been able to define analyze, are the arch-enemes of Alaska. We have pointed out time and again that except fol vested interests or outside capital, Alaska would not be advanced economically as it is today Neither would most of the large geographic areas of the United States for that matter.
 There has been continuous roar and believing against outside capital-that is up until now.
 As everyone knows, establishing a pulp mill is not a peanut-szed investment. Pulp is heavy industry. It takes logging equipment power facilities, mills boats and everything else that costs big money
 So when chapter in the development Of Alaska was ready to open everyone, including the castgaors of vested interests welcomed with joy and shouting some $2oOOooOO that could only come from the Outside.
 If Alaska is to be developed it must be done by capital from elsewhere than in Alaska, since Alaska nor none of it's people are rich.
 The advent of the pulp combine into Alaska seeyos an excellent example of what must expect if the country is to be opened up.
 It seems to us it is about time to stop fighting Outside capital and do reverse play by welcoming every penny of it we can persuade to come here
 We are badly in need of venture capital in Alaska and along this line the heavytax people should bear in mind that no capital is to be ventured without nrofit and that from excessive taxes IS re- auired to provide that incentive

Waiting to Learn
Seattle Times,

rho pacific Northwest awaits with considerable interest the text of pronouncement of the House Committee on Public Lands reported m the news.
 The committees report concludes that the Federal gov
 ,,oant sbo,,,d retain ownership of national forest ,aad .because of their tremendous importance to the nation as a whole
 Since the committees report evidently deais cnlei- lv with the question of the grazing lands n the na tional forests it may be of more immediate slgnl- ficance farther East than toward this Pacific Coast p,t even so if is of vital interest here and as the committee remarks trtely but soundy, to the nation as whole for the grazing question involves proplems of soil conservation, forest management ana the attendant question of water uses ana so lholec'y' power
 The Congressional committee notes drastic re- duction in the use of Federal forest lands for grazing purposes and goes on to observe that Tn the ight of the existing shortages and the consequent is prices presently prevailing the drastic reductlon III the number of livestock these Western ranges IS d subject of vital concern not only to producers VI the West, but the nation
 That is fine flow of rhetoric, but throws little light on what is in the committees mind Let us hope the Congressmen that the forest lands should be retained by the government and not parceed out to the States be distributed eventually to private own- ershp that they should be kept under the competent jurisdiction of United States Forest Service and that the Forest Service should be empowered and enabled to administer the grazing and other privileges on scientific basis, that maximum use may be put to them for the susenance of livestock without depletion of the soil and other vital resources
 Beyond that, the Pacific Northwest would like to know whether this document gives any hint to whether the committee has seen more light on the boundaries of the Olympic National Park And whether the committee begins to feel that relatively minute portion of that immense and for the most part impenerable reservation should be put to the constructive use of producing more lumber-under scientific Forest Service management-as the grazing lands elsewhere may be used to produce more meat.

legislators are so ardent about giving aid to the corrupt and in- competent Chiang Kai-shek gov- ernment. By pouring couple of billion dollars worth of so-called relief into the vast China rathole, they think the Government can keep production at high level.
 Tt seems to me there is a com plete lack of integrity in insist ing that commodity prices be sup ported by huge subsidies when con- ditions are so inflationary and crops so abundant. The politicians can't be too concerned about high prices when they insist that farm prices be supported"

THE VETERANS MOVEMENT

There approximately l5,o00.0o0 veterans from World Wars and II in the United States. Of these it is estimated that 5000000 have joined the American Legion and another 100000 have signed up with the Veterans Foreign Wars. In addition to these 9000- 900 men others have joined the American Veterans Committed Disabled Veterans of the United States Catholic War Veterans Jewish War Veterans, etc.
 We feel that the American war veteran is entitled to every reasonable break that his fellow citizen can give him but it is understandable if Congress and the rest of do not always know exactly what the veteran wants and needs.
 One good for this lack of accurate know ledge obvious from the above figures Veterans are split into two large and several smaller organizations These organizations do not all necessarily speak, think and act alike This makes it quite difficult to de- termine the wants of the majority of the veterans
 Wouldn't it be better for the veterans own good that large and powerful organization be formed in order to present accurate and correct picture Of the veterans needs to his neghbors? We might quote one of our American Revolution ancestors who re- minded the original 3 American colonies that united we stand. Divided we fall"

 Pulp, visiis Here

Howard William Dougherty, an associate in the D and F Company of New York, was in- Juneau on Thursday aboard the Corsair.

 Dougherty conferred with Gov ernor Ernest Gruening and George Sundborg of the Alaska Develop ment Board yesterday. Dougher- ty, who makes his home in Pasa- dena, was accompanied by his wife.

ANTI-A.A.R. BLAST

.Young's caustic antipathy to his fellow railway executives is not new. Time has not tempered it. He denounced the Association of American Railroads with unabated vigor.
 'The AAR. has only itself to blame for the Governments claim to hundreds of millions of dollars in alleged wartime freight rate overpayments," Young declared The Association could have gone to the ICC during the war ano openly asked for higher rates. The railroads could have gotten percent profit instead of measly percent Then they wouldn't bt facing demand for reimburse ment today when they can ill af- ford it.
 But, apparently. the A.A.R wants litigations. It is run by lawyers who prefer to make big fees by litigating rather than working out a sensible settlement. In the meantime, the public reads about the overcharges and feels that fraud has been perpetrated.
 Another example of A.A.R. stu pidity is the Western rate case on which a decision is now pend ing. That's the case in which former Secretary Averen Hartman twhose family controls the Unior Pacific Railroad) was very myster. iously excluded from the list O defendants. I predict that tn railroads will wind up by losing this case along with hundreds o thousands of dollars in fees to tn lawers. They always win.
 T know the Justice Departmen would have settled this case on reasonable basis three or four year ago. But instead of doing that the A.A.R. insisted on fighting Now the railroads find themselve

 The Virginian is controlled by the Koppers Company of Pitts burgh, Mellon outfit.

PLAGUE ON BOTH

AS Young sees President Tru- man, he is a far different man from what he was as U. s. Sena- tor. And Young doesn't like Re- publican Representative George Bender, Ohio, any better for what he is doing in charging the rail- roads with gypping the Govern ment on wartime freight rates.
 The Senator Truman with whom I once dealt and President Truman seem to be two different people" Young declared. AS Sem ator, MT Truman was a vehement critic of Wall Street. He displayed viewpoint which we thought would continue when he became Presi- dent: Instead, look what he did. He took into his Cabinet Averell Hartman, James Forrestal and other Wall Street bankers who have bitterly opposed every effort to modernize the railroads, to stimulate competition, and to strengthen the carriers for nation al defense.
 Congressman Bender'S subcOm- mittee is making political foot ball of the railroads. The car riers are one of the key economic and defense assets of the nation They should not be kicked around by politicians for yote-getting pur- poses"

NO FREIGHT CARS

Young also placed much of the blame for the shortage in railway cars on the A.AR.
 The shortage is more acute now than it was a year ago." Young asserted. "The AAR. says this is due to steel shortages. If that is so, why is it that automobiles, airplanes. trucks and buses are be- ing made in such enormous num- bers? They have no trouble get ting steel. Why can't the railroads do the same? Certainly, the A AR. has as much political influ- ence as the auto makers.
 The real fact it, the. Associa- tion doesn't want to modernize. If it really did, it could get the steel I charge a deliberate lack of sim cerity on the HAIRS part in want ing steel for the railroads"
