WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-(Spec-
ial correspondence - Little OF the
customary feeling of excitement was
in the air, which usually accom-
panies the opening sessions OF Con-
gress, when the third session OF
the Seventy Sixth Congress con-
vened on January 8. There was no
impelling sense of emergency such
as has characterized other open
ing days for some years past, but
there was definitely an attitude
of busniess-like anticipation on the
part of members of both House and
Senate at the opportunity to once
more get to work on the advance
ment of proposed legislation, both
national and local in scope, which
has necessarily been inactive since
adjournment of the first session on
August S, 1889. Every effort may
be expected from Congress to make
up the time lost on such measures
during the second session when all
Congressional action was limited to
neutrality matters.
Two Bills introduced
Adding to number of bills re-
lating to Alaska on Delegate Di-
mond's program, which are pending

indtion Will Result
in Defeat

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. "a. -
John L. Lewis, CLIO Chieftain, de-
clared today that should the DEM
ocratic National Convention "be
coerced or dragooned" into renom-
mating President Roosevelt, his
candidacy will result in ignominous
defeat"
The statement was made unex-
pectedly before the delegates of
the United Mine Workers of Am
erica convention.
Lewis further asserted that it
is "unwise at this time" to make
any presidential endorsements but
suggested the Executive Board be
empowered to take the matter up
at the proper time,
Lewis accused the Democratic
Party with failing to keep peace
with labor" and expressed the be-
lief Roosevelt probably will not be
a candidate for denomination.
Yesterday, Lewis called Paul v.
McNutt, who is a candidate for
the Presidency, a political adven-
turer," who hopes with the help
OF a motley crew of two percent
bagmen to buy enough votes to
make him President of the United
States"
Assertions
Lewis asserted that in 1896, or
ganized labor furnished money,
speakers, party workers and a mil
lion votes to help return the Demo-
cratic party to power.
He added: The political coali-
ton presupposes the post-election
good f h between coalescent in
terests of the Democratic party. Its
leadership has not reserved its faith
in the last three years. Labor has
not been given representations in
the Cabinet or in administrative or
policy making agencies of the Gov
eminent"
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1940-01-24

THE TOUGH VIEWPOINT
Albert E. Hindmarsh OF Harvard
held that
In their present desperation,
the Japanese will understand only
pressure, if not outright force. The
military group will control Japan
until a combination of defeat and
extreme civilian privation combine
to unseat them"
With few exceptions all thought
Japan was definitely on the march,
and that China was only first
stopping point
Moreover, with few exceptions
they believed that Japan would
continue to crowd England out Of
China as long as England was busy
in Europe, and that England could
do little except stall for time until
she had Strengthened out her af-
fairs with Germany.

OTHER COMMENTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Sena-
tor Burton K. Wheeler of Mon
tana declared it will "be extremely
difficult" for the Democratic
Party to reflect President Roose-
welt, if he wins the Party nomina-
ton, for third term.
Wheeler has been mentioned as
a possible Democratic nominee. The
Senator made the statement after
expressing surprise at the blunt
assertion of CLIO Chieftain Lewis
that Roosevelt's nomination would
result in defeat.
Senator George w. Norris of
Nebraska, one of those favoring a
third term, commented that Lewis
is entirely wrong in his prophecy.
MY sources of information indi-
cate that at the present time there
is not man in sight to take Pres
ident Roosevelt's place in either
party"
