 The political daance with which Alaska has been treated has been a material factor in retarding it's development. Alaskans have a very limited local autonomy. They have virtually say over the disposition of of their money. They at the mercy of a Government 4000 miles away which owns 98 per cent of the land and has imposed well-nigh impossible restrictions Of Alaska's resources Alaskans likewise held in near-bondage by theif dependence steamship companies. High freight rates only water transportation but also the Government t-owner Alaska railroad make the Terri torys cost of living nearly double that of the United States proper Absentee ownership of canneries and other principal Alaska industries combine with profit eering and long-distance bureaucracy to hinder ex panson.
 Statehood is not of course automatic cure for all that als Alaska State Territory still is not a bonanza for t-rcf-quck schemers It is sparsely settled rugged region of tremendous distances that requires both thorough understanding and strong constitution on the part of those who seek to expoit it. It is patiently clear, however that the present artificial discouragenents prevent use of Alaska tremendous potentialities There is no valid reason why this should continue With expanded use of the Alcan Highway together with relaxation of the sense less barriers against of Alaskas vast resources including return Alaska ownership of excess land belonging to the Federal overnment-Aaska could come into its own land of promise, not only for Americans but also for refugees seeking new life

Leaks in the Reservoir of Supplies
CNew York Sum

No other single cause of delay in housing has exceeded effect that of shortages of materials Fed eral agenceis dealing with the problem have created a complex rating system to help overcome the black market and to divert most of the output of lumber, plumbing and heating supplies and other essential materials into emergency housing Despite these eff forts the prospect is that shortages will continue to be serious through 1947
 The Civilian Production Administration has ad- mtted that among materials which will not be pro- duced next year quantities large enough to provide the building industrys requiI ments caStiron soil pipe bathroom equipment and screen cloth In many places even such relatively simple items doors and window sash have been unobtainable. The National Association of Housing Officials has reported that in Cleveland surplus Navy pontoons cut up for sash material and that Army messhan tables were con- verted into doors for veterans housing The Chicago Tribune recently disclosed that thousands of tons of concrete being poured into new swimming pools for the movie people who building expensive homes in suburbs of Los Angeles.
 In the first half of this year 327lO00 barrels of Portland cement were exported to foreign markets Also among materials shipped overseas in the same period 2253 tons of casiron soil pipe and 93 722 tens of reinforcing bars of steel In reporting these shipments Domestic Commerce explains that, except for the steel bars exports represented small percentage of American production. Yet communities that are concerned about supplies to finish homes for their veterans would be disturbed to learn that 755 900 square feet of asphalt roofing material were shipped overseas this year before July If those munes could obtain no such roofing, they would not be entirely soothed by the knowledge that the exports formed little more than per cent of the countrys output

Soldiers will guard the train, just as guards stand watch continually over these documents in the Library of Con- gress.

IMMENSE COAL
 DEPOSIT ES FOUND
 pT. BARROW AREA

WASHINGTON, Dec 26 - The Bureau of Mines disclosed today discovery of enough coal in the Point Barrow, Alaska, area to sup ply that Arctic village for 75 years.
 A bulletin prepared by Robert S. Sanford, acting chief of the bur eau's mining branch at Juneau, and Harold c. Pierce, Fairbanks mining engineer, said explorations in ghe summer of 1944 disclosed the exis- tence of l12,00O tons of sub-bitum- inous coal-a 75-year stock for Barrow.
 The publication said the survey was understaken because of the acute fuel shortage at Barrow dur ing winters of 1942-43 and l943- A, which caused much hardship among the Esklmos. 1t added.
 The coal resources of North western Alaska are very great and at present are practically un- touched"
 The mines bureau also disclose ] for the first time that it had sur veyed nickel, copper and cobalt de- posits in the Mertie Lode at Funter Bay, Admiralty Island, in 1889, and lead-copper deposits in the 200- square mile area northwest of Slana, Alaska, in 1945. Results of the sur veys were not available.

KETCHIKAN COST OF LIVING

Tn ar attempt to explain why the prices Of many commodities are higher in Kechikan than they are in Juneau one Ketchikan merchant states:
 We operate differently here from the way they do in Juneau Up there they hate each other ana cut prices to show that hatred Down here we try to get along and all of us make living
 This condition in Ketchkan the merchant claims, makes for healthier business district and health fer town.
 Wow
 We wonder what the reaction of the Ketchikan consumer is to that one. What the Ketchikan mer- chant has actually said is that in Juneau healthy competition keeps prices down, while in Ketchlkan the merchants make more money by getting together.
 During the recent shipping strike, there was plenty Of gouging" going in cities all over Alaska, ana the merchants of Juneau to be commended for the job they have done in keeping prices down

SUPPRESSED MARInuR BOOK

More background is now leaking out regarding the remarkable top secret cable sent by General Mac Arthur to the War Department Tanning editors of the New York Herald Tribune, Christian Science Monitor and several other news papers from taking a special trip 10 Japan on the ground that they yerged cn downright quackery and dishonesty
 It now appears that one reason for MacArthur's ban on the staid and conservative New York Herald Tribune is a solar suppressed book written by Herald Trib correspond ent Lewis Sebring, Jr, regarding MacArthur's wartime publicity ma chine.
 Sebring covered the MacArthur campaign in the Southwest Pacific from the day Doug arrived in Aus tralia until 1914 His book not only takes apart the Commanders super-publicity setup but tells about the luxurious mansion he built for himself on the hills of Hollandia and dissec,s various parts of the Macarthur claims to heroism. It is a beck which every Navy man would delight to read.
 However, they may not be able to read it. Thomas r. Crowell and Go. originally scheduled to publish the book, got cold feet. Later Doubleday 6 Co. considered publi- cation, but also backed down.

INSIDE THE MINERS UNION

INSIDE HE MkNER CNlON
 The American public is prone to forget easily. When crisis is over it goes back to pleasanter things.
 But while most people now are busy with turkeys and Christmas trees, John L. Lewis-even though his hushy brow ceases to adorn the front pages-continues an ever present problem with another strike threatened March 31.
 This columnist, therefore believes it important to continue to remind the public of MT Lewis backstage operations. When a man amasses as much power as John L., and uses it as ruthlessly, he merits never teasing public scrutiny, especially in view of what some of his own men have to say about him.
 This column has long champion ed the general cause of the miners, but not all the miners agree with their union boss-though few have the nerve to speak out about him.
 However, here is a letter from one uaicn organizer who works di- rect, under Johns brother, Dan ny Lewis, and whose name must be withheld-for obvious reasons. His letter tells it's own story:
 We field representative who dc the very necessary spade-work for the organization, are required to do everything from painting the homes Of the regional union direct ors to murder. For this we get the magnanimous salary of S20O per month, plus the kicking around attest6d in the enclosed documents.
