Oi’POSI'fI()N FROM THE CRETARY From Washington, Alaska Delegate Anthony J Dimond announces that because of opposition from the Department of the Interior, the House Committee on Territories has been prevented from holding hear- ings on a bill which would allow Alaskans to elect their OWR ZOVernor the Interior the proposed measure and instead of doing this made a reply that the enactment of such legislation would require a change in the Organic Act of Alaska Some time ) the Department of was requested to submit a report on how faiure by the the measure can From here, it not clear Interior Department to report on halt hearings on the bill by the Committee on Terri- If the Department chooses sidestep the is tories to issue, then there is no reason why the bill cannot be considered by the committee on its own merits, and if any information is desired, certainly Mr. Dimond can enlighten the committee on any points regarding the ‘Territory The fact that the Department of Interior has readily approved u similar bill which would allow Puerto Ricans to elect their governor, while Alaska is ignored with a weak and unexplained excuse is a ~m|p slq\) m the face to Alaskans.

When Delegate Dimond was here last summer he said he would take steps to force a hearing on this bill and his comments yesterday may be taken as a first step. spain On Thin Ice (Cincinnati Enquirer) All through the war Francisco Franco, Spanish dictator and military leader, has shown his sympathy for Germany in spite of his oft-repeated promises tc maintain strict neutrality Today he continues to cooperate with Berlin It is time the Allies brought the Spanish leader up short There is good reason for Franco's devotion to the Axis. During the revolution, without the direct aid of Hitler and Mussolini, Franco probably never could have emerged victorious. But there is more in his attitude than that record of material support. At heart, in spite of his protestations, Franco admires the ideology of totalitarian government In that attitude he represents direct opposition to the Allied cause He has made many direct and Dbitter attacks against both Britain and the United States. His declarations in 1941 that Germany had won the war and that England was needlessly prolonging the strife may bhe recalled—if only for their lack of sound prophecy. He has made many vitriolic statements against the United States for the strings which have been tied to all financial and material aid which Spain has received from this country. Russia, of course, is Franco's traditional enemy. Spanish troops have fought on the Russian front There have been some sound reasons in the past | for Allied appeasement efforts toward Franco. During the months of our vulnerability it was necessary to keep Franco from giving Hitler freedom of passage for troops across the Spanish mainland. Particular] was this true during the first phase of the Medi- terrancan campaign. The supplies which this country then allowed Spain were in part pament for the | maintenance of the state of neutrality, although it was nes y for us to devote a considerable force to guarding possible approaches from Spain to Moroecco. The picture now is changed. North Africa seems | secure. Portugal has declared her sympathy for the Allied cause. Franco's buddy in Berlin has his hands full on at least two fronts. The “child of appease- ment” thus is isolated and is becoming increasingly dependent upon the Allies for supplies and assistance. Now is the time to force the hand of the Spanish dictator. His country must be made to realize that, if past performances are continued, we can cut off a Jarge ! part of its oil and food supplies.
