GOVERNMENT NOT PROTECT ING ALASKA DEVELOPMENT
 From Ketchikan Chronicle


 Only a few days ago The Chronicle brought to attention the matter of a government yes sel going through the port carry ing lumber manufactured in the states for consumption by the government in Alaska. This we viewed with apprehension in that it appeared there was no good reason why Alaskan spruce or hemlock could not have suit ed the same needs on the part of the bureau of education.
 Now, it appears there is an- other condition of consequence and importance. During the past few weeks permits have been granted by the Forest Service for the shipment of logs to the states or elsewhere. We question not the motive nor the reason. Apparently, in the minds of those officials in charge, there was ample justification.
 For many years it has been the policy of the forestry bu- reau, as We are informed, to look askance at applications for shipment of logs from the Ter ritory. This seems proper and constructive. Alaska never will be built if it's raw products are shipped to the states or else where for manufacture. They must be manufactured at home.
 Alaskans generally should use their every effort in preventing the shipment of unfinished pro ducts from the Territory, pro- vided, of course, that such ac- tion is in accord with the law.
 Editorial note: There is no legislative enactment by Con- gresS which authorizes the For est Service to refuse permit for eXportation with the present con dition of Alaska's timber. The proviso is made that shipment of surplus timber shall be per mitted but permits refused when the supply is endangered. This refusal to issue Xport permits by the Forest Service is. a concoc- tion of their own without the law and public policy
 While there must be general objection to the shipment of

TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT
 PROTECTION

On another column we reprint an editorial from the Ketchikan Chronicle. We urge our readers to digest that brain storm of Peanuts" Morrissey. For it truly is a brain storm.
 "Alaskans," he says, general ly should use their every effort in preventing the shipment of unfinished products from thel Territory, provided, of course, that such action is in accord with the law"
 While objecting to shipment of uncut timber to the states or tO} foreign markets Peanuts" says that "in Southeastern Alaska there is not more than one or possibly two mills f1ourishing" Why are they not f1ourishing? Because discriminatory regula-I tionS by the Forest Service put a crimp in their operations and
 permitted the Coastal states to grab certain foreign markets which should have been taken
 care of by Alaska timber and lumber men. Further the regu-
 lations governing cutting oper- ations made it impossible for the logger to operate at all and the
 to operate on poor timber
 The mills cannot flourish un-
 der the circumstances. There is
 not a sufficient local demand for local finished products and the state and foreign markets re- quire top grade products which
 naturally causes a glut on the To- cal market of culled lumber. The local demand can be adequately taken care of by any one of the larger mills. The old Wrangell mills virtually had monopoly on the local markets until forced into bankruptcy by bureaucratic
 regulations, poor timber and in ternal troubles caused by the op- erating losses. To make matters worse, the canning industry is turning to the pulp mills for shipping boxes which throws out of business a major industry of the numbering business.
 Between the Forest Service re- gulations which have driven and are driving timber operators out of business and the lack of an adequate market for finished
 lumber products, the industry is facing a crises which unless met immediately will finally close out
 mills now bankrupt or on the verge of bankruptcy. So the log ger must turn to the foreign market for timber sales, and the mill operators must learn to say uncle" to the little tin gods of the Forest Service and on bend ed knee beg keepers of our for
 ests for permission to log and dispose of our timber in order that we can hire and fire our men in camps, buy foods and
 supplies from the stores and sub scribe to the Chronicle and oth- CT publications in Alaska instead |of driving our citizens to mills and camps on Puget Sound to build up those mills and indus tries.

The indignant cackle of a

Jerry felt his face redden

relieved any by the raucous bel

The girl suddenly started the
car. "All right" she said, but

Neither said another word
during the short drive, and at
the police station the girl ran
up the steps ahead Of Jerry.
She literally burst through the
door and headed fNr the office
