ment production in Europe resulted
in heavier copper demand last year.
But it points out the other side of the
picture, which business and indeed ev-
cry element of the population would
do we'll to keep in mind.
"a higher standard of living which
would gradually come about through
an assured peace, would do more to
increase consumption of copper than
any temporary demand created by a
major conflict with its inevitably dis
astrous consequences" the company
commented in letter to stockholders.

Dorothy Thompson, who tells the
world what to do in her newspaper
column, objects to Col. Charles Lind
bergh's recent radio talk urging the
United States to keep out of war.
She objects particularly to Lind
bergh's advice that the source and
background of every opinion on the
war be searchingly investigated and
cites European activities of Lindbergh
in recent years in an attempt to show
that he is influenced by Nazi and
Fascist ideas.
Whatever ideas may be influencing
Lindbergh, the world would be the
better for needing his advice. 1t is
good in any nation, on any subject,
including the field of labor relations.
See if any but propagandists can take
exception to it. Here it is:
"We must learn to look behind ev-
cry article we read and every speech
we hear. We must not only inquire
about the writer and speaker-about
his personal interest and his nation
ality-but we must ask who owns and
influences the newspaper, the news
picture and the radio station"
Keeping out of war by maintaining
close contact with other neutral ma
tions was recommended to Congress
and President Roosevelt by the Wash
ington, D. c., committee of the Cam
paign for World Government.

luton pointed out, could marsha

Sphinx Roosevelt
Takes Ribbing at
Gridiron Dinner

WASHINGTON. Dec. Il. (UP)-
Sphinx Franklin d. Roosevelt, his
own 1910 plans a mystery. was en-
treated Saturday night to utilize
his calendar changing powers to
set back the birth date of Young
Republican Gov. Harold E. Stassen
of Minnesota so Stassen could meet
the constitutional age requirements
for president.
1t was all in fun, the occasion be-
ing the seni-annual Gridiron club
dinner in which the great and near
great were roasted before a distin-
guished audience including preSi-
dent Roosevelt.
The backdrop was wars abroad
and political wars at home and the
principal character was a portrayal
of the President as a massive sphinx
gazing enigmatically over the desert
sands upon which Squatted a group
of Democrats garbed as Bedouins.
The group debated the third term
issue and appealed futilely to the
Great Stone Face TO answer the
question: rs he, or amt he?" There
was chairman Martin Dies, D., Tex,
of the house un-American inveS-
tigating committee as Eagle Eye
Finkle;;" security Administrator
Paul V. McNutt as The Sheik of
Araby," and an Arab. when stripped
Of his robes. was revealed as Vice
President John N. Garner wearing
a cowboy suit, two six guns, a bottle
of whisky and royal flush tucked
in his belt and hatband. Garner
readily admitted being IAN evil old
man.
Strange days have come upon
u.s." Gridiron Club President Ray
mond Clapper explained by way of
prologue. Wall street is making
money again. Republicans didn't
plan it that way New Dealers don't
like it either, because ham and eggs
are going to the wrong people. A
few years ago Washington had j.
P Morgan in a chair and they put
midget in his lap. Now the econo-
mic royalists have staged their
counter revolution, and Morgan
is sitting on the midget. John L.
Lewis is chasing a well-known poker
player. Vice President Garner is
chasing delegates, and President
Roosevelt is trying to locate a SUBJ
marine of undetermined nationality
before the opening of the 1910 cam
paign."

 Charles w. Carter appeared before the Council to ask that it amend an action of the 1911 Council setting aside plot in Evergreen Cemetery for Silver Bow Lodge No. 82, I.O.OF. Terms of the 1911 gift were that the plot was to be used for burial pur- poses only. Now Carter wishes to build crematorium and columbian ium on part of the plot has the permission of the lodge, but needs action of the Council to change the terms of the old deed.
 S10,000 Crematorium
 Carter said he planned to spend $10,000 on the crematorium and would operate it several years without profit.
 After City Attorney Grover Vim expressed doubt as to whether the present Council can take action on Carter's request, the matter re- ferred to Committee- of -the- Whole to look into it's legal aspects more closely. City Engineer Milton Lager gren said the building code requires that a crematorium can be built only on special permission of the Council and after a public hearing has been held.
 Action on Juneau Public Health Council request for S1200 appro- priation for a visiting nurse was set over until Tuesday night, when the Education Committee is to meet at 8 o'clock.
