An Extreme Measure
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati EnqureT)
 Mexcos action in severng diplomatic relations with Great Britain is unexpectedly severe. It was known that the British Government had written sev- eral sharp protesting against the appropriation of foreign oil properties It also known that the British have not been entirely happy with the settle ment of claims for damage during civil contend ing they have not been well treated the United States. Actually the United States Government con- tented itself with trfling in full payment of such claims.
 The matter is of immediate concern to the United States. because we have steadily taken the position for century that no European power should bring actual pressure upon a Latin American state. The British have not even hinted they will do this limiting their action to verbal protests. Yet if Mexico takes made we cannot overlook the possibility of grave friction.
 In it's relations with Latin America, the United States pursues two general principles-hat we must not interfere in the domestic affairs of any neghbor state and that must not force to collect debts Applied to the Mexican case, this means we cannot properly resist appropriation which is regular step in Mexican law, but may rightly demand indemnity.
 This is precisely what we have done. Great Bri- ain, accustomed to power politics is attempt ing to go of this principle and insist that Mexico does not have the right to appropriate foreign indus tries, even with compensation The wise course for America, undoubtedly, is to make every reasonable effort to persuade the British to follow own policy. But Mexico is not, by this hasty recall of her minister, making task any easier

COMMUNITY MEMORIAL DAY

Monday in Juneau and throughout the nation America keeps her yst with her honored dead We will lay affectionate garands of honor on their graves We will kneel at their shrnes to rechristen our faith in America We will eulogize their devotion and courage with symphonies of flowers, music and eloquent accoades
 But there is little that we add to their laurels When great deeds speak, the tongue is dumb History is the encomium of these fallen heroes They belong to the ages now The poet expressed it well who said:
 "on Flames eternal camping ground
 Their silent tents are spread
 And Glory guards, with solemn round,
 The bivorac of the Dead"
 Glory indeed guards the bivouac of war dead It is the glory of right the glory of truth, and the glory of justice For our nation has truly unselfish record Not single mound in this any foreign land marks the resting place of an American soldier who was sacrificed in of conquest spells, or aggrandizement.
 Americas soldier and sailor dead gave up their lives only in righteous and sacred causes-for liberty for unity for the preservation of human and national rights and for the championship of great ideals Our country has played one role and one role only in all of it's hisory-tha of the defender of precious prin- cples.
 All the mighty armies of American history now have marched into the land of memory Their bat talions are dsbanded Their tents are struck Their
 
 campfires are put out. Their arms are stacked Their master rolls are laid away. Yet the veterans of all these qrand armies had priceless thing in con- mon The dearest and proudest memory of every soldier of America all throughout history always has been that his country in the right.
 Here in Juneau on Monday the American Legion will conduct services that principle in memory of the nations maryred dead-the principle of freedom justice and democracy for which 1t stands; the prin- cipe for which all sound Americans should stand And these Americans, whether they served in uniform other capacity during national emergencies should stand Monday shoulder to shoulder with the Legion the Spanish War veterans and other patriotic organizations of this community they commemor- ate the Memorial Day occasion.
 The Elks hall, where the services will be held should be filled overflowing with Americans proud of their country and their flag It is not day for patriotic societies alone It is day for all sound Americans to pledge their allegiance to the principles of freedom, justice and democracy.

advocated the assassination of the President of the United States.
 It is doubtful whether member of Congress would have made such statement if he did not have infor nation which he believed to be authentic. But re- gardess of the authenticity the Congressman revealed that there is adequate for investigation by Con- gress of the reputed un-American forces which are reported to be at work in the country In times past such demand for investigation has raised the cry of .red-baiter" Communism being the bugaboo of a few years ago Now it appears to be Nazism.
 The evidence, however, is that there are too many isms" of one kind and another being propagandized throughout the country, and Congressman Dies pro- poses to find out to just what extent they making inroads which might be detrimental to American form of government It is probable that official inquiry would reveal that the clamor is much worse than the actual disease, but nevertheless it would appear to be an excellent idea to find out
 The price of a free democracy this nation has found out over 50 years eternal vigilance With the rise of all sorts governmental theories throughout the world the clash of arms ever becoming dis tnct across both the Atlantic and the Pacific it isn't being too cautious of our American system to cast our accounts and find out just how soidified we stand as a nation. If we happened to be called to- gether in national emergency of these days, facts could be revealed by such investigation as is now proposed which would be of vital importance to our national security.

 One paragraph in MT. Herbert Hoovers speech ct Oklahoma City led to believeuntil read the concluding sentence-that he had learned something since 1892.
 Tt is nonsense he declared, to say that either big or little business is strike. It is not We have had no such strike We have been struck Busi- is yearning to sell automobiles and suits of clothes It is yeaning to extend power plants and build houses Big business or little business men not scared to take men if anybody will give them order for goods
 At this point held breath. Would MT. Hoover go on to point out that business could not afford to increase their payrols until they had orders-and that no one could order goods until some one stepped forward with purchasing power to buy?
 Would he declare that She wheels of business could turn again if only purchasing power pro- vided?
 Our question was answered in the negative by MT. Hoover's concluding sentence: But who has the confidence to give the orders?"
 Apparently MT Hoover still believes, he be- lieved in 1882 that buy bread and clothes and shoes with that mysterious things called confidence

 It was hoped that the general use of Community Public Health nurses would be the permanent results of the Children's Year which began April 6 when a concerted effort was begun to save 100000 children who die annually from diseases easily preventable. There was Community Nurse in San Francisco who had proved so successful that it had become apparent that great deal of good could come through more of her as a regular institution.
 Development of agricultural re- sources for the season along the Government railroad north of An chorage promised encouraging re suits. About ,000 acres of land, held by about 300 homesteaders, in the Matanuska and Susitna Valleys, were under cultivation. Last year the ground was seeded to root crops, particularly potatoes. Large tracts were now put into grains and hay.
 The Department of Labor was to send two trained and expert fish salters and curers to Alaska to give instructions to the fishermen and packers of the Territory in the latest method of preparing food fish for market. One was stationed at Sel- dovia the other at some point in Southeast Alaska where the greatest majority would be served. These men were to act in connection with the Commissioner of Fisheries.
 A more than pleasing program was rendered by the pupils of Mrs. L. P. Dawes at the Methodist Church. The first number on the program was piano solo by xenia Christen- sen; vocal duet was rendered by the Misses Cupples and Dyer; little Harriet Barragar compelled spon- taneous applause by her piano solo, The Running Bird" Others who participated in the program with vocal and piano selections were, Carrie Cragg, Nadia Kashevaroff Mary Kashevaroff.
