Center Survey
Group To Begin
Local Inquiries

Most important and probably
the most immediate need is a
population study, according to
Jack Fruchthendler, chairman of
the Center Survey Committee
which met last month to hear him
outline the function and scope of
the group and plan the general
direction of the survey. Three
fundamentals were. considered.
The population study which
they hope to conduct in March
will analyze the Jewish commun-
ity in terms of numbers, age
groups, affiliation or non-affilia-
ton, needs and recreational in
terests. (ThiS material will have
value going beyond the actual
Center study.) Census takers will
be recruited from the community
and briefed in advance. On the
Census subcommittee are Jack

U. $. VEERS TOWARD
 MONOPOLY

Scarcely line appeared in the newspapers, but every business man should read the warnings to American business given before the House Small Business Committee by Morris Ernst, brilliant New York attorney.
 Although Ernst blasted the dan gers of monopoly, he also warned against Government controls, on the ground that the Government will get too big and Gas in Russia) do an inefficient job"
 Once the Government starts talk ing over business there will be no stopping, Ernst declared, because it will be afraid of criticism and will take over the most precious business of all in America, that of getting access to the minds of the people: radio, movies and the press"
 Big business itself is blazing the trail for "statism," Ernst charged, by it's unpoliced monopolies, add ing that mergers today are the highest in IS years.
 To stop the dangerous trend, Ernst urged Congress to begin breaking up the big insurance companies, chain stores and other monopolies, just as we have brok- en up utility holding companies and chain banking.

been the publicly stated objective of the administra- tion forth past Is years. Probably without excep tion lists though not necessarily in the same order, the self same goals which any other sincere party in power would promote.
 Surely no one, Democrat or Republican can quar- rel with these:
 | Improved air rail and road transportation to the Territory
 2. Special consideration for Alaska's need for housn, hospital sand community facilities.
 g. Swift solution of the complex and bothersome question of aboriginal rights
 4. Continued encouragement of land settlement
 These. certainly, must represent the minimum in any thinking toward Alaskas development. They have been the announced aims of every bureau op~ eratng under the Democratic leadership for four political generations.
 Bartlett placed at the head of this list the pledge of immediate action to make Alaska a state of the union stating that it is inevitable
 The "inevitability" of Alaska statehood has never been logically questioned Its place on a timetable of action is a matter Of some disagreement dis agreement which has no direct bearing on the prin- ciple
 The Delegates program of development has firmer basis in reason than his political prophecy
 The time for laying out the political complexion of the future is obviously not at the height of that eXhilaratng morning after-v victory feeling. Future campaigns will be waged on the grounds of achieve ment. The path before this administration is no fresh foray requiring the breaking of trail,
 The Democratsjust the Republicans, had the tables been turned-wi be judged their accom- pshments, their pledges fulfilled.
 In that way, they can make their boisterous ses- sons of self congratulation appear other than lud- when the record of achievement is read four years hence.
 Democrats have their victory. It is now up to them to deserve it.

mergers" Ernst told the Small Business Committee.
 And after 10 years, the earn- ings did not even equal the first years earnings"
 Another study made in 1885, he said, showed that 19 large steel companies lost $l9000,000, while 129 small ones earned $6,o00,000.
 "But that is not tine question" :" concluded Ernst. "The question is that the power in the market place is such that the big boys will eventually squeeze out the little men-particularly the profitable ones
 The big chains have sold, by and large, at 6 per cent under the local grocer, and temporarily 1t looks like a saving to the peo- pie, But they have destroyed a lot of local grocers by going in and selling eggs temporarily at lower figure and then boosting it later"

VICTORY: THE BEGINNING
 OR THE END

The following is editorial appearing in a recent issue of the Fairbanks News-Miner and it is most timely from several standpoints, is reprinted in full:
 Fourth Division Democrats-like those of the vic- torous party in festivals of triumph throughout the nation-had their big inning Saturday night at the Casa Blanca.
 It was their night to crow and they crowed at a pitch to which they had earned every right at the Territorial and national ballot boxes.
 Victory celebrations of which party it is that is celebrating have a tendency toward exuberan exaggeration and mild outbursts of hysera
 Perhaps this may explain the startling prophecy by the chief speakers of the evening, Delegate E. L. Bartlett that the two party system in the United States has all but become extinct.
 Delegate Bartlett declared flatly that "the young person in this room the youngest person who may be listening the radio, will never live to see a Republican administration again."
 The speaker qualified this prediction fin only one degree: through chain of circumstances not now foreseeabe, similar perhaps, to 946, there could be possibly in the years to come a single Republican administration, but more"
 Tn the wake of upset such as his party achieved nationally and in Alaska within the last 60 days, the Delegate must be permitted his excursion into the realm of prognostcation. Victory is a heady brew, often stimulating giddy of infallibilty.
 Tn his other announcements, Delegate Bartlett veered nearer to the cold facts by which victories must be appraised to whether they just and deserved

 in Missouri" said the hefty, six foot-two Oklahoman. Yes, that big victory vote you turned out was really inspiring. Of course, it was not quite as big as the victory margin we boiled in Oklahoma. '"
 "Yes, I know all about it." chuckled Truman But did you notice the Congressional gains we made in Missouri? We knocked off eight Republican Congressmen in the House of Representatives. There's only one Republican left in the Missouri House delegation
 "Hmmm,' unused Kerr. You say that Missouri still has one Republican Congressman? Very unfortunate. In Oklahoma we made clean sweep, electing all Democrats to the House. Maybe we could give you Missourians some pointers"
 Just give up little time, countered Truman, with grin We're working on it."
 Note-Out of 13 Missouri House members, the only Republican who survived the election was Dewey Short. Democrats swept all eight House seats in Oklahoma, includ- ing two formerly held by Re- publicans, plus the Senate seat of Republican Ed Moore, whom Kerr succeeds.

LOBBYING IN SECRET

Ex-Congressman Roger Slaugh- ter, of Kansas City, now indict- ed for failing to register as a lobbyist, has concocted a legal toe stubber which he will take to the Court of Appeals.
 He claims that lobbying was part of his legal work and that a lawyers service for his client is privileged. If the Kansas City x-Congressman gets by on this one, lawyers will automatically be exempt from the lobbying laws.
 There's nothing illegal about lobbying providing it is done in the open That is the reason for the Lobbying Act. which requires lobbyists to register with Congress. telling who they're working for and how much they're paid.

REVAMP COMMERCE DEPARTMENT

At the same time, declared Ernst, the mandate" Of the Commerce Department should be rewritten by Congress to make that depart ment the servant of 500,000 small free enterprises instead of the ser want of 400 big concerns that control one-half of the resources of the United States"
 Ernst contended that the dis memhering of monopolies was not only good democrary, but good business for everybody, including the big firms. cited innumerable studies, showing that the prime motive behind a monopoly was power, not profits. AS monopoly increases in size, its efficiency and profits both suffer.
 The fact is very definitely proved that earnings before the mergers were IS per cent higher than in the first year after the
