This committee’s stand against statehood is based on facts that are potent arguments in favor of it.

If we are smart enough to tap others for our revenues and avoid taxes otherwise, certainly we | should be smart enough to run our own government las a state. The committee's thinking seems to be mixed up. {1t will be recalled that they experienced a railroad |accident while in Alaska. Their bodies were tangled |up.

They visited | the Territory for the purpose of learning what the | Federal government planned to do with certain funds for which an appropriation had been asked—an item | that the committee Killed before they investigated.

Just The committee's stand on statehood for Alaska i as it has victoriously completed the most momentous is apparently based entirely on its disapproval of the: three and a half years of its history, is the Navy to present tax structure. Taxes are certainly no con- clusive evidence to the Territory’s ability to undertake statehood. The Congressmen are just as far off base as the man who tried to tell the depth of a well by the length of the handle on the pump. If we were to engage in such tomfoolery, we could very well produce facts and figures on Federal reve- nues and expenditures to prove that the Congress is not ready to undertake the affairs of a sovereign nation. If the Congressmen devoted thought to the sub- ject they would marvel at the adeptness of Alaskans so gallantly? Let the admirals have a care. They are playing with dynamite. Anyway, if we are to have a unified military force, wouldn't it be a better idea to wait until that is consummated and then design a new uniform for everyone? There would be some reason in that. But merely to outlaw the present distinctive uniform because a few obvious landlubbers have writ- ten to the newspapers saying the flapping legs and thirteen-button flap and middy blouse are ridiculous appears an incontinent surrender to public pressure. * 36.

Miss Marie Falldine made a report on her work in social welfare and community health, and B. M. Behrends, Chairman, said the by s had been entirely satisfactor From Tokyo came the report that proceedings of the Diet, h something of a mystery to the general Japanese public, would be given the people by radio, if plans of a Tokyo broadcasting company received eretofore approval. The American Legion announced plans for cooperating with local school authorities in observance of National Education Week. The Am- ericanism Chairman, H. W. Frawley, was to secure speakers to appear daily at the schools, as well as the night citizenship school which was |to epen November 1. Members of the eighth grade had been elected for the staff of the “Junior Journal,” which was soon to appear as a new publication. In- cluded on the staff were Winnifred Carlson, Edward Mize, Earle Lager- gren, Harry Flory, Richard Radelet, Donald Williams, Dagny Hagerup, Elsie Jensen, Cecelia Larsen, Lloyd Bayers, Daniel Livie, Phyllis Bayers and Xenria Kashevaroff.
