PAGEFOLB S : i Daily Alaska Empire Published every evening except Sunday by the EMPIRE PRINTING COMPANY Second and Main Streets, Juneau, Alaska. | HELEN TROY MONSEN President DOROTHY.TROY LINGO Vice-Prestiant WILLIAM R. CARTER Editor and Manager ELMER A. FRIEND Managing Editor | ALFRED ZENGER Business Manage: that no such rights were ever recognized by Russia before the purchase; that the Treaty of purchase gave no such rights but containéd an express recital that Alaska was transferred ‘free and unencumbered by any reservations, privileges, franchises, grants or pos- vy any assoclated companies, whether cor- porate or incorporate, Russian or any other, or by any arties, except merely private individual property Second Glass Matter, | Nolders,’ and that Congress repeatedly has passed leg- lislation, the effect of which would have been to ex- tinguish aboriginal claims if any Had existed.’ (Article VI, Treaty of Cession.) * “It is certain that the development which has I been brought about by an enterprising people in the seventy-seven years which have elapsed since the pur- chase of Alaska from Russia would not have occurred if it had been thought that the titles to land, mines, and fisheries would at some time be put in jeopardy by the assertion of prior rights by the Indians. These developments were undertaken with the encourage- ment of the national government and with the under- standing that the public land laws of the United | States, the homestead and townsite laws, and the mineral laws were extended to the Territory and would protect the pioneering settlers in their work and investment.” “Alaska natives have never been reservation In- dians. They have always been free to move around the same as white people. They are full citizens. They vote, hold office, work alongside of their white fellow citizens, réceive the same rate of wages, and the same treatment. They dress the same as white | people, and their children mingle with white children in school. And there is no place in the nation where there is less discrimination against the Indians or where they have greater opportunity to be equal in all | respects with their white associates than in Alaska. The best informed Indians wish to retain this free- | dom and equal standing rather than become wards of | the government. “The effect of the establishment of these reserva- tions would be to create chaos, and to stifle develop-| ment in Alaska at a time when the post-war outlook points to a greatly expanded interest in Alaska, and when new industries, such as that of pulp manu- result in more widespread publicity than was received facturing, are in prospect.

Stilwell's problems in India has just come to light in a hitherto unpublished re- port written by John P. Davies, State Department adviser on Gen. Stilwell's staff. In addition to his troubles, Stilwell's biggest operating against the Japs in Burma. Here he largely used In- dian troops, which, according to! the secret report made by Ambas- | sador William Phillips to Roosevelt, would not resist the Japs and were largely mercenaries. Phillips re-| ported to FDR that the Indian Army would fiot fight until India | was' given a promise of independ- enice. (Phillips was subsequently | recalled from London after this DORANS ¢ leaked out.) | 30. Purpose Mr. Davies' report to Stilwell is| 35 Satroidicket even more detailed and revealing. .Bexfg\r's:hly Stilwell's trotbles' in China ' were | . vl " chiefly responsible for 'his recall, but the situation in India was considered largely responsible for his' failure ‘to. make progress in Burma. Davies did not paint a very bappy picture. His official report said: “Unless steps are soon taken to ‘provide for a prompt and or- derly delinquishment of British rule in favor of an Indian national government, we run the risk of | facing in our time chdos in India, which may provide the fuel for an- other great war.” REPORT CRITICIZES BRITISH It is now known that Gen. Stil- well ‘had“a ‘lot“of squabbles with Lord Mountbatten, but the real story of his troubles because of the Indian political set-up has . only been hinted at.
