RECOMMENDS PASSENGERS BE CARRIED ON CANADIAN
 VESSELS IN ALASKA

WASHINGTON - The Maritime Commission has recommended that passengers be allowed the use of Canadian vessels between Skagway and other Alaska ports in report ing faYorably on Delegate Bart let's enabling legislation.
 The bill, introduced early in .1947, would permit such transport ation until July 1 of this year. Chairman Smith of the Maritime Commission, in approving t h e measure. states, There is a con tinued necessity for better passen- ger service between Skagway and other points in Alaska, which can not be supplied by United States flag vessels in the present circum- stances There appears to be no prospect that under the project in- terim operating contracts which will expire June 30, 194S. United States flag vessels will be able to furnish sufficient passen- ger service between points in AL aska The permission granted by the bill will be in effect only until June 30, 1948 By that time, it is expected that some permanent plan can be worked out to meet the wa ter transportation problem in Alas ka here involved"

 The British are pursuing this policy as part of their pro-Arab tactics. And the State Depart ment, over Clay's vehement protests, appears to be playing the British game.
 The faIeSIlne truce does not bar Jewish immigration. Only men under arms or undergoing military training are prohibited from en- trance. This is the only restric- ton and it was written into the agreement at French insistence However, from the day the truce went into effect, the British have done everything in their power to block Jews from going to the Holy Land
 Note-General Clay has warned Washington ban on immigration may lead to serious disturbances in the DIP camps due to the breakup of many families. Parts of fam flies have already reached Pales- tine, while other members are still in the German camps.

| tional service, the American Legion has had the approval and gratitude of the nation. It has beer accorded place of high responsibility and prestige the countrys affairs, and it has functoned that high place with great courage and integrity.
 And now as Commander ONeil announced, the Legion has dedicated itself to a enterprise of national service which utmost importance to the country as whole.
 Throughout the forthcoming presidential cam paign the American Legion will do everything in it's power not promote the interests of any particular political porty to elect defeat specific candidates for public office but to impress every American citizen the vital meaning of his right and duty to vote
 The 17000 posts of the Legion, with more than 3 million American veterans the membership rolls will the of information instruc ton and persuasion.
 It is shocking that many American citizens need persuasion in this respect
 The American right of the free and secret ballot is the very essence and substance of way of life
 It is the most cherished of our American rights. as we regard them, and the most envied, the whole world regards them.
 In the fullest sense of the word we are free be- cause we enjoy that right.
 But it is an amazing and dsquieting fact that many fundamentally majority of all eligible Americans-fal to exercise that precious right.
 As Commander ONeil pointed out
 Recent general elections show that only half of the eligible voters registered and less than half of the registrants actually cast a ballot"
 There is an actual danger, Commander ONeil warned that the enemies of the United States might prevail in an election conducted under these condi tions-for minority of American voters is thus per- mted to determine the personnel and the policies of our national government
 The American people should not only cherish the right vote they should zealousy perform the duty of voting And the service to be rendered by the American Legion toward this end will indeed be of national importance and worthy of its proud tradition.

 Included in the convention program will be the impressive commtta service on Sunday for Alaska World War II dead.
 The American Legion has taken an active part in affairs in Alaska and especially in Juneau Along this line an editorial from the Seattle Post-Inelligencer, of recent date indicates the strength and purposes of the American Legion and printed in full as follows
 Just as it always has in the past, the American Legion living up most admirably to it's patriotic creed of national service in peace as well as in war
 That was made clear in the eloquent address which it's National Commander, James F ONeil, made at the department convention in Tacoma last week
 The Legion has pledged it's continued efforts III behalf of universal military training when the next Congress convenes in January despite its discouraging experience in similar efforts during the last session of which Commander ONeil observed:
 UNIT was not defeated by the last Congress. It was smothered in squeeze play between electon-con scious politicians and Communist pressure groups and never even came up for a vote"
 4.a The Legion of the first American organ zations with tion-wde membership and influence to recognize and oppose the evil purposes of Con- mlnism in the United States-and Commander ONeil left no doubt as intention to continue it's efforts along this line

 A nationwide poll taken by motorcar dealers and manufacturers reveals that all give an nkling of our character in the color of automobile we choose Under present conditions this probably is the most academic of polls yet made. For the normal auto purchaser the range of choice is just about what 1t was in the days of the Model T. when Henry Ford is supposed to have said his customers coud have any color they wanted long as it's black.
 Nevertheless. like to look forward to time when meek downtrodden salesman will come crawling to us on his hands and knees, like a serf approaching the lord of the manor, and ask humbly what color want.
 And evidently the motor industry looks forward = with some alarm, should suppose = to somewhat similar conditions Otherwise it would hardly trouble to find out about color preferences.
 Given this faint adumbration of a distant time when the consumer more is king, the findings of the poll are not without future value Intellectual types learn from the survey, prefer blue Athletes like red egosts yellow and extroverts orange
 We are going to cherish this neat set of findings future useprovded we can remember 1t until that elusive time when the auto salesman resumes the pos ture of humility that goes with overproduction

 Douglas delivered his prepared speech anyway-on the subject o1 the responsibility of the legal pro- fession to uphold the constitution al freedoms of press and speech guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.
