Alaska Newspapers, 1811 NATIONAL REPK Pourth Avenue Bldg., TATIVES — ttle, Wash, OUR WEEK You can find a “week” for just about anythihg you're looking for if you look hard enough—every- thing from National Buttermilk Week to Natfonal Newspaper Week. This week, October 1 to 8, is National Newspaper Week, scven-day period for news- papers all over the United States. Wartime is a trying time for a néwspaper. The Empire would like to take advantage of this week to extend sincere thanks to our many subscribers who realize that things arén't going along as normal in the newspaper office—because there's a war on. A newspaper has a tough row to hoe in wartime. On the one hand, it must sacrifice many peacetime serviees in order to print the big story—what’s hap- pening on the fighting fronts. It must back every move that is conhected with the war effort with free supply, try to explain why censorship is necessary, or try to convince the powers to be that it is unnecessary in many instances, fight all attempts to control the free press that is the voice of democracy. because¢ you, as the people, demand the truth. team. Let Alaska Elect Its Governor (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) local self government.” | We suggest again that the same argument is applicable to Alaskans. It is an open question whether Alaska is ready for complete statehood. That issue, perhaps, should be left to the postwar period. The importance of the Territory, recognized by most Americans only as a result of the war, is not hectic activities of continental defense probably wil}! likely to be forgotten when the war is over. The give way to a more solid but no less vigorous program of permanent development Certainly Alaskans are capable of electing their own governor. An elected governor in personal attainments might be either above or below an appointed governor. In either case he woultdl encourage Alaskans to develop and exercise leadership and dissipate the feeling that Alaska is only a stepchild in the national family. Uncontrolled Inflation (Cincinnati Bnquirer) An American soldier, somewhere in interior Chirfa, writes that inflation has struck certain of the terri- tories in which he has been stationed. As examples of existing prices he mentions a monthly food bill of $4,000; a haircut costing $30, and an over-all monthly Budgét of some $7,000 for a single individual, Wwhose clothés are supplied by Uncle Sam can do to a country unless strict and efficient con- trols aré exércised. Under conditions such as exist in the dréa from which this American writes, rich and poor alike suffer from the inflationary spiral. Earners, to soime extent, are protected by the fact that wages rise with other costs, even if they do not rise at a correspondiiig rate. But the millions of individuals whose Incomes areé stationary, In terms of dollars and cents, can beé forced by uncontrolled inflation to desperation and starvation.
