ALASKA DEFENsEs ENCOURAGED

The new defense program which the President said to be preparing to present to Congress next week holds wide end important interest ior Alaska.
 Whatever defense measures are ,akeu particularly uith reference to the west coast Alaska and the North Pacific must be considered The program ra'reaay started by the Navy in Inc north and toe plans advanced bs the Army reveal that these armed forces are convinced Of inc value of Alaska ss de- reusive base
 The President according to report wir make Recommendations fog strengthening the Army and air forces by 10000 planes and greatly expandne the Nayy. These suggestions f in with the Alaska de- feiee program already launched 10 a degree by high naval and military officials It may well mean the actual construction of Army air base in the Ter 5ory onlargng The naval stations al sitza Kodiak and Unalaska
 Most of these plans at the present tune are held up only by lack of funds II Congress should see fit at the forthcoming session deal literally with the Presidents recommendations as well as those previ- ously presented by high ranking Army and Navy men. Alaska can look for very definite defense expansion program in the north.

unfortunate history, the legislation will con- tinue to be called-originate in the House in separate bills, Congress may at last take some of the steps required to modernize the Execu- tive branch of the government.
 Its ancient Implications, confusons and wastes are partly responsible for collisions of executive policy and many other errors. The establishment is now too sprawling for intel ligent administration by a single man, bur- dened as is the President with other weighty matters.
 If the Federal Government is ever to be practically and soundly set up and admin istered, the President and not Congress will have to do the reshuffling. That is in the nature of the case.
 The only completely new recommendation .n the bill finally voted on last spring was to separate Inc functions of audit and control Qf moneys appropriated to the Executive by Congress. Tllie general plan has the warm support of accountants and of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States
 The rest of the proposals including the provision for sngle civil service adminisua- tor instead ot a commission were sought by three former Presidents and almost given by Congress to Herbert Hoover The 'selfless six aem for additional White House secre- tafies is new But nearly al critics considered this minor and did not oppose it.
 Resistance probably will again center on the civil service change and the separation of audit and control The experts have. however. very strong arguments in support oi both re- forms
 Under the present system the Controller General has been so absorbed in the control Of expenditures that he has never been able b give to Congress the concurrent audit 1t should have Last spring he notified Congress of an alleged FVI irregularity that happened in 1884 fom years previously
 The new plan provides that control of executive expenditures shall be performed for the President by the Budget Bureau Audit will run almost concurrenUy under the super vision of 9 Congressional Joint Committee on Accounts which wit appoint the Auditor General Thus Congress will have full and continuous knowledge of how its money is being spent and can audit its own auditor
 Attorney General Cummings once told the BroWniow Committee that this plan was un- constitutional but Senator Bynes decided otherwise Whatever may be thought of the civil service change, this one is great reform
