BARTLETT ON THE SECOND DIVISION
Appearing before Congress last week, Delegate
Bartlett again spoke in behalf of the people of the
Second Division. We quote directly from the Con
gressional Record of February 20:
“Mr. Chairman, the people of Nome, for example,
are without any protection whatsoever. There was an
Air Force base established there during the war, one
which was continued for a time after the war, but
finally in 1950 that base was substantially closed. It
was a great mistake, I believe, for psychological as
well as military reasons. I urged very strongly at the
time and have urged since that there ought to be some
military defense in this great area of northwestern
Alaska to furnish at least a minimum of protection.
At about the same time the decision was made to
abandon the great bases in the Aleutians which had
been built up at such great cost and effort during
World War II. Thev were reactivated after Korea,
and I hope the time will never come when any plan
is again made to close them.”
It is heartening to know that the 12,000 American
citizens outside the perimeter of defense are not com
pletely the forgotten people and that they may some
day hope to share with other Americans the feeling
that they are part of the defense pattern of the
North American continent and not the target.
VIEWS AND REVIEWS
Our taxes are already eating up one - third of our
income. We are rapidly becoming a country of bureau
crats and pensionists. The same kind of country as
were those in Europe from which our immigrants
were so glad to escape.

It’s about time for the experts to start writing
about the results of the 1952 election, which they
usually foretell—one way or the other. In 1948 it
was the other.
Everybody should trade at home if possible but
nobody can buy something that they do not know is
being sold'here.

The “experts” are often wrong but they never
lose their standing as “experts.”

Statehood vs.
Colonialism
(AP Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (/P) — “State
hood vs. colonialism?”
This is the heading of a full-}
page advertisement published to
day in the Washington Post a few
hours before the Senate votes 'on
whether the Alaska Statehood Bill;
should be returned to committee.1
The ad stated the motion to
return the bill to committee “is
an undisguised attempt to kill all
chances of Alaska statehood at
this session” of Congress.
The ad was presented by the
Alaska statehood committee and
the Hawaii citizens committee for
statehood. A Hawaiian statehood
bill also is pending in the Sen
ate.
The Post, in its lead editorial,
said: “WThat senators ought to
understand quite clearly in the
vote today, is that if they should
vote to recommit the Alaska bill,
they would drag the Hawaii bill
with it.”
