It is a fine idea—the idea of cooperation. But unless Alaskans fight as hard over the election of during the recent election, Alaska’s constitutional convention will be a one man jab. Of course we are among the die-hards who don’t believe that statehood for Alaska is essential to the defense program, that it has anything to do with the defense situation. However, should statehood for Alaska be thrust upon us, the Delegate’s suggestion that Alaskans co- operate to the end that they build for their state a good constitution—a constitution that will be the envy of other states—has merit, but we don’t believe coopera- tion has a chance in the Territory under the present regime. i We would like o see cooperation in Alaska to the end that we “elect the best delegates to a convention Friday, October 20, 1950 COOPERATION WOULD BE A FINE IDEA IF IT WOULD WORK Delegate Bartlett made an excellent suggestion to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce Thursday. We believe it was made in good faith and that the Dele- gate had the best interests of the Territory at heart while he was speaking. This he said: Statehood for Alaska is assured. If it comes up in late November or December after Congress reconvenes for the final days of the present session, the statehood bill will pass, for the votes are there. 3 tehood is not achieved in 1950, the bill will he added. 1 mind, the Delegate said that the only to write a constitution that will be the envy of all the states.” That was Delegate Bartlett’s suggestion. But cooperation? It has been tried without success. There is, we fear, only one kind of cooperation that works in —cooperate with the administration—or else. SOCIALIZED LAW Britain's latest step down the welfare road, is the addition of socialized law to the many “benefits” of- fered her unhappy subjects. Starting this month, the British government will undertake to defray legal expenses of all subjects earn- ing less than $40 a week. To date, we have seen no estimate as to the probable cost of this ambitious program: Here’s how the plan works: The applicant for legal aid appears before panel of lawyers who determine whether he has a good chance of winning his case. If he has, his case is assigned to one of the lawyers participating in the plan. Win or lose, the lawyer collects the fee from the government. Since the war, Britain’s divorce rate has risen more than 500 per cent. Free legal aid is expected to cause an even sharper increase. a “Why do bathing beauties always smile when they thing for Alaskans to do is to coop fhe Washingfon Merry-Go-Rojld {Continued from Page One) Selective Service. “And the USC Alumni News.

(At that time he planned to run for Governor or Lieutenant Governor of California.) “Are there any big conventions coming to Los Angeles where a national-defense speech with em- phasis on Selective Service could be made and to which we could wangle an invitation? There might be some American Legion conven- tion, even though only the State convention or some such. Anyway, would you find out?. Such an in- vitation directed to Gen. Lewis B.

So he sent word to his publicity agent to get set for another draft drawing on July 17, 1941. Next day his publicity agent reperted disappointing resuits. “I got your wire stating that you would take the mike for the first fifteen minutes (of the draft lot- tery) and I then covered the metro- politan papers.
