Veterans To Be Aided in
 Small Business in Alaska

The Smaller War Plants corpora tion, headed by Maury Maverick. has started work on a sweeping program for the establishment of new small businesses throughout Alaska largely for veterans 0I this war, Maverick informed Delegate Bartlett this week.
 Maverick. who visited Alaska last year, proposes to provide opportuni- ties for war veterans. merchant seamen and others who have parti- cipated in the war. together with civilians. to establish business in a large number of categories, utilz- ing financial aids which have al. ready been made available to the veterans through the GI bill and other recent legislation.
 Some new congressional legisla- tion might be required. Maverick indicated. but the main part of his preliminary survey deals with the large number of new enterprises which can be set up not only in central Alaska and the Aleutians. but also in southeastern Alaska.
 Mavericks program is understood

to be part Of the far-reaching fed eral plan for the settlement of vet erans in Alaska after the war. This was promised by President Roose- welt in his Bremerton speech of last Maverick. however. con fined his work entirely to the field Of small business over which his or ganization has jurisdiction. It is presumed that Mavericks program will be coordinated with the pro jects of various other federal ageu- cies.
 Maverick advised Delegate Bart lett that he was going ahead with his program as soon as he had com pleted a realistic survey" which would cover all the necessary meas ures for selecting the veterans tO participate in the program, and for surveying .on the spot the oppor- tunities which may be available in the different regions in Alaska.

:" # # Editor Wrangell Sentinel:
 In the debate last night between Charles Sadler and me, something was said about efforts to merge the ANB with the AFL. The enclosed letter from our Grand Secretary as of May 15, 1914, will throw some light on the situation.
 Workers have the freedom of choice between four groups in the coming election which will prOba- bly be ordered by the NLRB. 1) for the CIO 9 for AFL 8 for ANB A to reject all.
 As between the CIO and the AFL-ANB. the CIO UCAPAWA (now called the Food, Tobacco, Agricultural and Allied Workers of America" or FTAAWA) the CIO now represents a nonresident can nery crew of 60% of all cannery workers, and would win on a terri torial wide basis.
 Alaskans must realize this fact that if the CIO should win, the non resident controlled union would be bound to maintain its Seattle mem bership. Conrad Espe testified that CIO informs all canneries what quota" of their nonresident mem bers the cannery must take. In Sit ka the quota is 32 (even the CIO lost control there three years agol !, In Excursion Inlet the quota is 56
 Informed parties realize that the top officers of the AFL do not value their Alaska locals because the ex- pense is greater than the income. That is why the AFL was not rep resented in the Seattle hearing.

ON THE WASHINGTON FRONT
By JACK sTINNETT

WAsHINGTON-S p eeehes s on Capitol Hill are a dime a dozen and most of them aren't worth it.
 But when Sen. Arthur H. Van denberg CR.-Mich.) took the floor the other day, he hadn't spoken three paragraphs before his col leagues and those in the press, ra- dlo and public galleries knew that here was a speech with far-reaeh- ing implications; one Of these mod ern rarities in the chambers oi congress, a speech that could well have an effect on the destiny of the United States and its now so vital foreign relations.
 When the big Michigander sets his mind to it, he can be one or the most eloquent and logical men in the senate. On this occasion, there was no doubt that he had set his mind to it.
 Here, I must unfairly but neces- sarily strip away that eloQuence and logic and say simply that Sen. Van denberg called for an immediate and fortnight alliance of the Unit ed Nations, with the primary and ayoWed objective of keeping the Axis out of piracy for keeps.
 He pleaded for an end to dal1- ance and distrust among the Allied nations and an end to quibbling here at home over minor details of that alliance.
 Even in bare essentials, there was much more to the speech than can be briefed here. It must have been heard or read in full text to be ap- preciated.
 The point is that here was man. identified with the pre-Peari Harbor group of so-called isolation ists. taking the lead in pleading for our immediate participation in a United Nations treaty alliance to defeat the Axis and establish now the machinery, empowered to act with force, if necessary, in seeing that the peace that follows is maln- tained
 There is one significant factor that hasn't been played upon Vandenberg is not only republi- can, he is one of the outstanding leaders of his party nationally or foreign relations. Since the days ot Mackinac island, he has been lead ing even the conservative wing oi the party away from a policy oi nonintervention in world affairs The elections helped him nightly
 More and more, observers art asking here today: Is it possible the republicans are going to take the ball and run with it toward th' goal of world peace? That objee' tive doesn't belong to any party but the leaders of neither party nor our Allies have done more thar lose ground for us in that direction lately. Perhaps it will be differeni now.

Walkie-talkies for all are going

-
Don't say You weren't warned!
The news Is depressing What
America needs Is less talk, not
more.
The basic American idea used to
be that a man should never sound
off until sure he Is right. The rule
Of the hour Is to say it now and
verify it later.
The war brought the menace Of
the atomic bomb, but the threat OF
the walkie-talkie In everyday life
will run a close second. It adds
fuel to the gas bags. Thousands of
people who have had to, be some
what quiet will now be able to throw
their voices all over the fields and
hills.
1t Is declared that the walkie-
talkie will be a boon to farmers,
hunters, truck drivers, etc. The
truck driver already is too busy lis
tening to the radio to keep his mind
on his driving, without being given
the opportunity to phone while in
motion.
And as for the hunters, they used
to go into the woods for silence. Are
they now to go into them for argu-
ment and rebuttal?
We tremble at the influence of the
walkie-talkie in farm life. The farm
ers have been pretty taciturn lot.
Now the farmer in the dell, the
milkmaid and Little Bo Peep will
all be SO busy jabbering away at one
another that not COW will get
