many's former financial position.
He has carried out his previous
policies step by step according to
a prearranged schedule-in a most
unbelievable manner. If he were
to tackle a restoration of German
industry and trade with the same
indominitable spirit, the results
throughout the world would be
tremendous.
Conclusion
Business on this side of the At
lantic over the next few years will
be better regardless of Hitler and
Europe. Furthermore, if 1 am right
on Hitler's long-term policy, the
world may now be at the beginning
of new boom era. Real prosperity
in America may at last be at hand!

War Scare Halts Business
This is the most impressive
thought that 1 brought away with
me from the continent of Europe.
1.-THE time 1 was there-just at
u ODpeak of the war scare crisis
no one would talk business. In fact
going from Brussels, Belgium, to
Lille, France, we passed soldiers
every few miles aiming loaded
machine guns at our train. Boxes
of TINT. were strapped upon the
girders of every bridge. A wire led
from these boxes to an officer in
the bushes. In his left hand
he held telephone awaiting orders
to blow up the bridge by pressing
switch which he held in his right
hand.
Business on the continent was at
a standstill. But, just as in America
and England trade and industrial
activity have come back with a
bang since the Munich conference.
Belgium is the most prosperous
country in Europe right now. AL
though technically neutral, 1
found the hearts of the Belgians
with England and France They do
not trust either Hitler or Musso-
lini. The Brussels government is
especially opposed to Russian poll
cies, although there is Communis-
tic party. The Belgians are cour-
ageouS. They are prepared and de-
termined to protect their neutral
- Most important of all, their
~ n rate is holding up.
What of the Future?
Everyone, both here and abroad,
feels that the crisis is now over. l
have consistently predicted that no
nation could risk a war this year
However 1 may yet be mistaken.
According to the Peace Pact it will
be at least November 25 before we
are out of the woods. Czech nego-
tiations with Poland and Hungary
are still going on. There is many
a slip tWiXt the cup and the lip.
Furthermore, there is a growing
feeling on the part of certain groups
in England and France that Cham
berlain peace policy must be op-
posed.
Then, too, everyone wonders what
rabbit Hitler will next pull from
his hat. He must do something
dramatic every year to retain his
power I will make a guess as to
what his next move may be:
Hitler may now direct his dar-
ing energy and hypnotic powers
to reviVing foreign trade, develop
ing industry, and restoring Ger

for placing it in reserve and opening perhaps port )f it under a planned development
 An interesting sidelight on the opinion ln Westward is found in a recent issue of the Sews Says Editor Busey
 Any kind of a reservation for wildlife on Renal Peninsula that would restrict road building and settlement will not meet with cordial reception by the majority of the people in Alaska and those many others who plan to take advantage of opportunities to establish homelife in that area.
 There is no question but that the wildlife of Alaska should be protected, and there agencies created to do that. But the Gateway believes that such agencies and will carry out such protection without sacrificing the inalienable rights of people to live and enjoy the fruits of progress.
 Authorities at Washingto have been asked to withhold any contemplated act that would set aside areas from settlement until heard from by the public most vtally interested, and if there is any clique group who imagines there is no vital interest in the proposed road building and subsequent settlement they will find they are much mistaken.
 That private interests are working for such reservation has been fairly well shown. It is now up to agencies and authorities to watch their step and not allow themselves to be bowled over by such influences.

WAGE-HOUR LAW EFFECTIVE
 MONDAY

Next Monday October "A, starts the experiment in regulating wages and hours it is the effective date of the Fair Labor Standards Act passed by the last session of Congress and commonly known the wage and hour law Reports from Washington indi- cate that the enforcement agency will not be com pleted by that time put the law will be effective nevertheless and ultimately the machinery of ad- ministration will catch up with the time element
 That it is an experiment is generally admitted even by the members of Congress which passed it The ma jory opinion is that it will be successful experiment but time alone will prove that. Funda- mentally it appears sound; it's major objectives audabe It proposes to fix ceiling of 40 hours on the standard work week floor of 40 cents an hour under wages and to abolish harmful child labor. But that it will run into difficulties, which may be roned out later, is generally conceded.
 One of the things it is expected to accomplish, effecting it does only interstate commerce is an equal footing for manufacturers of the various states 4. Lou Cohen, State Labor Commissioner of Washing toD state. is quoted as saying
 .Tt wTl enable manufacturers in this state CWash- ingtonj to compete on the same footing with the ogo5her states and will give them the additional ad vanages in dealing with local buyers by eliminating o the transportation coss which have existed because purchasers buying goods in the low-wage South have ! had to ship them all the way here"
 Against this advantage must be balanced the difference in wages in regions where costs of living are high and where the costs of the necessities el life are comparatively low.
 VIII there be tendency the part of employers en the high cost communities to drive down wages sgto the wage and hour law scale. thus cutting down the employees purchasing power?
 There isn't a thing in the wage hour law to keep employers from doing just that If they do the result will be a marked advantage to the employer who reduces wages against the employer in the low-wage areas who is compelled to raise them to keep within the law,
 ls Somewhere in the preamble of the new act there is mention that it is not the intent of the law to drive down But it cannot be overlooked that business is done for profit and that regardless of good intentions it becomes necessary to slash wages to make profit employers will be found doing it.
 Doubtless there will be other difficulties arising in the administration of the law; there are bound to be difficulties in any such far-reaching legislation. But there distinct advantages in the statute and it is probable that if coopera tive spirit is displayed the part of employer employee alike in carrying out the provisions of the act its benefits may be quickly reflected and its m weaknesses corrected when they made more clear

 Round in R.R. Case
lAncllorage Daily Timesll


 Ruling in favor of Capt. Heinie Berger in his suit to restrain the Alaska Railroad from blocking the hiphway leading to the city dock, Judge Simon Hellenthal has held that the Federal District Court has jurisdiction in the suit and will hear the merits of the caseaf.f.
 The decision is a victory for Berger in one phase of the suit but further court procedure will be necessary before final orders will be entered. The action is scheduled to come up for hearing before Judge Hellenthal next January
 In a ruling dated October 8, copies of which arrived in yester- days mail, Judge Hellenthal wrote 10 pages on the contention of the railroad that his court has no juriS- diction. The decision resulted from a hearing conducted here last Aug ust
 In his ruling, Judge Hellenthal accepted statements by both sides as to the legal status of the road to the dock and the railroad right of way. These matters will come up for question at the hearing in January.
