FOR ALASKA'S PROTECTION

The State of Washington has Just refused to

States moving in the direction, In these
dangerous times, to rid themselves of unAmerican
radicals and parasites. America is awake-after the
object lesson of Norway-to the danger of a fifth
column, and things which we looked on a year ago
with amused tolerance are recognized as mimi
cal to national welfare
Alaska could we'll afford to do little house
cleaning at this time. Without doubt there is
small number of ignorant and misguided people
among who would sell out the Territory and the
nation for some foreign system which they consider
to be superior They are wrong, and 80 percent of
the people know they wrong, but they are dam
gerous because they are fanatics
One blow which Alaska should strike for free
dom from such influences is to that the pending
Territorial Department of Labor bill before the
Legislature has inserted it amendment to
prevent members OF representatives fellow travel
ers of any subversive organization from serving
the office or on the STAFF Of the Commissioner of
Labor The honest laboring man, the good Ameri-
can. will not be hurt by such a provision; rather
his rights will be safeguaIded by 1t.
Let those who oppose such amendment stand
revealed as foes Of the American workngman and
stooges OF forces seeking he destruction of this
nation.

Principal arguments he will make

will point out that although mines
