It all added up to a future state per annum per capita. In looking over some statements made by Alaskan officials at the statehood hearings in Washington in April we were surprised to see that George Sundborg, | then manager of the Alaska Development Board, ad- |solution of Britain’s dilemma. mitted that the per capita per annum tax would be | around $100. And a further amazing fact is that he contended this would be only $17.50 per year more than Alaskans are now paying. In other words, Sundborg s: that Alaskans are already paying $82.50 per capita per annum in Territorial taxes, but on the other hand that this is nothing.

Under the new measure, the Attlez jovernment will have authority to impose rigorous new estrictions (serving dollar exchange. It will have authority to reduce the armed forces materiallv, and funnel the labor supply into high priority industries. It will have | power to impose new limits on the supply of food and clothing available to the public. At the same time, the Labor government is pledged to postpone ihdefi- | nitely the nationalization of the iron and steel industry. These do not seem to constitute proof of a dic- tatorship in the making. They are an extension of wartime powers, not unlike the recent extension of President Truman's emergency powers—a step taken by a Republican Congress with its eyes open, recogniz- ing that post-war problems partake of the emergency character of wartime.

He will charge tnat the Administration has no clear-cut foreign policy; that the so-called Truman Doctrine is being poorly administered by small- bore political henchmen; that the Marshall Plan is no real plan at all but a miscellany of nebulous ideas; and that the Administra- t.on’s proposal to give arms to Latin America is potentially catas- trophic. Taft will make it clear that he favors supporting democratic gov- ernments against communist ag- gression. But he will insist it is crucial for U. S. security to tak» stock of our resources and to plan our foreign aid on that basis Taft will assert the Administration is sutordinating the stimulation ot vital foreign trade to wasing in print a diplomatic war with Rus- sia. Taft will hold that Russian imperialism, not international com- munism, is the real world menace. His position is that if the U. S. disregards Russia and puts its for- eign relief and trade programs in order, relations with Russia will improve. Social welfare—Taft will vigor- ously advocate federal aid to states to raise teacher's pay, improve school facilities and lift education- al levels. He will favor a mini- mum federal outlay of $50 per child per year. Taft also will strongly urge enactment of his health bill providing funds for states to erect hospitals and clin- ics, particularly in rural areas. Housing—Taft will indict the Ad- ministration’s housing record as a dismal failure. He will charge that the Administration is as much to blame as the real estate lobby for the failure to develop low-cost housing. He will call for enactment at the next session of Congress of his housing bill un- der which low-cost housing would be financed by the Government Taft will contend this is the only such housing can be obtain- ed Taxzes—Taft in personal taxes and further slash- will insist on a cut He will can be es in the federal budget declare that $500,000,000 economized by the proper admin- istration of the foreign lending program, and that $2,000,000,000 Territorial Legislature was in session, a so-called model tax program for Alaska to Averell Harriman, at that time is what the Conservatives would do, power Whether they succeed or fail in this crisis, the British Government and people are setting a sound example to the world of attempting to rebuild their economy by hard work and sacrifice. if they were in | The list of visitors for the week | "also included Mr. and Mrs. Joe| Chcairs of San Bernardino, CaliL; and Mr. and Mrs. L.
