local concern, have been subject to approval or disapproYal by Govern ors appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Sen ate of the United States,
 Tn accordance with the general policy of this Government. I recon mend to the Congress that it con sider as soon as possible an amend ment of the Organic law of Puerto Rico to permit the people Of Puerto Rico to elect their own Governor, and to redefine the functions and powers of the Fedora Government and the government of Puerto Rico, respectively.
 "The recommendations of this committee will be promptly submit ted to the Congress for its consider ation"
 It will be noted that in this mes sage the President says it has long been the policy of Che Government of the United States progressively to reinforce the machinery of self government in it's Territories and Island Possessions. There is now op- portunity to reinforce the machin- cry of self-government in Alaska by granting to the people of Alaska the right to elect their own Gov ernor. It must be plain to everyone that the people of Alaska are at least as well qualified to elect their Governor as are the people of Puer- to Rico to elect their Governor.
 Pursuant to custom. the bill has been referred to the Secretary of the Interior for an expression of his views with relation thereto. It seems impossible thar the Secretary can do anything except favor the election of the Governor of Alaska because the President has already expressed himself vigorously on the principle involved.
 The bill is so drawn as to leave all possible authority in the Ter

ritory Legislature; for example, un- der the bill as drafted, the Legisla- ture may change the salary of the Governor, also provide for the elee- ton of a Lfeutenant-Governor. fix his salary and prescribe the duties of his office. If no Lieutenant-Goy- ernor is provided Tor by the Legis- lature. then the Legislature has the authority to decide who shall ex- ercise the duties or the Governor when the Governor may be absent from the Territory, or if the Gov ernor shall die or resign or become incapable of performing the duties of the office The usual provisions with respect to impeachment are covered in the bill Further proVi- sion is made that the Governors House at Juneau ana the grounds surrounding the same shall be con- Yeyed to the Territory as the res idence of the elected Governor.
 The qualifications required for the Governor under the bill are identical with those required for the Delegate in Congress from Alas la

Statehood For Alaska

While the people of Alaska have talked about statehood wishfully for many years, it is now evident that the time is at hand when the proposal should be seriously consid- cred As long ago as 194O I sug- gested that the Territorial Legis- Iature should call for a referendum on the subject, but a majority of the House rejected the proposal On April 2, 1943, Senator Langer of North Dakota, for himself and for Senator McCarran or Nevada, in- troduced in the Senate a bill, S. 951, to provide for the admission of Al- aska into the Union. The bill con tains the usual features, providing for the election of delegates and the holding of a convention in the Territory to draft a Constitution and State government for the pro- posed State. The bin contains one
The Wrangell sentinel., 1943-05-07

provision that is especially worthy of note: the second subdivision of Section reads as follows:
 "The State of Alaska shall re- tain all the public property. va cant and unappropriated lands ly- ing within It's limits now eeded. transferred, and in possession Of the United States, except such as are in the possession Of and used by a department of the United States, and may dispose of the same as the said State may direct"
 The granting to the Territory of all the vacant and unappropriated public domain would give the new State a virtually boundless source of natural wealth to begin with.
 The sentiment of Congerss con cerning statehood for Alaska, so far as can be discerned at the present time, is distinctly favorable. Al most everything depends upon the expressed wishes of the residents of the Territory.
 While it does not seem probable that Alaska will be set up as a state until the termination of war. there is more than fair llkihood that Alaska can be a state just as soon after the war as the people of the Territory really want 1t to be. While statehood would undoubtedly result in increased taxation, all the information at hand indicates that such increase would not be oppres- siye or burdensome. Alaska. as a State, would enjoy sU many advan- tages through voting representa- tion in the House and voting repre- sentation of two members Of the Senate from Alaska that the addit- ional burdens involved in statehood would be relatively of little conse- quence.
 The origin of this particular piece of Legislation seems to have been in the Legislature of the State of Nevada. Tn the Congressional Re cord of March 10, page 1920, there was inserted a copy of a Joint Re- solution of the Nevada Legislature requesting statehood Tor Alaska. Tn it's preamble the Resolution recites

Election of Governor of Alaska
j. / < ,. < : t 2 5 2 2 ,


 While no one can accurately forecast what will happen to any bin introduced In Congress. the pas sage of the bill, H. R. 2462, to provide for the election Of the Gov ernor of Alaska. which I introduced in the House of Representative on April 12, appears at this time to be probable. The Territorial Leg isltaure, by vote almost unanimous adopted House Joint Memorial No. g, recommending 'the Congress of the United States to consider leg islatiOn, as soon as possible, grant ing unto the people of this Terri tory the right to elect their own Governor" That Memorial was ap- proved by Governor Gruening on March 23. 1943.
 Previously, on March g, 1943, the President had sent to Congress a message recommending that the Organic Law of Puerto Rico be so amended as to provide for the cleo tiOn of the Governor Of Puerto Rico. The Presidents message is so important, not only with respect to the election of the Governor of Puerto Rico, but with respect to the election of the Governor of AI- aska, that it is quoted in full as follows:
 Several months ago the Gov ernor of Puerto Rico recommended that the Organic Law of Puerto Rico be amended so as to permit the pep- pie of Puerto Rico to elect their own Governor. This recommends tion was brought to ne by the Sec retary of the Interior with his ap- proyal. The Governors suggestion has been under consideration since that time.
 Tt has long been the policy of the Government of the United States progressively to reinforce the machinery of self-goyernment in it's Territories and island possessions.
 Puerto Rico has universal suf- frage and an elective legislature which considers and enacts mea- sures governing its internal affairs. Laws enacted by it's legislature, however, including laws of purely

Take My Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Handbook for Office Workers.

@. Please advise whether common
usage has made correct the spelling
of PERCENT as one word. I am
constantly being corrected for SPELL
ing it as two words.
A. Most dictionaries show only
"per cent" Merriam Webster s
lists percent" as second choice.
recommend "per cent" since it is a
shortening Of the Latin per centum.
@. Should Cancelled be spelled
with one or two Is"?
A. First choice: Cancelled, cancel
ing, travelled travelling. Second
choice: cancelled, cancelling, trav-
elled, travelling.
@. Is the hyphen correct in the
French phrase "fait-accompli"?
A. None of my dictionaries,
French or English, shows the hy-
phen. Correct: fait accompli The
phrase means "an irrevocable ac-
complishment." The IN" has the
French nasal sound. Say: fesh-ta-
kaw (n)-PLEE.
@. Is this sentence correct, "OuI
plant is larger than any plant in
the State?
A. No, for your plant is included
in ANY plant in the State" and q
thing cannot be larger than itself.
Better say: Our plant is the largest
in the State. Or: Our plant Is
larger than any other in the State.
@. The office has almost come to
