Publicity describing employment opportunities in Alaska have result ed in an increasing number of dis appointed job seekers finding them- selves stranded in Anchorage, Wall ter P. Sharpe, former Territorial Commissioner of Labor, reported to- day in Juneau. Sharpe is at present employed in Anchorage.
 He said that hundreds of families are arriving in Anchorage daily Tn old rattle-trap autos and trailers and without a cent in their pockets" Sharpe criticized the statements be- ing made outside by Alaskan and Federal officials concerning the op- portunities for jobs in Alaska which he said is responsible for the large influx of jobless. He said that the large number of tranSientS without funds already in Anchorage and elsewhere in Alaska imposes ter rife relief problem on the Territory.
 Meanwhile, in Seattle, Mrs. Jessie V. Krueger, Executive Director of the Travellers Aid Society, also criti- cized publicity which has brought a large number of diappointed Alaska job seekers to that city who are now asking the society for financial or other help. Many of the jobless are unskilled, she said, and can find no employment in the Territory Others are skilled but can't make the trip on their limited funds and are un- able to complete the journey.

Whoever is right in the present controversy over the ownership of Southeast Alaskas pulp forests, one thing is certain Alaska and all of it's people are losing the chance to gain an industry that would ranK as one of the largest in the Territory.
 It seems almost certain now that no legislation opening the lands to development this year will pass this session of Congress. Whatever chance there IS could be called very remote
 However Territorial Senator Norman R. walker of Ketchikan believes that something still may be salvaged He is leaving this week for Washington to carry on the battle representing Ketchikan and Petersburg.
 A dispatch from Washington yesterday indicated that the four Alaska Indians who appeared ln op- nosition to the pulp legislation left Saturday without having come to any compromise agreement It was unfortunate that the Indians stayed in Washington so long that they unable to visit New YorK ana Hollywood as planned Alaska would have been better off if they had gone to Hollywood.

Dilemma in Japan
(New York Times


 Tft9 economic blackout which has enveoped Japan for almost two appears to be lifting par italy. An American trade commission announces the decision to give 400 Allied trade representatives entry to Japan, and the Far Eastern Commission, in it's first statement the matter in some time has begun spell out the bill of separations that is to be handed the Japanese Government
 As General Macarthur said in announcing jointly with Washington the trade commissions decision, the reopening of foreign trade thus provided for is merely a palliative It is on too small scale to be anything else There too many problems still to be solved too many dcisons still to be made on foreign exchange and kindred matters to regard this decision as more than first step. similar characterization might be made of the Far Eastern Commissions state ment It has been understood from the beginning that factories with potentias were to be taken from Japan. The difficulty has been in deciding the border line cases. What factories do not have war potential?
 These first tentative steps toward making Japan again an exporting economically stable nation have been long delayed. It is action that had to be taken sometime unless the United States was to continue indefinitely support of Japan permanent national project as Lindesay Parrott apty puts it in dis patch to this newspaper reporting on tour of the occupied home islands.
 No in this country wants to see Japan re- stored to a position in which she could become a menace to the other countries of Asia to the United States. But neither does the United States want to take on Japan permanent national project" even if our economy could indefinitely sustain such a burden The alternative is to hasten decision as to exactly what manufacturing she is to be al lowed to keep to develop, and then to negotiate a peace treaty along these lines.
 As MT Parrott points out in his article, it is not only the economic future of Japan but the political and social future too that in delicate balance nam tained only by occupation The best chance to secure the political and social gains that have been imposed on Japan is to give them favorable economic climate in which to grow The that is done the better it would be not only for the United States and the other Allied nations that helped defeat Japanese mll- tarism but Japans future peaceful industrious and worth while member of the society of nations.
