FOREIGN AGENTS
REASSURED BY U. S.
Registration Does Not Imply
Disloyalty, Declares Statement
in Reply to Protest.
~ the Associated Press.

Sy the Associated Press.
The fact that agents of foreign
principals have ben required to reg
lister did not bring into question their
loyalty to American principles, the
State Department emphasized yester-
day
The department in formal state
ment said it had been informed by
several agents of foreign principals
who have registered with it under the
act of June 8, 1898, that "as a result
of their registration their patriotism
and their loyalty to American prin-
ciples has been impugned.'
In respones to a request for a state
ment to counteract this impression the
department declared:
THE department takes this oppor
tunity to point out that registration
under the act requiring the registra-
tion of agents of foreign principals
is designed merely to show the exact

nature of the connection of such an
agent to his foreign principal
The act is broad in its terms and
imposes the duty to register on many
American citizens, companies and
organizations whose work is of who'll
ly unimpeachable character. The
mere fact of registration under the
act affords no ground for assuming
that any person so registered is en-
gagged in unpatriotic activity"

CHAMBERLAIN'S DRAMATIC MOVE

The decision of Premier Chamberlain to fly to Hitler instead of sending emissary has broken all precedents and given pause to the world Never be- fore in the history of modern international relations has the head of a great government gone in person to make such appeal to the head of another gov ernment MT Chamberlain did In the history of the British Empire no Prime Minister has ever made a gesture unconventional so bold and in a way humble. In literal sense Mahomet goes to the mountain.
 Whether not actual breaks in Europe, nothing come out of the present situation more dramatic than the bold attempt to avert by the British Premier AS the New York Times points out.
 either this dramatic impulse is a supreme stroke of imaginative statesmanship it is a spectacular ad- mission of desperation When MT Chamberlain goes himself, his proposal to try to find peaceful solution to the present crisis, he acknowleges that all his emissares have failed to convince the Germans of the consequences of act of aggression Czecho slovaka He accuses Hitler of the intention to start hostities without delay and at the time recog- nzes him the arbiter, the co-arbter of Europe Viewed a recognition by Britain of the power of the Third Reich and its leader the journey has an almost incredible significance in the relations of the two Governments. If MT. Chamberain's mission should fail the immediate consequences unpredc table but will guilt have been more firmly dramatically fixed"

How Much to Discover the Link Between
 Ham and Eggs?
Philadelphia Record)

Congressman Dies reveals that his committees investigation of "un-American activities has cost, to date, $25 000
 In addition to a special premium, the revelation that Shirley Temple has abetted Communists, the Congressman says the public in exchange for the $25 ,000, has received the following benefit:
 The committee has established definite links between the Communist party in America and Mos COW, and the German American Bund and the Reich Government"
 We're not parsimonious. But We think $25 00o stiff price for that information. For two reasons:
 l. Earl Browder boss of the Communists in the LISA, told the McNaboe Committee in New York State, months ago. that U s. Reds and Moscow worked hand in hand. And it hadn't been a secret before that.
 2. The German American Bunds not only have a definite link" with the Reich Government, they have had for years and they have boasted about it to the point of carrying swastika flags in street parades
 Just why it should have cost 1000 for the Dies Committee to obtain this information can't imag- inc Unless that the cost of trying to twist it to discredit the New Deal.

THE NEIGHBOUR LAW AND
 THE EMPIRE

The Daily Alaska Empire comes under the Fair aLabor Standards Act the many other em- apoyers Alaska. but has adjusted it's scales so that its employees continue to work 48 hours per week and earn the wages as heretofore.
 Delegate Dmond in his speech in the Coliseum Theatre at Juneau said that hourly wages could be adjusted that employers and employees would not be affected by the wages and hours law. He is " proven to be correct in this statement, and that he had plan in mind for reducing the hourly wages for the first 40 A hours just enough that by paying time and half for overtime the wages the for a regular 48 hour week. re@ Since after years it will be necessary to pay time and half for all work in of 40 hours in any week, The Empire has adopted the 40 hour week Wages of the men have been reduced TT percent for the first 40 worked in any week but for all hours excess Of 40 time and half will be paid to each employee, with the result that the men will -.rwork the 4S hour week and receive exactly the m same wages per week they have been receiving During the first year after the law goes into effect October 23, 1888, the employers and em )n ployees only adopt A hour week and during the second year 42 hour week, but since eventually 40 hour week must be adopted, there is for not permanently adopting it now. It really makes difference whether adjusted to A hour ~ week or 40 hour week.
 oy4 The plan is not objectionable by of the fact that employees taking few days off will receive TT percent less because of receiving overtime The Empire had adopted policy of giving the absent employee the advantage of proper proportion of sNhis overtime if he will notify the foreman of his in
 ention take time off receive permission to do Thus the result of taking day off will not result in the lowering of wages for the remainder of the week. Moreover, employees on compensation for injuries will be given allowance for overtime that compensation rates will not be affected

We deeply interested in the latest achievement of science reported by chemists at Yae--the iso- lation of a crystalline hormone from the pituitary stinct to such extent that roosters caused to brood and set eggs and tomcats to give milk.
 The demand for tomcat milk, we venture to pre- dict will always be limited But applied to roosters anyone who has observed a rooster must have been impressed by the fact that he has entirely much leisure for his own good
 We knew hired named Charlie who disturbed by this same matter and undertook to do something about it. He arranged nest in soap box. through the bottom of which he cut two small holes He then deposited fourteen eggs in the nest captured the largest rooster in the banyard placed the fowl the eggs, with its feet sticking down through the small holes tied together under heath
 We regret to report that this experiment. was not wholly successful. The rooster remained on the nest less for full three weeks Ills heart however never seemed to be in his work As the days passed he ceased to struggle much but he continued to display deplorably non-cooperatiye spirit and while number of the eggs broken none of them matched.
 We know now, that Charles idea was sound but thirty years ahead of its time We wish We knew what has become of Charlie We should like to tell him about what the chemists at Yale have accom- pshed and how it has become possible in instill into was the one thing needed to make Charles scientific undertaking triumph that would have been writteu up in all the newspapers

 The committee in covering the point of legislative approval pointed out the need for immediate action and said

 It is obvious that the sentiment of Congress at least in the House is overwhelmingly favorable to Alaska, her people and her development plans To disspate that friendly feeling which emanates from the White House down by failing to help ourselves by refusing to help ourselves would appear to be a shor-sighted viewpoint. aimed directly at curtament of the Territorys development.
