ES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 NATIONAL Pourth Avenue Bidg., ANOTHER GOING OVER Representative Jed Johnson as chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Sub-committee, yester- day gave Alaska another going over in a report to Congress. The trend of the report is that Alaskans aren’t doing enough for themselves in the way of raising taxes, building roads, hospitals, schools, etc. We pointed out several weeks ago that as far as Alaska is concerned the per capita tax here is almost double that of Johnson's own State of Oklahoma. It appears that Johnson has done very little research but has simply taken the word of some other critic of Alaska and has been misinformed. The list of charges he makes are familiar to us for we have heard the same for the last three sessions of the Territorial Legislature in the message of the Governor of Alaska to the Legislature, and this should be a good indica- tion as to his source of information. The committee’s report advised war veterans against homesteading in the Territory without careful personal investigation of the opportunities and con- ditions under which they would live. But the com- for $1.50 per month; [ roadbed, but we doubt if they would have made this recommendation if it wasn't for the fact that they learned the hard way when the train they were riding was derailed. They might also have suggested that the rates be lowered when the surplus reaches intc the millions of dollars. Why Way for Britain? | (Washington Post) | Lord Keynes has made it plain that failure tc obtain from us the aid needed to reconvert British industries and expand British export trade sufficiently to cover import requirements, will necessitate reten- tion of various “defensive” trade controls. In other words, Britain will have to continue to rely upon exclusive bilateral agreements of the Hitlerian type in which purchases from any country are matched against sales of British goods to that country. The result wéuld be the antithesis of the goal at which we aim-—multilateral trade on an expanding basis. However, if forced to rely upon their own limited | resources, there is no other feasible course open to the | British. They are not indulging in threats aimed at |obtaining concessions when they draw inescapable conclusions from the premises. The feature of Lord Keynes’ statement that makes |it noteworthy is the decisiveness with which he embraces the alternative open to Britain in case we provide needed aid. That alternative is to return “at |the earliest possible’ date to normal trade practices | without discrimination and to increased freedom and | liberality in commercial and tariff policies.” By rang- ling himself alongside those people who believe that I]nwra] trade policies will result in a general ex- ! pansion of world trade bringing increased prosperity |to both Britain and the United States, Lord Keynes dispels fears that the British have become psycho- | logically wedded to the system of trade controls that | has served them in wartime. His admission that a good many people in England are in favor of exclusive agreements is. however, a reminder that the British do have a choice of alternatives. Undoubtedly they ‘(‘ould manage to exist under a system that would sharply curtail their imports. And, as Lord Keynes notes, the sterling area countries have their resources tied up in Britain and will, therefore, be unable to |trade freely with the rest of the world unless the ! British are in a strong enough position to release some of these frozen foreign balances for use elsewhere Lord Keynes' statement clearly implies that the British are ready to offer us substantial trade con- cessions, such as adjustments of Empire trade pre- ferences and tariff reductions, in return for financial aid adequate to tide them over a critical transition | period. Such trade concessions would be infinitely | more valuable to us from a long-range viewpoint than |any commitments Britain might give to pay interest | on loans advanced to her. In fact, a commercial loan | arrangement would add to the volume of Britain's | burdensome external debt and would, as Lord Keynes ‘snys. b¥a “soft and deceptive expedient.” The negotiations now in progress call for a long- range grasp of the issues at stake.
