TATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Seattle, Wash, NATIONAL REF Pourth Avenue Bldg THE HON. WALTER ELI CLARK, LITT. D. It is always a pleasure to record honors well- earned, especially when they are bestowed upon friends or people we have known, Many in Juneau remember former Governor of Alaska Walter Eli Clark and will be pleased to learn of his award of doctor of letters by Wesleyan Uni- versity at the school’s annual commencement exercises last June. A graduate of Wesleyan, Walter Clark was gov- ernor of Alaska from 1909 until 1913 and since that time has been editor and publisher of the Charleston, West Virginia, Daily News. No higher words of praise could be given a news- paper man than those of Wesleyan's President Butter- field when he presented the honorary degree to Gov. Clark: “Walter Eli Clark, for fifty years a graduate of Wesleyan, for fifty years you have used your pen in the service of your community, your state and your country. Modest, successful, fearless, a liberal of the older school, with a faith in the freedom and inde- pendence of man, with a hate of what is dishonest or partisan in politics or government, you have fought the public battle long and well. Your editorials in your Charleston Daily Mail, written with striking independence, have for thirty years been the most widely read and probably the most influential in the State. Because of the ability with which they have been composed, because of the courage with which they were published, because of the force they have been for:homest government in your State and com- munity, you personify the really effective leadership of a democracy—the leadership open to Wesleyan | latest move went [men, to all able and courageous men, who sense the challenge. It is wholly fitting, therefore, that your Alma Mater now bestow upon you the honorary degree |of Doctor of Letters.” profits tax. This means for the last half of the year the earnings will virtually all go to Uncle Sam e | concern will not be run for the benefits of its owners the stockholders, but merely to pay wages and pay the excess profits tax. As far as dividends go, the place | might close up for the last half of the year and no tockholder would suffer. Very likely this story is repeated everywhere and |often. - Naturally it is patriotic to pay taxes and not {grumble. Heaven knows the United States Treasury | can't run forever on a deficit. But such a tax system |seems lacking in common sense. Now men work for money, joint stock companies are run for money. That |1s the incentive which keeps the wheels turning. And that incentive should be continuous. You can't have it | for only six months in the year and remove it for the other six months. Yet we do have precisely that {Tt is a system which should be changed | Furthermore, what reason from a merely selfish | point of view has this concern in making more jobs | for returning veterans? Of course, one might say |industry in these circumstances must be altruistic— |it should think of others and not of itself. That | fine, yet when all is said and done business is business | and altruism is a‘bit above its level ‘ Mr. Hillman’s Panié | (Washington Post) ‘ Sidney Hillman has joined the chorus of panic- | mongers on the air in making our flesh creep about |the unemployment that is at hand. He ought to be |ashamed of himself. “Ten million workers,” he says, “will be out of work within the next six to eight ‘W\'vks » Mr. Hillman, as national chairman of the |C10’s Political Action Committee, knows better. At |least 7'. million out of the 10 million jobless are | surplus workers who would not be in the labor market but for the war. Half of them are children whose education has been interrupted by war work, Others are service wives who are simply awaiting the return {of their soldier husbands to go back home. Cutbacks |already put into effect have yielded some interesting samples of what happens to the displaced labor. In some cases half of the labor force have simply dis- appeared from the labor market. | Most of the labor opportunities will come from the reduction in the hours of labor. The national average at present is 45 hours a week. When the average has been reduced, as it will be, if for no other reason than to save labor costs, there will be more work for men who have been thrown out of war work and who are normal workers. Mr. Hillman | knows all these and relevant facts. He is doing a disservice to the Nation in not helping to put the situation in perspective, in helping his constituents ‘k(‘('p a sense of values. What he wants, evidently, is to rush Congress into remedial legislation. While we !!hink'lh(‘ current bills have been neglected, and that legislation is necessary, at the same time we deprecate such attempts as Mr. Hillman's to dragoon Congress in passing laws in haste. That is how to get bad !instead of good laws. so far as to of-|Mrs. Pauley was listed as an of- The washlngton fend the Chamber of Commerce of | ficial member of the Mission, with her own home town, Independenc: n allowance of $25 a day while Merry GO Round‘ A few days ago, a photographer | overseas. “uauvu- | from the National Geographic | Magazine and a writer nfis.ufned‘ Members of itha; Misslon s tesity (Continued from Page One) | from the Missouri Resources Com_.(hat Mrs. P:m](*y was extremely R s mission, Jefferson Cit stopped mmlpasant, but acting pleasant was couldn't have increased between | Independence to gather material 9“ fhe d,m' .M.m.m"ll;e' 216, Ty June and August, because men over | “04 ilustrations to use in the ®A0% PAIC 0r UIHR cveryine ok, .

Again Congressmen point out that 1,388,000 doesn't equal 500,000, and they suspect that the Army gave out the higher figure last May with no real intention of living up to it. Certainly the Army made no ef- fort to reduce the 85-point score between V-E Day and V-J Day, despite its promise to do so. That promise was announced officially and publicly, but apparently it was never meant. For, on Aug. 7, Chief of Staff Gen. Marshall held a press conference in which he stated mos emphatically that the point scor would remain “as is” and there would be no lowering of it. Marghall's press conference was held just after the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan, after peace feelers already had been received from Japan, and one day before Russia came into the war—Mar- shall knowing in advance that she was coming in. Yet the Chief of Staff spent at least half his press conference telling why the Army must keep 7,000,000 men and de- nouncing Congress for wanting to have less i 8 TION Sugegestion to the War Depart- ment: Why not arrange a system of fur- loughs for men marking time in U. 8. camps, so they can go home for several months if the discharge centers are now so swamped with the job of mustering men out? f At present, veterans with battle ribbons actually are being used to pick up matches to keep them busy until the discharge machinery is speeded up. Let them go home to their families! Picking up waste paper and going through close- order drill is bringing GI blood to beiling point and the lid may blow off at the next election or sooner. * ¥ % THE PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER The President’s daughter, Miss Margaret Truman, continues to dig, her own grave with the press.
