the possibility of having Alaska another star in the union of states.
 By taking advantage of that sentiment and electine to office next Tuesday Delegate Anthony J. Dimond and the full Democratic ticket Alaska voters 1ourishing the favorable feeling for the Territory But it cannot be overlooked that failure to do that, regardless of the sincerity of purpose of the opposing candidates will tend to bring the opposite result. Cooperation from Washington naturally enough can not be expected if the Territory places in office vho are not in accord with general policies of the present. administration. It isn't necessary to be a politician to draw that conclusion It is just plain horse sense and most Alaskans believe, aware of it.
 With Delegate Dimond in Washington, there is assurance at least for the next two years that pro gress will not be deterred With in the Territorial Legislature and other Territorial offices in accord with the Alaska program the great strides toward development be continued.
 There should be no hesitancy the part of the voters next Tuesday in marking their ballots for Delegate Dimond for Treasurer Oscar G. Olson, for Senator Henry Roden and for J. P. Anderson, J. V. Davis John Mccormick and A. P Walker for the House
 These men are wholeheartedy back of the Alaska want to see the Territory go ahead. They are just as tired the rest of of seeing Alaska the tail on the Washington kite They look to the Alaska of the future flying her own flag of statehood.
 Fortunately, there is national administration which is in full support of that program. Let's go forward with it.

 Mexico Takes More United States-Owned Lands Competent observers expect the Mexican Govern ment to go on taking President Cardenas can cite any number of reasons, of them not without force There is the principle to which every govern- ment subscribes nowadays that charity begins at home and if the foreigner has rights it is just too bad Mexico has occasionally reminded Washington of things that happened after our own Revolution. outspoken MeXcans have gone far as to recall lands once in Mexico taken by Americans like Texas and California.
 But such arguments overlook thing. Amerl- cans who took land from the Mexicans in the bad old days were interested in the land Today the Car denas Government, when it takes over American owned estates is primarily interested in the land but in the taking.
 It is state of mind encountered in other places than Mexico
 Mexico would really get more good out of sen sble arrangement with the oil companies than it is likely to get out of taking the oil lands gradual process of transferring the land of Mexico to its people would bring greater results than the seizure of lands for the people. But order and graduasm are not Revolution the simple man in the street. in any street, understands Revolution.

When fascist leader speaks of the conquest of power he lays more stress on the conquest than on the power He is fighting a When the proletarian leader speaks of Seizng factories taking land he attaches more value to the seizng and the taking than he attaches to the factories the land He, too, i fighting a war.

FORWARD, TUESDAY, WITH ALASKA
 DEVELOPMENT

When Alaska voters go to the polls next Tuesday to elect Delegate Congress, Territorial IreaSurei and members of the Territorial Senate and House they will have but one paramount issue before them the present and future welfare of the IerrlVory' whether to continue the progress which has been made during the last six years, the most sohd ana permanent in its history or whether to halt develop ment and go back-back to being the tail on the Washington kite sparsely populated region under bureaucratic control from the national capital-or forward toward full Territorial form of government and ultimate statehood.
 The issue this year is a clean cut one. The cam paigr' of 1888 is not cluttered With mlnor pohCcal issues and personal political pickering as has oc- cured so many times in the past. The issue IS purely one of progress versus decay. Election o1 men to public office who in harmony With the sympathetic attention being given Alaska by the present administration will assure continued pre- gress By the token, election Of those opposed to that program will bring decline, and the gains which have been made toward getting away Aoni bureaucratic control will be lost
 Alaskans are conversant through years of eX- perience with what it means to be dominated from Washington because it has not reached the stage in its development to be self-supportng.
 For the first time in history there is national administration in power which wants to see Alaska get out of that condition It is willing to relnquis control the moment that the Territory proves it can support itself It goes further, and is cooperat- ing to the fullest in helping Alaska attain that goal
 For once the Territory is not being stfed from Washington but encouraged on every hand. The national administration urges development toward statehood and has been more than generous in financial way in helping toward that end. The sen timent emanates from the White House through the various departments and into the halls of Congress The representatives of the 48 states in Congress see
