NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Aiaska Newspapers, 1411 foarth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, Wash. Thursday, September 21, 1950 MR. BARTLETT KNOWS BETTER The attempt to identify all opposition to state-}yupper fifties, wearing a soft felt hat, an unbuttoned hood with the canned salmon industry is dishonest and unfair. Thousands of Alaskans, of diverse inter- ests, are unanimous in their opposition to statehood. And no one knows that any better than does Dele- gate Bartlett. We take exception to the delegate’s statement to the press as reported in yesterda Associated Press dispatch from Washington. Mr. Bartlett told capital reporters that several telephone calls were made from Seattle by persons identified as being connected with Alaskan fishing interests. He went on to say that the! calls were made to Senators asking that they vote Second Class Matter. | of the National Statehood Committee—almost a hun- 'drm names and not an Alaskan in the lot. Another is the fact that statehood’s greatest support comes from outside the Territory. Witness the impressive roster of members We've been subjected to a lot of criticism for our stand against Alaskan statehood. We've been called the ‘tool of the vested interests, the ‘mouthpiece of the canned salmon industry’ — even the ‘axis pres: We've been told that we stand in the way of progress and development and all the good things that will come with statehood. We want to know what these ‘good things’ are. We want to know how statehood will benefit Alaska— and to date the statehood people haven't been able to give us more than a number of widely divergent guesses. We're curious about what statehood is going to cost. And estimates of its leading proponents vary by millions of dollars per year. The spread between the high and low estimates is more than eight million dollars. As long as such questions remain unanswered, we will oppose Alaskan statehood. Until Alaskans know the answers and approve them, statehood will remain a dangerous step into the unknown. And we're buying no pigs in pokes today. Al White Visits Fairbanks (Fairbanks Daily News Miner) One of the passengers from Juneau who stepped out of the Pan American clipper “Live Yankee” at Ladd air force base yesterday was a large man in his overcoat and a friendly smile. After 45 years of ab- sence. Albert White had returned to Fairbanks, his former home, for a visit. The last time White arrived in Fairbanks, in 1905, he came in with a team of dogs from Valdez over the winter trail. . . Fairbanks and White have undergone considerable changes in the intervening years. The city has be- come an important mining, commercial and trans- portation center of the Territory. ‘White has risen to a prominent positian in Alaska public affairs. Today Albert White spent several hours walking along streets — which he remembers merely as rutted lanes of mud — arousing the memories shared by all against the statehood bill. Bartlett declined to identify the Senators who received the calls. Of the phone calls, Mr. Bartlett said, (they) “sccm| to be a last desperate effort to block statehood for the( Territory. I think that it will help the cause of statehood because it again brings out that the salmon fishing industry is doing everything in its power to block statehood.” Mr. Bartlett should realize, and we're willing to wager that he does, that there are a great many Alaskans opposed to statehood. And we think Mr. Bartlett is also aware that a high percentage of these people have no interests whatever in the salmon fishing industry, which, by the way, is the greatest source of tax revenue in the Territory.
