a modest degree of speed so that business zooming along in high gear will have no cause due to prolonged session. to acquire another of the jitters.
