is not and cannot be compelled to do SO It is a matter of grace on the part othe United and not of compulsion
 Last week report by the Chamber of Commerce Legislative Committee on the prospect of statehood argued among other things that if Alaska were to become state then the Federal government would probably continue to provide educational facilities for Natives but that there is no assurance that such would be the under statehood. Under the At torney Generals opinion, neither there any assur- now
 In other words, the Federal government, it is to be assumed, is anxious to provide such facilities for Alaskas Native population. Realizing the Territory's inability perform these services the Federal nent pays. This policy would be continued until such time as the Territory will be able the expense regardless of the political status of Alaska
 One thing is certain. It is the duty of the Terri tory to do all it toward providing good education for all of it's children regardless of color.
 Wherever Indian schools maintained by funds provided by the Federal government it is economical for this service to be used In where such schools are not maintained, child should be turned away from a Territorial school in the same area.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER IS

Until evening, adverse aspects rule. After sundown good news may be received from war fronts, but there will be also reports of heavy casualties.
 HEART AND HOME: In this critical month it is imperative that residents of the United States ac- cept cheerfully the fact that the entire fabric of domestic as well as social life is undergoing changes. Under this configuration there may be regrets for the past with all it's luxurieS and pleasant modes of life. Astrologers stress the importance of locking forward and not backward, of walking in faith that through many tribulations a better world is to emerge. This is day for putting out of mind all destructive thoughts.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Again as- trologers forecast vast plan orig mating in Washington for after-the- war financial settlements. Agree ments relative to exports will sup plement those already tried Effort to prevent unfair competition for world markets will be Of first con- sideration. Turning points in the United States financial affairs are indicated. Money crises are fore shadowed and are interpreted to indicate changes in methods of handling the vast resources Of the nation It is probable that Congress will attempt to enforce Government economies that will be advocated by statesmen of knowledge and fore lsight.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: According to certain signs the stress of wal may cause further deviation from purely democratic principles in the Government of the United States

Crop Prediction Boosts
Cincinnati Enquirer

The fact that the United States Department of Agriculture now is able to revise most of it's 1943 crop predictions upward instead of downward reflects credit on the farmers of the nation and on the officials who earlier in the year were careful to set their figures well within the bounds of probability.
 Agricultursts in most sections of the United States faced many problems during the spring planting sea- son. Weather was not the least of these with the warm days coming late; with flood and torrential rains plaguing many areas. The shortage of manpower and equipment possibly the most serious of all deterrens to agricultural production-still is acute ever.
 But in spite of all these things the crops were planted Then Nature, if sorry for her earlier conduct began to smile. In the great wheat-producng districts where moisture often is short gentle rains inspired booming growth The farmers, doubling up in order to do a greater amount of work with fewer and fewer aids, are bringing through great crop.
 There was considerable talk months age about the scarcity" of food which threatened the land. These rumors, to measure were fed by the reports from the Department of Agriculture which confessed in the spring probability of reduced crops The feeling thus engendered possibly inspired more production; any rate it is good to know that we will have more food than we had expected to have. The department of government which is modest and conservative in it's statements inspires more con- dence eventually than that which boasts of too great accomplishments and is proved wrong when the day for reckoning arrives.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1943-09-11
WISE OPINION; NOT PRACTICAL

The recent opinion delivered by Attorney Gen. eral Henry Roden stating that Aaskas Natives, who are citizens pay taxes and are taxed just like any other citizen can be admitted to white schools unless the Territory provides schools equally good for Natives is reasonable opinion
 It is not practical at this time.
 Neither does the Attorney General believe 1t prac- cal to carry out at this time While he emphatically insists upon equal protection under the law he points out that "as a matter of economy it may be wise for children of pure Native blood to continue to seek admttance to the schools conducted under the super vision of the Secretary of the Interior"
 In the schools provided and operated throughout the Territory by the Alaska Office of Indian Affairs the Natives of Alaska receiving far better training than they would receive the Territory obliged to furnish education for all children of the Territory The expense would be prohibitve and the best that could be offered would be far lower standard than is being maintained at present.
 Nevertheless it is good thing for any race which is conscious of discrimination to know its members cannot be kept from attending any school if this il their wish.
 The Attorney General also ably points out tha while the Secretary of the Interior at present ha the power to establish Indian schools in Alaska
