The TwO-Term Limit

(New York Times
 Until recent years there seemed little need for a constitutional limit on the number of terms Pres- dent of the United States might From time to time the issue of third term raised on behalf Of popular leader, but tradition and the adVce or the Founding Fathers proved too strong to be over come Yet Franklin Roosevelt, serving as President through an exceptional series of crises did overcome both His death in office during his fourth left

 If the States ratfy the proposed amendment no could be elected to the Presidency for more than eight years. However Vice ePresident who had come into office through the death disability of his pre- decessor might concevaby serve for ten If the present sentiment of Congress reflected in the State Legislatures, the tendency will be toward ratification But as the process may take long seven years future crisis in internal or external affairs may completely reverse the trend
 MT Roosevelt and the Democratic party able to shatter the tradition against a third term because most of the nations voters could acceptable alternative We were in a ife-and- death struggle and it might have proved highly dangerous to change our leadership Such a change seemed at the time as highly dubious changing Lncoln's leadership n the between the States No one but MT Roosevelt seemed equipped to carry
 These were potent arguments and they prevailed They could not be invoked however if the proposed amendment is ratified Consequently whoever was then serving Chief Executive would be obliged to develop capable successor within his party and back him at the polls His own power and prestige he could only pass to someone else gracefully possible. The evils of standardization which in- evitably grow up under party government would be checked No whatever his motives might be could hope build his personal power to irresistible proportions The opposing party no longer facing an indispensable" candidate would have somewhat farer field Recognizing the doubts of these who hold should not tie the hands of the electorate in any future crisis believe that the proposed amendment should be ratified and the sooner the better

A DANGEROUS BILL

Congressman William Lemke of North Dakota has introduced a bill in Congress- H R. 868 which would set aside large tracts land in Alaska land settle nent areas for veterans While the bill may be a worthy attempt on the part of Rep Lemke to do thing for the veteran, it contains many provisions which would endanger the economic development of Alaska
 The Juneau Chamber of Commerce last week adopted resolution asking for defeat of the bill and from other parts of Alaska several protests have been heard
 The Lemke Bill would open to settlement for the veterans strip of 30 miles each side of the Alaska Military Highway. a strip 30 miles wide each side the Railroad and the southern half of Alaska as far west as Unimak Pass and including Southeast Alaska.
 The bill provides that timber claims of not less than l square mile or than square miles may be taken by after years of residence the land The claims would not be alienated sold in less than years, but such timber claim could be leased to an individual tenant who occupies it for could be used as credit on the years of residence
 If a tract of land set aside by the Forest Service for a perpetual supply of timber to a pulp or paper manufacturer, such allotment of land would be nulfied made useless by the location of of square miles by veterans within the allotted and there would be nothing prevent veterans from making entry for patent for the desirable portions of the timber. The Chamber resolution points out that this would block the development of timber resources unless the pulp manufacturer willing to

pay the veteran his price for his timber and rght-of way over his land Any allotment of land to such manufacturer would result in the "odious practice of claim jumping" It would destroy the orderly and planned development of Alaska, wping out overnight the work of the last 25 or 30 years the part of Regional Forester Frank HeintZeman to bring the pulp and paper industry to Southeast Alaska.
 Furthermore, passage of the bill would result i'll an enormous and scandaous racket" which would save the manufacturers millions and give the veterans handsome for less than one years work, the Chamber resolution points out. The pulp and paper companies could subsdize veterans to build shacks upon the desirable square mile tracts live there for months and permit the manufacturer to harvest the best of the timber at low stumpage rates. The Territory would get nothing from the sale of the timber it does under present regulations whereby 25 percent gees the Territory fer roads and schools another 10 back to the Forest Service for roads and trails within National Forests.
 Mineral claims would also go unprotected should the Lemke Bill become law.
 The Governor of Alaska. in Washington, and Delegate Bartlett, both have been urged to appear and oppose passage of this bill the passage of which would set Alaska back 50 years.

 Refugees Ashore

PARIS, Aug. 1.-tR- The French cabinet weighed today a National Assembly resolution urging it to press Britain for speedy and humane solution to the veXing problem posed by 4,500 Jewish refugees who are staging sit down on three British transports anchored off Frances Mediterran- can coast.
 The resolution was adopted late yesterday by unanimous vote of the assembly, which also congrat- ulated the French government for not attempting to impose course of action upon the Jews.
 Dispatches from Port-de-B -Bouc on Frances southern coast reported meanwhile signs of growing rest lessness among the shipbound Jews who have refused to disem- bark in protest against being shipped back to France after a fruitless attempt to crash the gates of Palestine.
 The discomforts of life aboard the crowded ships, which lett Palestine almost three weeks ago, were increased by extremely hot weather and by a shortage of ra- tions.
 Some observers in Port-de- -Bouc frankly expressed belief that the British were playing a waiting game, hoping that the broiling sun might change the Jews minds about going ashore.
 Advices from London indicated at a loss as to how to deal with the problem.
