audience called for exposure of the
practice and policy of racial dis
elimination against non-white peo-
Piles by the South African govern
ment.
Robson and other speakers
stressed the fact that there was in
creasing evidence of a repetition of
the game of playing politics with
the worlds hungry people, as Her.
bert Hoover did after World War
l."
"The food needs of Africa, In
dia and the liberated countries of
Europe must be satisfied. The Afri-
can must not be the forgotten man
in the distribution of food relief"
said Mr.. Robson.
In discussing the present plight
of the native people of South Afri-
ca, he declared that the basic cause
of hunger there as we'll as in other
parts of the world was lack of
democracy.
''Let the colonial peoples and sub
ject peoples of Africa govern them
Selves" he said, "and they will no
longer suffer from landlessness
and labor exploitation which are
the reasons for their present starva-
ton"
Other speakers, including John
Howard Lawson, famous novelist
and screen writer; Lena Horne,
noted singer; Mrs. Charlotte A.
Bass, publisher of the California
Eagle, and John Pittman, manag-
ing editor of the Peoples Daily
World, joined in condemning the
present widespread attacks upon
the Soviet Union, the only world
power they declared, which stands
four-square for independence of all
colonial peoples.
Also among the speakers, was DR..
Max Yergen, executive director of
the council, who flew out to Los
Angeles from New York for the
DR.. Yergen gave detail
ed picture of the systematic oppres-
sion of the black man in South At
rica, as he observed it during his
many years of work in that country.
He stressed the fact that this op-
preston was the established gov
ernment policy, relegating the
eight million Africans to a condi-
tion of chronic starvation and pow
erty.
DR.. Yergen declared that it was
essential for progressive Ameri-
cans to be aware and fight against
the fascist threat represented by
South Africa, just as they oppose
the fascist regimes in Argentina
and Spain"

of funds to relieve famine distress

SAME GROUP FOUGHT
 MOVE FOR TERRITORY

It has been said that in addi- tion to the absentee corporate interests the only group which opposes statehood in Alaska is the sourpuss branch of the sourdough family" While this undoubtedly is too harsh die tum, a spectacle for wonder is the manner in which some Alas kans have always reflected, as from a mirror, the attitudes of h eir out-of-territory associa- tions. It is a little difficult now to understand how anyone could have opposed the organization of territorial government. At the time this forward step was be- ing offered in the early 1900's, the home rule movement took the form of debates, held first at Skagway, then at other Pan handle towns and Nome, on the subject: Resolved that terri IOIld1 1O1ll1 OI SCNCI1l1lAShI "1A be beneficial to Alaska" It is recorded that:
 If debate were held at a meeting of a commercial club, the verdict was often nega- tive; if at a public mass meet ing, more frequently affirma- tive.
 A few years later when con- gressional committee V sit e d Alaska to judge the sentiment for territorial government,
 The Juneau Chamber of
 Commerce took a vote upon territorial government in the
 presence of the junketers. It
 resulted in a tie, broken by
 the chairman in opposition to
 organization.
 There are always "good sound men" about to point out req son why this is not the time to take forward step. If their eau tious counsels had prevailed, men would still be wearing the

sulting the wishes of these h g h ly organized combina- tions. The effect of their in- terference has been constantly eVid ent in the home rule movement.
 The most perpleXing type of influence at Washington was that of the lobby, which was of two kinds chiefly, the com mercial and the sectional. In the former, not less than six large corporations were represented, all eager to be heard on questions of interest to them z. The Alaska lobby then acquired the characteris- tics it has retained to the pres ent time The members are seldom all-year-round resi- dents of Alaska, but they are always pecuniarily interested, and often carry credentials from one chamber of com merce or another In addi- ton to these lobbyists there were the chamber of com merce interests of the Pacific Coast, to which their northern customers made frequent ap- peals wherein Alaskan asso- citations of a like character joined.

FAULTS OF PRESENT
 SYSTEM ON INCREASE

But the President of the Unit ed States has not the power to make Alaska a state. Congress, however forcefulIy it might be inclined in that direction, cannot make Alaska a state. Only the people of Alaska can do that.
 Taking a long view, statehood for Alaska probably is inevit- able. The question, therefore, is one of whether the immediate future-the next five years-is the time. That is the question which the people of Alaska will answer by their votes in Octo- ber's election. It seems certain that all of the many faults which statehood is designed to cure will become progressively worse until Alaska is admitted to full standing in the Union. This, then, would seem to be none too early for Alaska to begin mak- ing progress toward the ulti- mate goal.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1946-09-06

nounced themselves as in favoI of statehood, and have elected these men in preference to oth- CTS who were opposed or who were silent or half-hearted on the statehood issue. The TerriA torial Legislature has adopted memorials requesting statehood, and statehood blanks have been included in the party platforms of political conventions. The congressional group which visit ed Alaska last year reported:
 During the committees visit
 to Alaska much was said con-
 cerning statehood for the Ter
 ritOry and many outstanding
 citizens announced themselves
 as being in favor of it. It was
 ascertained that a majority of
 the citizens of Alaska have
 an unlimited faith in it's fu-
 ture and strongly favor state
 hood at an early date.
 Tony Dimond has said that:
 I firmly believe that when
 they understand what is in- volved, 90 per cent of the real ly permanent residents of
 Alaska will demand statehood
 so forcefully as not to be de-
 nied.
 The decision rests with thd~ people of Alaska. The Depart ment of the Interior has gone on record with the statement that statehood is the only form of self-government appropriate to Alaska, and Alaska is equip ped for statehood" But the De partmeut of the interior cannot make Alaska a state. President Truman has announced he would welcome Alaska's entry into the Union as a state whenever the Territory is ready for the step.

skins of animals and huddling in caves.
 Several years ago, then Dele gate Dimond foresaw the align ment of forces which would oc eur when statehood became ar issue before the people of Alas ka. At that time he issued the warning:
 Nor should we Alaskans be deflected from carrying out our own considered judgment by the shortsighted, and, in many cases, the not entirely unselfish arguments which are bound to be made against the proposal for statehood by those who, on account of circum- stances or position, have no really vital interest in the de- velopment of Alaska. Such persons are largely included in two categories; first, those who, although owning and op- erating considerable property in Alaska, do not reside in the Territory and, therefore, are quite naturally only desirous of speedily getting as much out of Alaska as they can law fully obtain, and second, those who represent various agencies of the federal government, few of them really residents of Alaska, and who equally nat urallv are more concerned with maintaining their own authority and power than they are in building the State of Alaska as an abode for the future citizens of the Terri tory.
 Every change upon every possible argument n d ob- jection to statehood will be rung by individuals or groups of the two classes and by their representatives in Alaska who are so closely associated with them economically or socially as to be subject to their con- trol or influence. We should take care to guard ourselves against being unduIy swayed by the arguments of those who really have no concern for Alaska but who in opposing statehood are simply trying to maintain their own position or status of authority or for profit.
 This is not to argue that ther, do not exist in Alaska many per sons of sincere conviction Wht are opposed to statehood. Thi would hardly be a democracy i all thought alike

|MULLOY UPSET BY
GRANT IN TOURNEY

TAMPA, Fla, Jan. 12.-(P)-Bry.
an M. "Bitsy'' Grant, Atlanta's lit
tie veteran who is making a come
back after four years in the army,
pulled another upset today 10 land
in the finals of the Dixie tennis
tournam emit
Grant whipped heavily-favored
Gardner Mulloy of Miami, 81, 6-3,
4-6, rs. That second straight up
set victory sent the 35-year-old
Georgian into tomorrow's finals
against Billy Talbert Of Cincinnati.
Top-sended Talbert won as he
pleased from Frank Gurnsey of
Orlando, Fla, 81, 81, 6-3.
Grant, who recently retired
from tennis and then changed his
mind to try this annual tourney,
reached the semi-finals by a smash
ing via over Alejo Russell, Argen-
tine champion, who figured to have
little trouble with the Georgian.
There was never much doubt
over Grants superiority against
Mulloy after he had rushed through
the first and second sets.
In crushing Guernsey, Talbert
never made mistake. He was hit
ting his shots with tremendous
depth off both his forehand and his
cross court forehand shots caught
the usually steady guernsey flat
footed dozens of times.
