 Most of these inroads that foreign powers from abroad have made in South America are based on trade and the newly developing thought in the Latin countries of squeezing foreign capital for all is worth an example of which may be found in the recent seizure of foreign oil concessions including our own

A DEFINITE DECISION

Two results of the employee election at the AL aska Juneau mine yesterday to determine bargain ing agency among the workers bodes well for indus trial peace in this community
 In the first place. the question which has been argued for the last three years of what organization if any represented a majority of the employees has been decided. Those favcring the CIO or the Con- gress for Industrial Organization 521 ballots and those favoring the American Federation of Labor boiled 332 Only 39 were neutral. tavormg neither side.
 The second important point is that S96 of the employees out of 949 qualified vote cast their bal lots leaving no opportunity for argument that the baloting wasn't representative of all the in the mine.
 Two such clearcut decisions should lead to har mony and the cessation of industrial strife and put an end to the countless groundess which have been roaring about the community at racehorse speed for weeks and doing good for any
 Of course the ballots must first go to the National Labor Relations Board for final designation of the bargaining agency, and from the announced results it would apparent that the CIO will be named. If is as anticipated from the returns that organi zaton will have definite responsibility to it's mem bers to the community and to the company and with that responsibility accepted and lived up to- peace ful labor situation should prevail in Juneau.

Battle for Ruthenia
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Ruthenia, the sparsey inhabited far corner of what was once Czechoslovaka, becomes the focal point of the European politics revolving around Hit ler,s drive to the east.
 Persistent reports of clashes the borders ndi cate that Poland and Hungary not satisfied with the territorial settlement made for them by Germany and Italy Their desire for common frontier finds expression in the present unrest.
 Germany vetoed this scheme in her interest She wishes to keepa corridor open toward Roumania She hopes to the Ruthenians, really Ukrainians a means of agitation among the Ukramians In Russia as a prelude to her long announced attack the Russian Ukraine. Were these people under Hungarian and Polish rule it would be difficult for the Nazs to operate without antagonizing their Polish and Hungarian allies.
 Back of the Hungarian Polish ambition is first of all. 8 desire for bigger territory On Hungarys part this is a necessary step in the regaining of all war-ost territories Beyond that is undoubtedly covert fear of the German advance.
 Col. Beck made his sentiments clear several months ago when he sought to set up string of cen-
 al European states that would act buffer against Communism from one side and Nazsm from the other Poland realizes that in the event of German Russian clash she will be the battle field and that the outcome might be fatal to the warrevived Polish na- tion Hungary, while it is forced to tag along with Hitler like all other nations in that region, has mis- givings about her future under Nazi tutelage.
 Hence in some degree this present agitation is late attempt to erect an anti-Nazi barrier for what it may be worth in future politics. It is like locking the barn after the horse is stolen. The time for the creation of such a barrier in the early postwar years but national interests then loomed larger and the German menace seemed far away. Unless these states can receive support from the larger powers Britain and France particularly any anti-Naz steps they take now will be useless And on the possibility of Anglo-French backing it is waste of time to discourse Hitler is going to have his way in central Europe without regard for the ambitions of his smaller allies.
