Roosevelt to Retire IN 40,
ssSpiinx of Polite" Arers

MANCHESTER BY THE SEA,
Mass, June pam assertion that
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
would not be a candidate for a
third term has come from Colonel
Edward Mandell House, once known
as the maker Of Presidents" and
the sphinx Of politics"
In an interview-and he rarely
grants one-the diminutive, white
haired Texan, suggested the Presi-
dent 'will probably do some writing
after he retires."
Asked if he thought the Presi-
dent would seek another term, Colo
mel House asserted: Roosevelt will
not be candidate for a third term
President Roosevelt is my friend,
Colonel House said, then steered the
interviewer away from any discus
sion of administration policies.
This man, who gained information
al attention through the war. today
sees nothing but world peace-but
peace for the United States, he
said, lies in strong merchant mar
inc and a powerful navy.
Colonel House, who was President
Woodrow Wilson'S personal envoy
during the feverish days of the
World War, arrived here last week
for his fortieth summer on Massa-
chusetts's North Shore.
Approaching his seventy ninth
birthday and slightly stopped by
age, Colonel House-the title is an
honorary one-is still keen and OBJ
servant.
From his retreat here he watches
the movements in international pol
itics, reviews the past, ponders, and
speculates as to the future as il
will affect the nation and the world
In his study. adorned with pic
lures of Wilson and President Fran
kiln D. Roosevelt, Colonel House re-
called the situation of the United
States today and pointed to its po-
sition in 1917 q
The League of Nations, the cove
nant of which House said he wrote
and revised with President Wilson
at the T. Jefferson Coolidge estate
in Magnolia, still is one of the Colo
nels pet subjects.
II believe the solution of many
'of the worlds problems is in the
league" he said, expressing an opin-
ion that the United States would
have been in the league if Wilson
had retained his health.

JURIST OF SAN
DIEGO VISITS

Judge Gordon Thompson Of the
Superior court of San Diego, Cal.
was Juneau visitor while aboard
the Prince Robert Wednesday, but
his thrill at seeing Alaskan sights
for the first time was somewhat
married by the fact that his wife has
been bed-ridden for the past three
days with an infected left elbow.
The infection came about sudden
ly and without an apparent cause.
1t was treated in Prince Rupert and
was to receive further medical at
tention in Skagway. Judge Thomp-
son. who has handled mainly GRIM
inal cases in the past. will devote his
attention to civil matters on his re-
tarn, he said.

What 1t Means, This CO
Battle With Henry Ford
BY MORGAN NJ. BEATTY
APP Feature SerDtce Writer

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Henry
Ford and John l.. Lewis are fighting
the decisive battle in a campaign
that will go down in history as the
industrial war of the Goth century.
The stake is industrial democracy,
and the winner will dictate the
trend of a new era, whether he
wants to or not.
If fight fan we're describing the
struggles he would call 4tsa .'naturar
or "grudge" fight.
Why?
: Because Ford developed the sys-
tenn of mass production and built
his industrial empire on 1t.
And Lewis developed industrial
unionism, a form or organized la
Dor that fits production meth
DDS like glove.
One Big Union
Industrial unionism in Lewis
view is the organization of workers
by industries instead of callings. He
says automobile plant workers call
themselves automobile workers,
whether they happen to be boiler
makers, sheet metal workers, or put
ters-in of screws and bolts along the
assembly line.
This is contrary to the old Amer
lean Federation of Labor idea which
organized its men by crafts, SO that
workers In O mass production in
dustry, we're members of many un-
; ions, and therefore subjected to
inter union quarrels and divisions.
The industrial union naturally fits
mass production methods. Craft
unions do not.
Industrial democracy is vague
term whose meaning may have a
special significance to each person
who uses it. AS Lewis sees it, how
ever, Industrial democracy calls for
political organization Of union men
to complement their industrial or
ganization SO they may bring pres
sure on legislators, governors, ETC..
to get what they want.
Also, an industrial democrat will
point out that the United States
has been politically democratic from
is birth, but industrially autocratic
because those who controlled indus
tries were masters in their own bal
I! liwicks.
Two Ways to Same End
Thus the struggle between Ford,
the greatest and perfectly typical
American industrialist, and Lewis.
the modern-day union leader, was
| inevitable. 1t was as natural as
was the meeting between Napoleon
and wellington. or Grant and Lee
Just as Wellington's victory scrap
ped the map of Europe, and Grants
triumph changed the course OF
American history. SO will Ford or
ACWAo--UAlC VI WIG OtAASA SSt eAA~
compass for new industrial era
Will it be Lewis's industrial de-
mocracy Or Ford's friendly, auto
cracy" with workers as partners?
Lewis frankly admits he's the
champion of industrial democracy
Its chief ingredient, he says, is col
lective bargaining, "wherewith tc
demand and secure participation for
the worker in the increased wealth
and increased productive efficiency
of modern Industrial America"
Ford has pronounced his credo
time and time again by declaring
his workers don't need to elect rep
resentatives to bargain with him
that they already have what Lewis
claims they haven't got - fan

 Some of the ladies brought cake, others salad or sandwiches and Mrs Ed. Miller made three gallons of ice cream.
 Freddie Oates hauled the picnickers out in his truck The crowd of joy seekers. were unable to get any fur ther than Peterson's place on account of the impossible road. Anyway the idea was to get out of town and flH the childrenup on ice cream and cake
 The Wandering Reporter tagged along and made the coffee while Miss Peasgood arranged the eats for serv- ing. Coffee done, the tw0sthen started what seemed to be an endless job of serving. the children, the grown-ups helping themselves. The children might have complained of not getting enough ice cream last year, but they fell short by half a gallon of clean ing it all up this time. After about five helpings down them, coax and beg as one might, not another spoon ful could they eat.
 After lunch, races were. held and candy was handed out by Miss Peas good to the winner.
 Just when everyone had started to enjoy themselves, storm started up and the picnickers were compelled to abandon their enjoyment and all were loaded in the truck and away for Ia kotna and home.
 The end of nice ride, a good feed and another school year.

WE APOLOGIZE TO OUR READERS

The, Kusko Times finally got stuck" The dearth of news of any kind compelled us to "pfug this issue with anything iH or der to fill out with enough read ing matter of some kind to keeY the paper from missing an issue entirely. This condition was due, almost entirely to the annual spring. '6reak-up" period when there are no planes travelling and our correspondents have been un@ able to send in their regular news budgets
 However, now that the break up is over for another year, we expect to be back in the old swing of things and again publishing q normal newspaper once more, both in size and in contents.
 If our correspondents will send a fair budget of news this week, we shall endeay0r to issue an eight page paper in an effort to make up to some extent for the slack news weeks we. have had to contend Eith-
