CASE THE ALASKA STE/ PRESENTS T We hope everyone interested in Alaska, in trans- portation and in the government’s antitrust suits pend- ing in Anchorage read the statement of Mf. G. W. Skinner, Alaska Steamship Company president, in an advertisement in Tuesday's Empire. It tells part of the story ad- ministration’s etfort put so-called big business out of business. Most people in Alaska are familiar with the fight that has been made against the Alaska Steamship Company. Nearly every session of the legislature in recent years has considered bills that would put the Territory into the steamship business or give to the Territory complate control over water transporta= tion. a of the present sto Now the Antitrust Division of the United States' Attorney General’s office has filed a civil injunction suit in Anchorage against the Alaska Steamship Com- pany and various company officers and has procured Alaska Steamship firm. explains: a criminal indictment against the Company and the same officers of the In his advertisement Mr. Skinner ¥ THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE-JUNEAU, ALASKA - “The criminal indictment and ciyil complaint are identical except with respect to the peralties demand- The criminal indictment asks that we be deglared and the civil complaint seeks to compress which would paralyze ed. riminals, us into a legal ‘straight-jaaket us but leave our competitors free to operate as, if, Rnd when they please. “The suit, could mean the end of water transportation to all the Territory by private enterprise. It is the next step toward socialized gov ernment operation of steamship service to the Terri- tory It is an unwarranted attack upon our com- pany and is simply another strand in the noose being certain elements in government to hang if successful, prepared by so-called ‘big’ business. | While | Company is the Maritime every operation of the Alaska Steamship done at the request or with the approval ~ every rate must be by every fare charged to Maritime Commission recommendation another branch of the government is declaring the | | company criminal for operating in a manner prescribed | Commission assed upon the commission, rding | by the Maritime Commission. We believe Mr. Skinner's prought against the company. i And we agree with his statement that “the’threat | of monopoly hdhging over the Territory of Alaska is that which day by day is threatened by government itself.” It will be a difficult fight against a determined opponent. It will be costly for the Alaska Steamship Company and it will be costly for the government to carry these suits tHrough the courts. The Alaska Steamship Company is not defendant. So many others have been named n these antitrust indictments that, before, the list of the “honor roll.” 2 There should integrity in power and its use—but there is a “that like a devastating pestilence, pollutes whate’er it touches.” When government uses its power to harass busi- denial of the charges| the only as we have said those sued is called, in Anchorage, be an power it | ness devastating pestilence, and like a pestilence it v\fill spread and destroy us. For its determination to fight in Alaska this threat of monopoly in goverhment, none who is familiar with the situation will fail to thank. the .Alaska | Steamship Company. ! Mr. Skinner deserves the support for which he asks “in this eommon cause.” | It has been said that the bravest man was the} one who first ate an oyster. Maybe so, but we'd cast our vote for the man who first attacked a grapefruit in a breakfast nook. The Washinglon Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) time.

A’s problems in bolstering Korea was a likeable, | well-meaning stubborn Korean who long lived in exile in Washington, | Syngman | 80-year-old President Rhee, Rhee came to the United States as a student, studied under Woodrow Wilson when he was a professor at Princeton, was so close to Wilson that he attended his wedding. Later, as the Jap war lords tight- ened their grip on Korea, Rhee found it unwise to go home, and set up a government-in-exile In Washington. At one time Cordell Hull intervened on his behalf when Rhee wanted to marry an Austrian woman but-could not get a pass- port visa. Learning of this, Se retary Hull told his passport offic- ials to expedite the visa, thus Rhee got married. After V-J day, Syngman Rhee seemed a patural to become Pres ident of Korea, and with the help of the U, S. military he was put in office. - However, Rhee, then over 80, was too old, too rigid, had lived too long outside his country, was not familiar with moderns Kor- ean problems. Ambassador Muccio has had session after session w'h the stubborn Rhee, demanding that he clean up graft, hold elections, and purge the Communists from his governme The latter had caused wholesale desertions from the Korean Army,” had pired guerrilla attacks and intermittent uprisings. Finally Rhee agreed to hold elections on May 30, and on that date his party lost Possibly the prospect of strong government which would clean up internal Comm m was another reason for the Comm attack on South Korea at new l th |witty and conservative Colorado | Republican, recently confided: *I |would prefer that Gene not come |back this year.

The vacationists have enjoyed a delightful trip and were especially thrilled at catching 53 trout one| day and 45 another on a short! plane trip to lakes near Ketchikan. | Another thrill was the fight put up by a 50 pound salmon caught by one of the party before reaching Juneau.
