OUR CITY'S FUTURE When a Territorial agency uses the taxpayers' money to print a booklet containing remarks which are highly critical of the industrial possibilities of any Alaskan community, something’s vitally wrong some- where. However, this is the case in the latest publi- cation sponsored by the Alaska Development Board. “Juneau, the capital of Alaska, in my opinion, has relatively little to offer industrjalists. Hard to ap- proach, uated as it is between two big mountains, there is not much room for physical expansion. I believe it has very nearly reached its top size now. Although with Douglas on the opposite shore, it is making a heroic effort to be a metropolis, in reality it is only a big Alaska town of 7,000 to 8,000 inhabitants. Its presperity lies in the fact that it is the seat of the government. I cannot see that the town has much to offer industrialists, except as in the case of Sitka, to service the town’s needs.” That's all that is said about Juneau in the 16- page booklet which praises other Alaskan communities | as follows: Ketchikan: “one of Alaska's transportation hubs; practically all ships and airplanes stop there strategically located . . . always a great deal of activity . rive for development and I would not be sur- 'prised if, in the near future, it would double its present size or better.” Wrangell ment than any other Alaska town's. mostly to the enthusiastic work of its commerce which are animated by spirit Anchorage: “largest . ern . . can think of . . " The dismal forecast for Juneau not only will dis- courage potential investors, but is almost enough to scare away those that we now have While the charge made will be hotly contested by any Juneauite, the fact that the Alaska Develop- ment Board makes the description of our fair city official is something to be considered. We do not know how many of these pamphlets have been distributed, but the people of Juneau should demand that those remaining in the Alaska Development Board office should be destroyed This is due chamber of a progressive . busiest most mod | i Paging Monroe! 1 (Cincinnati Enquirer) | Facing much more serious problems, the world is | taking scant notice of several accumulated territorial | grievances in the Western Hemisphere. But they are the very stuff of which the Monroe Doctrine is made. And it is quite possible they will lead to a few skirmishes, and compel the attention of the United Nations Guatemala has contended for a long time that the territory of Belize, or British Honduras, belong: | rightfully to her. Never having been able to mustel the force or prestige to make the argument stick, Guatemala has not forced the issue. And never hav- | ing won the cordial support of the United States, the | Guatemalans could not involve the Monroe Doctrine. | | Now, it appears, the Guatemalans have taken note of the fact that Britain has given up Burma and India and Ceylon, and is preparing to abandon Palestine. If the British Empire is breaking up so easily, the Guatemalans seemingly have reasoned, they might as well stand by to pick up Belize when it falls away. Certainly there areé no other takers. Travelers who have taken a good look at Belize are not dispesed to urge their home governments to put in a claim for it. The Falkland Islands, well off the Argentine coast, are another disputed area which finds Argentina persisting in a claim against Great Britain! This issue has been argued back and forth through the decades, in a dssultory fashion. And now that Argen- tina is under the rigorous discipline of a strong man, with pretensions to the status of a great power, there are signs of new pressure on the British. * Chile also is in the game, making a strong bid for a sector of the Antarctic continent. is in the Western Hemisphere, and therefore covered by the Monroe Doctrine, geographers and international lawyers might dispute for years. The stakes are not large in any of these con- | troversies, although they may loom up importantly for the smaller nations concerned. And until there is more trouble than has developed so far, the world community undoubtedly will continue to look steadily in the other direction, with eyes for graver problems | in areas of more strategic importance.
