mittee of Congress has it on me agenda for some future time, or, a simple T didn't know about it."
 The Delegate to Congress, as provided for under the Organic Act, is the only man who had the power to go in and demand. He may not succeed in his demands, being a non-voting member of the Con- gress, but he should at least be in there batting for the people of Alaska. There is more and more indication from Washington that Delegate Bartlett has become more of a representative of the Interior Department than the people of AL aska. If this be true, it may we'll be that Bartlett has fulfilled his usefulness as Aaska's Delegate.
 Before We wind up this column and get back into the printers ink, this oldest continuously pub ished newspaper in Alaska wants to add a word of approval to the appointment of Judge Joseph w Kehoe of Nome as the new Secre- tary of Alaska. As an Alaskan who has lived in virtually every part oi the Territory he will have sound working knowledge of Alaskl's problems. and as an individual he will add credit and dignity to tht office. The very best of luck tc you, sir. L.W.
 (Ed note: Look, the boss car sign his name-he doesn't worE for Uncle Sugar anymore. Anybody got a job for a young ex-couatry editor? Would prefer something like the goyernment-lots of money and pretty girls-but without tht threat that an ex-bankrupt clothing merchant may fire me.

Has The Delegate Lost His Usefulness

Alaska has in Congress one non voting Delegate, the only repre- sentative of the people of the Ter ritory on the national level. At the present time it is F. L. Bob" Bartlett. an Alaska boy who had quite a job cut out for himself when he followed in the footsteps of Judge Anthony J. Dimond. cer- tainIy one of the outstanding men that Alaska ever sent to Congress.
 For time Bob appeared to be in there fighting for the Territory. He was, as many commented, mea- surfing up. But more recently there has been in evidence the feeling where's Bartlett" when matters come up effecting the welfare of Alaska. More letters have been ar living in the Territory from the Delegates office reporting that this department or that hasn't gotten around to it." or this or that com

Interior Control

Interior has for a long time given lip service to statehood for Alaska. It has even been able to get the President to add his bless ing Meanwhile. the department has followed an almost consistent policy of defeating statehood.
 More and more cooperative can neries which are financed hy the federal government and as a result pay no taxes to the Territory. More and more cooperative stores in direct competition with private enterprise. More and more resarya- tfons which are eliminated from possibilities of development, except under government control. which usually means the Department of the Interior. The point, of course. Is to win the favors of those who gain from government generosity: the votes for control Of the Legis- lature. and thus more control and on and on in the vicious circ'a which makes Alaskans daily more and more the serfs of government.
 Statehood, yes. And the sooner the better, if there is to be any thing left on which to build a state. Opponents of statehood argue the cost will be great, and they have point. But is any cost too great to become American citizens with full rights, rather than remaining colonists and wards of the Feder- al government through Interio- Department control,
