TR | With very good reason, the Prince Rupert Daily News takes to task the Alaska chambers of commerce | for their scant representation at the annual conven- tion of the Associated Boards of Trade of Central British Columbia and Affiliated Chambers of Com- merce of Southeast Alaska held earlier this month at Prince Rupert. The Daily News points to the fact that the Alaska chambers sent plenty of resolutions to the annual meet by Alaska's one and only representative, who, the News continued, did her job “capably.” That one representative, vice president for Alaska for the Associated Boards of Trade, was Susie Winn, Empire staff member, who represented the Juneau Chamber of Commerce. and the Daily Alaska Empire. Next year, we believe Juneau should make an ef- fort to send a larger delegation to this important meeting—as should other towns in Southeast Alaska Those who read Miss Winn's report of the meeting in the Empire and heard her report fo the Chamber of Zommerce were impressed with her story of boom- ing British Columbia. These people in British Columbia are our neigh- bors. Our resources are similar. We have, in com- mon, forests, mines, water power and fisheries. That our mines should remain unproductive while neigh- boring properties in British Columbia are operating profitably; that we are only now commencing to de- velop our first pulp mill, whereas British Columbia’s several have been operating for many years; that a 9dly iggaul, 10 The Washington Merry-Go-Round the American | ahead of their |tain on their people, government, have kegun to penetrate the Iron Cur-!but own, to attract such investors to Alaska. it our joint Boards of Trades a little interest among something representation hould serve to s the Alaska , in part, is the Prince which towns upert Daily News editorial asks: “WHAT OF ALASKA? “Alaska was represented by only one delegate at the annual convention of the Assdciated Boards of Trade of Central British Columbia and the Affiliated Chambers of Commerce of Southe: Alaska. A well- known and popular young lady—Miss Elizabeth Winn, Juneau newspaperwoman—came, bearing a number of resolutions on important matters of mutual concern between Alaska and central British Columbia. par- ticularly the port of Prince Rupert, which she capably piloted through the convention. “So there could be no complaint about the quality of the representation which Ala; had at the convention. However, it was something much to be regretted that there should not have been more quantity and broader representation. “It is some years now since forward-looking members of the Prince Rupert Chamber of Com- merce, realizing the importance of Prince Rupert's strategic position as gateway to Alaska, commenced the goodwill movement in relation to the territory. We remember the response which we received from enthusiastic business men and community leaders, particularly of Ketchikan, our nearest neighbor, who brought lively energy and new ideas to Associated Boards’ conventions of recent years. In 1947 we even had the Governor of Alaska here. And, in other years, there were strong delegations at Associated Boards conventions here and elsewherc. But where were they all this year? “In view of the new industrial development of Southeastern Alaska — the pulp mill at Ketchikan the plywood mill at Juneau, the newly reopened saw- mill at Wrangell, the expanding fishing industry, the increasing tourist travel—the service that the port of Prince Rupert, the Canadian National Railways and the Skeena River highway have to offer, say nothing of the market that could be created in Alaska for central interior agricultural products, would appear to be of more significance than ever today in relation to the territory. “It is particularly disappointing, therefore, that we should have seen so few of our Alaska friends at to the convention. . . . usually far| WEEDING 'OUT BUREAUCRATS It hasn’t received any publicity, President Truman has ord- ered a drastic housecleaning to at the same |time aged Senators have drastic- |ally and dangerously curtailed the | State Department budget for win- ning friends and influencing peo- (Continued from Page One) for this column to report what sweep the drones from federal gov-| overnment. An ultimatum has al- ready gone out to all agencies to clean house or face budgetary and thejr general conclusions are: 1"—Russia will not lafach world war III this year. However, Russia is fexpected to continue pressing war by satellites. 2.—China, not Russia, has been more eager for a truce. The U. S. war study indicates that Russia came out with the truce proposal chiefly for propaganda purposes; perhaps to stall for time in order to get new arms to Korea. 3.—Next step in Communist ag- gression is likely to be Burma, Thailand, and Indo-China. This is all “important to the Kremlin if the millions of China are to have rice. Moy ow ,whould rYobably gamble on starting world war IIT in these countries, though she does not actually want it. '4—In Iran the Russians will probably march into the northern province of Azerbaijan and take it' by force—if the British go into southern Iran to protect their oil refinery. Here again the Russians are willing to gamble that the west will not go to war over Iran. 5—In Germany, the U. S. an- alysis does not anticipate a Rus- slan military move, but does for- see a continual army build-up. Moscow’s biggest drive will be pressure through local govern- ments to stop the building of U. 8. air bases in Europe and north Africa. Behind the Iron Curtain Increasing evidence is coming back from inside the Iron Curtain to show that the Iu‘(‘d(lm-fi'i(’nd-i chip balloons and other activities of the crusade for freedom have really got under the Kremlin's skin. In east Bohemia, for instance, fields where the balloon messages fell were declared “off-limits” to farm workers by security sections of the National Communist Com- mittee. In another section of Bo- hemia, Communist officials offer- ed rewards to the teams of youth brigades who collected the largest number of friendship leaflets. Near the Czech-Austrian border, a patrol of border police reported “yoluminous flying objects” which might be enemy paratroopers. When Prague got the report, it dispatched tank units amid great excitement. “The ilying objects, turned out to be pillow with the word “Svoboda"— “Free- dom”—written on them in large letters. They were bouncing along the ground in the early morning Jtwilight like miniature flyjing saucers. Inside of them, of course, were friendship messages from the American people to the people of Cechoslovakia. +This is an illustration of how however, balloons | personal cuts. “The present emergency has | caused great demands on the man- | power resoufces of our country with shortages of manpower in certain special areas already be- ing felt. . ;The federal government, as the largest single employer in |the country, should set the ex- ?ampla Therefore, I expect the | head of each executive department | and agency to bring about maxi | It was meant for the eyes of a mum effectiveness and economy in 1[0\\‘, select Senators only, but old|the utilization of personnel,” the critchety Kenneth McKellar, the president wrote in identical letters grandpa of the Senate, has \\'rmcn'm Civil Service Chairman Robert ple.
