Ickes proposes | to open up Alaska by importing .large numbers of immigrants from Europe. He would provid: jobs by enticing American capital to spend money promoting government supervised “Alaska Deveiopment Corpora- tions.” All of this, and more is contained in his recent magazine article which recently received the attention of Alaska Delegate Bob Bartlett in Washington. Bartlett takes exception to the Secretary's conten- tion that there are no mcre pioneers in America and »oints out that the rigid controls enforced by the 4terior Department over Alaskan lands has made «~gderly development cut of the question. We believe it is a fact that the regulations and sutrols of the Interior Department under Ickes has done more than any one thing to discourage American eapital from developing Alaska. American capital now invested in Alaska is assailed in the campaign by Tckes and his employees in Alaska against “absentee ownership.” Alaska would be nothing today were it not for the American capital that had to come from the States for the development of our fishing and mining industry. Even today Alaskans do not have the necessary capital for the proper development of Alaska providing the Interior Department would drop its attitude of obstructionism. vely entitled to the use for | |about the “aboriginal rights” hearings under which' | Alaska natives were invited to file claims to huge land |and water reservations in Alaska, thereby effectively | halting intended development on what lands were available of that small percentage not aiready held in Federal reserve. | At that time we pointed out that the hearings would kill Southeast Alaska's hopes for a pulp mill | Industry and the Secretary wrote a long letter to us in which he dismissed the idea as fantastic. Never- | theless, the Secretary knows that was the reason the project was halted — because the only suitable site available turned out to be part of the vast claims filed under the aboriginal rights hearings which are still ! not settled | And not only was intended development halted by the scheme, but industries already established were and are threatened. Does the Secretary know that Alaska now has more than & thousand unemployed of its approximate 80,000 population? American capital would put these | men to work, given the opportunity—but little oppor- | tunity exists. ‘ It seems doubtful to us that American capital will { sponsor government-controlled corporations to employ | thousands of immigrants under present conditions. We believe that the best thing that could happen ‘ to Alaska would be the appointment of a good man as | Secretary of the Interior who would remove a good | many of the impediments to the development of the | Territory which have been built up by Ickes. Then | if American capital can be enticed to develop Alaska, ‘let Americans be put to work before we begin bringing in immigrants. £ ! | | Race for the Moon (Washington Post) The ink of the headlines proclaiming the Army's radar conquest of the moon was scarcely dry when the Navy bobbed up with an announcement that it too will be gunning for the orb with the “passionless bright face.” Navy experiments “exactly similar” to those . conducted by the Army Signal Corps, said Dr. A. Hoyt Taylor, the Naval Research Laboratory’s chief con- sultant for electronics, are ready to go at the Navy's Chesapeake Bay Annex near North Beach, Md. The | Navy has no thought of sitting quietly by while the Army reaches for the moon. | Dr. Taylor was probably thinking solely of uphold- ing the prestige of the Navy in the scientific field. There is no indication that he intended to influence Congress, the admirals or the public. Yet his state- ment is one of the most pointed arguments we have heard for merger of the armed forces. It illustrates, with much more clarity than the light of a full moon, the waste and futility of maintaining separate Army and Navy scientific establishments, each dupli- cating the work of the other. Surely radar will react the same in Navy hands as in Army hands. Surely, | too, the moon will be indifferent to the service af- | filiations of the experimenters. It is a pity that the | Navy does not have some device for testing the re- actions of the public to this costly duplication of scientific work. We suspect that the result would be a thundering protest against all efforts to maintain two defense establishments with neither unification of | common work nor unity of command. During the war, and immediately after, Alaska re- | ceived a great deal of attention and publicity. Hex'ei was a new opportunity for the investment of morcl wealth producing capital in Alaska. interest @ large paper manufacturing company in a | pulp paper mill in Alaska was revived and was pm-l gressing. “Inasmuch ds That's A proposition to | cclumnist. astronomer.

WORLD WAR III One of the German experts spoke up to say that when the Second Deficiency Bill is passed, the State Department will be able to hire four men to help handle German problems. At this, Panuch threw up his hands in despair; for it is estimated the State Depart- ment will have to hire more than 1,000 men to govern the U. 8. zone in Germany. “You fello¥: are playing with peanuts,” remarked Marshall Mc- Duffie, of the Foreign Economic Administration, “when’ you've got to govern several million people.” After the meeting broke up, Wil- dam Rudlin summarized the sit- uation: “4 generation from now when we're fighting World War ITL" he faid, “people will think back and iry to fix the cause of the war. They'll figure out a lot of compli- cated reasons. And probably no one will realize that a few innocent, mediocre little officials, afraid of taking the initiative, afraid of ask- ing Congress for money, were really the s who started World War 1t ol HARRY HOPKINS, LAST | CHANCE | Only his doctor knew it, but Harry Hopkins had one chance to live—though he wouldn't take it. | His doctor, the famous Max Wolfe, also physician to Lord Louis Mountbatten, told Hopkins he had cancer of the mesenteric lymph glands, but could probably be sav-| ed if he would go on a Freund non-fat diet and also cut out smok- ing. Hopkins, however refused. He| used to tell people that, althpugh | he had taken a lot of kicking around, he had no complaints to| make and felt he had got every | minute out of life. In fact: just alter Franklin Roosevelt died, Hop- | kins told Chip Robert that when he looked back on all the national and international crises he had ex- merienced, it seemed that he had lived 2,000 years. S0, when Hopkins refused to ac- cept Dr. Wolfe's order, Wolfe ar- ranged for him to go to Doctors’ Hospital. And there Harry Hopkins, no longer-interested in life since | senior quietly awaited his end. | . TRUMAN VS. PAULEY Regarcless of what you think of | Ed Pauley, one thing should not be forgotten about his chief. President Truman is flatly opposed to Pauley regarding the disposition of sub- merged oil lands. In fact, Truman is more vigor- 018 on this point than the late President Roosevelt. For several years, Secretary Ickes and Attorn- ey General Biddle had urged FDR to adjudicate the question of wnether the States or the Federal Government own off-shore oil— in other words, oil well drilled in land under water just off the coast. FDR, however, always hung back. But, just a few weeks after Tru- man became President, Biddle walked in and asked that this im- portant question be referred to the Supreme Court. Truman didn’t hes- tate. He gave his approval immed- iately. | “You'd better take some time to think it over,” Biddle cautioned. “It’s a delicate question. It might he a good idea to talk it over with Ed Pauley.” | Truman did think it over, but he | didn’t change his mind. He told Biddle to go ahead with the suit— regardless of the fact that most of Pauley’s large oil fortune comes from submerged oil, despite the fact that Pauley helpéd materially | to put Truman’s nomination across at Chicago. | Note—Texas is one state which ' won’t be affected by the submerged oil suit. Its offshore lands were | given it by a special treaty when it entered the Union. LASKAN CRIBBAGE BOARDS ;‘ Perhaps none of the far-flung! areas where the U. S. Army is still stationing men is more dreary and desolate than Alaska in the win- tertime. A peacetime army is il there, however, and what especially gripes G.I's is the way they are kept busy. | Some of them are kept occupied making ornate cribbage boards for officers. These boards are the most elaborate contraptions inaginable. Some of them require as many blueprints as are needed to construct a gun. An especially fancy cribbage poard for Maj. Gen. John B Brooks took the form of an air-' plane propeller, and is made of steel, aluminum and black plastic. Others who had G.I’s construct ornate cribbage boards were Brig. Gen. Isaiah E. Davies and Brig, Gen. Harry A Johnson, | It is difficult to realize how in- tricate these playthings are. Hours of work are spent on them, and mechanical engineers are required | |the death of his beloved Chief, to work out the blueprints. One name-plate made for Col. William .

K, Cleveland, Ohio— Facts regarding the alleged sale of 30 wristwatches when Ed Pauley's Reparations Mission was in Mos- cow and Berlin are as follows. Cy Rubin, State Department official in Switzerland, got a cable from Paul- ey asking him to buy 30 wrist- watches. When Rubin arrived in Moscow, he turned them over to Dick Durham, Assistant Treasurer of the Democratic National Com- mittee and a member of the Pauley Mission. Durham is reported to have sold them on the black mar- ket. He denies this, however, claim- ing that he was acting for Pauley and that Pauley gave most of them away to members of the American Mission that went to Potsdam.
