LA GUARDIA AND ITALY

New York's busy little mayor Fiorello La Guardia, isn't saying anything about it, but ne nas turn ed down President Roosevelt's re- quest that he fly to Rome, survey the Italian political situation for the U s. Government.
 La Guardia long has been ex- tremely anxious to go to Italy However, he flatly won't take the job unless he can return to Italy wearing a U. s. uniform The Little Flower was major in the last war, has been itching to get into uniform again, but Secretary of War Stimson turned him down saying he was doing a better job for the City of New York
 Meanwhile, La Guardia has stop ped broadcasting to Italy on Sun day nights Little was heard about it on this side of the ocean, but observers returning from Italy re- port that La Guardia is the great est single American hero of the Italian people, probably was the most widely listened-to speaker or the Allied radio in any enemy country during this war.

ANOTHER GRAB"

Armed with an opinion made to order by solicitor in the Department of the Interior the panzer units of Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes are on the march again in Alaska It isn't enough that about 90 percent of the land in Alaska is squeezed in the elbow of the long from Washington, D. C. Steps now are being taken to grasp also for the Interior Department acting as the guardian for its Indian wards in Alaska choicest of choice fishing waters
 Hearings are scheduled next month beginning few days after Territorial eecon) in Southeast en Alaska for the purpose of considering petitions by Indians who claim aboriginal rights" certain fish ing grounds the lakes and streams emptying into such waters, the unpatented lands drained thereby.
 In the spring of 1922 Nathan Margod, solicitor for the Department of the Interior, was asked by Ickes to submit opinion on whether or not Alaskan Indians had aboriginal rights to fishing grounds purported to have been used by their ancestors and whether not Alaskan fishermen and operators had been trespassing such fishing acting under Interior Department regulations.
 Margod, as is the custom today, naturally sub mtted the opinion that wanted took the view that the natives of Alaska have proprietary interest in their ancestral fishing grounds and that as a matter of law they have legal right to reposses their ancient sites.
 Further developments demonstrate the present trend to place administrative law by regulation over and above legislative law court review Instead of advising the Indian petitioners to file claim in the courts, as such is the in William L. Paul vs. Pacific American Fisheries the Secretary set up a regulation which provides for the filing of such claims with the Department of the Interior and a farce review by the Department of the Interior.
 Why the Department does not prefer to settle the controversy by direct to the courts is some thing that is hard to understand.
 The Department is progressing administratively, ic cr,ak ,t11Iec to
 It may be well to believe that after all even Alaska is a part of America (athough sometimes wonder and that final determination of the aboriginal claims will from the courts of the land. But many Alaskan legal minds believe that it may prove difficult to get hearing before the courts on the merits of such Suits to challenge the validity of the Secretarys regulations to set aside his orders may be treated by the courts in the nature of attempted judicial review of administrative action In that event those injured by the reguations-the operators the fishermen, all Alaskans eventually in directly-would find themselves without remedy.

At long last when we're all popped up for big scale postwar development comes the "Ickes Blight to again wither hopes of capitalizing natural resources.
 Under the excuse of ancestral Indian rights he proposes extend and retain his long distance bu- reaucratic rule over the industrial heart of South eastern Alaska The ocaled fishing rights include mining timber and all resources Patented claims alone exempted
 For over 30 years Aaskans have been trying to get yearly payrolls from paper and pulp mills Our main Alaska drawback has been seasorial employment and high freight rates because of lack of tonnage going south Near realization several occasions for paper mills was checked by an unseen hand" There almost seemed to be hoodoo against making use of our timber

 But one thing is certan-Ickes reservations will kill off any such enterprises Our forests will continue to in prmeval isolation and rot and die of old age In such an event, the whole set-up would have to be changed and development will be retarded an- other 100 years The Natives supposed beneficaries, will have sold their birthright for mess of pottage, to become merely tenant nursings under the iron rule of absentee landordism.

claims filed with the Department mean here are a few that have not yet been given publicity
 Jake Cropley for and on behalf of himself and members of the Tribes of the Juneau Tlingit Alaska Indian Geographical Division claiming the area of Berners Bay Aux Bay, Gastineau Channel Saginaw Channel and tributary lakes bays streams and rivers
 Jimmie Fox, claiming all of Taku Inlet and the tributary and surrounding watershed for hlm- self and the Tribes of Douglas Tlingit Indians
 Others claim the two Pyramid Packing Company traps in Salisbury Sound and the waters of the area around the PAF trap at Pt. Colpoys, and so forth.
 Originally the Department led interested parties to believe that action would be delayed at least until after the war One would think that such matters could wait until then considering the many other things that the conflict has delayed in the interests of victory.
 However, this move would have disruptng in fuence on the Territory at any time Already it seems to have ended plan to give Southeastern Alaska a postwar pulp paper mill.
 And the sad thing about the whole business is that the Indians being used only as bait" on the hook of the Department of the Interior. The Department considers the natives wards and it is the guardian Any choice sites traps or canneries seized would in all probability be operated by the Department through the Indian Office,
 By no means if aboriginal rights of any kind are recognized in this matter, should other rights be denied Why if some Indian could claim that his ancestors beached their where Juneau's docks now stand couldn't this Indian petition and receive all of the present dock area?
 Why if some Indian should claim, and prove ac- cording to Interior Department standards of proof that his ancestor once occupied a hut where your house now stands why could he not be awarded your land and house?
 The answer is there really is limit to such claims once one is recognized and made to stick The whole idea is insane.

in Allan but tie your camel. Mill ed to have prepared broad plan for future peace machinery, not too far out of line with British-Am- erican ideas.
 They are reported to believe: CD that the four big powers must be responsible for keeping the peace (regardless of Governor Dewey i; CD that the Big Four should com prise a council similar to the Lea gue's Council; (3) that the smaller nations should be members of an assembly holding meetings for con- sultation t4, that the Big Four should maintain a punitive air force which could strike at any country which tried to upset the peace of the world
 Chief debate probably will hinge on an international police force. Roosevelt has come out against such a force. The Democratic plat form at Chicago straddled the is sue. Wendell Willkie is for such a force.
 Instead of an international po- lice force, Roosevelt proposes that the Big Four should keep their own individual armies and navies and use them to subdue an aggressor nation. Only trouble is that, when the French and some British pro- posed doing this against Germany when Hitler invaded the Rhineland in 1886, the British would not use their army to support the French. Shortly thereafter, Hitler overran Europe.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compep'
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23

Benefic aspects dominate today which has the presage of many stirring events affecting civilians and men in uniform.
 HEART AND HO M E: This should be a happy date for those who await news from battlefronts. General rejoicing over a victory will stir the people to new resolu- tions of helpfulness in war work. The evening should be a time for nationwide thankfulness.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Increase in the cost of Winter clothing is forecast. Autumn shoppers may expect higher prices for modish apparel This means that men as we'll as women will discover that the usual budget is inadequate to meet this years demands upon it. NATIONAL IS s UES: Growing sentiment in favor of a new yer sion of the League of Nations or world organization for peace and justice is forecast, but it will not gain much momentum until after [ the national election, according to the seers.
 INTERNATIONAL A F F A R s : With Uranus activating altruism and the recognition of universal i brotherhood, conferences and ne- gotiations representing the aims of i the United Nations will end favor ably, even though explosive ele- ments exist. Neptune in the sign of Libra is responsible for harmony Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of rather smooth sailing but there should be avoidance of arguments regarding political aims or commitments.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be sensitive and senti- mental even though they are men, tally alert. Financial good luck is indicated.
