IF JOSEPH sTALIN SAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
(The Anchorage Daily Times)

(The Anchorage Daily Tmes)
 If you have ever wondered what 1t would be like to have dictatorship in America, you get a rough idea by imagining that Franklin Roosevelt was replaced at this moment in history, by Josef Stalin.
 It wouldn't take very great stretch of imagination because these two statesmen facing the of difficulties these days They being troubled by poIi- tical party revots. In Moscow and in Washington growing reluctance to go along with the big chief is ev- ident
 Suppose then, that we had dictatorship in this country and that Stain in the White House What would be happening?
 First of all We would see a ruthless purge" in the Democratic party. Such people Senators Carter Glass, Jimmy Byrnes and Royal s. Copeland-to name only few-woud be forthwith, as saboteurs and eounterrevoutiOnists Senator Vandenberg would been shot long of course, along with Ali Landon, John Hamilton. and Senator Borah.
 The revision plan, the relief bill the reorgan- ization pan and all other administration measures would be passed without the changing of a the ting of an ii"
 The Republican party obviously, would have ceased to exist, and any fragments of the Democratic party which failed to play ball with the White House likewise would to exist And there would be in all the country a newspaper, radio commentator, politician magazine editor who would dare utter word of objection
 And while we're on the subject-the labor unrest iu the middle yves. rould be settled very speedily; Tom Girdler and John L. Lewis would face the same firing squad for iLteupting steel production latest five year plan.
 Now compare that picture with what actually har- pening in this country
 Instead of shooting his brother Democrats Mr Roosevelt is obliged take island n Chese- Peake Bay, throw big dinner into them and try the gentle of persuasion That persuasion coupled with compromises his part, represents his only chance get his legislative program through congress Persua son likewise, is his only in the steel strike
 These two ways-the way Of dictatorship and the way of demoeracy-are in striking contrast the tast worth bearing in mind For it easy to grow weary of the seeming Inefciency of demoeracy-the amending wranging compromise argument, and salIng
 Yet those things the alternative to the sort af thing that has been happening in Russia And ir end they infinitely efficient than the rule Of the most closely knit dictatorship that existed

 Her demands that China blame for the shoot ing rav regardless Of the that Japanese vng on night Tnaneuvers Chinese territory and had no business there, recall the .tacties of 1851.
 Her attempts to arrange 9 settlement with the North China political council rather than with Ranking indicate her desire to locaze the issue, deal with less effective government and carry her theory that North China like Manehuris within her sphere of influence
 Her offer to help police North China against Com r1nsrn is patent bid open that vast territory to her troops.
 Her warlke preparations home argue that she be- eves the time is ripe for second putseh that would extend her imperial the Chinese mainland north of the Yellow River Doubtless she believes that Russias internal disafection and Brtais preoccupation with Spain and other problems will leave her free reign to deal with China unchallenged-
 But Japan today confronts China much better able to defend her borders than in 31. Ranking has made peace with the Communist generals. She has German trained army of at least alf-mlion effective fighters Fn if GeneraIissimo hiang Kai-shek would plead for eace at any price it is doubtful that he could hold back his peoples or his armies
 For the first time in modern history China feels her self ,1e to defend her national sefesteem with force and parry blow for blow That very fact makes the pres ent crisis dangerous from world viewpoint

SEAL TO FEED DEER
 DRIVEN TO BEACHES
 BYHEAVY SNOWFALL

Uneasiness as to the welfare of deer in Southeast Alaska following the late deep snowfall today re- suited in the scheduling of the Alaska Game Commission vessel Seal to leave Juneau this weekend to carry to Warden H. R. Sarber, at Petersburg, feed for deer re- ported to have been driven to the beaches in the Wrangell Narrows district.
 Feed or the deer will consist of alfalfa meal and special cakes, sent to the Game Commission for trial, by the New York State Game Department, which has reported excellent results with them, Execu- tive Officer Frank Dufresne said. The deer cakes are made up of pressed alfalfa meal, soy bean meal and molasses.
 ! After leaving feed with Warden Sarber, the Seal will go to the Icy Straits district, to feed deer reported on the beaches there. As the Game Commission has no funds for the purpose, the money for the feeding of the deer has come from donations by wealthy Eastern sportsmen.

GOLD TAX BILL IS UNDER FIRE AT. SENATE HEARING.
L. H. Metzgar, Other Min ing Men Appearing Be-
 fore Senate Committee

With the mining tax one of the most important matters to come before the Legislature, the Terri torial Senate this afternoon re- solved itself into a committee of the whole to consider the Brunelle gross gold tax bill and was still hearing speakers on the subject late this afternoon.
 The Brunelle bill would levy a three per cent tax on gross produc- ton of gold and platinum mines and a graduated net tax on other mining operations.
 After little jockeying and all legations of attempted gag rule, the Senators turned the discus sion into a public hearing and l.. H. Metzgar, General Superintend- ent of the Alaska Juneau, was granted the first opportunity to speak. He told of the operations of the A. J. from its inception and urged the lawmakers in all revenue measures to consider first the ques- tion of promoting the present in dustries and furthering develop ment.
 Tt is more important I believe, ' he told the Senators, ito keep the present industries in operation and further development of these in dustries than it is to raise addi- tional revenues"
 The mining man suggested IL might be well to determine about how much revenue should be rals- ed before levying too heavily against any indutry He cited that his own company pays some 39O,- 900 annually in taxes to the Ter ritory now and that if the Brun- elle bill passed it would be at least doubled, and probably would be more than doubled.
 Referring to the high price of gold, the Superintendent pointed out that under the prevailing high price the pay streak has been broadened In other words, lower grade ores can be worked at a profit at the $35 an ounce price whereby they could not under the old figure.
 MT. Metzgar was being question ed an several othsr interested parties were being heard during 1 the late afternoon session.
