E.L. Bartlett Will Oppose
 Reservations

Before leaving Juneau two weeks ago. Delegate-Elect E. L. BaIelett issued a statement regarding his stand on the Indian claims Since it is a matter of vital interest 10 all AIaskans what attitude their rep resenta1iYe in Congress will take on the question. we quote excerpts from this statement.
 Prior to the general election in Alaska on September 12 I was con- stantly invited. in fact urged, To denounce the claims and everything and everyone having 10 do with them. For two very valid reasons l declined these pressing invitations. First. because l believed and still believe the injection of the issue as a matter of partisan politics was entirely meaningless. could not af- feet that issue in any sense what soeyer and would only stir up emo ton without any useful result. Sec ond, because no hearings had been held then. the facts available were insufficient to support anything but a snap judgment and to come out for either side then would have been similar to arriving at a de- cision in a law case without con- sideration of the evidence.
 Now hearings have been held. The general objectiyes are better known. IL is possible to arrive at a conclusion based on a sufficient body of facts to be supported ade- quately.
 As your Delegate in Congress I intend to do these things:
 First: Oppose, with all the vigor at my command and for reasons to be stated presently, creation Of a wholesale system of reservations for exclusive use or benefit of the native race in southeastern CT any other part of Alaska.
 Second: Support to the very best of my ability the taking of those claims into a competent court of Jurisdiction so that the Indian peO- pie may receive just compensation

Then there would be money avail able for rehabilitation of native vil- lages-truIy a desperate needs then there would be money for medical services on the scale essential if di- sease is to be conquereds then there would be money for economic reha- Utilization. That, in my judgment, is the proper manner to settle this matter. It is the manner endorsed by many prominent native leaders who see disaster lying ahead for their race if they become reserva- ton people.
 This would permit. and in truth encourage, a common solidarity as between the whites and the natives. It would make it possible to lift eventually the shelsering hand of the federal government from the native people.
 One thing further One very im- portant thing. Defend or oppose the fish trap as you will there can be no gainsaying it is an instrument of special privilege He who pos sesses a trap possesses something more important in fishing than in dusCry or brains. There are hun dreds of traps in Alaska. Most of them are owned by non-residents. But out of all these few indeed are owned by Indians.
 There is a cooperative commun- ity cannery at Hydaburg owned by Indians. It has no trap. I do not be- lieYe it would be such a dreadful thing to give the Hydaburg Indians a trap location. I do not believe t would be a dreadful thing to give similar associations of Indians else where trap locations. They are en- titled to them so long as the trap remains in use. A few traps out of Ihe almost 500 in Alaska should nc be considered an excessive number for the Indian population.
 l have presented. my views at con siderable length because of the i'm portance Of this issue.

AWar Correspondent
 Speaks

High up u the worlds tallest sk- .G e., The Empire State Budding in New York, we at ScheEley have a mems luncheon club. It is called the First Name Club. Each week we have a guest speaker. Some great men have talked to us on many varied sub jects during tEe Iast few years.
 But I am thinking of our last Thursdays meeting, and l am thinking of how strong was my wish that the room where we met might have been big enough to have held a vast thTong of people, instead of just a comparatively few members of our luncheon club; and this Is why.
 We had, as our guest, a famed war correspondent ! e has been with the British Amy since a month after Great Britain had en- tered the war. He is an American, and is home on sick leave as he put it. The truth is, an hour after be spoke to us, he was scheduled to receive the award of the Purple Heart. liz had been wounded in action in Normandy.
 l said that l wished that the soom might have been big enough to have held thousands. instead of 8 few. l meant just that. l would have had every man and woman, who Is working in our war plants, present, to hear our guest speaker pay tribute to the part that American materiels played in that great, historic drive, in Brit iany and Normandy.
 And what a lot of renewed in- sLnaLion in our guest s message to the worker who perhaps spends his or Ter days or nights putting in s.Egle nuts or bolts in tanks or lanes or jeeps or gun carriages; a job that seems so monotonous and eroic. But there are no Itninl- D. tdrt jobs. Each Is a great big one or-a big little onel
 From now on, whenever l pass a plant where war work Is going on, whether that plant produces planes, Or slHPs, or guns, or tanks, or jeers, or alcohol for war purposes, O. what not, l am going to think 0 brave men in disastrous retreat f.om Tobruk toward Egypt, be- cause of lack of essential equip inert. Then I shall picture the stir T.. II ga1ions of France-because mdterielA made by American work ers' hands, had arrived in quantity and-in time.
 And if you don't mind, 1 am going to bring up my hand, hum- biy and perhaps awkwardly-in a respectful salute.

lin whatever amount they have been damaged. Third. Support. with a very IreaI conviction as to the desirabil- Iity thereof. the granting of tral sites in selected localities so thelf economic lot may be Dettered. Simple justice, entirely aside from flaws. calls for and should compel equal treatment for all classes of citizens. That is a principle We most l assuredIy aim at constantly even if We fall short of attainment. Be cause we do fall short does not l constitute valid reason for turning upon one class at this time and placing H under serious economic handicap by administrative ruling.
 Estab ishment of reservations over such a broad expanse of cOuu- try and over the bordering ocean where settlement both of natives and whites has proceeded for gen erations according to an entirely different principle would be a de- parture from established American procedure as unique as it would be unavoidable.
 Let Us not overlook the certainty that bitter antagonisms would be aroused. Where they would lead no man can foretell and I, for one, care to speculate as little as pos sible on that feature.
 From purely selfish motives alone the white population ought to do everything possible to augment the income of the native people. As it increases, the general, overall in come will increase. That additional money would be spent right here by people who have 10 thought of or desire to take their money Out side.
 We must work together to ac- complish this. It is our duty as Americans. It is our duty as Alas kans. Believing this ardently as l have believed it for years, l am still Of the opinion that the very last way to do so is to set up reserya- tiOns.
 For economic advantages which would accrue in greater or lesser degree, the native would be com pelled to surrender a precious heri- tage. He would become a ward in tn @ typical, generally accepted sense. Likewise, he would soon find that his life would be hinged about with restrictions imposed by gov ernment. For every gain, there would be a double loss.
 There is another way, a better way, to redress whatever wrongs may have been done. That is through presentation of claims for damages to the Court Of Claims or other court of competent jurisdic- tIon. As Delegate I shall stand ready to introduce and the passage o1 whatever legislation may be re- 4uired to get the matter before d court.
 Then. if the court makes an award and Congress passes the nec- essary appropriation bill - as it surely Would-We shall have gained d common objective without the ob- Jectionable features of reservations.

FERRY TALES
By Mariechen

Martins Ferry, Ohio. May Is
1t was happy Marine who greet
ed his friends in Martins Ferry
recently. After u months of fight
ing in the South Pacific, Sergeant
Mike Roth of the Marines got
home for a 80 day furlough. While
in the combat area he contracted
malaria and is still under hospital
supervision even though he is we'll
on the way to recovery. And who
says the Army does not have a
heart When George Roth report
ed that his brother had arrived
home and that they hadn't seen
each other for over three years he
was granted an emergency fur
lough. On May 9Th Mike was mar
ried to Margaret AppIegarth and
they plan to return together to
his base in California at the end
of his furlough.
1t. George Grodth. our Air Pi-
lot Delux. was home on a seven
day leave. Like a bird he hys
through the air with the greatest
of ease.
Another soldier who arrived
home for his furlough is Herman
Wolfe. Tall and straight he stands
now. 1t seems the army took to
streamlining his figure bit.
Mothers Day was a great day
for the kaisers. Herman. returned
home for his first furlough after
completing his Initial training
with the Navy. His brother Frank
of the same branch of service ar
rived home that same day. This
is the first visit in three years.
During that period he has seen
much action in the Pacific theatre
of war. We wager that in the next
80 days all that action will be
transferred to the Kaiser home.
It's been great seeing all of you

that of opportunity to carry on his

THE Special House Committee on
1 Postwar Econmic Policy and
Planning has submitted it's first
report. 1t recommended early ac-
ton in contract termination legis-
lation and instructed Mr.. Walter
Of Pennsylvania, one of its men,
bers, to introduce bill (H.R. 4789)
covering the committees ideas on
the subject. This bill differs from
S. 1718. which passed the Senate
on May 4, in that it seeks to pro-
vide better safeguards to the Gov
ernment and improvements in set
tlement procedure and appeal sys-
tenn.
The House version would make
the Comptroller General a member
of the Contract Settlement Ad-
visory Board and give him authori-
ty to examine all records relative
to termination settlements. It
would also permit the filing of suit
in the courts following action Of
the Appeal Board.
Some idea of the scope of the
committee program on termination
OF contracts can be had from the
report which mentions:
