"The Life OF Christ as Depicted
in Etchings by Rembrandt" an ex-
hibition placed on view at the Ma
tional Gallery Of Art in connection
with the Warrington Cathedral
Festival, will remain through June.
These little prints Of New Testa-
ment subjects are drawn from the
Rosenwald collection. They are ex-
cellent impressions Of places Rem
brandt apparently etched for him.
self, and OF which he did not print
many impressions.
His Interpretation of Christis life
is in strong contrast to that Of
many earlier masters, particularly
those Of the italian Renaissance,
who treated it dramatically as well
as beautifully, and very. often, took
it out Of the realm of human hap
penings. Rembrandt, on the con-
trary, visualized Christ as primarily
a human being, albeit nobler than
His contemporaries. The Dutch
master furthermore had the re-
straint characteristic of his race,
and achieved many effects Of deep
significance by understatement.
Even his interpretations Of super
natural subject matter have q nat
uralness that makes one feel, This
is the way 1t probably happened.
In the "Annunciation to the Shep-
herds" for instance, he depicted
startled men and cattle running
panic stricken from the binding
brilliance OF the angelic host.
Rembfandt's gift for setting forth
character is seen In many minor
figures in these little etchings: The
supposedly learned men In Christ
Disputing With the Doctors" the
disciples watching and whispering
in the background of Christ and
the Woman of Samaria," the many
different types listening to Christ
Preaching" (reproduceO.
Some of his finest realizations are
the "Crucifixion," Descent From
the Cross" and "Entombment" etch-
ings. Christ Carried to the Tomb, y
for example, Is q small. unpreten-
tious print at first glance. But it
Is profoundly tragic, the more 50
because the little procession of those
who loved Him, is so silent and re-
served. Grief Is expressed in q
bowed head, the gesture Of hand.
rather than in the violent express
sions of anguish depicted by some
masters.
In the course of three centuries,
it would seem as though everything
has been said about Rembrandt. But
so long as his work endures, 1t will
appear fresh and new to every be-
holder. One cannot see it too often.

should prove comprehensive and
satisfying to many visitors. These
works represent the artists reaction
to the subjects, which strike a re.
sponsive chord in persons who have
experienced similar places and
scenes. "Bagpipes in the Morning. :"
for instance, rings true to every one
who has seen Scottish regiment on
the march, with kits swinging and
pipes skirling. Pleasure Garden" ;"
done in soft emerald greens, with
flashes Of orange, reminds one of
outdoor restaurants with a greenish
light filtering through thick foliage.
"Can-Can" and THE City at Eve
ming" from the Phillips Gallery's
collection, are others I liked. OF
course, Mr.. Catch does not spell any
thing out for the beholder; the artist
merely hints or whispers, and the
visitor must supply what is not
actually there.
Louis Schanker's water colors con-
stitute a different proposition en-
tirely. Compared to the gracious
color schemes of Mr.. Gatch's paint
ings, Mr.. Schanker's slate grays, to-
bacco browns, or dull maroon, which
are fields for his patterns or designs
in crossed black lines, seem mono
chomatic There are other forms, Of
course: some that resemble scarabs,
as well as conventionalized leaves
and branches. Scratched lines rag
gedly revealing the paper through
the paint do not add enough to the
design, in my opinion, to compen-
safe for the worn appearance they
produce.
Both artists are in their early 40s
and achieved recognition under the
Government art projects . decade
ago. Mr.. Catch is native Of Balti-
more.

The Wrangell sentinel., 1946-04-19

by those who, on account Of cir cumstances or position, have no really vital interest in the develop ment of Alaska Such persons are largely included in two eategOries:
 first, those who, although owning and operating considerable proper ty in Alaska, do not reside in the Territory and, therefore are qnite naturally only desirous of speedily getting as much out of Alaska as they can lawfully obtain, and sec ond, those who represent various agencies of the Federal govel IT, ment. few of them really residents of Alaska, and who equally natuY- ally are more concerned with main taining their own authority and power than they are in building the State of Alaska as an abode for the future citizens Of the Ter ritory Every change upon every possible argument and objection to statehood will be rung by individ- uals or groups of the two classes and by their representatives in AL aska who are so closely associated with them economically or social ly as to be subject to their control Tor influence. We should take care to guard ourselves against being unduly swayed by the arguments of those who really have no con- cern for Alaska but who in OppOs- ing statehood are simply trying 10 maintain their own position or status of authority or of profit,
 Now that does not mean that any Alaskan has the slightest feel ing of hostility toward either the "absentee landlords" of Alaska or toward those who are charged
The Wrangell sentinel., 1946-04-19

eellent beginning, and when the rigid restrictions on travel control
 between the States and Alaska are set aside and people can once more freely come to the Territory, there is ample evidence that with tue advent of peace. Alaska will have steady increase in population. This tendency was marked even during the 1930's. There is sound 1eason to believe it will be acceler- ated when the war is ended. Under state government managed by the people of Alaska who know AL aska it will be much easier and much more to the advantage of ev- eryone to aid, and in a measur, control the stream of new people who are likely to come to Alaska for permanent residence at the earliest practicable moment. There fore. I am confident that in pro yiding statehood for Alaska we are building not only for ourselves but a sound economy for posterity.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1946-04-19
Political Advantapns

The political advantages of statehood, inevitably embracing economic benefits, as compared with territorial status are simply immense. Alaska at the present time has no vote in the Congress of the United States That is the outstanding fact which should be remembered every day by every citizen of Alaska. When statehood comes, Alaska will have two vot- ing members in the U. S. Senate and at least one in the House of Representatives, more in the House when population shall warrant
 With statehood, Alaska is no longer a beggar at the national table but a recognized member of the household, eligible to share in all the benefits and all the respon- abilities of the nation At present, what we desire for Alaska of the national government We must ask for respectfully, almost with That in hand but when statehood comes we shall have the dignified and powerful position of an equal among equals The results of this improved status, as affects all types of legislation are incalcul- able. To have that place alone will be more than worth all the addi- tional taxes which We must pay for the support of state govern ment.
 Nor should we Alaskans be de- flected from carrying out our own considered judgment by the short sighted, and, in many cases, the not entirely unselfish arguments which are bound to be made a. gainst the proposal for statehood
The Wrangell sentinel., 1946-04-19

with Federal duties with respect to the Territory. Practically all AL askans have welcomed the invest ment of capital in the Territory which has come from the States, Tor even from foreign nations. and there has been not even the slight est disposition to be anything but fair and just as concerns such non- resident owners and their invest men's Nor is there any feeling of personal opposition to the repre- 'sentatives of the Federal depart ments and agencies who have % much to do with many of the re- sources and the industrial opera tions of the Territory, frequently quite the reverse. But We are now considering the long-range future of Alaska and We should be lack ing in foresight and common sense if we did not realize that while there are notable exceptions, talk ing them as a whole, the "absentee ownersp and the representatives of Federal bureaus are not likely ever to have the vision of Alaska as a .sOverign state.
 It may be said in conclusion that whether Alaska has statehood or not largely if not entirely, de- pends upon the attitude of the people of Alaska themselves. If our citizens of Alaska really and ard ently desire statehood and express themselves vigorously enough on the subject it seems highly prob able-in my judgment all but cer- tain-that Congress will not long delay the granting. But If the peo- pie of Alaska are indifferent about it or if they permit the opposition,
The Wrangell sentinel., 1946-04-19

although numerically insignificant, 10 make all the noise on the sub ject, then Congress may we'll he's itate upon the ground that we do not know ourselves what We want. And so I hope the citizens of AL aska will not only give this ques- tion of statehood the serious thought which it deserves, serious because 1t involves their own des- tiny and the destiny of their child .Ten's children, and because 1t gives them an opportunity to con- trol that destiny, but that they will express their opinion strongly in one fashion or another. Of course, if the people do not want statehood. that is the end of 1t for the present I firmly believe that when they understand what is in- volyed, 90 per cent of the really permanent residents of Alaska will demand statehood so forcefully as not to be denied
