wrathful finger of indignant public toward certain
members of the legislature But now the officials
who gave the figure much publicity are attempting
to minimize it,
Mrs. Hermann, going out limb in an attempt
to explain why the last Legislature did not adopt
the offered model tax program told the Congressman
that until recently communication facilities have
and the voters far afeld didn't know what their
representatives doing, but things would be
different. Any Alaskan, who knows air mail service
and wireless facilities have connected Juneau with all
of the Territorys far flung divisions for many sessions
of our Territorial Legislature, knows better
Respecting Mrs. Hermanns opinion that appar-
emily only the members of the Legislature who sup
ported the Governor and his program should and will
be reelected, wish to point out that after the
l945 session of the Legislature at least seven of the
Governors ardent supporters and Mrs. Hermann s
model legislators defeated in bids for reelection
and communication facilities good enough at that
time to let the folks back home know what the
score was.
The Legislature has been killing off these offered
model tax bills for the last six sessions with
different in each session. 1t might change next
time but there is for believing it will

STATEHOOD FINANCES

good deal was said pro and con yesterday in the
hearing before Req Fred L. Crawfords House Sub
committee on Territories and Insuar Possessions on
the question of statehood for Alaska
But we were unable to hear any evidence sub
mitted which would prove that the future state OF
Alaska could secure the tax revenues for financing
state government Perhaps that isn't important Some
witnesses for statehood claimed it shouldn't even be
considered.
One witness gave long list of businesses in Alaska
not now taxed claiming that if these were
tapped it would take of the financial problem.
In connection with this would like to point
out that all of these sources would have been taxed
by the passage of three bills offered at the last session
of the Legislature-an income tax general property
tax and business license tax based gross income.
The bills did not pass but had they passed it was
estimated by their sponsors that they would raise
s35OO,ooo for the biennium. AS we have pointed out
before that would not be enough to meet the current
claimed deficit of $3805,4l2, and that much again
would have to be raised to meet the additional ex-
penses of statehood if you the statehood
opponents minimum statehood expense sheet of $4,-
900 900 per biennium.
Attorney General Rivers attempted to reduce the
claimed deficit by stating the salmon pack will bring
in than anticipated and expenditures earmarked
for new construction of educational facilities need not
be spent and will not be.
But this money is needed or it would not have been
appropriated and it is too early to speculate the
returns the salmon industry. If the Territory
doesn't need more money it is odd that Mr..
Rivers only week ago, pressing suit against
the World War II Alaska Veterans Board for recovery
of a S350000 loan which made to set up that
agency, and which the agency claims it still needs.

British Films
washington POst)

The heads of the British motion picture industry
are not at all inclined to join the agitation in favor
of repeating the rs per cent tax the earnings of
foreign film companies On the contrary they show
sympathetic understanding of the purpose of the
government in imposing confiscatory tax, which, of
course, is equivalent to ban imports temporary
halt to the importation of films the British producers
declare will allow time for considering how best to
reduce the adverse balance between the amount
Britain pays for American pictures and the amount
British producers receive from America
OF course the British producers viewpoint is
patiently coored by considerations of self interest
while owners of British motion picture theatres and
producers of Hollywood films, they stand to gain
rather than lose from the exclusion of American
films, which currently absorb the lions share of the
earnings from picture showings. Nevertheless they
have grasped the fact that the governments action is
simply one feature of its program for cutting down
its adverse foreign trade balance and reducing the
drain on dollar funds. In opinion the method
adopted in this is open to criticism, as we have
already pointed out but the ultimate objective IS sound
There is however, one feature of the British film
producers statement that suggests inability or I'M
willingness to appreciate the full the sacr-
flee demanded from the British people the price
of emancpating themselves from dependence on for
egn aid thiny disguised loans. That is the sug-
gestion that with cooperation from the government
'n respect to buildings and materials the British
motion picture industry could in the space of few
years increase the home supply of films and expand
exports sufficiently to balance import of films
Even assuming that such is the case-and we doubt
it-anv such program for immediate expansion of the
industry in a fully protected home market would
entail diversion of labor and materials from more
essential domestic industries that seriously hand-
capped by shortages of labor fuel and materials
for construction and manufacturing purposes That
sort of thing responsible in for Britains plight
A country in Britain's position cannot afford under
present conditions to scamp basic industries for the
sake of expanding industries providing entertainment

that sustain life. 1t is painful alternative but one

bilization of volunteers in the re-

The whole organization of the
Communist party is presided over
by a very small hierarchy of lead
ers, upon which depends the civil

THE military organization is

following the Soviet system of or
