However, the time is ripe for a letdown and that is something | we should guard against The Seventh War Loan is an immediate call to duty and one place where we can all help. goal of $7 billions has been set for Series E bonds Here in Alaska we have been asked to invest a total of $4,000,000 in all bonds. Gastineau Channel’s quota is $425,000. We believe that there may be a feeling here that because the European war has ended the need is | not as great as it was a year ago or a month ago. This, of course, is not so. Ted R. Gamble, National Director of the War Finance Division in Washington has this to say on that subject “The task ahead of us in terms of financial needs remains gigantic. Despite all that has and probably will be said about expenditures, there is no indication whatever that expenditures for will fall below their present level for a period of at least 90 days following conclusion of the Seventh War Loan Drive. Our job therefore, from the point of view of raising money to pay for the war ahead and raising it from war the sources best designed to combat inflation is more | imperative at this particular moment than at any time during the lifetime of this important home front program.” Speaking of inflation, the Federal Reserve reports that from July, 1944, to January, 1945, individuals’ demand deposits in banks increased by $3 billions and those held by unincorporated business which is also largely personal, increased by half that amount. Dur- ing the same period individuals’ holdings of other cash assets, including time deposits and currency in circu- lation, increased by $6 billions. The total increase, therefore in liquid assets held by individuals was more than $10 billions. Developing Self Government (Anchorage Times) Economic development of colonies is necessary to enable territories to develop their own resources that out of them they can meet the reasonable claims for social standards. ‘That sounds as though it came from the pen of an Alaskan pleading for the right of this great Territory to have its resources made availble for development. It sounds like a plea for a relaxation of the Federal restrictions which historically and presently preclude the possibility of Alaskans guiding their own destiny. But actually, it came from the pen of Col. Oliver Stanley, Secretary of State for the Colonies in the government of Great Britain. Although it is so apt A national | in its application to Alaska, it was not written wnl\I this Territory in mind Colonel Stanley has stated the principles of lhe] British government in isting its colonies to develop. To Alaskans one of the interesting features is that | the thought comes from the British government and |e not from a colony under that government. | There is a lesson in Colonel Stanley’s statement | worthy of study by the United States officials who | hold the controls over the development of Alaska | It is well known that the British Empire became great through the wise administration of colonial governments. It is also historically written that what | is now the United States was lost to the British Empire when the colonial people of this continent refused to tolerate unbearable conditions of government | A nation born under such circumstances should | be expected to adopt a wise policy for the development lof its territories, But the opposite is true. Thi United States government failed to provide any sort | of government in Alaska for almost two decades after | purchasing the Territory. Since 1867 it has been a| continental battle to-obtain a few, limited rights of | | self government | This nation has made more and more difficult the | development of the resources of Alaska. It has con- tinually refused to grant powers of self government | to the Territory. It has failed to conduct investiga- | tions which are necessary to the correct understanding of the pdtentialities of the northland to the end that a sane and constructive program for its use might be | drawn. | |’ But the British government has followed the op- | | posite policy one that has continually fostered | development of its possessions We in Alaska might humbly petition our govern- | i ment in Washington to look to the British government | | for the ‘principle on which to base its program for this | Territory. | | “There can be no true self-government if it is| lallied with permanent financial dependence upon | }ouwxs Colonel Stanley, wrote under the title “Teach- {ing the Colonies to Govern Themselves.” | | “On the side of social and economic developments, | Britain has a new and potent weapon. In 1940, at a | | time when our future seemed blackest, an act, The Colonial Development and Welfare Act, was passed. “By this act Parliament placed at the disposal of | |the colonial secretary a sum of 20 million dollars a\ | vear for development and two million for research for | a period of 10 years. “This year, when victory seems assured, the Pal- liament is being asked to extend that period and | largely increase those sums. On the basis of that | assistance, combined with the resources of the colonies | themselves, T am asking each colony to prepare al ten-year plan for social and economic development. “The istance is not intended to be a permanent | ldole. 1t is intended to provide those fundamentals, which are the necessary preliminary for each colony | [to develop its own economic assets, the health, the ! | industry and the skill of its people. I “There are any objects for which this money will | be required; education, health, water supplies, com- munications, development of agriculture and second- | ary industries.” This statement from the British Secretary of State< for the Colonies comes at the time the Congress of | the United States is killing the efforts of the ad- ministration in Washington to plan for the develop- ment of Alaska and enable this Territory “so to| develop their own resources that out of them they | can meet the sonable claims for social standards.” | Colonel Stanley pomnts the way for development | | while Congress apparently endorses the stand taken by Rep. Jed Johnson of Oklahoma, as Chairman of | the Appropriations Sub-committee, who dubbed two | proposals for development funds as fantastic. He said in Congress: | “Oniy a few months ago the Deficiency Sub-com- | mittee was presented with a request backed by a opment Advisory Commission. department actually asked Congress for $3,860,000, which is approximately one half the amount we paid for Alaska, to send a commission there for the purpose of which was somewhat hazy “That sub-committee listened patiently to all the alleged evidence that the Interior Department could muster in support of that fantastic proposal, and then unanimously disallowed every dollar requested. the same bundle in reduced form on our committee | doorstep when we started hearings on this bill. This time the name of the proposed commission was not referredto and the item was designated merely as the item for the development of Alaska. In fact, it was so-called survey.” An emin experiencing difficulty in obtaining the items neces- | sary to defend the Territory, suggested that Alaska would fare better by declaring its independence as a nation and becoming an ally of the United States whereby it would become eligible for lend-lease. Now it appears that if Alaska were under the British Secretary of State for the Colonies it would not only be eligible for lend-lease but might also ac- quire the helpful guidance it needs to develop its own resources so that it “can meet the reasonable claims for social standards.” BACCALAUREATE [ SERVICES WILLBE .
