ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION NO RACIAL DISCRIMINATION. One of the major actions of the Alaska Native Brotherhood’s annual convention here recently was officer of the Indian Service has ever made known. It seems evident, however, if there was discrimina- tion it was not racial, and was not practiced by any of the organizatons named by the A. N. B. Developments this Fall both before and since the Brotherhood convention point strongly to delay rather than to discrimination. The Public Works Administration several weeks before the convention met allotted $100,000 to be expended on a large umber of purely Indian projects, with Indian labor employed solely. Coincident with the convention, the Bureau of Public Roads opened bids on a road project at Hoonah, estimated to cost about $35,000, to employ local, or Indian, labor. Before that time, lotted money for a crew of Indians at Yakutat. The most recent development occurred last week, when it was announced that the Civil Works| Administration had allotted funds to give employ- | ment to 260 Indians through the winter months on community improvement projects of various kinds. Taken altogether, this constitutes a relief program | of no mean proportions, one infinitely larger than has ever been undertaken before in Alaska. These facts, we believe, are evidence enough to disprove | | the charge of racial discrimination. . to declare by resolution that the Indians of Alaska have been barred from receiving relief fund benefits on racial grounds. Discrimination, it asserted, has been practiced by Federal agencies charge of Federal relief funds to the end that Indians were unable to get jobs, and in this connection it named specifically two organizations—the United States Forest Service and the United States Bureau of Public Roads. This is a grave charge and one which, if true, would be just cause for condemnation of those responsible. Since no supporting data was included in the resolution, proof, or lack of it, must be obtained from other sources. in the the The Emergency Conservation Work, under Forest Service, has in the main constituted major relief activity in Alaska during the past nine months, except, of course, the Public Works Ad- ministration’s allotment for roads which was ex- pended through the Alaska Road Commission. As the latter organization was not named by the Indian leaders it is reasonable to assume its administra-| tion has been satisfactory. That leaves, then, the; Forest Service and its ECW program, and the| Bureau of Public Roads and its few NRA projects. Since work has been started on but one of these, that on Glacier Highway where some day labor is being done by the Bureau, its alleged discrimination would necessarily be limited. And as a matter of fact, the engineer in charge of the work is authority for the statement that at the time the resolution was passed not a single Indian had applied to him for work. Until it can be shown to the contrary, the Bureau of Public Roads must, therefore, be exonerated from the charge. | Now as to the Forest Service. Last Spring, when President Roosevelt included Alaska in the Na- tional Emergency Conservation Work, a definite set- up was made. Except in Alaska, the work W assigned to the Civilian Conservation Corps, organ- ized under direction of the Army with the Forest Service directing the conservation program. The Army enlisted the Corps, commanded it paid it off. It still performs those functions. In Alaska, the Forest Service organized the ECW camps, en- rolled the workers, directed the work, and the Army paid, and pays, the bills. In the National program, the Army did not,| and does not now, organize Indian companies or camps any more than the Forest Service has in Alaska. It was not a matter of race but of policy. Funds for Indian camps were turned over directly to the Office of Indian Affairs in Washington, D.! C. That bureau, through its various field agencies | in the States organized Indian camps and conducted work along lines suited to Indian communities and reservations. In Alaska nothing of that nature was ! undertaken. It was assumed by the Forest Service that it would do so. Why it hasn’t been done, no One other unfortunate assertion was made in the | Indian resolution. It charged racial discrimination by the Territory in its administration of funds for eleemosynary purposes, such as mothers’ pensions. These, it declared, are general funds, but Territorial | officials refuse to extend them to Indians. The language of the Territory’s Mothers' Pension Act | disproves that contention. It declared that no per- son eligible to receive aid from the Federal Govern- ment, such as native Indians, can be paid from the Territorial funds. This is not a new subject. It has been threshed out on many occasions before | the Territorial Legislature. It is not a question| of race but of economics. The policy of the presenti Territorial Governmnt is exactly the same in the; administration of these funds as all of its pre-, decessors. More than that, it is wholly in accord with that of the Legislatures which from time to time have enacted laws on the subject and made appropriations available to put them into effect. Announcement from Washington last week that the Home Owners' Loan Association will soon estab- lish headquarters in Juncau, and branches through-| out the Territory, to extend the beenfits of " the| Home Loan Act to Alaska reveals that Delegate Dimond has won another fine victory for Alaska. His work for this agency has been consistent.

ROCHESTER, N.
