NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 uith Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash, ALASKA'S RACIAL PREJUDICE As a result of the anti-discrimination measure passed by the recent Territorial Legislature, Alaska is receiving a great ‘deal of notice and fame as a land where racial prejudice against the Indian, Aleut and | Bskimo is carried on by a large percentage of the white population "4 One writer compares the situation in Alaska with | that of the Negro in the South. {* Richard L. Neuberger, writing for the Washington, | D. C. POST, describes Alaska as a place where “na- tives have consistently been made the subject of discrimination.” The words, “WE DO NOT CATER TO NATIVE TRADE,” Neuberger writes, “has been a famillar sign il many Alaskan restaurants, hotels, inns, theatres and taverns.” Many Alaskans, we believe, upon reading such misleading and false statements as the above, will wonder, as we wonder, just where Mr. Neuberger secures his information. He quotes both Gov. Ernest Gruening and Alaska Delegate E. L. Bartlett. Neither of these men, we are sure, having seen actual con- ditions in Alaska, can subscribe to the statements printed above. Nor would it seem to us that the plight of the Alaskan Indian, Aleut or Eskimo could be compared generally with that of the Negro in the South, who is denied the right to vote. In Alaska the aboriginal population bhas had the right of participation in our elections and Territorial government for many years. Two Indians were elected to the last Legislature, re- ceiving not only Indian votes but many white votes, As we have stated before, discrimination does exist in Alaska just as it exists all over the world. But we question the view that Alaskans, unlike the people of other regions, seem to make an orgy of it. Much has been accomplished in Alaska over a period of years toward the lessening of racial dis- crimination. There may have been a time when the sign, “WE DO NOT CATER TO NATIVE TRADE,” “for $1.50 per month; | Lo! The Poor Indian | (Washington Post) i One of the strangest opinions to be handed down by the Supreme Court in recent years was read from the bench recently. Justice Reed spoke for the court, although his opinion reflected the views of only three |of the court’s nine members. Justices Jackson and Black teetered on the fence through four pages of a concurring opinion, leaning heavily toward support of | the Shoshone Indians’ claims and then flipping to the |court’s conclusion against them. Justices Frankfurter and Murphy joined Justice Douglas in his dissent and then Justice Murphy wrote a long dissent of his own, apparently to show that he was doubly repelled | |by the majority’s conclusion. Justice Reynolds dis- | |sented without writing an opinion. | It was an old treaty with the Northwest bands of Shoshone Indians signed at Box Elder, Utah, in 1863 | |that produced this five-way split. The court \ms! {called upon to determine whether that treaty recog- | ,mzed title on the part of the Indians to 15 million acres of land in the Western States. The Indians were | ‘seekmg damages amounting to 15 million dollars Ior} loss of those lands. To find the meaning of an 82-| | year-old treaty with nomadic tribes who kept no records and did not understand the English language | | was admittedly a difficult task. We have a good deal | |of sympathy with the contention of Justices Jackson |; |and Black that the court “could not satisfactorily apply ; ]egal technique to the interpretation” of such a docu- | ment. ‘\ The white man had ruthlessly encroached uponl the Indians’ hunting lands and killed off their game. Let destitute, the natives began to prey upon caravans of white pioneers moving westward. United States troops reduced the Indians to submission. Then a | treaty was signed granting the whites transit rights | over Indian lands and in return giving supplies and | | recognizing their “claim” to vast tracts of lands. To | |be sure, the language of the treaty suggests'that ) ‘mmethlng less than title to the land in our language | was intended. But the Indians had no word or even the concept; of legal title. They wanted only the right | to roam’ the lands and hunt as their ancestors had ,done for centuries. That right, of course, has been ‘taken from them. Because of the great advantage of the learned white man dictating terms to the illiterate conquered natives, the Supreme Court has heretofore resolved ambiguities in such treaties in favor of the Indians. Five justices made vigorous pleas for similar treat- |xurhile world satesmen must work ment of the conquered aborigines in this case. But Justices Jackson and Black addressed their appeals to Congress. Even if the court had found in favor of the Shoshones, they pointed out, the only effect would have been to allow for attorney fees and to earmark the balance of the recovered fund in the Treasury for future appropriation in the interest of health, education and industrial advancement of the Indians.| In these circumstances they felt that Congress should | take over the whole problem of aiding these peoples | whom we have despoiled. By casting their vote the other way, the two pivotal i justices would have effectively dumped the problem‘ into the lap of Congress. As matters stand, they have | merely handed down an essay on the Government's moral responsibility. We hope that Congress will heed their advice, but we are not convinced that the court has done its full duty to right the wrongs in(nct,ed‘ on this minority. Incidentally, these opinions, re- vealing as they do the shameful conduct of the master race in America toward conquered peoples, will make good reading for those critics who think that lull‘ jusfice in all parts of the world must be a condition | | precedent to our _mmmg an international organization ‘mattel how good |cause some parts | unorganized labor Washingfon |like what is proposed. | “Labor wants to GO-ROIIMI |“and no labor (Continued from Page One) | legislation.
