“It is entirely immaterial to
us what the people want. We
will decide what they shall
have.”
How well do you know your
history? Were these words spo
ken by King George III in 1776?
Were they the words that tipped
the scale, that became the last
straw on the camel’s back which
so incensed our forefathers that
they waged a war to set free
the people of Thirteen Colonics
and established the greatest Re
public in the world?
Or was this sentence pro
nounced by Joseph Stalin and
the Politburo set up to control
a hundred million people onthe
European continent who are not
allowed to think for themselves?
No, My Friends, neither a
tyrant king nor a contemporary
dictator is guilty. They were
spoken by a member of the
C i v i 1 Aeronautics Board in
Washington, A SERVANT of
the people, in the capital city
of tiie country that is trying
so hard to prove to the rest of
the world that a democratic
government is the best govern
ment.
It is little wonder that just
such a statement irom a minor
government official is taken up
and enlarged upon by Commu
nistic peoples to disprove our
arguments for freedom of
speech.
Jack Scavenius, president of
Mt. McKinley Airways, Inc.,
makes the public statement that
the above quotation were the
exact words of Josh Lee. a mem
ber of CAB. Mr. Scavenius was
referring to his experience in
Washington where he went to
make a plea for the non sched
uled airlines so vital to the traf
fic of Alaska.
If this doesn't make the red
blood of every American born
citizen boil at fever pitch, then
there is something radically
wrong with us. The Non-Skeds
are the very life line of the
Territory, and CAB seems de
termined to snuff out that life
at its source.
Baranof's colonists had a
phrase to describe their situa
tion which was very similar to
our own. “Heaven is too high,
and the Czar too far away to
hear our cry.” Truly it seems
to us in Alaska that Heaven is
too high, and Washington too
far away, too deaf, too ignorant
of the truth, too militantly stub
born. to admit that one hundred
thousand Americans in Alaska
are capable of knowing what
they want and what is best for
them.

Notice To Shippers
A large scale building season is
rapidly approaching that may
thrust upon The Alaska Railroad
the greatest volume of freight
ever handled.
In order to help "level off*1 the
load and assure prompt service,
shippers are urged to take
advantage of slack shipping
months, namely January and
February, and ship now.
The Alaska Railroad is desirous
of providing the best possible
service. That aim can best be
met and shippers can be better
assured of receiving their freight
promptly if they immediately
bring their merchandise into the
Territory.
