the Territory adequate water transportation remains unsolYed
 Prom our years of experience We think We know the number. kind and class of ships needed, and We have submitted our ideas and recommendations to the pro- per government agencies and com mittees.
 Under present unsatisfactory op- erating conditions and high cost o2 ship construction the Alaska Steamship Company cannot assume the heavy financial burden neees- sary to rehabilitate it's war-torn and war-depleted fleet to the ex- tent required to give Alaska satis- factory steamer service The en- tire problem is bigger than the AL aska Steamship Company and we think it unfair to ask the people oi Alaska to assume all the bur den. The value of the Territory of Alaska to our national existence will never be demonstrated more clearly than in World War II. Therefore, 1t is our humble opin- ion Alaska's water transportation problem is a major problem of the United States of America and should be solved by our national government
 We believe the problem is crit ical as it effects every resident and every industry and every form of commercial and business life in Alaska. The prosperity of the Ter ritory is at stake and it's future lies in decisions that should be made soon in Washington. D. C.
 This letter is undoubtedly too long, but your interest in Alaska, as evidenced by your appearance in the transportation hearing in Juneau, prompted me to try to ex- plain some of the details of the transportation problem of Alaska from the Alaska Steamship Comp 1ny's point of view"

COTTON PRICES
 EXPECTED TO ADVANCE

JUNEAU-InGreases allowed in the price of basic cotton textiles, as required in the new Price Con- trol Law. Will eventually force al increase Tn cotton clothing prices of to per cent, according to announcements Of the National OFA office in Washington.
 Here in Alaska consumers nay not feel the effect of this upward swing in cotton goods prices quite as soon as they will in the States. Due to the advance seasonal buy ing practices of mos; Alaskan mer- chants, stocks on hand which were purchased prior to this change in the cotton market should provide a shopping time lag before very much of the higher priced mer- chandise starts coming into the Territory.

4 letter received this week by Mayor Doris Barnes from L. W. Baker, Vice-President and General Manager of the Alaska Steamship Company. gives in detail some of the hardships and handicaps the steamship companies serving Al aska are up against The letter was read yesterday before the Wrangell Chamber Of Commerce which had sent requests to various companies and to the War Shipping Admin s tration asking more frequent sery- ice for Southeastern Alaska towns.
 Mir. Baker says;
 Few people realize the Alaska steamship Company began it's con- tribution to the war effort as early as September 1889, which is the approximate time Siems Drake Puget Sound started it's contract work for the Navy base at Sitka, Kodiak and later Dutch Harbor and other points in the Aleutians. Our gradual departure from form CT methods of operations began in the fall, winter and spring Of 1939- 1940-the pressure was on and we tried to live up to what the Navy expected and demanded from us in the way of service and schedules. Later the Army demands for sery- ice to the Westward further com plicated our efforts to give ade- quate commercial service.
 Immediately after Pearl Harbor and during January. February March and April of 1922 a large percentage of our ships, both freight and passenger. handled sol i'd loads for the military and we were alternately arguing, pleading and explaining to Army and Navy officials that the civilian and com mercial life of Alaska was in jeop- ardy if we gave the military all the space on our vessels. Despite the fact we were at war, we ds1 our very best to save space on some of our sailings for the neces- sities of life for the residents Of Alaska.
 "All during this pressure period or from the fall of 1899 until the spring of 1922 with ever increas- ing demands from the military and civilians and commercial interests for more and more space to the Westward, We tried desperately not to lose our contacts in South eastern Alaska. Over a period Of years we felt We had given Wraa- gell, Petersburg, Sitka, Haines and Skagway regular and dependable service, especially during the seasonal-peak periods. We were eventually forced to the realiza- tion we could not do all that We would have liked to have done, particularly after we lost the SS Mt. Mckinley and later the SS Dellwood, both passenger carriers, and we gradually began missing calls at the above-named South eastern ports. We knew this meth cd of operating was detrimental to the future best interests of she Alaska Steamship Company in Southeastern Alaska, but we felt f our duty to consider the trans portation picture of the Territory as a whole, from Ketchikan Q

Letter From Baker
 Describes Handicaps
 Of Alaska S.S. Service

Kotzebue and all points between. All Southeastern ports had the NOrthland Transportation Comp any and the Alaska Transporta- tion Company and some Southeast ern ports were served by the Caa- adian Pacific and the Canadian National steamers The Alaska Steamship Company was the only line serving Southwestern Alaska.
 During the month of May, 1922 practically all oceangoing vessels flying the American flag. includ- ing the entire fleets of the three regular Alaska operators. were re quisitioned for use by the United States Government through the War Shipping Administration. In most cases the owners of requlsi- toned ships were made general agents by the War Shipping Ad ministration and additional war built liberty and victory ships were assigned to such general a. gents as operators for the account of the War Shipping Administra- tion.
 "We quickly grew from a small compact organization, operating IT ships to and from Alaska. to a mai or operator of 56 vessels, sailing to all parts of the world. We had steamers on the Atlantic, the Gulf and the Pacific. We were given definite instructions by VISA on each vessel on each route We were told what ships would sail to che South Pacific, to the Mediterran- can, to the North Atlantic, etc. We were assigned certain ships for the various Alaska routes and we were very definitely instructed to give Southeastern Alaska ports the very absolute minimum amount Of space, both freight and passenger. All of our space was badly needed to the Westward the Northlapd Transportation Company and the Alaska Transportation Company and the Canadian lines would have to take care of Southeastern Alas ka
 This program hurt and is still hurting the Alaska Steamship Company in loss of good will and prestige in Southeastern Alaska But frankly speaking, We do not see how it could have been differ ent. With the great preponderance of all our defense installations in Southwestern Alaska, with a scar city of ships for our global war, it is our opinion the VISA made a common sense decision when they instructed us to save space for Southwestern Alaska. True. we lost something, and the people of Wrangell, Petersburg, Sitk a Haines and Skagway also lost something, but then almost every one loses something in a world at war. And sometimes someore gains. In this particular instance our competitors gained whatever contacts and prestige We lost :n Southeastern Alaska
 Our service to Southeastern AL aska really began it's spasmodic trend in the spring of 1942. The Kennecott Copper Corporation sold the Alaska Steamship Company to Skinner and Eddy Corporation in August, 1914. The facts therefore clearly indicate that the present owners of the Alaska Steamship Company should not be held re- sponsible for schedule deficiencies in effect two years prior to their obtaining control of the Company.

Will it become Flaming Youth

about juvenile delinquency .
AFTER the First World War we had an era
IA of Flaming Youth" After this war we
seem to have only the embers.
Remember the ebullent, wild spirit of the
youth of the Twenties? The fappers? The
jazz age? Teen-agers who drove cars as if
every street were the Indianapolis speedway?
Girls with skirts above their knees and boyish
bobs? Kids who smoked too early and came
home too late?
Another war has come and gone. But
the youth in the backwash Of it is not
flaming, not surfeited with fun and frolic.
For though the children are the same, the
scene is vastly changed. Instead of world of
great plans, boundless hopes, expanding oppor-
tunities, heaps of work and heaps of play we
are giving the postwar youth of World War II

They broadcast to youth the world around,
and as their firm young voices came over the
