NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bidg., Sedttle, Wash, CENTRALIZED CONTROL After the war has been fought, another battle must be fought on the home front if Americans are to ever again enjoy the American way of living that has been disrupted and changed as a result of the war. As the conflict progresses, more and more power is being centralized in the Federal jovernment—not in Congress, but in various bureaus spreading out under the executive office. Laws are being replaced by what are known as “directives.” These are orders handed down by the bureaus without Congressional approval. One bureau- crat is quoted in a recent article by Rep. Hatton Sumners of Texas as saying “We make the law. This order supersedes any laws opposed to it,” This bureau- crat seems to take the same view as Louis XIV of France, who, when a judge used the expression, “the | king and the state,” interrupted with “I am the state.” There are' many examples of the centralization of powers. The Constitution prescribes that treaties must: be ratified by a two-thirds vote of the Senate. But today treaties are being committed by order, not by vote. Congress, by vote, has appropriated $18 billion for lend-lease. But from funds appropriated by Con- gress for other purposes, some $50 billion additional has been transferred by executive order to this agency. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation has made loans and committments totalling $18 billion without Congressional control. We now have some 30 reciprocal trade agreements with other nations. Even though 26 of these nations f—— THE DAILY ALASKA EMP mitted to their national legislatures, such is not the practice in the ,United States. By attempting to make units of state government financially dependent upon the Federal government, the Federal government is acquiring the power to con- trol state governments. The old way of doing things is rapidly being junked. Congress evidently is not considered educated enough or speedy enough to handle things as repre- sentatives of the people. If this keeps up, soon there will be no need for Congress—the work can be done by bureaus and directives will take the place of law. War and Post-War Planning (Alaska Fishing News) Let's plan big for Ketchikan. Practical conservatism is a fine thing, but ultra- conservatism may easily develop into retroactive pes- simism. A good example of progressive planning is Seattle. At first Seattle was merely a hamlet near power- ful neighboring trade marts. It was without railways. Its natural advantages were no greater. But it got out and hustled, made concessions of sites for pay- rolls. It filled in tideflats, tore down hills for street and buildings, kept always planning big. In each forward step, pessimists and ultra-conservatists held being taxed out of existence by impractical visionaries. Steve Ferris the other day made a significant re- mark in telling about the new pontoon concrete bridge across Lake Washington to Mercer Island, merely an engineer’s dream a few years ago, when he said this was a harbinger of gfeater things to come and that it contained therein a “hint of what might be ac- complished for Ketchikan.” What he meant was that Ketchikan also should continue to plan big and capitalize on its natural resources. Relatively speaking, Ketchikan can become the entre-pot to the whole of Alaska, the same as Seattle is to the great Northwest. Take a look at the map of Alaska. North, east, south and west radiate big *trade possibilities. 'l‘heI Aleutian Islands are directly west of us, formingi stepping stones in a natural bridgehead for reaching | Asia and Russia. From here ships and planes and car ferries can reach all parts of the world. In our backyard we have the wherewithal to develop tonnage. Right at our door we have fishing, timbering, mining to furnish raw_products for increasing payroll | plants. In the hills back of us is plenty of water power for generating electricity. 7 We have fine sites for shipyards, marine ways, islands are facilities for dairy herds and small farms. machine shops, boat building plants and by-product factories. In the hinterland of this island and nearby We have wild and tame berries, small fruit and: vegetables which can be canned. Another important asset we must not overlook is | the post-war tourist trade, worth millions of dollars | annually. | The same as Seattle, we may have to tear down some of our hills, widen our streets, fill in the flats, make sites for skyscrapers, span the channel with a bridge to Pennock and Gravina islands. Nothing ventured, nothing won. And mark this—the time is past when a few | persons monopolistic and selfishly inclined, through} the pull of politics and otherwise, can longer hold | back the wave of progress which will flood Alaska. | We must plan big, ride with the tide, or else be left isolated in the backwash. Dreams can be made to come true. So, let us vision large for Ketchikan—shoot at | } democracies—require that such agreements be sub- Washinglos in that diplomatic \mymg ceremony played a large part, The Argentine appeal Was pre- post. the stars! tion.

A positive and determined- ly cheerful attitude of mind should be sought. This is a time when| churches should be havens for per-| scns of all ages. Those who read the stars foretell miracles that appear to be wrought as the result of prayer. Many strange experiences and battlegrounds, for the line of consciousness between the physical and the spiritual will vanish in mo- ments of supreme peril. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This week should be favorable for trade and commerce.

Winter work on the Sitka-Indian River road was to be undertaken this year by Siems and Carlson, who had the contract with the Bureau of Public Roads for the project, according to a statement made by Asst. District Engineer C. W. Cheatham. This was to be the first time an leffort had been made in Alaska to carry on winter road construction. Bringing a deer weighing about 150 pounds, dress2d, and said by oldtimers to be one of the largest ever taken in this district, Dr. G. F. Freeburger and Harry Sperling returned to Juneau after a hunting trip to Rocky Pass. The big deer was killed by Freeburger. Sperling also got a deer and the two brought in ducks and geese as well.

Certain planetary influences were discerned which seemed to encour- age deceit, misrepresentation, delib- erate distortion of facts. At pres- ent the evil omens are accentuated. Desperate’ measures of the most barbaric type will be employed by | our frantic foes who have already brokén all records for bestial cruel- ty, inhuman torture and wholesale murder.
