when admitted to statehood:

If anyone concludes that Alas- ka is not ready for statehood be- cause of lack of population, how do they account for the admission to the Union of If states with less population, and of which none even approached Alaska. at the time of admission in production of wealth, or in Alaska's record over the years of always having an enormous balance Of trade in her favor.
 The term Balance of Trade" simply means the difference be- tween what is shipped out of the country and what is brought in exports and imports. It is the difference between them, espe- cially that difference by which exports exceed imports, that very specifically measures atro- phied potential power to support additional population in the Ter ritory under the present system.
 During the 20-year period end- ing in 1883, exports exceeded im- ports by over 600 million dollars an average of g million dol lars per year. In 1936 the figure jumped to 37 million, but has been somewhat less the past sev- eral years. Since the major pro- ducts of the Territory are fish and gold under our present econ- omy, and because the total pro- duction is marketed in the states and the major portion of the monetary returns remain in the states, Alaska's imports must nec- essarily be restricted and her population down.
 Self-sufficiency of locality has always been a large factor in ac- complaining settlement by the pioneer and his family. In other early American pioneering this occurred not only in his power to endure privation, but also in his genius to achieve his needs,

sumption that people can govern themselves better than they can be governed by anyone else. It Is also automatic of the American system that the largest possible powers of self-government should be exercised by every commun- ity and political subdivision, leav- ing to the supreme government al authority only that part of the government that effects the whole state, or the whole nation.
 The people of Alaska have been and are, thoroughly imbued with the principle of local self govern ment. Alaskans are as truly American as the people of any state in the Union, and this in- cludeS the native Indians, Aleuts and Eskimos. They are all equally devoted and loyal to our govern ment and to the high principles on which it is established.
 One of the main arguments, on the part of those who oppose statehood for Alaska is lack of population. This does not appear to be logical because Alaska, 1940 census, has population of 71,911, which is greater than that of 10 states when they were taken into the Union. The population of these 10 states at the time of their admission, all less than Alaska's population, were:

analysis it will depend largely upon the attitude of the people of Alaska themselves.
 It Is unthinkable to me-a na- tive son of Alaska-that the peo- pie of this great Territory of ours will be so indifferent concerning this most vital question, that they will permit those who oppose Statehood-a numerically small group-to steal all the thunder and make all the noise on the subject. For if this happens, Con- gress may well hesitate, upon the grounds that we do not know ourselves what we want.
 It must be recognized that if the people of Alaska desire state hood, and I believe they do, this is the most opportune time to come out strong for it.. Never be- fore has the Territory been so spotlighted by national attention never before has public interest been focused upon Alaska as at present. These conditions and this opportunity may never come again in the life time of the pres ent generation.
 It is then a most serious queS- tion and deserves every citizens serious consideration and active participation, for it involves not only your own destiny but also the destiny of your children and your children's children.
 In discussing statehood with various persons, it is we'll to con sider the background from which their statements emanate. There is reason to believe that repre- sentatives of large corporations will propagandize against and try to defeat the proposition, as they fear any upset of conditions under which they are prospering Also they contemplate with dis taste any new taxes state gov ernment might levy. Corpora tions in Alaska, especially those operating under absentee owner ship, believe they can fare bet ter dealing with bureaus rather than with AlaSkans.
 There is also reason to suspect that office holders under the present system might be opposed to statehood for fear that the the change to a state government would abolish their jobs. Intense opposition can be expected from the many Federal Bureaus, who really run Alaska, for with state hood they will lose much of their powers.
 It should be relatively easy for the great majority of Alaskans to agree about statehood for Alaska. The whole form and fabric of our American system of free government is based upon the as-

Editors Note:-Mr. Lyng has served three terms in the Alaska Legislature; was speaker of the House of Representatives in the 1889 session, and is now serving his second four-year term as a member of Alaska's Board of Public Welfare.)
 Two bills requesting statehood for Alaska are now before the national Congress-one in the Senate, sponsored by Senators Langer of North Dakota and Nc 'Carran of Nevada, the other in troduced into the House of Rep resentatives by Alaska's Dele- gate to Congress, Anthony J. Di- mond.

think it is agreed by all that Alaska's population, other than the armed services, greatly ex- ceeds the census figures of 1940 those in position to make a reliable estimate place it in ex- cess of 100000. If this be so, we can add four more states to the above listed 10, who had less than Alaska's present population

Meigs Back From
Trip To Coast

Robert M Meigs got back Satur-
day from Long Beach, Los Angeles
and vicinity where he visited friends
and relatives.
In Long Beach he nan across
Leonard Edwards of this city who
is in the coast guard and at Los
Angeles he visited Mr. and Mrs.
John l.. Williams, Jr., Julia Beam
Farrior), former residents of this
county.
At Fort Macarthur, San Pedro,
he saw his brother. Bill, who was
recently inducted into the army and
whose wife and her mother have
moved from Evanston, Ill, to San
Jose, Calf. Bill Meigs has been at
the Macarthur army reception cen
ter seven weeks and delay in trans
ferring him from there to another
camp is due to the war department
finding it necessary to have special
clothing made for him. He is 6
feet 5 inches in height and weighs
220 pounds.

Stay At Home
Best Way To
Spend Summer

1t is the season for vacation sug-
gestions and the Office of War In
formation makes this one:
"If you wish to make the best
possible use of your time off this
summer-if you want to wiring all
the relaxation and pleasure you can
out of that two weeks away from
the grind-stay at home"
It's advice follows a survey of the
nations travel conditions.
1t found railroads and bus lines
pleading with people-in paid ad-
vertising space-to avoid travelling
whenever possible
The time it takes to go anywhere
by bus is 80 per cent greater than
before, many obsolescent busseS
have been put into service, fewer
trains are arriving and leaving on
time, and it's far from uncommon
for crowds Of civilians to be left
standing on the platform while the
bus or train pulls out jammed with
priority-armed servicemen.
Why not get acquainted with your
own community, the OWL sug-
gests, instead of looking for greener
vacation pastures far afield?

Between The
Book Ends
owen FARRELL CLARK

Last Friday evening I attended
the Nogales Theater because the
picture, The Moon and Sixpence,
was based on a novel which I had
read more than a decade ago. My
reactions to this grim story showed
me that I have changed quite a bit
in ten years.
Back in the early thirties I fol-
lowed the story with interest and
enthusiasm. Strickland's unconven-
tional procedure of breaking family
ties and following life of his own
with emphasis on genius for
painting seemed perfectly logical to
me-
Friday evening, however, I found
that the years have made me a
little more critical than I was in
the old days. I now feel that
Strickland should have been criti-
cized more severely for leaving his
children who were merely in the
adolescent period of life and GER
tainly needed his guidance His
feeling that his wife cared nothing
for him makes me wonder whether
he actually did everything in his
power to make a success of mar
riage. His ruthless conduct with
regard to women turned to tender
ness and love in Tahiti. It is at
once apparent that he needed un-
derstanding, and that his simple
native wife understood one of the
great truths which his English wife
had apparently ignored.
The story seems to emphasize the
half truth that genius is. law unto
itself. Geniuses evidently find it
difficult to live with themselves so
how can anyone else be expected to
live very happily with them. This,
of couse, is rubbish. Luckily the
Bohemian type Of flarnboyant gen.
ius seems to be on the Wane. The
quiet type of man who lives pro-
sale family life may go down
through the ages as q Wordsworth
has done. The Byrons, Gaugins,
and all the rest make good dramatic
copy but 7 doubt if any set Of
paintings is worth a set Of broken
lives.
1 reserve my greatest admiration
for the man who lives as courteous
ly and as intellectually as he can.
We all have certain responsibilities
