 These obligations represented by certificates Of indebtedness exchangeable into lOngterm bonds Of the respective countries mature or before the maturity dates of the United States bonds issued to secure the funds with which to make the loans The rates named in the certificates were suf- fcienty above those of the Liberty bonds to make good expenses and losses in connection with the nnanc- ing.

For such governments need it 1t has been agreed to pass exceeding three years the interest passed become part of the principal h. cuding the deferred when these obligations $1 ,OO0 900 O0O the interest is $450,o00,0o0 a year, less

 Washington, D. C. ,. The reasoning is not only not conclusive, but it is obviously falacious Conditions in Alaska are ho' oGe whit different from conditions elsewhere. Inc people who make up this Territory's population are of the same sort. that make up the population o1 Oregon and their interest in their country and Its progress and welfare about the same. NOW, Wha' would our Oregon contemporary have to say if Ii should be suggested that Oregon should be governed by non resident commission? Would it not say at that there 'are people who know Oregon as we'll as Oregonans whose interest in doing the best possible thing for tRe State is great? It is not diff erent in Alaska.
 The people of Alaska those who live in the Ter ritory are the people who making Alaska worth while. They the people who keep the Territory the map. They the people who give value to it's natural resources They the people most in tercsted in it's development progress, prosperity and general welfare They the people who know most about the Territory, it's people and conditions. Why should they not govern themselves? Why should not the commission that is given charge if should be so fortunate 10 get one, be composed of Alaskans: The fact of the matter is that what Alaska need above anything else in the world is broad, com prehensve full Territorial form of government law IL is conceivable that the law should permit the people to decide upon whether they dua house Legislature a commission form of govern ment. But in either the legislative authority should be vested in the people. To this government should be given all the authority that is compatibc with the direct Federal ownership interests Thel such government authority is left to be exercise should be placed in commission such as that pro posed in the Curry plan and real Alaskan, should be on this commission development board The nearer Congress bestows complete seif gov ernment upon Alaska the better it will be for al concerned, the man with capital invested here and the men who work for wages. those who Twin. here and making this commonwealth the Fedora GoVernment and the people of the nation.
