(The Tacoma News Tribune) Visitors to Alaska, of whom there are many thousands every year, and Pacific Northwest busi- nessmen, hundreds of whom have dealings in the territory, have long felt that there is something ter- ribly wrong with the goverinment of our northern neighbor. With the tourists it is hardly more than an impression of dissatisfaction received from talks will promptly notify in the delivery otfice, 3T4. d to it or not other- local news published ke Newspapers, 1411 with the citizens. The Far North businessmen are more definite and can name chapter and verse. With them it is a complaint of absentee landlordism com- bined with absentee government, This may seem a strange critidism when it is remembered that Alaska has its own legislature, el- ected by its citizens, a delegate in Congress (who cannot vote), a governor and secretary of state as well as other officials, appointed by the President. But back of all of these is the U. S. Department of the Interior which pulls the strings and really con- trols what goes on in Alaska. Saturday, September 22, 1951 It was for this reason that former Tacoman Lew M.

Williams is an able newsman, but we will not pass on his ability as a territorial secretary of state which President Truman did gratuitously Thursday when he said he was fired because he was incom- petent, that no politics was involved. We quesetion very much whether Lew's quali- fications for that job are much diffeent now then when he was a small town publisher who waved the New Deal banner vigorously if not so high as Ernest Gruening who was named governor. This brings us two pertinent questions. How come that it took seven years to find out that he was incompetent, and second, is competency to be a criterion from now on out for those who hold ap- pointive jobs. If the latter is true a tremendous overturn in U. S. officials of varying degrees of importance is long overdue.
