Skipper Larsen
Did It Again

Charles Larsen is the skipper
Of the best boat in the Seattle
Port of Embarkation fleet. He has
a certificate from Brig. Gen. Fen
ton S. Jacobs, port commander,
to prove it.
Larsen grinned with satisfaction
as General Jacobs gave him one
Certificate of Achievement re
Gently for having the best overall
vessel in the harborcraft fleet and
another for having the best deck
department.
Larsen's craft carries the un-
imaginative name of BSP-1922.
That means it's self-propelled
barge, but actually it carries
freight or works as a tug with
equal ease.
The same honor was bestowed
on him last year.

SPOILS SYSTEM

SPOILS SYSTEM
AS TIME DRAWS NEAR for the change Of administra-
ton in Washington, excitement in the Islands is beginning to
heighten. Local bigWigs and others are already sharpening
their wits-and weapons-for what is to come and to make the
most Of it. Excitement is running high because for the first
time locals believe their voices will be heard, and that. they
may exercise influence to the extent that they may call the
cards.
CARE MUST BE taken lest two things happen. First,
that there be no mad scramble for high level positions based
entirely upon political patronage and personal ~prejudices
totally unrelated to meeting the needs Of these Islands Local
politicians, while they occupy a place Of some importance,
must not allow that position to be used il an adverse and
negative manner. Because we must still struggle to face most
>1iticaI problems here at home, the first and most important
duty of these politicians is to make sure that only the most
capable and conscientious persons be assigned to positions
Of responsibility. In other words, the welfare of the entire
group should Be the first consideration in any political APP
pointment.
SECOND, LOCAL politicians must brace themselves lest
they fail to get all they dream about. While men everywhere
are working fol, and have seen the light Of self government,
and the world is electric, with demands for recognition on a
basis Of absolute equality, economics still play a most imPor-1,
tant part. In other words, 50 long as there is dependence on.
Tic. Congress for such aid, the major voice ia debating policy
will naturally rest with that body. And SO long as that IS inc
case, appointments must 60 through that channel Whether
the new administration viii move further along the road to
self determination is ~anybodys guess. It would Be Just as easy
for the governor to be a retired businessman who feels that
he still wants 70 serve in some capacity, or 4 young faithful On
the way up, and who could use the position as an excellent
stepping stone.
THERE is NOTHING ion-clad which says that 4 native
MUST be governor, nor IS there any moral Or other obligation
on the part Of tie new administration to follow what the out.
