HOW ABOUT ALASKA?

With our relations with Soviet Russia getting no better and the Fifth Column Communists within the United States getting more dangerous, the problem o exposing the fellow travellers is becoming more serious all the time.
 As we have mentioned before, not few were amazed at the names which came out of the recent Canwen Committee investigation in Washington State these included college professors former legislators government officials labor organization officers ana others in important positions.
 The Canwen Committee established by the Washington State Legislature and it is unfortunate that the Alaska Legislature did not have the same foresight
 In the event of a war with Russia the strategic position of Alaska cannot be underestimated and IL seems to us that the Communists in Alaska should be exposed in an investigation similar to that Of the Canwen Committee. It is probable that such an investigation would show surprising results.
 We suggest that a subcommittee Of the united States Congress Committee UnAmerican Activities be assigned to make such investigation in Alaska this summer.

 That the New Republics editor in charge of art- cles has resigned as a result Of the Henry Wallace issue comes as no great surprise It simply adds to the confusion which has beset of Americas genuinely liberal magazines subsequent to the employment CT Wallace as one of it's editors. As result, the New Republic has found itself in the position of trying to maintain it's independence and at the same tune to support the political aims of that editor as they be- come more pronounced
 During the short time that Wallace was an ag- grieved figure forced to withdraw from the govern ment on account his differences with the admnlstra- tion over it's foreign policy, he was an asset to the New Republic Now that he is heading third potlcal party he well may become a liability At least the resienaton of William Harlan Hale the editor III charge hints strongly of dissension among the maga- zines senior editors on that point. And Waaces own resignation as an active editor-even though he VIII continue writing articles-does not carfy matters
 While it is all right for Bruce Bliven the New Republics editorial director, to explain away Hale resignation and the dsagreements among his staff on the grounds that his editors usually fail to agree on any subject weakens the confidence of hls readers And for Michael Straight the publisher to say that hs magazine will not oppose Walaces candidacy IS any thing but a positive statement,
 It begins to look more and more as though the New Republic Henry Wallace alliance has been mis- take although the intentions of both parties were o the best The truth may be that neither one has the remotest need of the other and never did have.

sent by A. P. and L. M. Giannini called Eccles: "A bureaucratic des- pct who is trying to suppress free institutions through the exercise of dictatorial powers masquerading as administrative discretion
 Eccles, however, was not dis couraged. He accused the Gian- n4nis of trying to monopolize West Coast banking. He told Senators that 40 percent of all banking off ces and 38 percent of all the com mercial deposits in California Ari- zona, Nevada, oregon and Wash .ngton belonged to the Gianninis. He pointed to 4l banks in the Trans-America group operating the huge total of 619 banking offices, with aggregate deposits Of more than 6i2 billion dollars, And he demanded of the Senate that this financial stranglehold be broken
 Even manufacturing firms, ranch es, shipping. and retail business on the West Coast are beholden to the Giannins, Eccles declared. He argued that this is too much power to put ill the hands of only two men.
 Lccles also has drowned on the approval of Giannini applications lol the opening of between Is and % new branch banks in Califor nia, now pending before Comptrol- Ter of the Currency Preston De- lano Though Eccles has no direct jurisdiction over the applications, he has informed Delano unoffi eially that the Federal Reserve Board feels that further Gianninl expansion would be unfair to inde- pendent competitors
 Also, Eccles feels that the Re serve Board has a stake in this latest Giannini move, since the new hanks would be national bank branches, and thus automatically become part Of the Federal Re serve system if approved
