BARTLETT TO TAKE
 MORE ACTIVE PART
New Governor Is Strong Booster for Inferndfion-
 al Highway 10 North

Ernest Gruening became Cover nor of Alaska at TAO o'clock last night when the former newspaper man and Washington official took his oath of office at the Federal Building office he will occupy.
 A group of about 40 officials and friends looked on as Notary Pulp lie M. E. Monagle administered the oath to pr. Gruening. The cere- mony was broadcast.
 Jack Hellenthal acted as Mas ter of Ceremonies for the inaugu- ration. He introduced Gov. John w. Troy, who in brief message of greeting to his successor said he was glad to be relieved of the responsibility of the office.
 Inaugural Address
 Gov. Gruening, remarking that he preferred not to talk too much at the beginning of his admins tration but to make his actions speak for him, made clear in his address an intention to bring about better integration of the activi- ties of Federal agencies in AL aska.
 Many of Alaska's problems orig mate in Washington, fact some of the people of the Territory do not appreciate, Coy. Gruening said. He pointed out that the position of Alaska as part of the nation is unique in that Federal agencies are in a position of tremendous importance and power here
 The Forest Service. he said has administration over practically all of Southeast Alaska; some 99 per- cent of the land in the Territory is owned by the Federal Govern ment; the Office of Indian Affairs has the direct responsibility for half the population of Alaska, and the Bureau of Fisheries controls the Territory's most important ae- tivity. economically and from the standpoint of permanent industry.
 Working Together
 "It is tremendously important Gov. Gruening said, that the Gov ernment integrate so far as is pos sible the activities of these various agencies, to name but few. One of the things hope to do is make closer liaison between the Bu' reaus in Washington"
 A wish for further self-govern- ment is a natural and proper as piration for the people Of Alaska. the new Governor said. but point ed out that the decision in this matter must come from Congress, which body will not act until 1t is convinced the Territory is ready for a greater degree of autonomy.
 Gov. Gruening predicted that Congress will be pretty slow in extending statehood to the first non-contiguous Territory" and said that even when it does. it may be Hawaii instead of Alaska that will be chosen. Hawaii has requisites Alaska has not, said the man who as Director of the Division of Ter ritories and Island Possessions has a close understanding of both units. The islands have popula- ton of 100000 and complete fin ancial -sufficiency. Hawaii pays

GOVERNMENT WILL HOLD ON

Where will this extra cotton come from? Of course, the government could release some of it's own cotton to prevent an upward price squeeze but the government has been try ing to get the market to climb and IS not likely to push it down, not in 1940.
 The cotton will have to come from supplies held by the growers. Of course, they don't actually hold it.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1939-12-06
THERE'S TOO MUCH COTTON
 BUT U. S. PRICES MAY RISE

They turned it over to the govern ment as security for loans. Last year these loans amounted to 8.3 cents a pound To get their cotton back out the growers will have to pay the 8.3 cents pound plus a
 carrying storage charge, which makes tthe total 89 cents pound.

COURAGE BoLSTERED

HELSINKI, Dec. 6-Her courage bolstered by official announcements of successes against the Russians, Finland today honored the heroes of her independence, just g years ago, while her fighters for freedom fought back an increasing tide of invaders from Russia.
 The Government has issued a communique stating 2,000 Russian soldiers have been captured since the invasion began last Thursday and 64 Russian tanks have been destroyed.
 Eight tanks were destroyed yes- terday and many prisoners taken in the Karelian Isthmus fighting.
 The Finnish spokesman empha- sized that Russian losses are very heavy compared to those Of Fin land.
 Watch for Raids
 After a heavy snow storm this morning, the skies cleared early this afternoon and a few residents of deserted Helsinki went about their tasks with eyes watching the skies for raids.
 Members of the United States diplomatic Corps were received at the Presidential Palace to inscribe their names on the Independence Day Gold Book.
 It is estimated that only about 5O,0O0 of Helsinki's quarter of a million population remain in the city and they are working harder than ever for defense.
