Alaska Doesn't '' Expect Statehood In Near Future"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25-P)- Alaska will eventually demand and should have statehood, but few residents expect it in the near future, Representative Johnson said. "Sourdoughs and oldtime residents do not favor statehood now or spending Alaskan money for roads, hospitals and schools"
 The chairman of the Interior Alp p ropriations subcommittee, which recently returned from an inspection trip said "but newcom- CTS to Alaska are generally for statehood as soon as possible. Any of them will tell you there will be several hundred thousand more people in Alaska in few years," while rich minerals and other re- sources are in the Territory, they are spending "very little" of their taxes to improve the area.
 One told reporter "some places such as Matanuska and the Homer area, where land is fertile and the climate similar to some parts of northern United States, where there is limited amount of homesteading, but the Territory generally, except for mining, fishing and trapping, does not offer any great possibilities to returning CT Joes." He believes the Territory has been brought much closer to the United States and will have an influx of tourists because of wartime construction on the Alaska highway and mod ern airfields.

SHALL WE EFT JAPAN OFF EASY?

A. (Bremerton Sun)
 We are hearing occasionally that the word unconditional should be stricken out of the term unconditional surren- der" as applied to Japan.
 Those who make this suggestion argue that Japan should not be reduced to total defeat, because then we should lose a valuable bulwark against growing China and an ambitious Russia.
 Why we should fear a strong and pros porous China is hard to understand. On the contrary, our dreams of 400, ,OOO- 900 customers" cannot come true until China's standard of living has been raised A developed, industrialized China may we'll prove the worlds greatest mar ket place, contributing to the well-being of all other nations.
 AS for Russia, we do not know that she will ever bother us. Japan has done so. We should be making poor gamble in exchanging possible aggressor for a certain one

EMPLOYMENT FIRST


 in mills, mines and shops, on rail- roads and in industry generally are to be congratulated upon President Truman's choice of Fred M. Vinson, the new Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. His undertaking is enormous, del icate and vital. But it is my belief that nobody else in government is quite as we'll qualified to handle the job as Vinson.
 The new cabinet member knows taxes. Things he has said already prove that he is keenly aware of two things that are currently the most important facts about taxes, CD High taxes are necessary, now and for some time to come. @ Wrongly devised taxes in the United States can wreck the fi- nancial structure of the entire world in few months. Dark Ages might visit the earth again.
 "A Dependable Thing
 The yankee dollar" is one o1 few known quantities left in the financial world. While this condi- ton lasts, there is a way for weak and depleted countries to gain in. dustrial and then financial strength. The dollar will remain good so long as Uncle Sam keeps meeting his obligations promptly fulfilling promises and paying the interest on his stupendous nation al debt.
 Our debt is so big and Ameri- ca's moral obligations are so ex. acting that taxes must be high af- ter the war, much higher than they have ever been in peaceful years before. Government has nc way to get money except by tax ing its citizens. Consequently the citizens have to be prosperous. There must be full employment, plenty of jobs at good wages otherwise not enough taxes.
 Holding Our Ground
 The world is relying on the solvency of America, on the soundness of the dollar, and it all depends on jobs. MT. Vinson said: Taxes should be levied in such a wya that they have the least harmful effect on the expansion of business investment and the creation of jobs because produc- tive employment is the source ot |. . revenue which the govern ment collect from taxes"
 The Secretary's eye was not on taxes alone. In a recent published report he made it clear that pro. ductive employment is the foun. dation of Americas living stand. ards highest in the world), the source of all income and the basis of prosperity for business and az. riculture. We may be assured that Vinson will always do his bes- to prevent ruination of jobs b, taxing business to a standstill.
 "A Rational Economy

west. Japan, after surrender, will be in- famed with an abiding resentment.
 To rely upon sworn enemy to help us curb a present and probable friend, one of the three chief pillars of world se- curity, would seem to be the last word in folly.
 But" say our businessmen who used to trade with the Orient, we want Jap an after the war to be able to buy from us. If you destroy Japan we will have no business" ss
 How about business with the rest of the Orient? We must in the ,lofg run choose between business with Japan and business with Asia. g
 This is true because an unchecked Jap an would certainly resume her program of monopolizing Asiatic trade. American business was rapidly being squeezed out before the war There could be no objec- .ion to this if it were based upon fair competition. But Japan used wage slav- cry, government subsidy and military force to achieve her ends.
 To let Japan off easy would be to per- petuate this system. Japan should have a fair chance to make decent living but there is no road to this goal except by way of complete defeat and interna- tional control maintained long enough to teach her how to live and let live
