Democracy and it's Enemies
New York Times)


 In his address before the State Bar Association the other evening Governor Lehman reminded his hearers that democracy is under pressure from powerful and selfish radicals the extreme left T This has been said before It worth saying again. If the people of democratic nation intend to defeat these hostile forces the Governor believed they must resist the curtaiment the denial of the rights of of their citizens under the alleged sanction of the majority" There must in short be no absout- ism even within the democratic framework The majority is not always right It is not right when it infringeS any citizens basic liberties. There are American communities in which the constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech and freedom of peaceable assembly not maintained. There may concevaby be majority support for such repressons but there cannot possibly be democratic support
 Because democracy requires the basic freedoms for self preservation it must sometimes tolerate its own enemies. It cannot consistently deny the right of Fascist a Communist peaceably to present his point of view It legimatey interfere only when illegal acts advocated committed In general,
 the democratic community must rest it's it's own reasonableness. If the mass of the citizens do not prefer sef-government, joined with the Bill of Rights to arbitrary forms of government, minus the Bill of Rights, nothing can save democracy

 Secretary Hull points out that the move is in line with the American policy. which, of course, is the policy to attempt to remain neutral from entanglement in the trouble in the Orient
 But there is further apparent significance in the action It is the first public Indication given by this country that the Japanese are conceded to be the dominant force in China.

 Whatever else may be happening in Germany today, the Krupp Munitions Works is doing nicely. thank you.
 The latest Krupp financial report emphasizes Krupp contributions to unemployment in the Reich Significantly too
 The year before Hitler became dictator TOT men were working in the Krupp factories. Today 108 765 are working there making munitions
 No mention in the Krupp report of course, that when the time comes to shoot off these guns and bombs and cartridges the unemployment problem will be attended to in another way
 But if this increase in munitions employment leads any Germans to give extra "Hel for Hitler, 1t should lead the Krupps to give two extra "Hesl" For with the increase in employment has come an increase in profits.
 During the past year alone, Krupp profits jumped from l4 million marks to Is million marks.
 Nor is that all. Worth at least another "Heil' should be the fact that while Krupp assets totaled 3S9 million marks the year before Hitler took power today they stand at 575 million marks

LEAHY'S STATEMENT ENCOURAGING
 TO ALASKA DEFENSE PROGRAM

Further impetus is given to the program for ade- quate Alaska defense in the statement of Admiral William D. Leahy before the House Naval Committee that naval base facilities should established in the Territory Coming from the chief of naval operations, it not only lends weight the plea made by Alaskans for naval as well as military bases but gives added indication that the Navy is actually moving toward added naval strength in the Pacific
 Admiral Leahy's further expressed benef that the fleet is not now capable of defending both the At antic and Pacific seaboards, and the fact that the major part of the fleet is in the Pacific also indi cative that the Navy leaders feel that there is more danger of trouble on this coast than elsewhere
 Regardless of whether the latter is true the fact remains that Alaska has virtually defense at this time An invading force of any fair size could land almost anywhere along coast, establish itself. spread out and actually take the Territory before endorsements could arrive here from the States Once intrenched Delegate Dimond has repeatedly stressed it would be major military operation to remove due the great distance from tie bases in the States.
 Perhaps no one desires invade Alaska But it cannot be overlooked that Alaska produces around fifty million dollars of wealth annually with its fishing industry Its annual mineral return between twenty and twenty five million dollars has large regions of valuable timber which would be of great value to an invader It has coal oil to run battleships and arpanes; altogether nice reserve to take over in the course of an armed invasion

A LIGHT TOUCH
 So we get back to the American Water Works plan to find that the commission actually permitted exis- tence of two layers of holding com panies. It is true the second layer was a combination holding com pany and operating company but nevertheless this combination acted as holding company for other op- erating companies.
 One of the reputed evils which holding companies are supposed to permit is for one company to own competing utilities, such as gas and electric companies. under cir cumstances which destroy real com petition.
 Yet the commissions touch in the American Water Works case was sufficiently tender that the com pany was permitted to continue op- erating both gas and electric sys- tems in the same territory and was asked only to get rid of it's New York office building and it's Califor- mia fruit farm and give it's preferred stockholders bigger say in opera tion of the outfit
