A BROAD DECISION

Ore of the most far-reaching decisions yet given in connection with lebors rise to power n the last few years was handed down by the National Labor Relations Board yesterday The Board ruled that the Inland Steel Corporation not only must bargain with CIO steel comlnlttec but must sign written agreement if a settlement is reached.
 Naturally it will go to q court test as the Board as well as labor leaders anticipate for the simple reason that broad interpretation can be placed on such decision h a way, il amounts to order on the part of the government to sign paper whether cne wants to or not Of course there provisions under which such signing is required but the broad scope of the decision such that it will be watched with great deal of interest by business and labor organizations from Alaska and throughout the nation particularly in view of the strife that now exists be- tween the American Federation of Labor and the Committee for Industrial Organization for control of the labor movement.
 Protest has been made in Congress against some of the activity of the Labor Board coupled with de- mand for an Investigation This decision is likely to

Fairbanks showed the other cities of Alaska, in cluding Juneau how to go to the polls. Tuesday, and in view of the fact that the Territorial primary is coming up on April 26 it might be an excellent idea for those who neglected go to voting places in the city election to take rofe of how they exercise their franchise up in the Interior
 Out of a total registration of ll26, there were 1O18 ballots cast in the Fairbanks municipal election In other words more than 90 percent of the qualified voters in Fairbanks went to the polls and did their civic duty It is record of which Fairbanks can well be proud Probably mighty few municipalities in the entire nation can show better turn out e voters.
 Here in Juneau where more than twice as many as Fairbanks registered only about so percent took sufficient interest to go to the polls The fact that Ketchikan with 800 less registered than Juneau acu- ally boiled two more votes. A total of 1857 were cast in Ketchikan compared to l.555 here
 The primary election is only slightly more than two weeks away It is to be hoped that negligent Juneau voters will make more impressive record at the polling places at that time

ALASKA DEFENSE ENCOURAGED

Alaska and Pacfie Coast defense has been given considerable impetus news dispatches from Wash ngton indicate as the result of agreement between President Roosevelt and President Quezon of the Ph- ippmes to postpone Philippine independence until l96o Observers see in this action a must sign on Pacific defense because under such an arrangement the United states Will be pledged to defend the islands against attack foreign interference Of any kind which means Of course that adequate armament must be located in the Pacific to do it.
 hlaaka's plans for military and naval bases are naturally encouraged under such program, for the Territory plays important part in the general Pacific Coast defense setup It is on the northern end Of @ vast defense map which extends from the tip of the Aleutians to Samoa II is flank which must be just strong ultimately as any position along that imaginary line Of defense down across the mid-Pacific. Thus look for concentration of effort in developing Alaska defense both by the Navy. which already s working on the program and the Army, which has made some preliminary progress

 Two rapid shifts of policy at Washington repre- sent vigorous answer to Mexcos discriminatory tactics against American interests. The Treasury has abandoned it's practice of purchasing $2,5000oo of silver from Mexico each month This deprives Mexico Of of it's easiest methods Of obtaining sufficient foreign exchange for import needs Tn addition the American Treasury has lowered slightly its buying price for silver which means lowering the world price and creating a weak market everywhere This may make it impossible for Mexico to dispose of silver any where except at an extremely unfavorable price
 Together these measures more than a warn- ing, They g serious blow to Mexican economy. II is unfortunate that they need be taken for the United States has been consistent adherent of better commercial relations among nations. But Mexico has been taking unfair advantage of silver policy and good neighbor" policy. Retaliation is the only weapon can be sure President Cardenas and his colleagues will understand
 In the meantime Secretary Hull is not following a reckless course He has made protest against the appropriation Of American oil companies. Only after exhaustive study of the complex question by Depart ment of State experts will he decide whether to champion the claims of the companies This is very wise for we might damage the national interest dis approximately in attempt to salvage the assets of four companies-if their case is not good one
