Tn God we trust
 For the blessings which have been ours during the present year we have ample cause to be thank ful.
 our lands have yielded goodly harvest and the toiler in shop and mill received more just return for his labor.
 We have cherished and preserved our democracy.
 We have lived in peace and lm- derstanding with our neighbors and have seen the world escape the inn pending disaster of a general war.
 Tn the time of our fortune it is fitting that we offer prayers for un- fortunate people in other lands who are in dire distress at this our Thanksgiving season.
 Let us remember them in oul families and our churches when or the day appointed we offer. oul thanks to Almighty God. May we by our way of living. merit the con- tinuance of his goodness.

Social Security Taxes, Insurance
 Are Explained
Statement Issued by Com mission Secretary in Con-
 nection with Relief

In an interpretation of the in- surance features and taxes under Social Security which have been the subject of discussion during the re- lief movement here, Walter P. Sharpe, Executive Secretary of the Alaska Unemployment Compensa- tion Commission, today issued the following statement:
 "The recently organized Relief Agency of the City of Juneau has been giving publicity to it's interpre- tationS of the Social Security Act, and, due to the fact that these in terpretations are both incorrect and badly misleading, we believe they should be brought to the attention of the public.
 There are two payroll taxes lev jed under the Social Security Act: One for Old Age Insurance and one for Unemployment Insurance; the former a Federal law, and the lat ter a Territorial Act. These taxes are both levied and collected in the form of insurance. If a man never works, he naturally never builds up any benefits under the law. Certain classes are exempted under both laws. It does not cover all workers
 Your Alaska Legislature has for several years provided for fund for the relief of needy and indigent from general funds of the Terri tory of Alaska This has nothing to do with the Social Security Act and is strictly relief measure. Nowhere in the Social Security Act is there provision for relief other than that covered under the insurance fea- lures of the Act. We do not believe any employer in the Territory of Alaska is so misguided as to believe that these taxes which he is paying into the funds were in any sense a relief project.
 "The publicity as released by the Relief Committee shows very defin- itely that the Committee is not fa- miliar with the Social Security Act either Federal or Territorial, be- cause anyone who gives the Act any study would not believe that the Territorial features which were adopted by the last Legislature should be repealed. If this law were

SEATTLE, Nov. 22.-Alaska's Delegate to Congress, Anthony ]. DimOnd, told the Alaska Committee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, that he does not place much reliance in official Japanese assurances in respect to Japanese fishing in Alaska salmon waters.
 We have nothing to protect us except an agreement with the Japanese Government and just the other day they abro- cated the nine-Power treaty. How long do you suppose it will take them to abrOgate this one if they felt they were in position to do sc-just five min- utes," said the Delegate.
 The Delegate said he will urge at the next Congressional ses- sion the immediate reintroduc- ton of the bill by which the United States will claim juris- diction over the Territorial waters as far as the Continen- tai shelf.
 Delegate DimOnd estimated that the Japanese took 3.0O0,000 salmon from Alaskan waters in 1937 and said that danger of losing the Alaska salmon grounds is not passed, for if i've stand by and let the Japa- nese anchor or fish on our coastal shelf, they will ultimate ly exhaust the salmon and there is no question about it."
 Commenting on the Jewish question, Delegate Dimond told the newsmen: We need people of a different type in Alaska. We have nothing against them but they are essentially merchants and industrial workers. Alaska needs farmers and miners. In crder to settle these people in Alaska it would be necessary to give them powerful financial backing"
