Threats To Democracy
Cincinnati Enouirer)


The preservation of democracy depends on gen.
eral respect for the common welfare, widespread
tolerance among various groups, and on the self
restraint of those who may not agree with the major
ity. Almost invariably the failures of democracy may
De traced TO the abuse of freedom by small groups
and to selfish campaigns by small factions nimical
TO the general welfare.
This emphasized by thoughtful Princeton
professor, DR.. Edwin CT Conklin in a recent address
The frictons Of parties labor unions and deoogies
he said, might conceivably go far to "a
large part of the people to welcome social dictator
ship
Turning to familiar examples abroad Dr. Conklin
recalled that lit the abuses of freedom in Italy
and Germany, the paralysis of governmental and
social services by Incorporating conflicts among
numerous political parties labor unions religious and
social organizations, that led to the limitations of all
freedom"
Among its other aspects Fascism is a method of
discipline. 1t imposes by force and by terror the
conformity which is necessary in degree to any
organized government. And if disputng factions,
whether political groups or labor unions go too far
in setting their interests above the common in
terest, we shall inevitably the rise of popular
willingness to try the desperate expedient of dictator
ship.
We need only recall what happened in Germany
One of the very first acts of Hitler 1888 was to
destroy every independent labor union. Since then
wages have been regulated, which in practice has
meant lowered. Working hours have been stretched
out to 60 a week with corresponding increase in
weekly earnings. The gains of German labor unions
achieved after decades of effort lost in a few
weeks
One of the most constructive ways to preserve
democratic freedom therefore to combat the ener-
waiting quarrels among bocs and factions Virtually
every citizen member of several such groups
He should make every effort to that the group
he belongs to does not set its aims ahead of
the well-beng of the country as whole For if many
groups do persistently they will finally pay fear
full price for their folly.

FAMOUS RAPIDS
AT WHITEH0RSE
Seattle TO- Juneau Canoe
lists Leave Here Today
by Paddle and Sail

A year ago this month, two tanned
and calloused-palmed young men,
Bert Hopkins, 30, and Jake Jader-
holm, 81. padded an eighteen-foot
canoe into Juneau's harbor after
1000 miles of padding their own
and accepting no rides from Seattle
to this city.
At 1920 o'clock this morning the
two canoeists dropped their narrow
little ship in the water again and
headed for Skagway, back pack
over Chilkoot Pass, Just to see how
tough it used to be" a whirl at the
famed Whitehorse Rapids, and a
leisurely cruise down the meander-
ing Yukon.
Hopkins, who has been working
in the Alaska Juneau, and Jader-
holm, who has been working on the
Lemon Greek gravel dragline, ex-
pect the trip will take them As days.
Paddle Down Yukon
They will go as far down the Yu-
kon as the Tanana River and paddle
upstream to Cinema Slough and
Fairbanks, thence over the Richard
son Trail by motor truck and back
to Juneau by steamer.
We've been planning it for a
long time" Hopkins smiled this
morning as he adjusted the rudder,
land then we just all of a sudden
decided to CO."
Their canoe was specially built
for saltwater cruising, with water
tight bulkheads, compartment
amidship with a watertight cover,
and canvas draw sheets for each
paddler.
With brisk wind today, the pair
expect to reach Skagway before the
day is over, if the night is open
enough for sailing with the SO square
feet of canvas they carry in bill
lowing main and spinnaker. If
things "get too tough" they plan
to camp somewhere along the beach
when darkness falls.
Bid Goodbye
Unheralded on their arrival here,
the pair left under similar circum-
stances, with but small group of
friends bidding them farewell.
Formerly in the Navy, and resi-
dents of California, the two have
become attached to Alaska. They
promise they will return to Juneau
to resume their residence after their
summers padding.

bought Johnny Tandoo's little sail

chance to use it yet"

After the Visit-ElectiOn

One aftermath of the royal visit to Canada may
be general election in October. The tour of the
king and queen sounded note of Canadian unity, it
wove a thread through French Quebec, English On
tario and the agricultural west on which Prime Min
lister Mackenzie King hopes to swing back to power
for another five years.
King will show political wisdom if he is serious in
this move has it. If he waits until the effects
of the royal visit off he will decrease his chances
of 1t is we'll to strike now, for oppos
ton parties and movements in the field than ever
before in Dominion history
The big contender of course, will be the Conserva
tive party under the leadership of DR. r. j. Manion
1t hopes capture 80 seats compared to the 30 it
fills at Ottawa Its big talking point is the Cana
dian American trade agreement which it contends
favors the United States.
King has opposition however, in his own party.
He has had a feud with Mitchell Hepburn, Liberal
Prime Minister of Ontario This must be composed
to insure Kings chances for Hepburn counts heavily
in Ontario In Quebec another family situation is
faced If the French Nationalist believe war is I'M
nent they likely win heavily at the expense OF
both parties Premier Maurice Duplessis of Quebec
gave hint of this dssaffection in recent speech in
which he denounced large expenditures for arma-
ments
Thus King is astute in calling early election
He will appeal to the Dominion for an adjustment OF
the dispute whether the federal government or the
provinces have the greatest right to impose aXatio
and whose duty it is to administer relief. The time
of the election of course depends the state OF af-

1t is to be hoped with all sincerity that this week

of the Alaska international highway.
Hands -across-the border speeches are very fine
but what the two nations need are roads across
the border that their populations.
That friendly relations will continue between the
governments and the peoples of Canada and the Unit
ed States may be taken for granted But friendly
relationship should mean much than the mere
avoidance of and the existence of unfortified

1t should mean that the governments of the two
nations utilize that relationship to the utmost for the
benefit of their respective peoples
The existence of separate governments does not

cratic political organization if the representatives of

SPEND WHERE YOU EARN

Alaska for Alaskans is good rule-of-thumb prin-
cipe for all of to keep in mind. 1t should be a
guiding philosophy for FEDERAL officials sent here to
serve the Territory as well for private individuals
But there is a corollary principle the observance
of which every bit important for the development
and prosperity of the Territory 1t is Alaskans for
Alaska There are all too many residents (and non
residents) of Alaska who exploiting the Territory

live here and later taken away to be spent elsewhere

minimum spent for subsistence away in sock which
won't be opened until he leaves Alaska for goca He is
leaving Alaska poorer than he found it.
An interesting comment on this subject is made
by j. S. Kroh, editor of the Keith County News of
Ogallala, Nebraska and of the members of the
NEA convention party which recently visited the
Territory In his newspaper, Editor Kroh wrote:

banks in particular honor of the leading citizens

A. Shonbeck of Anchorage and a few others because

contrast the often heard criticism that too many
people have gone to Alaska in years past aiming to
stake and back to the States to spend it.

any enterprise in the Territory will settle down and
invest it,"
