PART II.

Three fundamental things must be done before Alaska can become a state:
 U. An Act of Congress enab- ling the people of Alaska to form a constitution and state govern ment, and to be admitted into the Union on an equal footing with the original states
 @. The forming of a Sta'e Con stitution in accordance with American principles of govern ment by constitutional conven-' tion of elected Alaskans in ses- sion for that purpose.
 (3). Ratification of such consti- tuition by at least a majority of the qualified voters of Alaska.
 The Enabling Act referred to above would specify the terms of admission 10 statehood-the assist ance to be given the state by the federal government-and the re- spective rights and obligations, Federal and state, within the new state. The following indicates few of the provisions of an Enab- ling Act:
 
 (a>. A fund provided by Con- gross for defraying the expenses of electing delegates to consti- tutional convention to form constitution.
 Cb). Provide that the constitu- ton formed by elected delegates to constitutional convention must be ratified or rejected at

These words that Mir. Ickes uses parallel the language of the di- rectives issued during the ill-fated Taft administrators. a.swhareby all coal and oil lands In Alaska were withdrawn from entry, and over ifo0 coal land claimants dispos- sessed-their property and invest nents confiscated. It is true that the leasing system was instituted but he meager development of these resources under this system speaks for itself--there just isn't any.
 Mir. Ickes has assiduously tried for a number of years to have Congress enact legislation with drawing all gold-bearing lands from acquisition by stalking and patenting, placing this valuable portion of Alaska's present econ- omy also under the nefarious leas- ing system. If this whim of Mir. Ickes Is enacted into law the bells will again begin to toll heralding the end of gold mining in the Ter ritory.
 When Mir. Ickes states that "the national resources of Alaska were purchased by the United States from Russia for the benefit of the entire people of the United States and uses this language as an objection to statehood for Alaska, on the grounds that Alas ka should not be permitted to own and control these resources, he is talking nonsense.
 May I ask MT. Iekes whose money paid for the vast rich en- pire bought from France and known as the Louisiana Pur- chase?' There has been, for many years number of thickly popu- lated and highly productive states once Territories, functioning ir that sector of the United States

DEWEY STAND
ON FEPC is
UNDER FIR E

NEW YORK - Gov. Thomas z
Dewey and the Republican National
Committee still aren't straight on
whether or not the COP nominee Is
for" a permanent Fair Employment
Practice Committee.
In the version Of his Seattle
speech issued by Republican ma
tional headquarters prior to the
address September 10. Dewey heat
! edly attacked FEPC as part OF "a
towering confusion of agencies
that has marked a serious back
ward step for the working people
OF the country"
Yet. when Dewey read the ad-
dress. FEPC was not included in
this attack.
Last Minute Insertion
Also. there was a significant last
minute insertion In the speech. II
was one sentece, I'VE shall estab-

Dewey's call for permanent
FEPC did not appear in mimeo-
graphed copies of the speech dis
triouted by Republican headquar-
tiers prior to the address and still
available in the COP headquarters

According to James Wechsler.
PM correspondent aboard the Dew

nee's press representatives made
changes in the original version lust
before Dewey's delivery OF the ad-
dress. They eliminated FEPC from
the list OF agencies attacked and
added the sentence asking that the
committee be placed on a perma-
nent basis.
Confusing Answer
Questioned on distribution OF the
original version. Republican Ma
tional Committee spokesman gave
confused and contradictory answers.
One member Of the publicity staff
asserted that only. the press serv-
ices had received copies, but an
other staff member and a recep-
zionist both declared that the YER
sion attacking FEPC had been sent
out by the thousands.
Political observers agreed that
this was the second time in the
campaign that there has been am.
biguity and confusion in Dewey's
stand on a permanent FEPC. The
first came at his Chicago press con-
ference following acceptance OF the
