 One way the post office depart ment could save millions of dollars would be to quit printing stamped envelopes at give-away prices and sending them without pay Crank ed), in competition with local printers. If the post office depart ment would charge a reasonable price for printing and furnishing stamped envelopes and also charge postage for delivering the package, it would go a long, long way to- wards eliminating the millions of dollars deficit.

JUSTICE vs.. BUDGETS

Secretary of the Interior Ickes announces that no federal funds will be available to governmental bodies who have not balanced their budgets. On the surface, this looks like good common sense, but it is not so wise as it appears.
 A number of cities in the nation nave decided not to let their people starve They have seen to Il that large relief funds have been made available. These funds, it IS need less to say, have unbalanced the budgets. Now, when federal funds are appropriated to benefit the job less and provide work for those who need it, the very cities which have tried to meet the problem in the past are being penalized for their humanity. They will not be given funds. because their budgets are not balanced. The cities Whi h paid no attention to the relief problem and allowed their needy to depend on private charity will be the re- cipients of the money now avail able. Fer the sake of justice to sui fering humanity. the new federal regulation should be rescinded.- .-EX

INDIAN CHIEFS APPROVE
 DEMONSTRATION WORK

Jay B. Nash, who was placed in charge of the Indian reforestation work by MT. Collier, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, reports that the full quota of Indians, IA, 400 in number, are now in full swing in 53 reservations. He states that the tneia pbhsefTation work. In their tribal meetings thew have declared this plan to be one of the best ever set up by the U. s. Government for the benefit of Indians. One Indian Chieftain said, "We are in need and our young men want work. You solve both our problems and we are today very happy" An Indian council said: "We will do better
The Wrangell sentinel., 1933-07-21

work than the white camps, we are working for ourselves, we improve our own land, and the Government pays us for helping ourselves. We will be very happy to work"
 About 20 per cent of the In- dians will live in their own homes and walk to work, which will be provided in the community About 40 per cent of the Indians will set up their own camps, and with their families will live near the work. One old Indian said, We have al ways camped We know how to live in the woods; our families will be happy with us In these instances the Indians will do their own cook ing and will organize their own community life. In about 40 per cent of the cases, small camps will be erected" Mir Nash said.
 About 25,O00 Indians will be helped, as on many of the reserva- nelped, as on many of the resesva- tions the Indians work alternate weeks, one week on reforestation work and one week at home tend ing crops or doing other necessary work oil their land.
 Assistants will be placed in the camps to take care of the routine duties, and to promote wholesome camp morale through the use of leisure. In addition to many of our own American games which the young Indians play, there will be singing. dancing, hunting, fishing and handicraft activities. Indians 3Ao are gathered into camps, will be divided into groups. These groups will compete, not only in their games but in their reforesta- ton work. This pleases them, it was stated, as they want to compete in this work with the white men.
 The way the Indians Chiefs view the reforestation work is real challenge to the white man. Though the white man in camp does not have his permanent abode on the land he improves, he should feel that his work is a contribution to the commonweal in which his interests ought always to come second only to his immediate vel fare. With the increasing com plexity of our civilization, it is difficult to determine where our social and industrial interests begin and end.

tributary eventually will provide big tonnage for the road-and the quicker they are made accessible at low cost the better.
 Alaska has tremendous assets in her fur industry, in her reindeer, III her salteries, in her big game and in her vast scenic charms. The tourist industry alone in Alaska will be developed some day to such an extent it will draw tens of thou sands of people annually-and the territory is destined in time to be- come the nations great summer recreation region and playground one away from the torrid and sun baked conditions of the mid-con- tinent.
 Transportation Essential
 To open all these assets to their maximum, transportation is essen tlal. The airplane needs aids. More radio stations and weather reports, more and better landing fields and seaplane and other bases are needed llgnt now.
 Alaska likewise needs more high ways. She needs local roads and she needs the Pacific Yukon inter- national highway to connect this vast northern empire with the ptates-and make it possible for people to come into the region by LII all overland route.
 Army and naval air sQuadrons are needed in this country. Alaska les nearer to the orient than any american possession and is the most vulnerable and exposed of Jncle Sans possessions. The army squadrons who may be called upon some day to defend this region should have training and experience ln this region. It will cost no more to base air squadrons in Anchorage and other northern centers than to have them playing around some far southern center where they learn nothing new and right now are of little service.
 Empire Without a People
 Alaska is an empire without a people. She needs a world of assist ance to help make this land of homes. The territory can support millions of people-as do similar areas in the same latitude in Eu- rope.
 Now is the time for Uncle Sam to rise to an appreciation of the great natural wealth and heritage he has in Alaska and do the es- sential thing-and do it today to hasten the destiny of this most magnificent and largest single ter ana str1pes.-Anchorage Times

ALASKA's NEEDS

While Senator Arthur R. Robin son of the senate territorial con- mittee is in this district, and has been good enough to make the journey of thousands of miles to see the country and learn first hand it's particular needs, and a vast national recovery fund is to be shared by this territory, it is not amiss to say a word as to the needs of Alaska.
 Fishing, the foremost industry of Alaska, needs continued support in the protection and further prop agation of the many species of fish which contribute so vastly to the territorial and national wealth.
 Forestry, one of the greatest po- tential industries of this territory, needs support in it's development. Alaska has one of the greatest for est areas of America. and is cap able of producing a million tons of pulp products in perpetuity, accord ing to experts. Something should be done to give Alaska a chance to place her forest products on the American market where now vast quantities of foreign products are used to the exclusion of the prod ucts of this territory.
 Moc+ Uo1uoh1a Mon
 Mining, one of the greatest of all Alaska's industries, is developed to a mere fraction of possibility. The government can and should mining at this particular time. One specific way to do this would be to provide more highways into min ing areas and increase the geologi- cal service in the territory, and grant more substantial aids to the most valuable man that interior ---------+~---- 'oasoU, dII tUO rare.

CIVILIAN STAFF
FEARS SLASH

Federal employees, particularly
those of the War and Navy de-
partments, are much disturbed
today over reports indicating a
possible attempt in the War De-
partment to substitute enlisted
personnel for clerks under the
Civil Service.
The proposal is not new, but
in view of the present series Of
attacks on Federal employees
salaries, and working conditions
they feel that it presents a more
imminent danger now than has
been the case heretofore.
Large reductions in Army anu
Navy expenditures have been de-
creed during the coming fiscal
year. But it is becoming increas-
ingly evident that President
Roosevelt has no intention of let
ting either Army or Navy decline
in efficiency.
Although ships will be laid up
in rotation, it is planned to build
80 new warships, as a part of
the national public works pro
gram.
