WITH A SOLID DEMOCRATIC HOUSE AND
SENATE THE SECOND DIVISION IS BOUND
TO BENEFIT — VOTE DEMOCRATIC!!
P L A T F O R M
Geared to the needs of the Second Division, endorsed by the
Democratic candidates of the Second Division in the forthcoming
primary election:
1. DEFENSE OF NORTHWESTERN ALASKA
In view of existing relations with our neighbor across the
Bering Sea, and apparent trends to draw away defense installa
tions in this area, we pledge ourselves to work through memoran
dums or any other available means to achieve security from the
military establishments.
2. STATEHOOD
We feel that since after eighty years of apprenticeship the
people have willed for Statehood, and Congress is benevolently
inclined, we cannot but represent that this Division will welcome
Statehood.
3. RESERVATIONS
We oppose any attempts by the Federal Government to make
reservation wards out of our free Eskimo citizens in the Kobuk
area.
4. EQUAL RIGHTS
Our American creed of equality for all, regardless of race or )
color, demands that we strictly support the Non-Discrimination
Act as the means to insure full participation by our Native citizens
in the economic opportunities here.
•
5. BUSINESS
We urge that the Federal Government stay out of private
business. Merchandise supplied through government- sponsored
stores costs Native customers'more than in private establishments
which are essential to a healthy growth of the country.
6. LIQUOR
In line with above we do not want to see even our Territorial
government enter the wholesale or retail field, but we believe in
self-policing of the industry to do away with any known abuses.
7. ROADS AND AIRFIELDS
As the most crying need for the Second Division we pledge
that we will leave nothing undone to cause the Legislature at
Juneau and Federal Agencies to give us a network of roads and
improve our airfields, things which were neglected in years past
and must be remedied to enable us to open up our unaccessible
natural resources.

NEWS IN BRIEF
(Continued from Page One)
bridge Colby, last secretary of
state under President Woodrow
Wilson, died last night. He was 80.

Truman "‘Happy
Warrior** After
Five Years Seryiee
WASHINGTON, (A*)—President'
Truman ends his fifth year in of
fice today in what his friends de
scribe as a confident, happy-war
rior mood.
The sun-tanned President, fresh
from a vacation in Florida, appar
ently is ready to carry to the peo-1
pie a counter-offensive against
Republican attacks on his secre- i
tary of state and other GOP as
saults.
Picturing the President as in |
vigorous health, Senator Lucas of |
Illinois, the Democratic leader,}
gave a reporter this description of j
Mr. Truman.
“He is confident and in a nappy ]
frame of mind. He thinks condi-1
lions throughout the country are
good. He thinks world problems
are not insolvable. He is ready to
fight for his program.”
A Republican reaction to Mr.
Truman was expressed by Sena
tor Brewster of Maine, chairman
of his party’s Senatorial campaign
committee.
“We wish Mr. Truman—but not
his program—a long life,” Brew- ;
ster said. “We still consider him j
the Republicans’ best asset.”
