NO BASIS FOR

WASHINGTON. May 6 = R -
Saying these are troubled times"
President Truman urged the SEN
ate today to strengthen the Sc
curity of our nation" by granting
statehood to Alaska and Hawaii.
Il know of few better ways in
which we can demonstrate to the
world our deep faith in Democracy
and the principle of self govern
ment," the President added
Mr.. Truman made this plea in {
letter to Chairman O'Mahoney Cd
Wyo) of the Senator Interior Com
mittee which is considering the
two statehood measures the House
passed some weeks ago.
Noting the contention OF opposi-
ton forces that admission OF the
two Territories would give them
the same representation in the Sen
ate as the most populous states, the
President said:
This argument is not only en-
tirely without merit. but also di-
rectly attacks a basic tenet OF the
constitutional system under which
this nation has grown and pros
pered
Without the provision for equal
representation in the Senate for all
states, both great and small, re-
gardless of population, there PROB
ably would have been no United
States
Mr. Truman then added
There is no Justification for
denying statehood to Alaska and
Hawaii on the basis of an issue
which was resolved by the Consti-
tutional Convention in 1887"
America justly takes pride in it,
record of fulfilling to the letter its
obligations to foreign nations" he
went on.
I'VE should be no less scrupulous
in carrying out the promises mace
to our own citizens in Alaska and
Hawaii"
Asserting the need is more urgent
today than ever before" for action
ON the statehood measures, the
President added:
by such action we will not only
promote the welfare and develop
ment of the two Territories, but
greatly strengthen the security OF
our nation as a whole"
