ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. NATIONAL REPRESENTAT Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, A2 S S i B e S B SRR e e Y WELCOME LEGIONNAIRES! Junesau is to be invaded this weekend by the Army of World War I as delegates from American Legion posts all over Alaska assemble in the Capital City for their twenty-fifth annual Department of Alaska Convention. Today's 18-page edition of The Daily Alaska Empire is dedicated to the American Legion. In it the | merchants and townspeople of Juneau offer greetings and messages of good will to an organization which | has their respect, and to which we look all over America as one of the major policy makers in the peace that is to follow the present conflict. The delegates and their families will have a good time in Juneau as a matter of course, but they are here for far more important reasons. to put in some hard work on the problems of the post-war world as they affect not only the.members of their own organization and the potential members who will return from this war, but also to devote their time to matters concerning all Americans. Reso- Jutions adopted by this convention will be taken up through other delegates who attend the American Legion’s National Convention in Chicago next month. Two things the Alaska Legionnaires will be boost- ing for at this convention and later at the national will be for a paid service officer of the Veterans' Administration to be stationed in Alaska, for hos- pitalization in Alaska for returning disabled veterans of this war. The Legion also may lend Alaskan support to the They are here | :nntlnm\l organization’s effort to have Congress and | the people of the United States adopt the principle | of universal military training before the end of the !war., The Legion has championed this fight since 1919, and there is no doubt that had the nation | heeded this proposal there might not have been a | World War II, and if there was regardless, this country would have been prepareG in every sense of the word. Proposals recently put forth by the national |organization in other fields also may be acted upon {by this convention. The American Legion's Commis- jsmn on Postwar Planning already has suggested the following principles upon which postwar reconstruction { should be built | The Legion's commission wants the Federal gov- | ernment to get out of “war business” as soon as the war has been won. It wants industry to be returned to the indus- trialists, and it wants the shackles of repressive or class legislation and of depressive taxation removed. The Legion's commission is not opposed to public works, which always have their place in our economy, but it is opposed to boon-doogles and to the fantastic theory that huge public spending can ever be the road to prosperity and stability “Postwar employment,” the preliminary report , “can begt be fostered by a system of free enter- prise embodying the greatest encouragement to indi- | vidual initiative and to every sort of sound business | 1eadership. | “In dealing with the postwar problems of em- ployment, there should be a minimum of reliance on the expenditure of public funds. “When Federal funds must be so spent they | should be used to construct the most useful types of public works. | “Projects that are merely local in nature should ‘lu- financed by local funds.” The Legion commission is on especially firm ground in this last proposal, since under the war economy State governments have had increased reve- | ,nues at old tax rates, often accumulating large sur- pluses, and local spending and local debt has| diminished. In the disposal of surplus property by the govern- ment, the commission says: “As much as possible should be sold as éarly as possible without disrupting normal trade . . . “There should be no governmental operation of surplus war plants in competition with private industry.” 3 Likewise, the “wartime controls” which have been established over the lives of the people should be relinquished quickly. The commission recognizes that the government's | postwar obligations will require a sustained large volume of production to provide the necessary taxes,| and that, for this very reason, Socialistic and punitive taxation, which restricts industry and commerce and‘i thus diminishes the sources of tax income, must be avoided. | lods of deferring B o bree s § HAPPY BIRTHDAY sl AUGUST 31 b Ben A.
