The proposed new extension and widening of Seward Street to the Pacific Coast Dock is certain to be an expensive improvement for the taxpayers Ot Juneau.

PARIS, July g. = When quick tempered Edouard Daladier was named Premier of France on April 10. his country faced another finan- cial crisis. there was another out break of strikes and the foreign situation was reaching the crisis stage again because of the Aus trian trouble.
 NO one cherishes democracy more than I who come from the working classes" declared Daladier in one of his speeches. But he warned Frenchmen in another "un- less the nation goes to work, France may expect a dictator to make 1t work"
 Three days after he took office he was voted power to rule by de- cree. That meant that he blue-eyed' stock Daladier although he had little power in comparison with Hitler or a Mussolini, was "tempor- ary dictator" of France.
 Works for strong rranc
 The Premier went to work to re- store the Frenchman's confidence in his countrys ability to hold its place in the sun. He appealed to French patriotism in a way that Frenchmen could not ignore.
 War threatens Europe he said I1,.ot hOc hnpn weakened. We must work to make a strong France, or France is lost. He strengthened the nations arm ed forces. solidified an alliance with Britain as an offset to the Berlin Rome axis. laid the base for a three-year economic program and brought about at least temporary peace between capital and labor.
 He also devalued the franc nine per cent and raised all taxes eight per cent. Both decrees were un- popular with Frenchmen, but he seems to have convinced the nation that both were necessary. And he has cut tourists costs to help bring money into the country.
 Defense Loan Oversubscribed
 Daladier played no favorites. His increased tax decree hit capital hard, but he hit labor, too, when he told it the 40-hour week law could not be carried out to the letter.
 On May IA a defense loan Of $40 100000 was announced The next day the government reported that the French people had over subscribed the loan. On May "A the government came through with a three-year, $304, 100000 public works program to speed industrial pro- duction.
 Wild bull of the Camargue," :" Daladier is sometimes called. For he is a fighter His worst political enemies admit it, and his political career since 1892, when he was hooted out of the premiership as the Stavisky scandal led to riots, shows it.
 The wild bull" emerged from parliament's 18-day session in June with his government firmly in pow CT. Adjournment of parliament gave him free hand to rule by decree until November. So he and his ma tional defense cabinet continue to match their wits and French patriotism against the power of totalitarian governments.
 If he fails" said many poli tician as Daladier took office, there is nobody left-no known leader :" After he had gone into action, the same group echoed the words of Frenchmen in Paris cafe terraces:
 We have a strong government Now let the enemies of France watch their step"
