We have pointed out time and again that except for ‘“vested interests” or ‘“outside capital,” Alaska would not be as advanced economically as it is today. Neither would most of the large geographic areas of the United States, for that matter. There has been a continuous roar and bellowing against outside capital—that is up until now. As everyone knows, establishing a pulp mill is not a peanut-sized investment. Pulp is a heavy industry. It takes logging equipment, power facilities, mills, boats and everything else that costs big money. So when a new chapter in the development of Alaska was ready to open, everyone, including the castigators of vested interests, welcomed with joy and shouting some $20,000,000 that could only come from the Outside. i 1f Alaska is to be developed it must be done by le AUGUST 21 James Fullerton Dave Mielke Charles Bland Mrs. Eugene Yarborough Carl Harris Rex K.

We have been given the impression that the so- called “vested interests’—a term we have never fully | ership; that they should be kept under the competent ! jurisdiction of the United States Forest Service; and hat the Forest Service should be empowered and nabled to administer the grazing and other privileges lon a scientific basis, so that a maximum use may be |put to them for the sustenance of livestock without depletion of the soil and other vital resources. | Beyond that, the Pacific Northwest would like to know whether this document gives any hint as to | whether the committee has seen more light on the boundaries of the Olympic National Park.

The politicians can't be too concerned about high prices when they insist that farm prices be supported.” Young did have one item of good news, and one word of praise.

Time has not tempered it. He denounced the Association of | American Railroads with unabated | vigor. “The AAR. has only itself tof blame for the Government's claim | to hundreds of millions of dollars' in alleged wartime freight rate overpayments,” Young declared. | “The Association could have gone| to the ICC during the war and| openly asked for higher rates. The roads could have gotten a 6 percent profit instead of a measly percent. Then they wouldn't be| facing a demand for reimburse-| ment today when they can ill af- ford it. But, apparently, the AAR. wants litigations. It is run by lawyers who prefer to make big fees by litigating rather than working out a sensible settlement. In the meantime, the public reads about| the overcharges and feels that| fraud has been perpetrated. “Another example of A.AR. stu-| pidity is the Western rate case, on which a decision is now pend- ing.
