"INDIAN TRADERS"

Some encouragement that Alaska's troubles over aborieinal rights are not being entirely overlooked Outside comes to us in the form of report appearing early this month in the Washington, D. C.. Times Hearld. written by Frank c Waldrop. It follows
 Here is a little story about Mrs Ruth MuslSrat Bronson and her friends Mrs. Bronson is vibrant ladies club speaker and registered lobbyist at the apitol for the National Congress of American Indians But let's just let this go from left to right in the order named and see what happens
 q Last year Secretary of the Interior Cap krug, who looks after Alaskan affairs asked Congress to pass law opening the Tongass National Forest in Alaska to modern world development
 "Specificallv he asked the power to join with the Secretary of Agriculture in appraising the timber ana selling off cutting rights to make newsprint ana other pulp products so badly needed on the West Coast.
 "2 Tribes of Indian live in the Tongass region. It's question whether they have any legal, titular claim in anything since the U S. Government bought Alaska outright from Russia on June 20 1867 and the title passed between the two governments without any nrovisions for Indian tribal claims of any kind.
 But nevertheless, Uncle Sam is soft-hearted guy
 And so when Congress passed law last summer authorizing the projects requested by Interior Secre- tarv Krug a section inserted specifically requr- ing that all money from the Tongass timber sales be put in a special Treasury account until the rights to the land and timber finally determined
 8 It looked like good deal for some enterprs- ing pulp and paper outfit to go up to Alaska and do sone pioneering also make paper for the U. s west coast which is so badly in need of same.

LEAHY WAS RIGHT

Undoubtedly if Cordell Hull had not got cold feet, and if Roose- welt had followed through, the United States would have faced the Japanese crisis at time when it was ready and prepared, instead of five years later with war on every front and when the Japa- nese were ready and prepared
 It is no secret that Admiral Leahy now proposes applying the same general strategy to Russia. In other words, if there is to be eventual war, he would rather pick the time and place rather than let the Russians do the picking. And he would pick it early when the United States is better prepared, rather than late.

Albert While Replies:
JANUARY 20

I have at hand the following let ter:
 Juneau, Alaska, January Is. 1943
 MT. Albert E. White
 Juneau, Alaska
 Dear Mir. White:
 I don't know your exact title but do know you are connected with the Republican Party Committee and so I am appealing to you to use your prerogative of office to get some suitable people to file for the Legislature in the next ten days.
 If democracy is to function eff fectively, surely our best and most capable leaders should make our laws. and here in Alaska it seems to me that party affiliation is not im- portant
 I have given some thought to this and suggest that some of these peo- pie be approached and urged to run. I confess to not knowing their par ty affiliations:
 MT. Waino Hendrickscn-Mayor of Juneau, an oldtime Alaskan, a scholar, and what's more fair minded citizen. He could be elected
 Miss Alice Brandebury = One of the outstanding women of the Ter ritory, but perhaps ineligible since she is employed by the Welfare Dept.
 Mir. Homer Garvin-A local lead CT and one who is capable of doing his own thinking He is particularly adept at getting along with people.
 MT. Norman Banfield-IIe has a keen mind and there should be a sprinkling of students of the law in a law-making body tnaturally).9a
 Mrs. Mildred R. Hermann-I don't like Mrs. Hermann myself but l do think she has a good mind and could be elected. It would also pre- vent her heckling from the side lines in such a manner that people are now reluctant to run for office. am
 MT. E. l.. Keithahn-Has first hand knowledge of Alaska, is intel ligent and, like MT Garven; gets along with people.
 Mir. Simpson J. MacKinnon-An oldtimer who could probably be el- elected
 I hope this list may be of some help. Personally I think an emer- gency exists.

. States probably are causing worry ill Moscow
 Last summer, for instance, Sec retary of the Army Royall releas- ed a report calling for the use of natural caverns and abandoned mines for underground aircraft factories in the United States. And while Secretary Royal would have been remiss had he not warned of the need for protecting air factor les. and while U. s. military pre- paraticns are far less offensive than the Russians, nevertheless Moscow uses them to try to keep the Russian people in a constant state of jitters. Whether the Rus sian generals themselves are also jittery is not known.
 However, there is one small school of thought in the United States which does give the Polit- buro legitimate reason for worry namely the school which believes that the United States should wage a preventive" was now rather than defensive war later.
 It is no secret to the Russians that such a school does exist i'll the United States and that it is headed by the chief military ad- wiser to the President-Admiral William D. Leahy.

Mir. Citizen
 I am having your letter printed and paid for by the Republican Party of Alaska because the Re- publican Party is party of All Alaskans and for Alaska, your sug- gestions as set out above can be read by those you mention and for con- sideration of our people and for the good of the Territory of Alaska which the Republican Party sure of Victory in 1948, still feel that they are not the masters of our people but it's servants, if called upon to serve.

ADMIRAL LEAHY AND RUSSIA

It was a well-known fact that Admiral Leahy constantly goaded Jimmy Byrnes. when the latter was secretary of state, on the charge that he was to conciliatory toward Russia. In fact, it was Leahy who had most to do with easing Byrnes out of the state department
 It is also known that at times Leahy has considered General Marshall too weak towards the Russians and has taken steps to toughen him up.
 Few outsiders realize how great a role the admiral plays in Ameri- can foreign affairs For instance, when the Truman plan for aid to Greece and Turkey was first pre- pared in the state department and sent ever to the White House, it did not contain any provision for military aid When it came back from the White House, it con- tained a plan for U. S. military aid to Greece. Admiral Leahy had inserted it.
 Most important in Leahys back ground, however is the fact that when chief of naval operations in 1887 he sold Franklin Roosevelt on the idea that preventive block ade of Japan could stop what was sure to be eventual war in the Pacific.
 And it was Leahy who worked out the master plan for Roose- velts quarantine" speech in Chi cago, plus the attempt to mobil-

RUSSIA PREPARES FOR WAR

Even il we assume that General Spaatz was subject to the usual eX- uberance of a military man, the fact is unacceptable that at the last Russian military maneuvers, six new types of jet planes were flown in view of foreign military attach es = the Ilyushin, Yakovlev, SuK- hoy. Tupelev and Lavochkin and Mikoyan
 It is also a fact that French, Italian and German war prisoners released from Russia all tell the same story-of feverish war pro- duction behind the Ural Noun tains of demobilized Soviet troops instructed to remain under military supervision to work in munitions factories because new war IS lm- pending-the last great inevitable conflict between Communism and the forces of Fascism.
 II is also a fact that most Ger man prisoners are being kept in Russia to work in these factories and that only prisoners no longer fit for physical labor are being returned to Germany.
 Reliable intelligence reports also tell of intensive air-base building in Eastern Siberia, with 5l fields in that general area, six being on the Bering Sea nearest Alaska. It is also known that the Russians now have acquired and perhaps re- fined all the secrets of the Ger man submarine, including the Nazi "Snorkel." This is a device allow ing subs to run constantly under water, without coming us to the surface to recharge batteries. Tow ard the end of the war Germans had rubberized their subs so that radar could not detect them, had installed miraculous new motors and were using canvas breathers which extend just above the water and are extremely hard to see.
 All of these secrets the Russians now have, and some of their 256 submarines have been sighted around Greenland. Kiska and only 3Gc miles from Pearl Harbor.
 These are some of the belliger- cnt preparations cn Mcscow's side which worry the United States.
