An Empire Thwarted
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 One of the most significant trends in world politics the lack of and poise that has developed among Britain's leaders. It is trend which is difficult to measure to identify clearly. Yet multitude of little events and remarks testify to it's existence
 The failure of the London Government to call Mussoni's bluff in the Mediterranean is the most spectacular instance The reversal of British policy with respect to the league is another. The growth of insurgence in Egypt and Palestine abetted by the Italians is a somewhat different indication, but no less telling Mere plain than any of these hints, however the evident inability of the British cabinet to chart a clear course and follow it through.
 It remained for MT. David Lloyd George, active despite his years to give vivid expression to the feel ing many Britons undoubtedly share. In the debate following Captain Eden's restatement of policy toward the Ethiopian affair and the league, Lloyd George mustered his utmost skill in sarcasm to castigate the government which was announcing policy of retreat @a AEs'
 T have been in the House nearly half a cen tury" he said and I cannot recall an occasion like this have never before heard British Minister come down to the Commons and say Britain was beaten-Brtain and her empire beaten-and that must abandon an enterprise we have taken ln hand.
 That is not the empire I thought would ever say, after six months with less of life and only 100000 pounds of trade oss we beaten, we cannot go on. It is unique occasion and may God repeat it in this empire
 They are harsh words, and somewhat overdrawn, for many considerations support the shift of British policy Yet Lloyd Georges bitter indictment un- doubtedly expresses the honest chagrin of multi tude of Englishmen It epitonlizes in sharp words the decay of moral courage in government which the world had to look upon as peculiarly un- yielding in issues of imperial Whether that decay is momentary the beginning of a larger decline the future must tell But it is safe to say that policy of rearmament will of itself restore the confidence of government which does not know it's own mind.

JOIN THAT FOURTH CELEBRATION

Saturday is the Fourth of July, Americas great Independence Day. In Juneau it is to be celebrated in the good old fashioned with diversity of program which assures a good time for children and adults parade is to be a feature and the Rev o. L. Kendall parade chairman, reports a fairly repre- sentative number preparing to decorate their machines and take part.
 No real Fourth of July celebration is complete without good parade Let's all get interested in that parade and make it an event worthy of the day. It isn't much of effort to get little bunting and a few flags decorate the car. There are enough automobiles in Juneau and vicinity to make it mile long Let's try and make it at least half of that
 Fourth of July celebrations are almost extinct in many parts of the States. Paved roads and auto mobiles have taken the people from the cities at the first hint of holiday. Here in the north with our limited road facilities we still celebrate the oc casion as in the original There is always plenty of time after the celebration to drive out our short stretch of highway.
 The time may when we too through force of circumstances brought by improved transpor- aon facilities may have to abandon the traditional Fourth of July parade and celebration But that time has not yet arrived. So let's take advantage of the situation as it exists and join in making this years parade and celebration something to be hark- ened back to in future years.

THE CONSTITUTION

The mail brings still another copy of the Con- suton of the United States for which we are deeply grateful. It is excellent document, as most of us admit, with its twenty-one amendments attached. And it is one to which too much circulation can not be given. It should be read at intervals to freshen the mind the rights and liberties it guarantees the individual in this nation
 But it cannot be overlooked that the Constitu- tion is document of the whole people It belongs to no party or creed It is the foundation on which every American citizen stands. Propaganda has been circulated extensively in the last year two aimed to show that the Constitution being kept only by the Republican party. It is of course campaign fodder due to the action of the Supreme Court in declaring unconstitutional certain acts passed by the Democratic Congress. The whoopla has been raised in loud voice that the Democratic party going anti Constitution. All straight thinking Americans know this to be unfounded in fact But, while guarding sacredly the rights of all citizens under the Consti- tuition, the Democratic party is constantly looking forward to betterment of conditions for the whole people
 The platform recently adopted at the Phiadel- pha convention very honestly states that if drought dust storm conditions, minimum wages maximum hours child labor, working conditions in industry monopolstic and unfair business practices cannot be handled adequately by the fortyeght states and If these problems be solved by legislation within OOiAob4NuOiOAlt sought There isn't any anh-Consttuton in that plank, any more than there is in the statement of Governor Landon, the Republican nominee sent to the Republican convention at Cleveland. MT Landon said he hoped the writers of the Republican platform were right and that changes as suggested could be obtained under the Constitution as it now stands but, he added, If that opinion should prove to be erroneous, want you to know that if nominated and elected, l shall favor constitutional amendment permitting the state to adopt such legislation as may be necessary adequate to protect women and children in the matter of maximum hours, minimum wages and working conditions"
 The Constitution is not in jeopardy. It has been amended twenty times and it still stands as the guarantor of American rights and liberties It can be amended again if the majority of the people of the United States desire in endeavor to further
 better social existence without in any way endanger ing our rights and liberties.
 In the meantime, it is recommended for reading again by all American citizens as well as those who propose to become citizens Too many of us have

The farm kidnap problem. as Secrer

farmers dollar more than the farmers

There was a twinkle in Wallace's
eye at a press conference yesterday
when he discussed Capitol Hill de-
mands that the A. A. A. make public
O list Of all farmers who received
$4,000 year. or more, in benefit
payments.
A reporter suggested similarity be-
tween the benefit payment list and
the pink slip" law requiring income
tax publicity repealed year ago. 1t
was suggested that publication of the
benefit payment list might subject
farmers to the fear of kidnapping ex-
pressed by some income taxpayers be-
cause of the pink slip" publicity.

their activities to the farmers

Today came an official statement
that Wallace did not mention the

counter between him and Senator

benefit payments; the A. A. A. says
1t has not the time nor facilities now
to inspect 20,000,0 900 cards of A. A. A.
data and compile the list.
vandenberg said he had informa-
ton that some of the payments were
enormous and declared the public Is
entitled to know about every penny
going out Of the Treasury" Wal
lace, in reply, was quoted in news
papers as saying that if a list were
published, it might be misused by
commercial people and political
people"
Vandenberg retorted that "if Mr..
Wallace means it would be politically
dangerous to let the information out,
he may be right" The Senator in
quired if it were true that a great
New York bank" benefited to the ex-
tent Of $705,000 from A. A. A. pay

company received 1851, ,064."
