Paul Says Alaska
Natives Opposed
To Reservations
(Juneau Empire)
Sentiment among the Native
people is against reservations, ac
cording to William L. Paul, Sr.,
who returned recently from a trip
to Angoon, Hoonah, and Tenakee.
“From 80 to 90 per cent,” is the
was Paul judged the opposition to
reservations in the towns he vis
ited.
“However, I understand that
sentiment among the Native peo
ple of Sitka may be in favor of
reservations,” Paul observed.
In Kake a vote showed, 97
against reservations, 9 in favor of
reservations and 7 neutral, ac
cording to Mr. Paul.
At the recent convention of the
Alasa Native Brotherhood and
Sisterhood at Craig, a resolution
was passed endorsing the extin
guishing of Indian titles by nego
tiation with the Secretary of the
Interior, Mr. Paul said.
The resolution passed against
j War Risk Insur
ance A Possibility
(By Mary Lee Council)
The possibility of a one billion
dollar government program for
war risk insurance was advanced
when the House committee on
banking and currency reported
legislation favorably to the House
to re-establish the War Damage
Corporation.
The bill would provide for in
surance protection through July
1, 1955. to cover loss or damage to
property caused by enemy attack
statehood at the convention was
based on the anti-reservation re
striction in the present statehood
bill, Paul explained, “that is,” he
said, “from the standpoint that a
restriction of any kind ascribed to
the pendency of the statehood
action is not adequate.”
Paul made the trip to the vil
' lages with the Salvation Army on
• their motor ship, the William
Booth.
or action by troops of the United
States repelling enemy attack.
The corporation would operate
through Reconstruction Finance
Corporation financing with all in
surance protection to be paid for,
a stipulation designed to prevent
recurrence of events of the early
part of World War II when some
government insurance was pro
vided without cost.
The insurance protection under
the terms of the bill reported to
the House would be limited to the
48 States, the Territories, the pos
sessions of the United States and
the Canal Zone. As originally in
troduced, one provision would
have extended the program to
places “under the dominion and
control of the United States”
which was interpreted by some as
being occupied areas, such as
Japan and Germany.
Considerable doubt has been ex
pressed that the legislation will be
enacted by the 81st Congress
which gives way to the 82nd Con
gress on January 3.
