SALVATION IN NEW UNDER
STANDING


2 year of ~crisises, of dramatic and far
reaching changes in the structure OF
governments and peoples. By the mar
powest of margins, a world war that
seemed certain was averted. Yet, at the
same time. major, though undeclared
wars are in progress on two of the con
tinents, brute forces has become the
principal weapon of modern diplomacy
and there a be no real stability in the
world, no permanent rest for the ner-
yes of the troubled billions who lnhablt
it, so long as this is true.
Coming home to our own country,
1888 opened with business declining on
every hand, and with depression deep
ening. At the years end, one OF the
sharpest improvements in business IN
u history was registered over a per-
iod of five months, and the immediate
prospects favor a continuation of this
trend. Some of the grave differences
between industry at large and the Ma
tional Administration seem to be nea
NOAA
ing reconcilement. The inevitable de-
duction to be made from the important
off wear elections in November is that
the thinking of the electorate is turn
ing toward the conservative side.
Spokesman for manufacturing industry
publicly express confidence. All this is
highly encouraging. 1t gives great
cause for hope that a depression a de
cade long may be at last nearing its
end. But, even though this is true, it
would be folly to overlook or to under
estimate, the many vital and unsettled
problems that the American people
still face.
Our largest single industry, rail
reading, finds its condition growing
steadily worse. Better business during
recent months has naturally resulted in
some increase in railroad traffic. But
the basic difficulties facing the lines
rate problems excessively stringent re
gulation, heavy taxation, and direct &
indirect subsidization by government
of their principal competitors-remain
the same. There can be no real prosper
ity in America SO long az an industry
which spends a billion a year for sup
plies in normal times, which employs
hundreds of thousands of wellpaid
workers, and on which we depend for
the transportation of the great bulk of
the products of our farms and factories
can look forward to nothing save in
creasing deficits.
The political problems affecting
the public service industries are SINH
larly unsolved. There has been much
talk for instance of "accords" and
cancellations" whereby the. Federal
government would modify its social
cation program of substituting publicly
owned gas and electric systems. But
there has been no definite action. Such
agencies as the IVA continue their as
touding policy of refusing t%hird-party
arbitration of the prices to be paid for
private properties they wish to pur-
chase, and to hold the threat of building
duplicate plants and transmission lines
over the heads of utilities which refuse
to sell at prices which would entail seri-
u losses to their bond and stockhold-
ers. AS a result, utility spending re-
mains at low ebb and this great indus
try, which could do so much toward
revitalizing America, must mark time,
while its owners and workers wonder
what an unpredictable future will

 CAREFUL DRIVING

100 Percent Safer Since Law Enforced, Declares

Wonderful cooperation from mo- torists here in observing the speed laws has made Glacier Highway a much safer road on which to drive, J. B. Carlyle, Chief Enforcement officer of the Territorial Treasur- er's force, said yesterday
 A month ago Carlyle announced reckless drivers here would be pros ecuted. He placed a traffic car on the highway. Appeals in the news papers resulted, he said, in drivers slowing perceptibly, so that the dust menace through the worst month of the year was much abated
 Before leaving for the Westward on urgent business yesterday Car lyle drove out the Glacier Highway to observe traffic and returned with the impression that Juneau drivers are courteous and, abiding.

HE'D KEEP PHILIPPINES

The Indiana leader has had no experience on the complicated Washington stage-and only ten years first-hand political exper- fence anywhere.
 The so-called left wing writers at times have gone so far as to dub him the "Hoosier Hitler. He once called out troops in general strike in Indiana. He set up a two per cent club to finance his state poli- tical organization, all state employ ees making more than $100 month contributing to the party fund.
 Its really one-per cent club he says. But where was I to get the money to run the Democratic party? You know where it used to come from, and the price paid for it."
 Finally, there's the McNutt stand on American foreign policy He wants to keep the Philippines. That implies going the limit to prevent any nation or combination of na- tions from stalking out zones in the Pacific and marking them with keep off" signs.
 That's the background Paul Mc- Mutt brings to one of the biggest administrative jobs in executive government anywhere in the world.

that the McNutt people are not an- ticipating-as yet-any third term upheaval in the Democratic party in 1940.
 They seem to take it for granted that aggressive two-term Presidents usually have a hand in selecting the succeeding nominee.
 But you also suspect they think world uncertainty and unrest may also have a bearing on MT Roose- velt's 1940 course. There's the dan gerous inherent political confusion in the United States while the in ternational fever is running high and the question of responsibility for inviting that danger. They seem to think that's something for the anti-Roosevelt Democrats to think about, too
 Paul McNutt has his strong points and those others that are strong or weak, according to who judges them.
 He's an impressive speaker on the platform or the air He has a dis tinguished profile-sort of Barry more, but business-like. He bal anced the budget in Indiana, and kept it balanced. He did that with a one per cent income tax. Labor got exemptions for low wage work CTS. The farmers and manufac- turers got a rebate of three-quar- ters of the tax. He organized the state government, from doorkeepers on up.
