The One-Term Idea

Senator Burke. Nebraska Demo-
c-at who tailed OF denomination m
the recen; primary in his state. is
displaying conduct not at all like
that Q: Z lame duck. Ii his last
days in office he IS sponsoring TWO
measures that are among the most
talked-ot now before Congress.
One OF these is the CONSUMPTION
bill and the other proposed amend
uent 20 the Federal Constitution fin
ing the term OF office for any pres
ident at a single term Of six years.
The CONSUMPTION proposal. decio-
eddy unpopular with Il large es-
ment OF American citizens. is en-
countering formidable opposition in
the Senate. while its fate in the
House. when and il it gets there, is
something else again. The act linz
iting tenure Of the presidency has
not progressed far enough as yet to
admit Of q lineup that would point
to It's probable fate.

What Would He Write?

Somewhere around the mluulc ol
the last century, Henry WadSWorth
Lonsrcllow. one of Americas best
loved poets, wrote these lines:
We're half the power that fills the
earth with terror,
We're half the wealth bestowed
on camps and courts
Given 10 redeem the human mind
from error.
There were no need O.! arSenalS
and forts.
What would the poet have written
on this subject were he living today?
These are days of transition the like
of which the world has not seen be-
fore. and some freely assert their
satisfaction at being alive in these
times. Life in this hour has its COM
penSation. TO be sure, out II also mas
haraSSing moments. when il seems
there is no relief from worry and
serious concern for ones self and
loved ones and humanity in general.
There isn't much that VIC can do
about it. yet VIC would not volun-
tarily relinquiSh life. Nevertheless,
LongtelloW and his contemporaries
and many who have followed them
since have been spared cares and
miSericS that crowd for Il place is
ones thoughts and his outlook upon
the present scene.

age renforcements with we'll placed bomb on a
railroad trestle While troops were being moved by
makeshift transportation down the Kenai Peninsula
to Seward across the Gulf of Alaska by water and
inside by way of the Richardson Highway untold
mischief could be done by invader.
The Army insists upon a road connecting the
present Anchorage road system with the Richardson
Highway A few weeks ago Hawey Sterling Assist
ant Chief Engineer of the Alaska Road Commission,
oack- packed across the route on reconnaissance
Grip The proposed road one which would cost
81 100000 to build across of the most difficult
terrain in Alaska has been placed "at the top
of the list of Alaska Road Commission con-
struction projects
The cost of the road, large as it is in COMPARE
son with what Alaska has been able to spend on
roads in recent years. is hardly an item in de-
tense program which congressman say is likely to
run to $150OOOOO per year for the next four years
in Alaska alone.
The benefit of such road to the development
of Alaska would be almost incacuable. 1t would
be the skeleton upon which real Alaska road sys-
tenn could be built. Ultimately it would draw
branches from all the rest of Alaska, even from
Southeast Alaska 1t would give Alaska development
push which would send it far.
More power to the national defense program
which is bringing so much of lasting benefit to
Alaska.

The Nations Call to Service

philadelphia Record)
In his proclamation setting october l6 as regis
tration day under the seecve draft President Roo
sevelt restated simply and eloquenty, the detectives
of the nations defense program.
We cannot possibly improve on his words:
1.-The method Is fair, it is sure it is democratic
it is the will of people.
ION that eventful (registration) day my genera
ton will salute their generation May we all renew
within hearts that conception of liberty and that
way of life which have all inherited May we
all strengthen resolve to hold high the torch OF
freedom in this darkening world so that our chill
dren and their children may not be robbed of their
rightful inheritance.
America stands at the crossroads of its destiny.
The terrible fate of nations whose weakness invited
attack is too well known to us all. We must and
will marshal great potential strength to fend OF
war from our shores. We must and will prevent our
land from becoming victim of aggression"
The spirit of the Presidents proclamation is the
American spirit 1t is the spirit of historic leader
ship in maintaining liberty by maintaining our
means to defend it, 1t is that we were kept free
in the past; it is so that we shall be free in the
future.
The terms of the draft outlined by the Pres-
dent, are simple and clear They constitute call
to service not to war; call to training not to con-
flict. They the insurance of our peace.

AN ALASKA ROAD SYSTEM

Out of the rush to fortify Alaska against
trans Pacific threat which becomes more menacing
every day will than airfields, naval
bases and troop barracks Some of the important
by-products of the Alaska defense program will be
better communications, faster and more dependable
means of transportation and, most important of all
to the development of the Territory, roads
The Signal Corps is already working on plans
to extend telephone service such exists be-
tween Juneau, Ketchikan and Seattle to Stka, An
chorage and Fairbanks. This communications link
will have tremendous effect Alaskan business,
quite apart from its value from defense stand
point.
News dispatches from washington the other day
told of the House Appropriations Committee asking
Congress to appropriate $235000 for construction OF
Coast Guard radio station in the Juneau District,
which Rear Admiral Russell Waesche, Commandant
of the Coast Guard, says probably means Ketchkan
This will take part of it's present heavy load off the
Signal Corps enabling it to give better service to
both service and civilian patrons.
se,.sOne Of the reasons given by Pan American Air
ways in its announcement that the airma service
between Seattle and Juneau would be continued the
year round was that the service is considered par
ticularly important in the Territory and by Federal
Government officials in view of the widespread ac-
tivity in the Territory in connection with the ma
stional defense program" Thus all Alaskans benefit
from service improved primarily for the Army and
Navy. Similar improvement of steamship and rail-
read service is largely due to the defense program.
But Alaskas greatest GAIN it now appears will
be roads, the connection of existing random high
ways into integrated system. Naturally enough
the Army wants to be able to move trucks guns
troops and supplies by highway between Anchorage
and Fairbanks in event the vulnerable Alaska Rail-
road should be put out of commission Today it
would be possible for a single enemy plane to COM
petey isolate the Interior Alaska base from Anchor

Labor Relations Board Is that If
he is given another five-year term,
Commissioner William Leiserson
intends to quit.
Leiserson has nothing personally
against Madden. The two men get
along very well. But when Lesser
son, In response to RoOsevelt's pleas,
agreed to enter the NLRB cockpit
to clean it up, he was promised
that the Board would be reorgan-
lied to enable him to do this.
Madden, while sincere, conscien-
tious and idealistic, is not a
strong administrator. Many of the
Boards difficulties could have
been avoided by a better executive
For example, Madden has retained
certain trouble making officials
whom the strongest friends of the
NIRB have privately urged be elm
mated. The other Commissioner
Edwin Smith, also an earnest lib
eral, is even less an executive than
Madden.
It was the Presidents intention
to replace Smith and Madden by
offering them other jobs. But the
European war broke, he became
engrossed in foreign affairs am
national defense, and the NLRE
problem went ON the shelf-leavine
Leiserson holding the bag. Every
effort he has made to houseclear
the agency has been blocked by
Madden and Smith.
Now Madden's term has expired
and Leiserson is insisting that Roo
sevelt make good his promise. Roo
sevelt is willing to reorganize the
