The delegation consists of 180 publishers of weekly “and small daily newspapers serving every section of the United States and Canada. These are the men and women who deal in the news and who, individually and as a group, play the most important and respon- sible role in the formation of public opinion. That ~4hiey are alive to that responsibility was demonstrated H*gy the serfous and thoughful manner in which they imducted the business of their recent convention. > During their meeting in Seattle, which adjourned Tuesday, the delegates displayed a lively interest in national affairs. Discussions included such timely and pertinent topics as atomic energy, the Korean war, wages and prices, the foreign press and, of course, Alaska. Since the issue of Alaskan statehood has been catapulted into national prominence, We believe that ““Tour guests will be interested to know what Alaskans _pave to say on the subject. They have long been exposed to the highly emo- 1 Sional pleas for statehood; heard the irratibnal argu- __ments advanced by the Alaska Statehood Committee, various political groups and the Hearst press. They have heard the imaginative claims that statehood for LY Ayl’nskn is essential to national defense; that Alaskans, ineligible to vote in presidential elections, are rated second-class citizens; that statehood will immediately bring new people and new industry to Alaska. The fallacy inherent in these claims, many of which are embodied in Senate Bill 50 (the most recent bill aimed at thrusting premature stdtehood upon during the lush years of Federal spending for defer The resultant peril of financial chaos and gove mental bankruptcy would be multiplied many times over by thrusting statehood on the Te at the present time, with the added burden of supporting the new State government now, and later when the golden torrent of Federal dollars has ended . . . «Alaska now has almost every kind of t found anywhere else in the country. With the new taxes just enacted, it is estimated that Territorial taxes will now amount to $126 per capita per year, a figure higher than that of any other State. «Statehood is expected to double the of government for Territorial inhabitants, adding ap- proximately $10,000,000 to their annual tax bill “Is this a proper burden with which to Alaskans so that a handful of ambitious politicians may realize their dreams of becoming Senators, Mem- pers of the House of Representatives, Judge: other officials of the proposed new State ? That is only direct benefit, for a handful of Alaskans, passage of the pending bill can hope to convey. question answers itself. “Qut of the 108,000 inhabitants of Alaska (aside from military and naval personnel), between 30,000 and 35,000 are natives who are nonproducing and who, therefore, contribute little revenue to the Territorial government. The effect, of course, is to increase the burden on that segment of the population that does ax to be cost idle the that The produce. “To grant statehood at this time is to fail utterly in our obligation to guard the welfare of those who have ventured to the Territory to make their homes and | | June 11 At noon — Lions club, Baranof. ‘f.\l noon — BPW luncheon on Ter- race at Baranof.

We quote the follow- ing from the mmonty‘ views which accompany and #fe a part of that report: " “Arguments for granting immediate statehood to Alaska are based on tenuous and illusionary theories which will not stand examination. The proposal is a chimera. It has been advanced as a means for speed- ing the Territory's development, increasing its popu- lation, and placing it on a sound economic footing as a member of the Federal Union. <, “Passage of the pending legislation will accomplish none of these things.
