For the past two years, we have been busy repeating the mistake of the first World War by giving away our merchant ships. by letting the Europeans again rule the seas. It is fore gone conclusion that Alaska will probably be one of the first plac- cs to be hit in World War III. We hope not. but if this comes to pass, we are going to need ev- cry old tub we possess to save you and to establish line of communications to carry on a war in the north.
 You are asking for a repeal of the Jones Act, so every nation in the world, including our poten- tial enemies can sail into your harbors, sound your harbors, map your coasts and photograph your LlllilNdtN IliSt StlI'iiS. LII lNC tIiS American merchant ships from the sea In other words, you want to wrap up Alaska and hand it to anyone attacking you. That is one of the greatest troubles with Alaska and some of the tinhornS running the Territory. Your one and only thought is more money in your pocket as quick as possi ble and retirement down in sun ny California, let the Territory take care of itself.
 Repcaling the Jones Act is not the answer to your problem. The merchants in Alaska have for years been holering high freight rates on the steamships, when you have the highest freight rates in the world right within your own Territory I am referring to

 You people better wake up to the danger facing you, instead of asking for the repeal of the Jones Act and statehood at the same time. Your first job IS to run the parasites, tinhornS and phonicS out of Alaska, your sec ond job is to learn to look out over those nugget cncruSted vests into a future for the Territory in stead of trampling into the dust every veStgc of q future the con tinent is trying to give you. You talk about high steamship rates holding down the Territory from development, a great deal of it is in the minds of the merchants only because the people, the good people who are trying to build Alaska up are not against the so- called shipping interests but the small time political machine that is bleeding them raw.

A roll of film weighs two ounces and can be mailed common mail to Anchorage from the other seven cents was to compensate him for his headache over high freight rates. In some parts of Alaska, the lighterage cost from ship to store is higher than the entire cost from Seattle to that point.
 If the Jones Act is repealed, it will not only effect Alaska but the territory of Hawaii. the Vir- gin Islands and Puerto Rico.

 Apparently this upset the apple cart to the extent that much too much publicity is the result too much. that is, for certain of the "old" city council and their followers.
 Publicity is one of the blanks with which Mayor Lanier builded his platform. He has brought up certain arguments in favor of publicity time and again.
