We believe that every one of those votes was a con- sidered vote against statehood now. No real fight against statehood was made in 1946 when the vote was taken. The referendum was “for” ! or_“against” statehood. And who isn't for statehood? | Who wasn't for statehood in 19462 The question of statehood now, of paying for statehood now, is.the important matter, it seems to us. When we are convinced that the present popula- tion can pay for statehood—and the cost will not be small—we will be for statehood as earnestly as we will oppose it until u‘fll time. BRITISH POINT RATIONING OFF 1 British newspapers of May 20, according to BBC shore-wave broadcast by BIS listening post, as received by airmail by The Empire, discuss the Food Minister’s decision to abolish points rationing in England and all of them applaud it as a wise decision. The Man- chester Guardian recalls that it is only a month since the Food Minister decided that the points rationing system should be maintained in a restricted form. It says: “Mr. Webb has been quick to recognize that the new form was not a success and has resisted the ad- ministrative temptation always to give new impro- visation a long trial.” The paper thinks that the points rationing system ST! \ThllOOl) NOW? se amended Statehood Bill is, we are sure, the thoughtful production of serious members of the Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs. They were told at committee hearings that “every G-I in Al a wants statehood.” But we know that is not a fact. They were told that the only people certainly served a useful purpose in time of extreme food shortage, but that the need for it has now gone. It ends by saying: “It served us excellently for many years, but what finally died yesterday was substantial only in its costliness.” The News Chronicle, another Liberal paper, takes the same line. It says: “Mr. Webb has taken another step towards organizing himself out of a job and into the esteem of his fellow citizens. He appears to have the quality—not universal among his colleagues—of Over forty per cent of the votes cast at the time | who voted Alaska. We know that is not true. that the vote we call attention to the 16,000 on statehood, 41% AGAINST statehood fact that in cast Statehood committee members, we are sure, think that people in Alaska are demanding statehood in that we feel cheated of overwhelming numbers . . . our franchise . . . we can't vote fol We in Alaska do not feel like foreigners. ns, even though we can't vote for Presi- | Minister.” loyal Americ dent—and less than 20,000 votes W presidential election, anyway.

S. foreign policy, John Foster Dulles, was going to be something of a disappointment to his fellow Republicans. Simul- taneously looks as if the big Democratic money-raiser, Secretary of Defense Louey Johnson, was go- ing to be qui a help to the Republicans. t, Johnson, the Democrat, ly going to please the more than Duiles, the vool Republican, r aid to Formosa and alist China that Republican raised suech a howl last howl which led to the intment of Wall Street attor- Foster Dulles as State adviser, senators find that s Is privately critical of Douglas MacArthur panese policies, one of { sending arms to For- a John artment Now GOP GOP Dul GOP Ger and hi which 1 !which would like to go in for a Secretary Johnson Congressmen in support of thur. “There is no Japanese problem dl MacArthur can't solve,” says. “The Japs' don't want to leave.

It speaks of Mr. Webb as now having done a good deed, but wants to see him tackle the job of abolishing all food ration- ing. It says: “Let him go down to history as ‘Webb r President. | the Liberator” What a day it will be when we burn We are | the ration books and forget there ever was a Food a vote of aboutt ouldn't affect a | The Conservative Daily Graphic welcomes the | Minister's decision as a triumph of common sense.
