The Council SIT forth the view
that the Territorial and National
interests are not, and should not
be, regarded as either antagonistic
or irreconcilable. Whatever differ
ences exist should not be serious,
and could be harmonized through
sincere and friendly cooperation.
The Alaska Planning Council is
not connected with the National Re-
sources Committee, except to the
extent of certain limited coopera-
tive technical assistance, or the AL
aska Resources Committee 1t had

the Territorial Legislature and its
members were appointed by the

 Arrange Settlement

Troy to represent the Territory in the disupute between the salmon packers and unions regarding can ming operations in Alaska this sum- mer. The Senator is leaving Ketehi- kan for Seattle on the Princess Norah today Just before departing, he told the Associated Press, My only purpose is to point out to both sides the tremendous importance oi the industry in providing revenues to the Territorial Treasury and in providing employment to Alaskans."
 Stressing the crisis which the Ter ritory faces if the salmon industry does not operate this season, Gov. Troy also sent a message to Interior Secretary Harold L. Ickes urging that department to do everything possible to bring about settlement.
 Wires Department
 The Governor wired:
 Tt is very important that the dis pute between fishermen and cperat- ors in the Alaska Salmon fisheries controversy at Seattle be settled without a strike. The salmon fish, cries involve some 25,000 fishemen and 40 to 50 million dollars worth of commerce. If the canning opera tions are suspended on account Of the strike approximately a million and a half of the. Territorial in- come from taxes would be cut off The Department of Labor has al- ready appointed a mediator and it is very important that the media ton may be successful. Anything your department can do to achieve the desired results would be greatly appreciated by us.'

Government Forced to SayH
 With Calico to Keep Indians
 From Warpath; Cheap Price

from now on, just as the treaty says. Many of them are successful farmers but the calico business has become an occasion, for a spe- cial visit to town.
 Papa Indian collects the calico - it usually amounts to six or eight yards per Indian. He wraps is around his shoulders like a Mexican sarape and struts the town with it. Afterward he gives it to mama for dress for herself and the little girls.
 Many years ago band of Onei- da Indians left New York and mi- grated to Wisconsin. With them went the right to $1,700 worth of calico But long since the Wiscon- sin branch gave up the idea of ac- cepting calico. They take cash and salt
 Evelyn Pierce, a Seneca Indian girl, works in the Bureau of h. dian Affairs here. She won't take cash or salt. She insists on calico and the government has to give it to her. Lately it has become lots of fun and the photographers make a circus of it.

By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, April T. The Government has succeeded in blow ing under many of it's treaties with the Indians but the job of keeping the Six Nations and Senecas off the warpath costs it many yards of bright calico every year.
 George Washington was Presi- dent when on November II, 1794. the new republic signed treaty by which it agreed to provide an- nually $4,500 worth of calico for distribution among the Senecas, Alleghenies, Oneidas, Tonawan- das, Tuscaroras, Onandages and Cayugas, then living mostly in northern New York The Indians, in return, were simply to be good.
 Evidently it seemed cheap price to pay then but there is no way of stopping the thing. Every year the government goes into northern New York in late sum- mer to deliver several yards of calico to each of about 5000 h. dians in and around Salamanca.
