NATiUnAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers- 1411 Pourth Avenue Bldg, Seattle, Wash. THE SENSIBLE WAY Hearty congratulations are in order for all parties in two of the three recent local disputes who have just concluded successful negotiations. All concerned deserve to be highly complimented for the manner in which these negotiations were conducted { There were no incidents of name calling or cloud- ing of issues. The entire proceedings, in all of the disputes, were conducted in a manner which proves that such matters can be settled by sensible arbitra- tion to bring about a meeting of minds. Perhaps, all parties diG not recelve everything wished for from these negotiations but it is certain that many demands, by ch side, were granted by the other, To compromise, each party must surrender something. Some sacrifice must be made to gain the This settlement of -difterences, by mutual conces- sion, is an excellent example of fine labor-management understanding and could be the beginning of better permanent relations between employer and employee. Work stoppages are harmful, not only to those concerned, but, to many innocent parties The em- ployer and the employee both lose income while work is suspended. They are not the only ones to suffer, however. In controversies affecting so many people, as these we have just concluded, the economy of the entire community must suffer until an agreement is reached Once again, may we offer congratulations for bringing such a speedy conclusion to an affair we are sure everyone wanted to settle amicably. We sincerely hope that the third dispute will also be settled quickly and sensibly Pope's station ALASKAN EXPERTS? In a recent issue of Collier's, author Richard L, Neuberger states “everything is high in Alaska. Even | before the war, eggs were $1.25 a dozen, milk 28 cents a quart, haircuts at Fairbanks $1.50." Mr. Neuberger listed this information in an article titled “Beating the Arctic Bush” which dealt primarily with Alaska’s famed bush pilots. It is too bad that the author took advantage of this opportunity to give the bush pilots the com=* mendation they so well deserve by including such mis= irfformation. We investigated those prices and found that the! quoted costs of milk and eggs wag untrue in any of the larger communities which contain the majority of the | Territor: A in Juneau s population A matter of fact, eggs today are only 73 cents We do not feel that the Fairbanks haircut price out of line, either. They were priced at $1 in Seattle and Fairbanks is certainly emtitled to | that differential. Milk was only 25 cents per quart at Fairbanks in 1941 We are at a loss to Qiscover where Neuberger He spent a short time in the Yukon and Ala: as an Army Public Relations Officer during the war and has since received con- siderable revenues for articles which tend to establish received his information him as an expert on things in the Territory Buredus and Bureaus (New York Times) Not long ago Mrs. Robert A. Taft stirred ur of controversy by saying that Washington was & high- boy of bureaus, or something to that effect. And that led to some lively discussion as to just what a bureau is. So far as we know, no decision has been reached and we have no idea here of trying to give a ruling. We can say, though, that some of our Government’s bureaus are really nice things to have, and even though some of their jobs are odd they turn out in the end to be purposeful and helpful. Take, for instance, the Fish and Wildlife Service |'That bureau is going in for “tagging” 20,000 seal pups for our greater knowledge of the migration routes %Azx(l the food habits of the Alaskan fur seal. And that fact is what led us to mention the subject of bureaus. It seems that this seal investigation was touched off by the little men of Japan on Oct. 23, 1941, when that country notified our State Department that it would abrogate the Fur Seal Treaty of 1911, which prohibited the killing, capturing or pursuing the ani- mals at sea. ' The Japanese contended that the seal herd was at least part of the cause of damage to their fishing industry, and they said they intended to stop the marauding creatures. Now some 20,000 pups have been tagged with little pieces of metal en their flippers. It won't be until 1950, however, when this year's pups will be three years old and ready for killing, that com- plete data will have been accumulated. The killing season last year was from June 10 to July 31 and a total of 61,447 fur-seal skins were taken during that period. Ordinarily, only the three-year-old bachelors are killed, as their skins are thought to be the best; but as an experiment, the skins of 10,000 four- year-olds also were taken this vear to determine whether they will have any significant value to the fur trade. Since the Government assumed direct control of the fur seals in 1910 a total of 1,367,322 sealskins have been cropped for market, and they were worth about $40,000,000. Any when we get all that data col- lected we may have some interesting things to tell the Japanese about where seals go and wh; And station fl;e Washihglon ! Merry-Go-Round By DREVK‘-EARSU.\' (Continued from Pagr. One) from Rome :ast December by this cclumnist, the campaign was push- ed by Generoso Pope in his Ital- jan-American newspaper, II Pro- gresso. Day after day he pound- ed home the idea. Then it was taken up by others, until a million extra letters a week cleared the New York Post Office for Italy EVERYBODY WROTE TO ITALY All sorts of people helped. Out in Toledo, Mayor Mike diSalle formed a committee to encourage friendship letters. Unpublicized in the same city, Marion Antonini, a high school student, worked late every night translating letters, even paying postage from his own poc- ket In Philadelphia, Ralph Marlowe, chief interpreter of the Municipal Court, toured Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey and Delaware drumming up letters to Italy Citizens of Locust Valley, N. Y. organized “Operation Democracy,’ which they called the “People’s Marshall Plan,’ and speeded up their plan of aiding the Italian City of Ponte Carvo, destroyed by ar In Schenectady, Pat Truchio helped raise $5,000 to send cables to the Italian people In Jersey City, Richard Bonomo got up a special message from Ital- jan-Americans addressed to the people of Laurenzana, the town from which they came In Lan- sing Michigan, Mrs Elizabeth Belen boosted the letter writing campaign Even in St. Peters- burg, Fla, a city distinct from the centers of Italian population, the Chamber of Commerce raised mon- ey for cables back to Italy This is just a cross section of what thousands of Americans did in the people-to-people campaign so win the Italian election. The roll call is too long to call in one column WAR BRIDES TALK TO ITALY Then there was radio. Walter Lemmon, of World Wide Broad- casting, an endowed foundation, turned all his facilities loose on Italy. Mrs. John Lodge, wife of the Connecticut Congressman, de- voted most of her time to helping beam these broadcasts . . . Gener- oso Pope's station WHOM, New York, gave Italo-Americans a chance to talk to their relatives back home . . . Some wept, some laughed, all exhorted their friends in Italy to Crowds lined the abreast, one block long . save .as a wov, w York, put on special iprograms by war brides. i | Communists have been telling Ital- |ians that war brides in the USA| | were mistreated, so WOV gave !these war brides a chance to tell | how they were living happily in ! America, how well Americans treat- ed them, and how important it was to vote for non-Communist friendship with the USA. In other words the defeat of Cemmunism in Italy was because a lot of Americans really went out' and worked at the job of making Italian democr: live. | FRIENDSHIP TRAIN OF BOOKS Congratulations to Joseph Brandt, president of the Henry Holt Pub- lishing Company, for suggesting a friendship Train of books for Eu- rope. Mr. Brandt proposes that all publishers get together at the end of each year and donate their un- sold non-fiction books about Amer- | ica to Europe. Large publishers, says Mr. Brandt, have thousands of unsold books about America gath- ering dust on the shelves. = Why not send them to Europe? Note—A train of books now may a boatload of bullets later. TRUMAN AND SPANISH WAR When GOP Congressman Tom Martin of Iowa introduced Horace Havenner, national commander of | the Spanish War Vets, to President Truman the other day, the Presi- dent recalled his own excitement boy when the United States declared war on Spain 1 “It was one of the biggest dis- appointments of my life that I was unable to serve,” said Truman. “All my neighbors were going, but I was only 14 at the time and too young.” National Commander Havenner, a Des Moines attorney who hails from Marengo, Iowa, in Congress man Martin's district, remarked that the ranks of Spanish War vets were dwindling rapidly. Many of his colleagues, he said, would be attending their last big encamp- ment when the organization cele- brates its 50th anniversary in Washington this summer. “Yes, it’s sad to see them pass- ing on,” agreed Truman. “Three or four of my neighbors who fought at Manila died recently.” “But there is a happy note in that the people of Cuba, whom we liberated, will always be thankful to the United States,” commented his visitor. “I am sure of | President. “The Cuba and the Philippines stand |out as great illustrations of the ‘role the United States has played it,” replied independence the of vote for democrucy.}und continues to play in reorgan-| street four- | outuidelmg them establish themselyes.” l izing smaller countries and help- Troops Moi)e fo Hanford Afomic Project in Wash.
