LEW WILLIAMS SPEAKS ON STATEHOOD
Lew Williams, former secretary of Alaska, in his column "The
Periscope" in his paper The Wrangell Sentinal, has started to say
some of the things we've been waiting for since his dismissal by
President Truman. We quote from the column:
... - ——
The Interior Department does control most of
Alaska and the man doing .the controlling for the last
eleven years as the department’s representative is Gov.
Ernest Gruening. Ernest is not a man who takes no for
an answer. His policy is rule or ruin, regardless of the
interests of Alaska.
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 blessing. Meanwhile, the depart
ment has followed an almost consistent policy of de
feating statehood.
More and more cooperative canneries which are
financed by the federal government and as a result
pay no taxes to the Territory. More and more coopera
tive stores in direct competition with private enter
prise. More and more reservations which are elimi
nated from possibilities of development, except under
government control, which usually means the Depart
ment. of the Interior. The point, of course, is to win
the favors of those who gain from government gener
osity, the votes for control of the Legislature, and
thus more control, and on and on in the vicious circle
which makes Alaskans dailv more and more the serfs
*/
of government.
Statehood, yes. And the sooner the better, if there
is to be anything left on which to build a state. Oppo
nents of statehood argue the cost will be great, and
they have a point. But is any cost too great to become
American citizens with full rights, rather than remain
ing colonists and wards of the Federal Government
through Interior Department control? j

< Communist Party
President Held
By Peron Party
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, (TP)
—The Communist Party’s presi
dential candidate in the Novem
ber elections, Rodolfo Ghioldi, was r
arrested Tuesday and held incom
municado in connection with Fri
day’s abortive Argentine revolt.
Many leaders in the opposition
Jafical, Nationalist, Socialist and
Conservative Parties previously
were reported under arrest.
Under a law declaring the exis
tence of a state of internal war,
police have banned political meet
ings. The Radical Party cancelled
a meeting scheduled for tonight
because of the law. However, the
regula tion did not stop the Peron
ista Party — supporting President 4f
Juan E. Peron for re-election —
from holding a big open-air meet- ^
ing here last night. Elections are
scheduled for Nov. 11.
Peron charged Monday the short
lived revolt had been planned by
former U.S. Ambassador Spruille
Braden and had been supported
by a segment of the Argentine
military. In New York, Braden
denied the charge.
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture says a balanced diet can
include as little as 39 pounds of
meat per year.
