In a recent edition of the Kodiak Mirror, the Governor of Alaska is quoted as saying: “The chief evil of the traps is in the character of the ownership. If we could scatter it throughout Alaska among the fishermen it would be alright, but the salmon industry won't yield, so the only way is to get rid of them.” An anti-trap advertisement' in The Empire says: .. . distribute trap revenue among Alaska seiners and gillnetters . . ." In other words, the wrong people own the traps. If these people won't yield and sign away their prop- erty to Alaskan fishermen, we should put them out of business. That's just about the way it would be done in Russia today. This is known as “social” legislation, a softer term for sccialistic redistribution of wealth or ownership, or highway robbery. Time was when the people of Alaska welcomed with open arms the absentee owners from Outside whose large investments made possible the establish- ment of what was to become Alaska’s largest industry —the canning of salmon. Today that enthusiastic welcome is repeated with announcements that absentee investors of the United States and Belgium will dig up the millions of dollars Alaskans required for the purpose of building Alaska’s first two pulp mills, at Ketchikan and Sitka.

Because the pulp industry will create thou- and Manager | 00; six months, Jn advanoce, $7.00; | Surplus Property Act, and the property was 'turned | " MONDAY, AUGUST 23, 1948 | sands of jobs for present and new Alaskans, just as | the fishing industry made jobs for.the early 'Alaskans and many today, regardless of the fact that the salmon | industry’s seasonal nature and lack of suffigient labor | during the short seasons means that many workers | must be imported from below. ¥ | We suppose that 20 or 30 years hence, thé pulp ! & ] company owners who are welcomed today will be the AUGUST 23 : of the loggers, and the old bogey of absentee owner-|e James W.

VACCO Trouble (Anchorage News) Although it is some distance removed from us, the dissension brewing in the Veterans Alaska Co- operative Company near Haines, interests us no less because of the fate of ancther Alaska experiment is at | stake. The present plight of VACCO recalls happier days in 1946, when most everyone was hoping the group would get the Chilkoot Army Barracks. Just as a matter of record, Kenneth O'Harra, who bid the same amount for the army property as the‘ Veterans' group—$105,000—was later denied the prop- ; erty in a decision made by the then Assistant Secre- tary of the Interior Gardner.
