state.
 Discussing increased cost to Alaskans of statehood as opposed to Territorial status, Arnold said he estimated the cost would be about double. He said he based his esti- mate on the S5,889, ,268 sum appro- priated by Congress for 1851 to de- fray costs which obviously would fall upon Alaska as a state. He added that he also had taken into con- sideration statements made by pro- ponents at the hearings and be- lieved their budgets were optimistic.
 When Arnold asserted the bill would present profits on timber sales in the Tongass National For est from being diverted to state support-at least until settlement of Indian claims allowed such di- version instead of being placed in escrow - Anderson interjected the following comment:

Insurance Needed

There should be written into this bill some form of insurance to guar antee to the people of Alaska all benefits accruing from sales ot timber and pulp woods to indus tries which undoubtedly will be established there"
 Arnold also pointed out that doubling the tax on fuel oil to four cents a gallon as proposed by the Statehood Commission would be ot small benefit to the largest industry in Alaska-Fishing plane and auto- motive consumption. It would help defray costs of roads and airtields. but h-boats-large consumers ot oil-would benefit only in so far as the revenue would help support seaplane bases; matter Of small importance to fishermen, he said.

TALKS ON JAPAN PEACE

The japanese people are natural
ly interested keenly in the progress
of preliminary talks on the posi-
bility of going ahead with peace
settlement for Japan. OF immediate
concern is the meeting between
American and Soviet representa-
tives in an attempt to iron out
difficulties of long standing on the
Japanese peace problem.
With their hopes raised and de-
flated On so many occasions, the
Japanese have learned not to be-
come too enthusiastic over the pros
poets of an early peace accord lest
they are again disappointed. But
the recent announcements of no

peace treaty is well known, have

5000 STRANDED

VANCOUVER, z. c.. DEC. 49, A
heading of a recent Canadian Press
dispatch in the Vancouver Sun de-
clared the "Nisei problems ere up
again. and added the government
may be faced with howls of protests
which may extend across the coun-
try.
According to the report, there are
presently about 5000 japanese Can

The only block which is proven
ting them from getting passage in
mass today is because the United
States and japan have not yet
signed a peace treaty, it noted
For most strandees, the Canadian
laws make it very difficult for them
to come back. For one thing, yen is
not convertible into Canadian cur
rency, so NiSei in Japan must
find relative or a friend in Can
ada who will put Up the money for
the boat fare.
If the money does appear, the

greater degree than ever before.
But there looms again the ques-
ton of what intentions the Russians
have with regard to The peace dis
cussions initiated by the United
States. The Soviets have, to be sure,
announced that they are willing to
begin talks, and they have returned
to the Far Eastern Commission af-
ter an absence of nine months
Talk and action, however, are two
different things and must not be
confused.
The Russians lose nothing by
agreeing to begin talks; and they
have been careful not to commit
themselves in any way. After all
the discussions have been compile
led, they may still refuse at the
very end to agree with the other
nations on the pe3ce terms.
1t is, moreover; not lost upon the
japanese that there has not been
any official indication that the
Russian position of insisting upon
the retention of the veto power by
the Big -Four of Britain, China,
Soviet Union and the United States
has been changed. The Russian
demand on this point three years
ago nullified American attempts to
seek an early settlement of the
Japanese peace issue.
The American-Soviet talks may
clarity the Russian stand on the
veto; and it must be borne in mind
that this Soviet position will in
volve more than just the question
of the Japanese peace treaty. For
the United Nations, since the out
break of the Korean conflict, is
moving rapidly toward the devising
of means whereby the big Power
veto might be counteracted by a
majority vote.
If the Soviets can read this hand
writing on the wall, they may make
an about-face and show an initial
willingness to proceed with the
peace treaty talks. But it would be
too early even then for the japanese
to become too jubilant over the
prospects of an overall peace settle
ment. The past record of the Rus
slams has been such that the world
has been forced to take their every
action with that proverbial grain
of salt.
Indeed, there is no room for op-
timism on the hopes of an early
peace accord when it is considered
that the question of the Chinese
Communists must be taken up be-
sides the veto issue.
From a very realistic point of
view, the core of the Japanese
peace treaty problem would seem

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Dec.
"A new measure to eliminate race
in naturalization was introduced
last Monday as Congress convened
for its short lame duck session
according to Mike Masaola, nation
al JACL ti-Discrimination Com
mittee legislative director
The bill was introduced by Rep.
Francis E. Walter, author of the
Walter Resolution which. because
of security amendments, was ve-
toed by The President after passing
Congress in September.
The bill. although differing slight
ly in text from the Walter Resolu-
ton, has only one objective. To
eliminate race in naturaliza ton,
thus clearing the way for some
10000 aliens of Asian ancestry,
chiefly japanese. to apply for Cit
zenship.
Masaoka said that Rep. Walter
was hopeful the measure could be
acted upon by the House within the
next week to ten days.
He, however, said that because the
current session will last only appro-
ximately three weeks, and because
of general reluctance among Con-
gressmen to act on any type of le-
gislation. lit is not certain that the
bill can get through both Houses
before Congress adjourns'.
Masaoka said that after confer
ing with Rep. Walter, the PennSly-
vania congressman said he would
introduce the naturalization mea-
sure as a regular bill, rather than
a resolution. The difference is
chiefly technical. Both a reSolu-
ton and a bill have the full effect
of law and is approved by Congress
and signed by the President.
Actually, however, a resolution
is generally conceived of as tenn
porary way of introducing a mea-
sure. 1t does not carry quite the
same weight in congressional com
mittees as a bill.
The naturalization legisla ton
was introduced originally as a re-
solution because of the fact the
Judd bill. designed both to elimi-
nate race in naturalization and re-
open Americas shores to token i'm
migration from all Asian countries,
then was before Congress-.
Now. obviously, the Judd bill, al
though it did pass the House, will
remain pigeon-holed in the Senate
until the end OF the 8lst Congress.
Meantime, after conferences with
the clerks of both the House and
Senate subcommittee on Immigra-
ton and Naturalization, Masaoka
said he was advised that Sen. Pat
McCarran 3D., New, chairman of
the powerful Senate Judiciary Com
mittee, has asked his subcommittee
staff to prepare an identical bill TO
the one Rep. Walter introduced
last Monday.
The subcommittee staff said the
senator will introduce the measure
in the upper House as soon as he
returns TO Washington.
He originally was scheduled to
be back Monday, but his arrival
has been delayed by unseasonal
winter storms both in Nevada and
the Midwest. The senior Nevada
senator, reelected in November to
his fourth term in the Senate, pro-
badly will arrive here later this
week or early next week.
MaSaoka said that if Senator Nc
Carran does introduce a naturali-
cation measure in the Senate this
Or early next week, lit will greatly
enhance the possibility that a ma
turalization bill will be law before
the lame duck session ends"

Full Judiciary Body Receives Walter LegislatiOn
Approval of Bill Would Mean Action by the House

WASHINGTON. d. G. Dec. ,
! (ADCD - President Truman last
Tuesday included the Walter Nat
malization bill With legislation
which should be passed during the
lame duck Congress, IF possible,
according TO Mike Masaoka. nat
ional JACL Discrimination
Committee legislative director.
The White House issued the pri-
GRITTY list for legislation which the
President wants passed before the
8lst Congress goes home fer good.
Among six bills given greatest
urgency" listing We're those for
statehood for Hawaii and Alaska.
The President said statehood was
essential not only to the welfare
and security of Hawaii and Alaska,
but also to the security Of the nation
as a whole.
High on the agenda of other bills
which Congress was asked 10 pass
was naturalization for residents of
Asiatic origin. The Walter Nltu-
ralization bill, introduced Monday
as Fl. r. $3.50, is designed to do
just that.
The bill. promptly after introduc-
ion, was sent to the House Judi
ciary's Subcommittee on Immigra-
ton and Naturalization.
Rep. Francis F.. Walter. ID,
PENN who introduced the measure,
said he hoped the House would act
speedily This led to speculation
the bill might be acted upon during
the week by the lower chamber
But since the House is in adjourn
ment until Thursday, action pro-
badly will be delayed until next
week
In the same category as the Wal
ter Naturalization bill, the Presi-
dent also asked Congress for action
on such measures as. aid to medi-
cal education, aid to public health
units, general aid to education. home
rule TOR the District of Columbia,
and ratification of the Genocide
Convention.
The new Walter Naturalization
| bill reads simply that;
Section 1903 COT the Nationality
Act of 1910 is amended to read)
the right to become a naJuralized
citizen of the United States, sub
ject to the provisions Of this Act.
shall not be denied or abridged be-
cause of race: Provided That no
alien who, under law existing i'm
mediately prior to The enactment of
this section. as here amended, would
have been Ineligible to immigrate
to the United States because of race
shall become eligible for immigra-
ton to the United States by reason
of his section, as here amended"
Masaoka explained the bill is 50
worded TO permit naturalization
only of legal immigrants of Asian
origin but TO prevent any changes
in the present exclusion laws which
bar admission of all Asian immi-
grants except token immigration
from India. the Philippines and
| China.
Meanwhile, Sen Pat McCarran.
ID, New. who has announced he
may introduce a naturalization in
the Senate, still has not returned
to the capitol. He IS expected some
time this week. which probably
means that if he does Introduce
such a bill, it cannot be done before

tribute yesterday to the memory
of Frances Willard at ceremonies
at the Capitol commemorating the
SD anniversary of the temperance
leaders death.
Addressing members of the Dis
trict Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, which sponsored
the program, Representative Bry-
son praised Miss Willard as "a
brave true soldier, a great COM
mander and a kind and gentle
woman"
He recalled her work for tenn
perance, political enfranchisement
of women, equal rights for women,
vocational guidance for girls. edu-
cation for citizenship, an eight
hour day and minimum wage
laW-"ideals which in her day
were considered" he said, "the
rawlings of an impractical
dreamer"
Mr.. Bryson. who is sponsoring
a bill to prohibit liquor advertis-
ing, assailed those who still
clamor for booze even if there is
no bread He also attacked
those wicked influences which
vigorously oppose any restriction
of advertising the falsehood that
alcoholic beverages are good and
wholesome food"

lative director for the National

and read greetings from Repre-
sentative Rich, Republican, of
