THE ALASKA AIR BASE AGAIN

There probably isn't any particular objection to a congressional committee coming to Alaska to n- spect sites major air base in the Territory. We'll be glad to show the committee few choice sites. But it does that in view of the fact that Congress convenes in January and there is no ikei- hood of such inspection being made prior to that time that it will be summer before such an eXpe- dition could come north That means it would be at least another year before the committee could make up its mind let alone what it might try to convince Congress of after it got back to Washington.
 In view of the Iact that Col. Louis Johnson, Assistant Secretary of War and other high ranking officials this past summer made extensive surveys Alaska for the sole purpose of considering Army air base sites and the Navy for has been doing the same thing, and is actually started on its program of defense in the north it would appear that fairly thorough knowledge of the need for Alaska defense would be available to Congress at this time is Col Johnson who has reiterated time and time again in the last year that the national defense program is inadequate He has pointed out the need for enlarging that program from the Arctic to Panama The same thought has been expressed by President Roosevelt and scores of others converant with the national picture
 With the countless reams of information which has been amassed on the defense program by men who should know their business and doubtless do the report that the Appropriations Committee will not vote funds for Alaska air base until committee has made another investigation seems to be just another way politely saying there will be funds at this session of Congress for Alaska air base.
 It is to be hoped that the members of the com mttee who stand convinced at this time will take broader viewpoint when they actually get down to action on the defense program

THE PRESIDENT RE-OUTLINES
 THE COURSE

Every liberal minded person in this country will find encouragement in the declaration of American principles by President Roosevelt in his address yes terday in North Carolina His pronouncement was acknowledgement that we have national leadership which is looking forward and not to the rear Its sights raised on improvement and progress and not reaction with its resultant decay.
 There no indication of sore spots as result of the recent election in the Presidents remarks. Rather there was evidence of strong fundamental principles which well enough founded to surmount petty politics. There was a definite ring of true Americanism which can prove to world highly spotted with dictatorshps that democracy survive when it continues course of justice and freedom.
 And, as the President stressed, it is important to prove it as this time when political racketeering runs rampant in many countries of the world and peo- pies beaten down into uncertainty by the process Of cutting off the of enlightenment It is i'm portant to prove after l50 years of successful demonstration, that freedom of speech is funda

Toward Trade Recovery
Cincinnati Enaulrerl

Signature of reciprocal trade agreements with Great Britain ard Canada has special importance just now The event strengthens the solidarity of the EngIish-speakng democracies at moment when they need that solidarity to combat by such means as are possible the Fascist mroads against civilized standards of life
 The event also strengthens materially the Amer1- can program of restoring world trade by tariff reduc- tions applicable to all countries This not the barter agreements and narrow trade promotion schemes of certain foreign nations. holds out genuine hope of lasting improvement in world commerce
 The United States Great Britain and her colonies. and Canada all taken together account for one-thrd that they can agree on forward-looking measures to reduce trade barriers is not only encouraging but definitely helpful For we not going to see an end of the political chaos in the modern world before the economic chaos is remedied It is Secretary Hus program of economic appeasement more than Prime Minister Chamberlans policy of political concessions to the dictatorshps which holds out promise of stability for the world tomorrow.
 The immediate results of the two new trade pacts are not likely to be great Concessions were made on thousand items of international trade But most of the tariff reductions were small American farmers stand to gain substantial markets. Certain manu- featuring industries also count on larger foreign sales.
 In return we can look for increased imports in several lines The concessions granted by the United States however, seem unlikely to injure any domestic industry seriously If a few of them face slightly increased foreign competition they reasonably certain to be compensated fully by the benefits they get from a general improvement in economic activity.

Profit Sharing
CNew York Times


 In Washington a subcommittee of the Senate has begun hearings on profit-sharing in American in- dustry It is acting under resolution introduced by Senator Vandenberg Its purpose is to establish an authentic record of profitsharing in this country and to examine the advsability of granting 'ncen- tive" tax exemption to corporations which adopt such plans The proposal is offered means of checking the growth of Federal regulation and of encouraging industrial peace
 Profit-sharing, both here and abroad, has had a long history but spread. recent survey in the United States revealed only fifty such plans in operation affecting fewer than 100000 workers, with most of these concentrated in several large companies Officials of these companies believe that the system has improved morale and helped to sta bilize their business On the other hand organized labor has usually been opposed to the plan. Aside from the contention that it impedeS unlonization, it is held that it keeps wages down and at best only results in deferred compensation serious bar to it's wider extension is the fact that more than half corporations report no net profits to share. Moreover high wages in themselves form of profit sharing and apparently that form which most acceptable to the workers,
 Nevertheless, the plan has it's enthusiastic advo- cates and their testimony in Washington will be worth watching

MUSICIANS RULE
 ON TAX CLEARED
Men Employed Individual= ly Must Pay Unem=
 pl0yment Tax

Hartford, June 16.-Individual musicians, unless they are members of a name" orchestra, are employees of the purchaser" of the music and not employees of their leader, and the purchaser, if subject to the law, must pay the unemployment compensation tax on their earnings, the attorney generals office has de- cided.
 This ruling has been given to Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone as the answer to his request for ad- vice as to the identity of the en- ployer of musician who is a mem- Der of an orchestra.
 Purchasers of music, according to Assistant Attorney General Harry Silverstone, desiring the services of musicians usually contact these in- dividuals through a member of the Musicians union. The person through whom contact is made is called contractor.
 Any musician, Silverstone ex- plained, may serve as a contractor and act as the agent of the pur- chaser in assembling the number desired. When the purchaser does not exercise his right to select specie fic players, choice is made by the contractor. A lump sum considera- tion, dependent upon the size of the group is paid to the contractor, and he as agent of the purchaser, dis purses it.
 Silverstone stated in his ruling that individual musicians employed in this manner are employees of the purchaser and he must pay tke tax. The ruling. he pointed out, is in accord with the decision of the supreme court in the case of Boyle vs. Mahoney, 92 Conn. 404. In the case, however, of @ name orchestra which is one with a fixed personnel holding itself out to be a permanent business organization the situation differs. In such instances, the leaders contract with the mem bers of the orchestra at fixed salary, either by term or by en- gagement, and is liable for payment of salary without reference to the discharge of the purchasers obliga- tion. The leader of a name orches- tra pays the unemployment com- pensation tax.
 In the absence of these distin- gushing characteristics, the mere adoption of a name by group of musicians does not constitute a name orchestra, SilverStone said
