aboriginal rights, the objective Is still desirable. It seems to me that the start that has been made in the case of Hydaburg can likewise be made in the case of other fishing communities. white as well as na- tive By means of a government loan to be repaid out of proceeds it should be possible for fishing communities to acquire a cannery and the necessary fish traps. l do not believe in exclusive rights, either to lands or to waters, based on race. Such exclusive rights or reserves are a form of discrimina- tion in reverse. They are bound to produce hard feelings. retaliatory measures, to accentuate the racial cleavage which has been diminish ing in Alaska and which we should do our utmost to eliminate com pletely as far as is humanly pos sible.
 We are all Americans and we should strive steadily to make the equality that is presupposed by our basic principles a reality in the political, economic and social fields. feel that a promising start has been made in Alaska and that we should continue working steadily toward the goals that have been cited.
 There are other aspects of eco homie rehabilitation which I feel it my duty to discuss with you. A large part of the revenue which is received each year as a result of fishing and labor in the canneries is dissipated at the end of the sea son in excessive consumption of i- quor. This is not a peculiartty of any one race, group or community While I am not an advocate of total abstinence, believing instead in temperance and in use-in-modera- tion, l must confess 1 have often been shocked at the extent to which liquor in Alaska is abused. So ex- cessiye is this consumption at times in various of your communities that it creates a serious economic an social problem.
 We must explore this vital mat ter together and try to arrive at a policy which offers hope of inn provement and then put that policy into practice, While it is clear to me that you need better tools of production, while it is desirable that you acquire; as l have sought to indicate, the machinery, in the form of canneries and fish traps, to increase your income, this will avail nothing if such larger income and revenue is annually squandered in a long debauch. to the detriment of your physical, mental and moral well-being. If there are those who cannot control their appetites for strong drink, by judicious use, then for them total abstinence is the only solution. While your communities income has not been what it might and ought to be, there has been at times enough to secure for you painted houses, better furnished homes, better clothing, better food. I urge you to take this matter to heart and realize that there can be no real progress for the native peo- pie unless they grapple squarely with this problem wherever it ex- ists.
 I believe that Alaska is on the eve of important developments. They should, if properly appreciat- ed and approached, mean more prosperity, better standards of liy- ing, greater opportunities for all Alaskans. Let us face this future .togather-with hopefulness, with determination and with high re- solve.

Representative Watkins To Pre- sent Document To General Assembly Next Month For Enactment.
COMMITTEES WORK PRAISED

The Council-Manager Charter prepared and proposed by the local Charter Association was given the unanimous endorsement of Towns voters at a special town meeting held Monday evening, December 4.
 The document will now be pre- sented to the state legislature and if enacted by the General Assem- bly, and is later officially ratified will become effective the second Monday in October 1945.
 Although several amendments to the last draft placed in the hands of the electors were proposed at the meeting as result of pre- vious conference with members of the two political parties there was not a dissenting vote to the final recommendation which was pre- sented by Chairman Wilbur c. Stuble of the Charter Committee.
 Following MT. Stauble's explan- ation of the Charter terms, Rev. William D. Barnes, president of the Charter Association, and Dr. Thomas H. Reed, of The Connect icut Expenditure Council, who had acted as consultant to the group, spoke briefly to urge adop- tion which came about after only two questions had been asked from the floor. The meeting adjourned when Ernest E. Carpenter, chair man of the Republican Town Com mittee asked for a rising vote of thanks to the members of the Charter Committee and Dr. Reed.
 Providing what has been termed a forward looking plan of town government by establishing the definite responsibilities of all town officers, the Charter creates a seven member bipartisan coun- cil which shall have the legislative power of the town including that now imposed on the Board of Selectmen, the Board of Finance and the Police Commission.
 It directs the council to appoint Town Manager, a Town Attorney and Tax Collector. It provides for the naming of the Town Clerk to the position of Clerk of the Council and assigns to the latter the responsibility of keeping books on all town accounts. It corrects what has been called "an error in the present set-up" by the pro- vision, ''The town clerk and clerk of the council shall not also hold the office of town treasurer" and
