PROSPECTING OF
HAINES Fisheries IS
new DEVELOPMENT

Prospects look promising for a
program of exploration of the
waters in the Haines area this
spring for shrimp, crab or other
fisheries, Ralph Browne, assistant
manager of the Alaska Develop
ment Board said. Browne has re-
turned to Juneau from Ketchlkan
where he discussed the project Win

and Wildlife Service Products Lab
oratory in that city.
1t is hoped, Browne said, that
authority may be obtained for the
FWs' exploratory reserach vessel
John N. Cobb, operated out OF Sc
attic, to carry on the work. A
similar project was carried on last
year on a small scale with signl-
ficant success in the Gastineau
Channel and nearby waters under
the auspices of the Territorial De-
partment Of Fisheries.
Browne said that the waterways
near Haines have been little eX-
'plored but it is believed that such
project might result in the To-
eating of crab, shrimp and pos
silly other marketable fisheries in
sufficient quantities to warrant a
development of the industry.
Browne said that Haines, as a
terminal of the Haines Cut Off
connecting with the Alaska High
way could provide a rapid trans
portation of fisheries products to
interior Alaska and the states. He
said a processing plant at Halnes
would be a means of extending the
fisheries season in that area, pro
vide for an increase in employment
and expand the present limited
fishery there.
While in Ketchikan, Browne al
SO discussed various community de-
velopments in prospect with city
officials and civic leaders.

Mr.. Mowers Suggestion

The letter of Edgar Ansel Mowrer,
which appeared in your issue of Novem-
Der II, voices thoughts with which am
in complete accord. I feel sure that
many other voteless Washingtonians also
are in complete agreement with Mr..
Mowrer.
It is apparent to many of us that we
will not be granted the privileges of citi-
zenship without some type of drastic
action on our part. Certainly mere pc
tltioning Of our self-appointed masters
in Congress has borne no fruit over
period OF many. many years. And this
begging approach in an attempt to right
an indisputable wrong is distasteful any
way. 1t is not right that free citizens
should be so degraded as to have to beg
for their constitutional rights.
Mr.. Mowers theme deserves careful
consideration. Taxation without repre-
sentation was tyranny in ITS and still
is tyranny in 1850, regardless of who or
what the taxing agency is. The spon-
sorship OF an organization of both pri-
vate citizens and business organizations,
banded together with the avowed pur-
pose OF nonpayment of both Federal and
city taxes until we have been accorded
full citizenship. and guided by the advice
OF our leading attorneys, could easily
be the straw that breaks the camel's
back.

Spires Of the Spirit
The Golden Cord

The earth is infinitely poorer when
great poet dies. For an authentic poet
belongs to the total life of humanity.
Through all great poetry runs the golden
cord which ties all mankind into in
evitable oneness
When Edna st. Vincent Millay swept
her delicate young fingers over the gold
en- harp of life. out of the dirge of death
and burial there emerged the singing
Easter of the soul. Now she has gone
hence and through tears we find our
selves reading her own lines:
Down in the earth rested now,
Cool is its hand upon the brow
And soft its breast beneath the head
OF one who is so gladly dead"
When death came, treading softly a
pathway of fallen leaves in her loved
season of autumn gold, it found her
ready, alone and lonely.
Tributes have been acclaiming her as
the foremost feminine poet of her times.
At memorial service in the Capital
OF the Nation, which was q sacramental
hour attended by many united by kin
ship with her spirit and poetic sensi-
tivity, moist eyes gazed upon her pic
tpred physical likeness, beside which
hickered lighted candle, that most
ethereal symbol of moods and feelings
too deep for words. A golden harp,
whose vibrant chords seemed flttingly
to mirror the winged words of this
singer of deathless songs. made melody
supernal, whispering things that only
harp can say-the divine harmony of
many-stringed humanity which shares,
for better or for worse, the common cup
OF Joy or woe.
This gifted poet, being dead, yet
speaketh to this sadly sundered world
in one of the earliest and greatest of

ton Is depicted in vivid, moving phrases,
with lifting, rhythmic cadences, the
spiritual death, burial and resurrection
OF one who. in newness of life that

forth to brother all the sons of earth.
In this powerful&poem which established
her name and fame, even before she
came Of age, is heard, indeed, the "tick-
ing Of eternity" and the glad cry of one
who has been dead and lives again.

The secret of the worlds redemption

Modern miracles of hearing, listening,

A Thanksgiving Letter

Though had not seen him in years,
Meyer Goldberg, now a member Of the
New York State Labor Relations Board.
took it into his friendly head this month
to sit down and write me THANKSGIVING
letter.
When I was a member of the New
York Assembly" he said, "the son of
one OF my constituents was arrested in
Washington for stealing tire from the
back OF car. Your kindness led you to
have him represented in court and re-
leased; then you paid his fare back to
New York City to his family, and sent
me wire notifying me of that fact. AS
human being. you will be glad to know
that this young man has lived an honor
able life since then with no subsequent
transgreSSion against the law
Very vaguely recall the incident. It
was one of the many little personal Serv-
ices that members of Congress constantly
are performing for their constituents
partly because they are a genuinely
human and kindly group of men, and
partly, also, because they want to be
reelected.
Meyers note made me think of a
Thanksgiving letter wish could write.
1t would be to my father and mother,
to tell them all over again what really
great people I always thought them to
be. They married Immediately after he
finished working his way through COL
lege, and went into the mountains of
east Tennessee, where he had been
appointed to ride circuit over group
OF little churches. His salary was $500
a year.
We never had much money. But we
had good books, good conversation, and
the constant reminder that we ought to
be humbly grateful to the Almighty for
letting us be born in country where
everybody was free, and even the poorest
had the opportunity to travel as fast
and as far as his ability and energy
would carry him. We were taught to
believe in prayer, and we saw some
miraculous things happen in our home
which were hard to explain except as
an answer to prayer. We were taught
that everything we could hope to attain
or acquire was really loan to us from
the Almighty. If we were given more
than other people, then it was our duty
and should be our happiness-to give
more to those less fortunate. It was His
money, not ours.
Father and Mother always took us to
church on Thanksgiving Day. I am
more likely now to be seen on a golf
course. In this respect, as in others, I
am less good than they. But I hope T
am not less grateful-for my family, my
friends and my fellow Americans who,
whatever their shortcomings, are the
friendliest and most generous people on
the face of the globe.

Egypt and Britain

In demanding that Britain withdraw imme-
diately from the Suez Canal Zone and the Anglo
Egyptian Sudan, Premier Mustafa Nahas Pasha
has revived an old issue that was last heard of in
1947 when Cairo called for the same thing in the
Security Council of the United Nations.
The demand, which got nowhere in the
Council and which is likely to fzzle out again, is
not sound one. This is so because the 2O-year
Ahglo-Egyptian treaty of 1936-agreed upon in
good faith and with considerable mutual enthu
siasm-does not expire until 1856, and its uni
lateral abrogation by Premier Nahas and his
government can hardly be justified.
Under the treaty, Britain has the right to keep
troops stationed in the Canal Zone and it has
made clear-despite Premier NahaS demand
that it intends to continue doing so to safeguard
its own interests, Egypt's interests and the inter-
ests of the non-Soviet world as whole in the
strategically crucial Middle East. AS for the
Sudan, the British seem similarly resolved to
maintain the status regulated by the pact.
What Cairo wants is sole control of the Sudan.
This region-an area of about 100000 square
miles with population of 7,O0O0O0-fel early
in the last century to the founder of the present
dynasty in Egypt But later the Sudanese re-
belled, set up their own rule and were then re-
conquered in 1899 by the British, with Egyptian
help. The territory then became the condo
minimum of the two countries.
Since the treaty of 1896 is in itself strong
and hard-to-answer argument against Cairo's
