NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, Wash. ALASKA DISCUSSED Jack Stinnett, Associated Press feature correspond- ent, has the following to say on the future of Alaska: The covered wagons are preparing for a rendezvous | again, only this time they will be LST’s and C-47’s for the pioneers of 1946. Destination: Alaska. Ever since the Alaskan coast and the Aleutians became important to our defense, G. L’s and their officers have been bombarding Alaskan Delegate E. L. Bartlett; his predecessor, Anthony J. Dimond, and the Department of the Interior with questions about oppor- tunities in Alaska. So far, obstacles in the way of pioneering in Alaska have been too great to be overcome by the average individual. The expense of getting there alone is con- siderable. The additional expense of maintenance, housing and transportation while one “looks around” make the experiment almost prohibitive. Although Interior and the Delegate's office in the Capitol here have been generous in doling out informa- tion whenever it is requested, the residents of Alaska, their Chambers of Commerce, etc., have not been too edger to encourage migrations. There is good reason for this. Nobody knows better than the Territory’s inhabitants what the problems are of locating and making a living there. To invite an influx of persons ill equipped by temperament, physique and finance to withstand the vicissitudes of Alaska would be only to increase its problems of relief and unemployment a thousandfold. Alaska’s Governor Ernest H. Gruening once said that a decent, independent Jiving could be worked out ’but an economic problem. | become the great crossroads of the world’s skyways. |tions here that the “covered wagons” are headed for { equipped with initiative, courage, brains, brawn, | patience, persistence—and some capital.” That's a | whale of an order. On the other hand, Harold L. Ickes, while Secretary of the Interior, and other officials have been singing the song of Alaska for years. Ickes, writing recently | (in This Week’s Magazine) again cried “shame” that we hadn’t done more to skim something more than three billion dollars off the cream of natural resources in the Territory for which we paid less than seven and | a half million doliars. Alaska is our last great frontier of untapped Inatural resouces. Before the last thunder of the bombs of Pearl Harbow has died, the Hawaiian Islands will be as populous, or possibly overpopulated, as many of the States. The Philippines are going back to their people and promise to ‘be an economic problem for | years to come. Puerto Rico never has been anything | | Major Chet Roy Clo Ann Cam JUNE Ronald L. Ms. Mrs. Lisle F. Robert Leo Frank M Mrrs. John But in Alaska, there are undreamed-of natural resources, untold opportunities for capital. It may It might provide many jobs. 1 know of no one who has denied these facts; but the Alaska boom is on a slow fuse. It is only in The last few months that there have been definite indica- a rendezvous for the United States’ last great pioneer- ing trek. It’s strictly business! This newspaper is talking about the four dollars you get back for every three you invest in U. S. Savings Bonds through the payroll savings plan. You see, you lend the U. S. Treasury money you dor't need right now. Then in just ten years, the Treasury gives you back four dollars for very three you let them have—another wayl of saying thanks for the loan. Yes, it's strictly business but good business and there’s no better outfit in the world with which to do business than the U. S. Government. Back Your Future!

BUSINESS A (Washington Post) It ought to occasion no surprise at all that the head of the National Association of Manufacturers has expressed warm praise for the head of the United Mine | Workers Union. Mr. John L. Lewis, according to a statement made in Chicago the other day by Mr. Robert R. Wason, “has always worked in the interest of the people he represents.” No doubt Mr. Lewis would be glad to say as much for Mr. Wason. There is a kinship between them in the myopia with which hey view the interest of the people they represent nd in the degree to which all other interests are excluded from their vision. We should think it not unlikely that a number of Americans would disagree with Mr. Wason’s ob-| servation that “the loyalties of John L Lewis are to| America, first and foremost.” This is simply to say Mr. Lewis tends to press his own concept of thej special and immediate interest of the people he rep- resents with a ruthlessness that leaves entirely out of | account the welfare of the rest of the Nation. Mr. Wason's admiration of this single-mindedness stems, no doubt, from his own practice of it. The one man aims to wreck wage stabilization, the other to wreck | price stabilization. And since wages and prices aref but opposite sides of the same coin, they recognize | that victory for either will mean victory for both. Hence the alliance between them and the joint alleg- jance to a motto which reads: “The public be damned.” NATIONAL 1 of all proved safety cluding radar, will vent such accidents In time the secret tions but not until willing to check her bitions. firm this claim. are promised by the without minor probl Children born toda in the Territory by any man “with the pioneer spirit, Equipment Bill, which indicated | other.

This is unprecedented in the mere exchange of formalities between Army Chiefs, who are not supposed to discuss policy, espec- ially when one of them is officially on his way to John Hopkins for a health check-up. Eisenhower’s lgngthy conference, Braden com- plained, had compromised the State Department’s entire position. Note — This columnist, having long covered Latin American af- fairs, for years has watched mili- tary juntas built up and wars, aments, Latin' American generals they can get them—Bofors, Vick- ers, U. 8. second-hand peddlers, or from the Government of the Unit- ed States. Either way, arms always create trouble. Only way trouble can be avoided is by an inter-Am- erican and control defense agree- ment. That is why the State De« partment doesn't want to put the cart before the horse; also why Eisenhower’s geniality and U, 8, Army meddling can have under~ mining consequences.
