Voters TO Decide
On New Plan TO
Pick Council
Proposed Amendment
Would Let Members
Fill Own Ranks

Members Of the Detroit Conn
mon Council tUday -wcre-toyfng
with a brand new idea in munic-
ipal government -- { o m m o n
Council. some or all nj whose
members might he appointed
rather than elected by the voters.
The council last night placed on
the November ballot A proposed
charter amendment which would
allow members Of the council 10
select their own brother council
men in the event vacancies occur.
According 10 Assistant Corpora
.tion Counsel James r. Walsh. who
drew the amendment, there Is no
precedent for the plan in the
United States.
OUTGROWTH OF SCANDAL
The proposal is the outgrowth
'of tho recent Herman Gardens
Housing scandal which almost
paralyzed the city government by
suddenly uprooting three members
lOf the nine-man body and leaving
scarcely enough council manpower
TO transact ordinary business.
No one was exactly sure now
the plan would work out.
Councilman Henry S. Sweeny,
who introduced the amendment
declared that he foresaw no far
PREACHING or revolutionary effects
from II.
THE amendment Is simply de-
signed to provide a convenient
and inexpensive method by
which the council can All racan-
| cies and continue 10 transact
Its business" SWeeny said.
Opponents of the plan point out
that the elective character of the
| Recorders and Circuit benches has
been largely destroyed because
vacancies in these positions are
filled by appointment. Almost all
have won reelection.
SELF PERPETUATING
Some of those who were skep-
teal of the plan put il this way:
"Is Detroit to he run by a self
perpetuating board of aristo-
/ Gratis, most of whom receive
their places on the Council
through appointment rather than
by being chosen by the voters?"
Walsh thought the recent coun-
Gil busters, justified passing of the
charter amendment.
I'VE had serious situation
here last Spring after three
cOuncilmen were removed" he
I declared I'VE came close to not
having any government at all"

stoppages in the future. even if the labor picture now is temporarily brighter According to the record, the present decline in serious labor disputes began approximately one month ago. It this decline that major factor in cooling the earlier determination in Congress to enact antisrike legislation The result is that to- day no anti-strike legislator is the books. The only legal obstacle additional crpplng strikes is the power of the Chief Executive Commander in Chief under his own proclamation of unlimited = tona emergency.
 This power however, is only duas-lega It is substitute for clearly enunciated policy prevent ing stoppages in defense industres-a policy which should be formulated by Congress. The national in terest demands such policy It can, and should, be framed in terms that will not interfere with any groups proper civil liberties these exist in emer- gency periods but also will make impossible teups that obsruct the defense effort.
 The basic provision of such legislation should be that all disputes must be turned to the National Defense Mediation Board for amicable settlement, with the provision that existing conditions be frozen pending negotiations. If a settlement cannot be reached further mediation should be attempted be- fore some special tribunal designated by both parties Under such procedure, given good will and sense of patriotism on each side virtually every dispute will be settled without the necessity of recourse to strikes If not, the greater public interest which demands uninterrupted production, must be given precedence over the private interests of any special group.
 Any group which fails to avail itself of the full use of existing mediation facilities, which calls wildcat strike or lockout must be penalized Con- gress should enact legislation making such stoppages illegal This is the proper public policy and should officially be so designated by Congress.

OUR NEW MAJOR-GENERAL

The promotion of an army officer at Fort Richardson this week bore mute testimony of the rapid growth in military importance which has taken place in Alaska during the past twelve months
 year ago, when the Territory was just begn- ming to realize the part which national defense might play in development of air routes, commun- cations and military bases, the top ranking officer in Alaska was a Iieutenant-Coonel at Chilkoot Barracks
 About year ago. Col. Simon Buckner was sent to the Territory It early this week that word reached Aaskans to the effect that President Roose- welt had nominated Buckner for a temporary ap- pointment as Major General, Commander of Alaska defense forces.
 Thus Alaska gains MajorGeneral and Major General Buckner gains promotion which possibly came to him much rapidly because of his transfer into a territory where plans for military expansion in their infancy.
 What the future holds for Alaska in the line of national defense plans probably will be dictated to large by the action of the slanteyed boys across the Pacific.
 It is safe prophecy, however that Alaskans have seen but beginning to development of the Territory by army navy and marine corps agencies, backed by billions in federal funds.

 In an editorial in his Emporia Gazette, titled ITO Kansas Con- gressmen," MT.

Whites pointed remarks.
 Dear Boys: You have been play ng the game. the partisan Repub- lican game, on the foreign policy oi this country now for three or foul years. Nearly every vote has been a minority vote.

Switzerland's Anniversary
(The Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

(The Seattle Post -Intelligencer)
 Recently Switzerland celebrated $50 years of na- tional existence A citizen of Swiss birth suggests it would be good opportunity to comment upon the nations early battles for liberty and the comparative peace it has enjoyed in recent years.
 It was August l. 129l. that representatives of three cantons met and drew up an everlasting pact" of mutual defense. Their oppressors at that time were the counts of Hapsburg
 In succeeding years and centuries the confedera- tion grew The Swiss forced to battle French, Germans and Italians, as well Austrans. In the course of their struggles they succeeded not merely in maintaining national independence, but in estab- fishing themselves the best soldiers in Europe AS shrewd judge as Machiavelli once hazarded the guess that they might rule Italy.
 The success of the Swiss in maintaining national existence and in establishing even more direct form of democracy than that prevailing in the Unit ed States is the remarkable in view of the fact that sharp cleavages in language and religion exist.
 The citizens variously speak German Italian or French. They worship at different shrnes. They are one in defense of Switzerland.
 That fierce devotion to country undoubtedly saved Switzerland from invasion during World War and thus far during World War IT.
 It would, however, be too much to hope that either the national existence of Switzerland or the personal liberties enjoyed by it's citizens could be maintained in Nazi dominated Europe Swiss rifle might face German tanks bravely but patriotism could provide effective defense against the eco homie pressure that dominant Hitler could muster. A democratic island is not apt to last long in a totalitarian sea, a fact that must be evident to friends of Switzerland everywhere, this anniver- sary date.
