 Now the President has suffered another defeat, on the Supreme Court bil. In the message given out at the time he signed the lim- ited Court Revision bill passed by Congress, he implied he would fight for the balance of the original pro- posal. But he did not say so in such certain words that retreat would be later impossible.
 With the Supreme Court bill he is in the same position as with the World Court protocol and the St Lawrence Waterway treaty. He is not pledged to renewal of the ef- fort. Sincere predictions can be heard here on either side-that it will be revived or that it is dead forever.
 Obviously the answer has in the amount of birthstone put under members of Congress by opposing forces.

MOUNT PAvLOF
 ERUPTS AGAIN
Scenic Spot to Westward Is Mapped by Geo.
 logical Survey

Mount Pavlof, one of Alaska s highest volcanoes, on July 25 strik- ingly demonstrated that 1t is still active by showering the land and sea for distance of 50 m l c S around with a thin layer of ash. This mountain, only seven miles from the Pacific Ocean, rises to an altitude of 8,900 feet. more than twice the height of It's famous cousin Vesuvius, on the other side of the world, which is about 4,300 feet high. Pavlof stands near the southwest end of the Alaska Pen insula, not far from the center of the great arc of volcanic mountains that stretches from Cook Inlet to the tip of the Aleutian chains of islands.
 Hundreds of miles of this stretch have never been mapped in detail, but topographic map of the Paw lof district, covering the Alaska Peninsula from Port Moller to Deer Passage and the adjacent islands on the south, can be purchased from the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior Washington, D. C., at a nominal price. The scale of the map is about 4 miles to the inch. It was prepared by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the National Geographic Society and has just been reissued, incorporating addi- tional information.
 Stern Scenic Beauty
 This area is one of striking con- trasts and stern scenic beauty. The | imposing mountain mass of which the active Pavlof Volcano is part contains also a northern cone call ed Pavlof Sister and Aghileen Pin nacles, which dominate the scores of lesser but lofty peaks, Glaciers extend down the slopes of Mount Pavlof, their accumulated winter snow intermixed with volcanic ash. The mountain slopes are deeply cut by short, rapid streams. The adjacent lowlands are dotted with lakes. Mount Dana, east of Pavlof Bay. shelters a crater lake more than 2,000 feet above sea level.
 Sparsely Populated
 The Pavlof district is sparsely populated, but the deep harbors that indent the Alaska Peninsula both from the Pacific Ocean side and from Boring Sea are frequent ed each year by the boats of fish ermen and the yachts of hunters of big game. Caribou, bear, and fox are the most abundant game anil mals. Cod and salmon are taken

Debating the Sh-Down Strikes
What to do About LaIrS . The
Public Doesn't Like 1t

WASHINGTON-The decision for a White
House conference to discuss possible legislation
to meet the epidemic of sitdown strikes followed
weeks of confidential debate over the question
whether the strikes were helping or nlnderlng
the President. o.
The idea gradually has been sinking in that
the effect on the middle class section OF the
public mind has not been so good, especially
with reference to the Roosevelt Supreme Court
plan Most politicians talk and act as If the
court proposal were all that mattered nowadays,
and White House reactions are almost eXclu-
sively conditioned by factors pertaining to It,
Optimistic New Dealers-or some of them
figured for awhile that the sitdown strikes and
the mental diSquiet they caused would lead
public opinion to support of the Presidents plan
Some such plan would be needed, people were
expected to think, to let Congress enact such
labor legislation as the Wagner act and otner
advisable measures.
That argument has gone over very well in
labor ranks The decisions of the Supreme
Court have been cited, even by such an oppo-
nent of the plan Senator Borah OF Idaho, as
an excuse for sitdown strikers.
On the other hand the opposition appears
to have been making headway among white
collar ranks with the charge that the admins
tration's amiable attitude toward the Michigan
stdowns had indicated such a radical, pro-labor
attitude that it had become imperative to balk
it in any further reach for power.
New federal conciliation machinery probably
will be set up. But there are no signs yet
of any measure which will be distateful to Or
ganized labor Organized labor is the chief
pressure group behind the Presidents court
plan and Roosevelt isn't sapping any OF his
friends on the wrist-not until this fight Is
over, at least
You can depend on at least one new idea
popping up in every Congress and Representa-
tive Alfred N. Phillips Jr. of Connecticut has
seen to it that the current session doesn't disap-

Phillips proposes that all poisonous snakes
be killed and stuffed. He means the ones in
the ZOOS pointing out that some of the worlds
most venomous reptiles are separated from us
only by pane of glass.
I'VE are subjecting the people of this con-
tinent to an unnecessary future hazard in I'M
porting poisonous reptiles and allowing them
to live in North America" he says. In case
of earthquake, flood, or other unforeseen
disaster these creatures might escape and breed
They would be just as valuable for educational
purposes if they were stuffed as they are alive.

so THE PUBLIC
WY KNOW

1t is gratifying to learn that admin
istrative officials of the Imperial Irriga-
tion District have, at last, adopted
policy of issuing periodical bulletins to
taxpayers and other residents of the
county summing up the status of irriga-
tion district affairs. There has been
too much room in the past for the
charge that public affairs were being
kept private-that the public did not
know what was going on inside its
largest municipal corporation.
The first bulletin of its kind in the
recent history of the Imperial Irriga-
tion District went out this week over
the signature of President Evan T.
Hewes. 1t deals largely with the dis
ricts efforts to obtain construction of
a public power system in rural Imperial
county, summing up the activities of
the last few months.
The activity is not one legally required
of irrigation district officials. Records
of the district are open, legally, to any
one interested enough to inquire The
trouble has been that many people, vocal
ly interested as far as street-corner con-
ferences go, yet were not sufficiently in
terested to find out the true facts by
looking at the records. Misunderstand-
lngs have been many, and politics has
thrived, on this system.
Inauguration of the system of bull
etins, issued when the necessity arises or
when events have transpired which
should be matters of public knowledge
will do more than any other single thing
to make the public acquainted with the
largest, the most misunderstood and the
stormiest political subdivision in the
county Under the new system, there
can be no one who says: What do we
know about the district. They keep ev-
erything that happens secret"
Mr.. Hewes and other members of the
district board of directors are to be con-
graduated on their decision to go to the
people with the facts.
