The bill pushed by retiring Delegate Anthony J. Dimond also had a hearing but the De- partment of the Interior was able to effectively block the bill disc The article from the Evening Star is evidence, grown in population to a position sufficient to justify, | however, that some interest has been aroused. It fcllows “The suggestion that Hawaii, Alaska and pos- sibly Puerto Rico should be admitted to the Union THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE— MONDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1944 ‘vommumty becomes a member of the federated | Republic. | “Professor William Starr Myers of Princeton | University discusses the subject at considerable length lin an article on ‘State-making Process’ in the Dic- tionary of American History. The original thirteen Colonies, he explains, achieved statehood by ratifying the Constitution of the United States. Technically, Delaware was the first independent commonwealth |to ‘join’ the federation, a convention having un- animously agreed to affiliate on December 7, 1787. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Mas- sachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hamp- shire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina and Rhode |Island then followed in the order indicated. Each conformed, at least to the point of expressing consent, to the basic charter drawn up at Philadelphia under the chairmanship of George Washington. “In Section 3, Article IV, of that document it is set forth that: ‘New States may be admitted by the | Congress into this Union’ and that: ‘The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States.’ It, there- fore, is clear that the ‘founding fathers’ intended |the National Legislature to have control of the ways and means by which lands and their inhabitants | might be brought within the hody of the Republic, the single qualifying or restricting provision included |in the language being that: ‘No new State shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other State, nor any State be formed by the junction of two or more States or parts of States without the consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned, as well as of the Congress.” “Now, of course, Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico already are ‘possessions’ of the United States. It prob- ably is accurate to say that their present status resembles that of ‘the western lands’ of the continental area in the period following the Revolution when, as Professor Myers says, the settlers thereof were ‘pre- paring for local self-government * with the objective of their final admission as States into the Union.’ The ordinance for the government of the territory of the United States northwest of the Ohio River, passed in 1787, forms ‘the basis upen which all public lands and even foreign possessions of the United States have been organized in various degrees for their administration’ ever since. Professor Myers continues: | “‘As soon as an organized territory had main- | tained self-government under these conditions and had in the varying public opinion of the times, its ad- mission as a State, the United States Congress has passed a specific enabling act.’ “There may be room for argument as to whether HAPPY BIRTHDAY OCTOBER 9 Mrs. Oscar G.

HEART AND HOME: This is not a lucky date for making new ac- quaintances of opposite sex. Girls should attend strictly to whatever work occupies them. Need of great numbers of nurses and assistants in many hospitals and rest homes is forecast. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Wage |earners are advised to avoid debt, | especially in connection with par- tial payment plans. Sudden and | unexpected conditions which will }at!ect the national economy are prognosticated. This month before | the national election is a time for gspecial caution. NATIONAL ISSUES: In view of the explosive and revolutionary in- fluences attributed to certain plane- tary influences, labor is warned | against bot-headed strike leaders. ;Evu portents again presage the possible mass resentment of a long- | patient public. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Since victory has its perils, the wise | will temper rising enthusiasm with | careful study of the complexities |of international relations.

The old Marathon Packing Company’s cannery plant at Cape Fan- shaw was being dismantled and the machinery and equipment moved to Cape Chacon where a new plant was to be established by the Alaska Consolidated Canneries. —_— . After a summer spent on Kenai Peninsula examining timber condi- tions in the Chugach National Forest adjacent to the Alaska Railroad, J. P. Williams, U. S. Forest Examiner, retwrned to local Forestry head- quarters. He made the survey to determine the quantity of timber available in the district for tie replacement on the railroad. Libby, McNeill and Libby's Taku Harbor cannery closed with a pack of 80,200 cases as compared with a pack of 56,000 the previous year, ac- cording to reports at this time. Harold Smith, Deputy Forest Supervisor of Tongass National Forest, left for Tenakee and vicinity this day on the Forestry boat Ranger VI. He was accompanied by Harry Sperlifig, who was on annual Jeave which he was to spend in the field with Mr. Smith. Miss Jessie Mock and Miss Legia Kashevaroff were hostesses at a bridge party at the home of Mrs. T. M. Reed. Miss Etta Brown won high henors for the ladies. ‘Weather report: High, 38; low, rain.

He also told Roosevelt about the Allied brass- hats in Italy who took no interest in Italian civilian problems and who probably would not do so until starvation and food riots hit them in the face. This report was placed before Churchill in Quebec, where he put immediate thumbs down on the plan to remove Allied military con- trol in Rome.
