Plan No. Z

The Presidents second reorganiza-
ton order, like the first, appears to
be a serious and commendable effort
to bring related activities together
from scattered points in the Govern
ment setup.
Again, its chief claim to merit rests
on efficiency and simpliflcatlon,
rather than sharp economy or cur
tailment of functions. The savings
under this plan are estimated at not
more than ST ,25OOO0. Under Plan No.
], grouping emergency agencies into
three major units-public works,
lending and 'security-the President
placed the probable savings at be-
tween S15,OO0,OO0 and S20,000,00O.
The unexpected Senate strategy by
which the Chairman of the Reorgan-
ization Committee, although a sup
porter of the program, Immediately
offered motion of diSapproval,
which will bring about a quick de-
cision, is of doubtful wisdom, how
ever.
It may be argued in support OF this
short cut that a poll shows the Sem
ate overwhelmingly for Plan No. 2.
Therefore, why delay? Nevertheless,
the clear intent of the Reorganiza-
ton Act was that members of Con-
gress and the country would have
sixty days in which to weigh the
provisions of an order, which would
then take effect unless both branches
had voted to disapprove.
Bearing in mind that as soon as
one branch refuses to dlsapprove,
the other House is powerless to take
any further effective action, too hasty
a decision by the Senate would de-
prive House members Of the oppor-
tunity the law was supposed to give
them to analyze the changes in de-
Lucrative way.
If the resolution to disapprove
came Immediately from opponents,
as it did in the case of Plan No. l,
there would be no cause for subse-
quent complaint, because they would
know that the law requires prompt
action once the motion is made.
In this case, however, some House
members who follow reorganization
closely, indicated they are reserving
Judgment on Plan No. 2 until they
can give it more study. This study
will be futile, if within day or two
the Senate settles the issue by turn
ing down the resolution of disap-
proval.
Honest differences of opinion will
exist both in and out of Congress
over whether Biological Survey
should go from Agriculture to Inte-
rior; whether foreign commerce
functions should be centered in with
the diplomatic functions of the State
Department., or with regard to other
detailed transfers.
But, entirely aside from the merits
of this plan, it would be wiser in the
long run for administration forces
in Congress to allow time for mature
judgment, rather than precipitate
decision by putting the disapproval
machinery in motion themselves.
One phase of Plan No. 2 that ap-
peared to meet with widespread ap-
proval was the Presidents coura-
geous action in abolishing the Btu
minous Coal Commission, New Deal
adjunct that has not functioned
with any great degree of success.
The Secretary of the Interior will
replace a seven-man board in ad-
ministering the coal act.

Recalls German-Polish
Peace Agreement.
tn the Editor of The Star.

The fifth anniversary Of the sigma
lures of the Polish German non-aggres-
sion agreement was marked by a visit Of
the German foreign minister Mr..
Joachim Won Ribbentrop, to the Polish
capital.
In the course Of the banquet given by
Foreign Minister Joseph Beck in honor
of Mr.. Won Ribbentrop, Col. Beck deliv-
cred an address in the Polish language
in which he referred to the Polish Ger
man aggression agreement of 1884
as symbol of the courage, the foresight
and the will Of Chancellor Hitler and
Marshal Pilsudski and as an act of his
toric Importance and of historic propor-
tions.
1T is sufficient" the minister contin-
ued ito review all the changes, the
shocks, the hopes and disappointments,
as we'll as the complicated and rarely
effective efforts of European policies dur
ing the last five years in order to appre-
ciate the values of the agreement.
Neither daily cares nor the greatest
tension in the European situation could
affect the principles which, at the will
Of the two great leaders of our nations,
were embodied in such simple formulas.
That after five years we continue to base
our talks today on those same principles
is an achievement which many govern
ments may envy us.
"On such experiences Of the past" the
minister stated further, II would like
to base the thought for the future of
our nations. I hope that the trend
which resulted from that great decision
of 1884 will allow both nations to con-
centrate their active forces on creative
work, which is so necessary for them as
well as for the entire European COM
munity."
In conclusion, Minister Beck expressed
the conviction that the sound principles
which were followed In the policies Of
both governments in Polish German re-
lations will always permit the discussion
of any problems that might arise in the
spirit of mutual respect and Of under
standing of the justihable interests of
both countries.
In his reply, which was delivered in
OSAHAo@AA, VAAC &tC4SA 4OICAS4 AAAAAAoOCA
stated that his present visit gave eW-
dence that the historic act of peace Of
the two leaders continued to maintain
its high value in the face of all the
complications and tension during the
last five years. thus rendering services
not only to both nations, but also to
the cause of European peace.
These happy experiences" he con-
tinued, show also the future road on
which the policies Of both countries
should continue. In accordance with the
will of the leader of Germany, the con-
slant strengthening and deepening of re-
lations between Germany and Poland, on
the basis Of the existing agreement.
forms an essential element Of German
foreign policy"
In expressing his belief that future
problems between the two countries will
find solution in the same spirit, Mr..
Won Ribbentrop concluded with the
statement that Poland and Germany
can look forward into the future with
complete confidence In the sound basis
Of their mutual relations.

Deplores Press Support
OF Refugee Bill.


To the Editor OF The Star:
There seems to be more truth than
poetry in the recent statement of Sec
retary 1ckes that what America needs
is not more freedom of the press but
more freedom from the press. The
efforts OF certain newspapers to assist in
building up sentiment to admit 10000
refugee children from one particular
country in excess of large annual quotas
which are already admitted under exist
ing laws is an example of Secretary
Ickes' statement. Although polls indi-
cate that an overwhelming majority Of
the people are opposed to increasing
immigration quotas, although no sub
stantial benefits can come to the United
States from admitting these refugees,
and although we are in no way re-
sponsible for their plight, bad as it is,
certain newspapers representing the
views of minority use their influence
in an effort to dictate the immigration
laws It Is strange how any sentiment
can exist for admitting these refugees.
The underlying argument seems to be
that the United States should not be
country devoted to the welfare of its
own people first but should be a country
devoted to the welfare Of people living
beyond its borders.
The idea OF admitting these refugees
is so absurd from the standpoint Of our
own national welfare that it is hard to.
understand how any newspapers would
dare to attempt to thrust their ideas
upon their subscribers and readers by
supporting . bill which at least 80 per
cent of the people oppose. What We
need is not more immigration but less
immigration. y r. D. WILSON.

Change Of Title to Capital
Goods Absurd Proposal.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
To suppose or assume that by effecting
a partial change Of title to capital goods
manufacturing plants, mines, farms and
like sources of production and distribu-
toni from private ownership to public
ownership, the war-making power will
be enhanced and expedited (and that is
the fundamental nature of the proposal,
now before Congress, to require every
private owner In the event of war to part
with a portion of his title to such prop
erty and accept in lieu thereof Govern
ment bondS is to misconceive the nature
of wealth and its classification.
War requires the accelerated produc-
ton Of consumable goods employed in
war.
Capital goods cannot be metamor-
phosed into consumable goods by any
such legerdemain as changing title. If
they could be, farmer would only have
to mortgage his farm and 10 and behold
a wheat crop would Immediately and
automatically appear. But the war-mak-
ing power can be impeded by any such
process as undertaking to shuttle prop
erty rights to capital goods when war
is upon us.
Is it not time that our lawmakers
grasped the basic difference between
plant and output and income account
and balance sheet?

Jumbo Name Meaningless
The Douglas Municipal Coun-
Gil and the Douglas Chamber of
Commerce have passed resolutions
officially advocating that the high
mountain peak back of Douglas on
Douglas Island, and now known
as Mount Jumbo, be hereafter re-
ferred to as Mount Bradley, and
that the change be made on all
Federal maps The meaningless
name of Jumbo for this peak was
doubtless applied casually by some
early-day prospector and was just
as casually first placed on our maps
by an early surveyor. The name
has no significance in connection
with the history or traditions of
the locality and hence continuing
the use Of it is of no interest to
any one.
THE Douglas Municipal Council
and Chamber of Commerce hereby
urge the Juneau Municipal Coun-
Gil, Juneau Chamber of Commerce,
Rotary Club, Business and Profess
sional Women's Club, and other
representative bodies of Channel
residents to take similar action and
to give their action suitable pub
licity. Request is also made that

soring Douglas agencies named

S. Board OF Geographic Names, ask
ing for official Federal sanction of

BRADLEY HONOR
Douglas Residents Would
Honor Mining Man
by Change

A movement to rename Mount
Jumbo, highest peak on Douglas
Island, Mount Bradley in honor
of the late Fred W. Bradley, oper-
ator of the old Treadwell mine
and one of the owners of the Al
aska Juneau, has been launched by
Douglas residents.
A petition favoring the change
is being circulated by the Douglas
Municipal Council and Douglas
Chamber of Commerce, which or
carnations are seeking the support
of Juneau service clubs and public
bodies.
Thomas Cashen is Chairman Of
a Committee seeking to have the
name of the mountain changed A
formal application to have the peak
known as Mount Bardley will be
filed with the U. S. Board of Geo.
graphic Names.
The petition for which support
is asked reads as follows:
Bradley Praised
an view of the position of Gas

perhaps the most economically
stable community in Alaska, we do
well to recall that one man had
a preponderant share in making
this possible, This man was the
late Fred w. Bradley 1t was his
leadership in the Treadwell mine
management which laid the foun-
dalton for the permanent Chan
mel communities; also, the appli-
cation of his expert engineering
ability, his advancement of per-
sonal funds to meet large operat-
ing deficits. and his refusal to bow
to defeat were the great factors
that changed the economically sick
Alaska Juneau of the early nine
teen twenties into the present huge
and healthy enterprise which can
continue to be the main support
of this community for many years

mining circles. Appreciation in such
cases is commonly shown by the
