EXCELLENT PROSPECT FOR A REAL
 ALASKA PLAN

There is reason to believe that the Alaska Plan ming Counc-created by the Territorial Legislature and not to be confused with the national group which submitted so-caled Alaska plan at the first of the year pointing out that there is no pressing need in the States for the development of the Territory has started out on the right premise to prepare con- str,lctive program for the normal development of Alaska.
 The Council is making eight comprehensive studies These include: Land Use Fisheries and Fish cries Industry, Mines and Mining, Transportation and Communications, Recreation and Tourist In- dustly Legislation and Administration Public Works, and Pu.i.o We..~-s ana Education.
 broad field to be sure, but one which must be entered thoroughly and by men who know the Terri tory if any worthwhile program is to be devised. The caliber of the who make up the Council and its Advisory board speaks well for the undertaking at the outset They know Alaska and what it needs for natural development period of years. They are not likely be given to alfbaked Ideas which might do more to retard than to advance. Their vision and experience of years should be of nesmabe value in mapping out the vast problem they have undertaken.
 Theirs is no small task. It is huge one. It is to them that the Territory looks for the spark which will move Alaska forward on a sound basis toward ultimate statehood Their quiet but effective start gives promise that the spark will be forthcoming.

 Will those nations engaged in the dangerous game of empire which can have but one end, states which postulae their national existence on the impossible ca phrases of economic selfsufficency heed his words? It is doubtful
 The peace maker is cramped and frustrated today unless he is willing to pay the ntoerabe price of full concessions to the hreatener and the aggressor Huls words however, serve one purpose that cannot be lost on even the calloused This country has one desire to stay out of It is willing to make every possible concession to attain that end if the others will come halfway.
 As Hull declares, this country lis ready at any time to join the other nations in common effort to bring about a general limitation and reduction of armament" If we arning it is only because we must do to protect ourselves against the potential hostility of those who to make armng the chief reason of national existence. Let them call halt and this country along with Britain and France would do likewise.
 Rearmament can be ended only if the channels of normal economic intercourse are cleared. Hull, if further evidence needed clearly states that this country is ready to do that His reciprocal trade agreements proof positive of the United States desire to order established in the world. The dctatoria countries too could benefit by them figures showing that exports with trade-agree ment countries expanded 43 percent the last year and with non-agreement countries only 32 percent would make interesting reading inside the dictator ships if their press would publish them.
 There are none so blind as the dictators who will not see that their policies are leading to disaster. Every overture of friendship and help reciprocal basis they reject We are willing to deal with them and come to terms out the terms must be mutual.
