A SLAP IN THE FACE FOR ALASKA
( Alaska Daily Empire)
There is much of disappointment and discourage
ment for Alaska Republicans in the action of the nation
al convention at Cleveland.
Entirely ignoring the residents of this Territory as
well as those of Hawaii and Puerto Rico, the platform
committee refused utterly to take cognizance of the
pleadings of the representatives from these possessions
for some minor, at least, promise of turther self- govern
ment. It was little short of a direct slap in tht face to
those up-standing men and women of Alaska, who thru
the years have given their best to the Territory in the
hope of building it into a more desirable place to live
and a more valued part of the United States. True,
there are no Presidential votes in the Territory but it
would appear to be a short-sighted*policy which delib
erately ignores those who it would look to for support
of the party in other capacities.
If there is a natural turning away from Republi
can policies to those of a Democratic administration
which has concentrated on development of the Terri
tories and island possessions, the leaders at Cleveland
will have only themselves to blame.
The sharp contempt of the new Landon party for
the people of the north is in marked contrast to the
existent administration which has left no stone unturn
ed in an effort to give the Territory much that it de
sires. The program for Alaska as mapped out by Dr. ■
Ernest Gruening. director of territories and Island pos
sessions for the Interior Department, on his recent visit
here stands out in glaring contrast in comparison with
the action at Cleveland.
Dr. Gruening told of the efforts being put forth by
the Administration for developing air mail and trans
portation in the north, with which we are all familiar;
of the encouragement of tourist travel; of the endeavors
to develop the mineral wealth; of legislative action
which brings Alaska under the provisions of the same
statutes which benefit the States of the International
highway; of harbor and river development, and a mul
titude of other things, many of which we have seen
make actual progress in ire last tree years. How hol
low and empty sounds the action ut Cleveland in com
parison.
Alaskans disregard party in the interest of their
land, and it is despairing indeed to residents of the
Territory to see a major political party pass them up
as though they were non-existent.

There appears to be a significant note :n the dis
patch from Moscow recently reporting the budding o
a Soviet Democracy in Russia. Even the Bolsheviks
are becoming aware that the voice of the people will
be heard.

French Guards
Worked R estore
Normal Times
(By The Associated Press)
PARIS, June 20. — Steel hel
meted guards today supervised
French efforts to return to indus
trial normalcy after two weeks
of strikes which resulted in high
er wages and reduced working
hours for labor. ,
The impressive display of mili
tary force was prompted by
fears of Premier Beon Blum, pop
ular front government that for
eign agitators ‘.would foment
fresh troubles to cripple French
industry and hurt the country’s
armament program. However,the
high point of the industrial cris
is was believed passed, following
the 'evacuation’ of the Renault
Motor Car Company by 30,000
workers.” Remaining strikes are
expected to be settled before
Tuesday.
