regrets of this war is that we have
not been able to furnish all the nec-

ONLY THE WORTHY REMAIN FRIES

AS the calendar heralds 1914. grim predictions OF Allied
itical and military leaders rank foremost in the minds OF all
0pe. ndIedforty-fOur is the year Of decision. 1t
the year of total war and destruction, death and suffering.
way we'll be the year of military VctOry-thankS to the
, urage Of our fighting men and the American production
I.race.
Armament production in the United States has reached
agge1ing proportions. In November, every five minutes saw
,789, of which 1000 were heavy bOmbers. More than 100000
ar planes have been built since the start Of hOspiities.
Nineteen million tons of merchant ships were launched in
-943, as compared to 100000 tons in 1941.
Naval and s%hipbuilding has OutstIipped the imaginatiOns
Of the widest dreamers. About a dozen aircraft carriers were
turned out in November alone. Warship tonnage in 1911 was
2,132,000. Out of the ashes of Pearl Harbor it rose to five mil
lion tons in 1913, a colossus bent on the destruction of jap
anese aggression and nazi tyranny.
Tanks, guns and supplies are being produced in unbehev-
able quantities.
These things were made possible by the productive genius.
of free enterprise. In the hands of ten million American men.
and their companions in arms, they are Americas answer to
the warped leaders Of Europe and Japan who have challenged
our freedom.
But we have no cause to rejoice. Tens of thousands of our
men must die in 1914 to meet the challenge of the dictators.
Usual year-end speech making and editorial phraSe-maklng are
out of place. The people were told when the wal started they
would have to make sacrifices. They were told this was total
war. And, yet, other than those who have given their men,
no one has so far made an iota of real sacrifice. 1t is not in
the cards for such a condition to continue.
Sometime in the not-tOo-dlStant future we at home are
going to find out what total war means, even though we may
never feel the impact of bombs on our cities.
A pretty good indication of how we are going to find out
esn be seen in the gusts of bitter controversy sweeping through
fae land over strikes, taxes, subsidies and initiation. They are
the prelude to the storm. When it hits in full fury, the test of
sur love of freedom will be upon us.
No person in the nation can ever shut from his mind the
awful vision of the last days of 1913 in which 1000 Marines lay
dead on the beaches of one little South Pacific island. Those
ren died for the right to be free. We at home have yet to
prove worthy of the freedom for which they died.

INDIAN CLAIMS TO BE HEARD IN
 SEATTLE NOVEMBER Is.
BOX $l.oo


 Organi zati ons from SEE. Alaska ane other parts of the Terr 1t ory have been filling protests against the proposed Indian reservat ons to be set up in SEE. Alaska at is sh 2uld the claims as filed be de- clared valid. The hearings on the claims will open in Seattle on Nov ember Is. Protests have been sent in from comme rci al fishing, mining and labor organizations all over the Territory. Official and unofficial organization plan to send repre- esentati to these ses- sions. The fishing Industries are parti cularly concerned since these claims cover much of the best salmon fishing sites.
 The Howa ro Wheeler Act does authorize the Secretary of the Interi CT to set up reservati ons in Ala ska for the Indi ans. Delegate Anthony J. Dimond has stated that the Indi ans can bring suit in Court of Claims to rec over comp ems at 1 on of any property rights of whic they have been deprived unjus t1y. This law, Dimond says, was intended to allow Indians to bring suit in Court for just claims and pos sibly set up small res cry ti ons around Inoian Villages for the prot lection of local residen ts. Evidently then, the law has been stret ched the limit when claims begin to take in l cities like etchikan and Juneau. When Alaska was bought from Rus sia in 1867 for $7, 200, ,OOO. % no though was given to Indian claims or ri ght to any of the territory at that time. In fact, how much of the U .S was bought from the Indians who cert ain1y had original rights to it Now when valuable industries have been developed much concern over the rights of the aboriBines seems to have developed. The loss of $50 GOO, 900. in Indust tries is some- thing for Alaskans to worry about. The issue is really of great import ance not only to SEE. Alaska but to the whole Territory and.
