THREE BILLS OF
 DEL. BARTLETT
 ENDORSED BY C

Four bills introduced by Dele gate E. L. Bartlett were head anc three were endorsed at the regular business luncheon meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, and one was referred back to the proper committee for further considera- ton. Those endorsed by the Ju- neau Chamber were HR-l79. which would require a three year resi- dence in the Territory for gov ernorship appointment; HR 12l or the election of a governor by the people of the Territory, effective in the 1948 election, and HR ITS which woud permit citizens of 1e years Of age to vote.
 Bill l82, which would insure bona fide residents of Alaska em- ployment in the local fisheries in preference to help from the out side, was referred back to the committee for further considera- tion following Pete Gilmores state ment on the present operational policies of the fisheries which already makes provisions for prior ity to local help. Gilmore, who is an official of the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc, explained that the industry prefers to hire local help from the standpoint of economy, but not enough help is available in the Territory and workers from the States have to be brought in to carry on the job.

PERTINENT TALK BY MRS. DAWES
 AT JWC MEETING

Unexpected fireworks on the topic of International Relations were set off in series of pyra- miding explosions which had most members of the Juneau Woman's Club squirming in their seats We'd nesday noon as guest speaker at the monthly luncheon, Mrs L. P. Dawes. presented her analysis of the nations place in international affairs.
 Introduced by Mrs James V. Cole who acted n the absence of the regular department chairman, Mrs. Dawes forthrightly presented her views.
 Americans first began meddling in the affairs of Europe and Latin America when President Monroe set his name to the document which. we have considered ever since. gives us the right to play bully with little nations Mrs. Dawes stated.
 NO Ofc!gn IoHCN
 Further, The United States has no foreign policy - or if 1t does the United States Congress has never heard of it. Russia has definite foreign policy and if we do not understand her intentions fully We have only our own stupid ity to blame By contrast, our cnly foreign policy is to promise to pay the costs of war for every Lody else. As for spies, no foreign nation needs to have any in this country, for as a nation we suffer from diarrhea of the mouth and keep no secrets from anybody
 About the only consistent stand we've made is to stick by England at all costs. When the King and Queen came over to Canada and then travelled on down to Washington. we were as good as in the war then, for we were so flattered by the fact that we were ready 10 do anything they asked
 International Facts
 And regarding agreements be- tween nations, the speaker de- clared categorically, the only pacts made between nations are for their own advantage. Wars and fighting have been going on for millions of years; they are the natural order of things-they have not been stopped in the past and they will not be stopped in the future"
 Domestic Angle
 Of domestic affairs, Mrs. Dawes said: For thirteen years we en- dured a dictatorship in this coun- try Along with it was built up a bloc of sniyeling, bootlicking poli- ticians in high salaried govern ment positions who did nothing to earn the salaries they drew. The courts were filled with a lot of shaky old dodos who took weeks to hand down a decision they should have been able to reach in few days. And our laborers were encouraged to make more and more impossible cemands for wage increases while they forgot what an honest days work was,
 At the close of Mrs Dawes speech (Which seemed to get good many things off her chest that had teen lying very heavily for a long time) Mrs Cole took exception to many of the opinions expressed and reaffirmed her own
