Travellers have often noted how
like that of Norway is the scenery
Of Ala ka. They have noted the
same general remotenesS, the same
sparse population, the same fiordS
leading up TO quiet little towns
nesting in pockets between noun
tain and sea. Yes travellers have
agreed Alaska is like Norway.
The ridiculous ease with which
German troops seized all important
Norwegian ports leads one to Won
dcr how much farther the similarity
to Alaska could be carried,
The Morse were caught flat
footed. They didn't expect to be
invaded without warning. They be-
lcvrd that the existence of the
worlds largest fleet, 500 miles closer
10 NarvIk than the German, made
il impossible.
But careful advance planning and
an utter lack of scruples nullified
Norwegian defense plans, if any
Sudden appearance in the harbors
Of hostile Warships and infantry
probably brought in on merchant
hips in disguise caused such neg
Liable defenSeS as there were to
melt away like snow under the
pl!ng sun.
At Narvik. for instance, NOrWe-
gians land troops present were un-
able to do anything more as the
German troops marched in than
to say How do you do?" and then
fade quietly out Of the picture
without firing a shot.
Narvk is 200 miles north Of the
Arctic Circle. Every Alaskan port
of importance, Nome, Anchorage
Juneau. are far south Of that
Sitka is 1900 miles. Seward 1900
miles from their military command
post. San Francisco NarVlk IS only
1000 miles from important British
bases.
First lesson for the United States
in the Norwegian invasion is that
any country interested in Scizing
Alaska would not wait for 4 drclara-

WASHINGTON. April 20.-There
Will be 4 showdown soon on one OF
the most important and littleno-
ticed measures OF the entire session
the Walter-LOgan bill which
would clip the wings of some of the
governments most important ad-
ministrative agencies.
The bill was put into the senate
last year by the late Senator M
NJ. Logan of Kentucky. The judi
ciary committee okayed it unani-
mously. issuing a report which as
serted that some of these regula-
tors consider themselves above the
statutes" and show contemptouS
disregard for both congress and the
courts"
Or the surface, the bill is mild
enough. II lays down uniform rules
Of judicial procedure for the agen-
cicS. and makes their decisions and
flnGNIS subject to unlimited review
bv the federal courts; only when
YOU understand how they now oper-
ate can YOU see what sweeping
change this would be.
EVIDENCE ALONE
NOW ENOUGH
Most important is the matter OF
review BY the courts. As things are
now. a court can do very little to an
agency's decision.
Suppose. for instance, that you
have q case before a government
agency. The agency decides against
YOU: YOU feel the overwhelming
weight of the evidence was in your
favor, 50 you appeal to a federal
court. You then find that the court
has no authority whatever TO re-
view the evidence in the case, or to
pass on on your claim that the bulk
Of it Was in EOur favor. All the agen-
cV has to do is show that its find
ing was based on evidence-nOt on a
preponderance of evidence, just
evidence
Unless the agency didn't have any

None of them got an Appreciable vote on the ques- tion of who will be nominated, but on the question of who should be nominated the vote for Gannett was 1 per cent, for Gov ernor Bricker about the same and for Representative Martin 3 per cent. The editors do not be- lieve, apparently, that any other Republican hopeful has even fighting chance.
 In answer to the question: Tn your opinion, is the sentiment in your community more sonServa- tive than in 1886, more liberal, about the same?" the East North Central district returned the most decisive answer. More than 30 per cent of the editors from this district declared that senti- ment in their communities was more conservative than in 1886.

WASHINGTON, May - The Senate commerce committee ap- proved a bill today to release for service 116 laid-up ships of the Maritime commission as a move to meet a threatened ship short age.

 It was said that shortage of ships in the United States coast wise trade, due to selling abroad is approaching the emergency stage.

American Newspaper Men Believe Roosevelt And
 Dewey Will Be Nominees

 Current History, American daily newspaper editors believe that Roosevelt will run for a third term and that Dewey will be his opponent.
 But in their opinion Cordell Hull should be the Democratic nominee and Senator Vanden- berg the Republican.
 Sixty-nine percent were con vinced that the political senti- ment in their communities is more conservative than in 1886. Less than 3 percent says it is more liberal-24 per cent say it is about the same.
 The poll was supervised by George V. Denny, Jr., President of New York's Town Hall, for his regular department in Current History, What's Your Opinion?" Every daily newspaper editor was asked five questions:
 "Who do you think will be nom mated for President by the Demo cratic party?"
 "Who do you think will be nom mated for President by the Re publican party?"
 "Who do you think should be nominated for President by the Democratic party?'
 Who do you think should be nominated for President by the Republican party?"
 In your opinion, is the senti- ment in your community more conservative than in 1886, more liberal, about the same?"
 While 63 per cent of the editors think that Roosevelt will be nom mated, less than IS percent think he should be. They clearly pre- fer MT. Hull. Nearly 34 per cent think he should be nominated. Only 19 per cent think he will be.
 Strength by Areas
 President Roosevelt's greatest strength is among the editors of the East South Central States (Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi. MT. Hull's greatest strength is in the Mountain Stat es (Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Nevada).
 Though 38 per cent of the coun try's daily newspaper editors be lieve the Republican nomination will go to Dewey, only 19 per cent think it should, as compar- ed to the "A per cent who think it should go to Vandenberg MT. Dewey makes his best showing in the New England and South At lantic States Delaware, Mary land, Virginia, West Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida), where about 40 per cent of the editors think he will be nominat- ed. Senator Vandenberg is strong est in the Mountain States. Thir- ty eight per cent of the editors there think that he should be nom mated, 34 per cent predict that he will be.
 As to the Democratic runners up nearly 26 per cent think that Garner should be given the nom ination but less than per cent think that he will get it. His greatest strength is in the Pac- fife States, Washington, Oregon, California;.
 The Democratic also-rans trail far behind the favorites. Less than per cent say that Senator Wheeler will win the nomination 6 per cent think he should; less than per cent say that Paul Me Mutt will be chosen, 2 per cent say that he should.
