We have seen colored slides of the ice cap shown by Harry Sperling at the Chamber of Commerce. We have made trips to Taku or to Atlin and seen the gh(‘l?ri enroute and they rate high for their scenic beauty. But we doubt if there is anything anywhere on carth to equal the grandeu: of the ice cap trip, of the snow fields, glaciers, rugged mountain peaks, mountain lakes with hundreds of falls streaming down high mountain walls into the lakes . . . all of this not fifteen minutes away from a Juneau airplane har , Tourists make the trip when their ships come to town. But, we are told by the airplane company executive from whom we inquired, few Juneauites have flown back over the ice cap. From Juneau, up Taku Glacier, back over the ice fields, so near the Devil's Paws that one feels one can touch them, over more ice and snow until horizon "md ice fields blend, over mountains and valleys of ice, until one suddenly sees Mendenhall Glacier and wond- or< about the route the plane must have taken to have arrived back over a.familiar seene less than 40 minutes.

A Solution ribune) (Chicago ] Secretary of the Interior Krug has advanced the extraordinary contention in a report to Mr. Truman ; that the United States might have Alaska taken away from it by the United Nations because of an assertnd failure to develop the Territory. Mr. Krug hinted that | some undefined power rested with U. N. to disregard American sovereignty over Alaska in the interest of a more equitable redistribution of underpopulated areas. The threat was empty, not only because U. itself has not dared to advance any such claim, but bee: around. Vast stretches of Siberia are quite as un-’ developed and underpopulated as is Alaska! So are such British and Dutch imperial holdings as the great islands of Borneo, New Guinea, and Australia. The Truman administration, however, laid itselt open to abuse of its own and the American record in administering territories when it meekly agreed to render annual reports on Alaska and other holdings on the ground that they were “dependent territories” within the meaning of the U. N. charter. Russia refused to do anything of the sort, even as regards | such stolen and captive states as Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. The effect of its Interior Department’s sub- | mission has been to give U. N. a foot in the door. on August 8.
