THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA BANQUET CLOSES | ABT CONVENTION: “TALKS ARE GIVEN With a feeling that great pro- gress has been achieved in furth- | ering international goodwill between the people of Southeast Alaska and Central British Columbia, the members of the Associated Boards of Trade of Central British Col- umbia and members of the Affil- iated Chambers of Commerce of Southeast Alaska concluded t two day session by a banguet last evening in the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel.

M. Greene, retiring President of the ABT, who acted as chairman. Dr. Greene called upon Gov. Er- nest Gruening and the latter laud- ed the efforts of the Canadian and Alazka groups of meeting together to discuss their very similar prob- lems. He stated that Alaska had hitherto thought that she was in a unique situation of being a cclonial outpost far removed from the national seat of government | and it was heartening to Alaskans to know that the people of Cen- trdl British Columbia felt far r moved irom Ottawa and that at times received the same disinter- ested treatment from the Dominion government. H. W. Brighton, Canadian Trade Commissicner at Vancouver, stated that such co-operation and under- standing as had been indicatpd here would bring results. He de- plored the fact that similar good- will could not be exemplified in the field of international affairs |8 am.

R:(DOC) WALKER RE YOUR OPENING OF THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN IN THE FIRST DIVISION Your radio address last evening, which opened the campaign for the Democratic Party in Alaska, is tak- en by Republicans to declare the issues which must be decided by the | i | vote of the people on October 13th. We must now assume that you speak for your Party, your First Diyision Chairman — Mr. Stump; v; Democratic -appointees—both Fed- eral and Territorial, and the other Democratic candidates in additfon to appointee Metealf, who, you say, | nas spent $140,000 in the First Di- vision for read construction, public and private. You say that now in 1948, after 16 years of Democratic domination and after 18 years of your own “service” in the Legislature, that {we are right back where we were in 1932. IS THAT PROGRESS? You say tnat you sponsored tax legislation, but you neglected to say that the onlyv tax you passed was the “Sales Tax" and refu to even consider any other means of raising meney. You say that the Communists want to defeat you, but you neg- lected to say that you were elected with the support you now condemn —and that you have recently made craven overtures pleading for that same support. You say that you have been sus- of being emotionally un-| pected stable. Is it not true that you re- signed during the last Legislature and only the charitable refusal by the Governor saved you from the folly of your own behavior? Is it not true that his salvaiion granted by Governor Gruening now tompels you to condone the $140,000 spent by appointee Metcalf? Is it not true that you resigned from the Senate because you were not elected the President of that body and that you condemned both Sentors Rivers and Peratrovich for their perfidy in voting against you and electing Andrew Nerland to preside over a Democratic majority? | What have you done for Juneau and the northern part of the First Division during your 18 years' “service’? What, except tender your resignation? Where is Ju- neau’s share of the $140,000 spent by appointee Metcalf—an expendi- ture of gas-tax money that you now so eagerly applaud? Of course, Mr W'\lker asa cm\dl- We believe it’s -our right, too! For fourteen years we've been forced 1o accept a constantly ‘irregular and interrupsed service. We feel justi- .date you should stand on your rec- |ord—a record found not only in the Senate Journals, but also in the | newspaper accounts of the sessions, the remembered conversations ana even the hotel registers of those| eventful nights. i ALBERT WHITE, 1 General Counsel, | Republican Central Com- | mittee of Alaska, Juneau, Alaska, | September 24, 1948.
