The editor of the Anchorage
Daily Times waxed hot under the
collar and became vociferous last
Saturday over the words of a cer
tain Postal Inspector who wished
to “set. our thinking straight."
The unfortunate inspector who
loosed the floodgates of wrath
upon his relatively unimportant
I head is probably still wondering
what it’s all about and doesn’t
realize that his statement was sim
ply the exasperating culmination
of a long line of similar attempts
to tell us where and why we are
all wrong.
We all agree wholeheartedly with
the thought behind the editorial.
For years our people have been
j thinking straight and steadily to
[ ward one ultimate goal, that of
[Territorial development and pros
perity.
The Federal Government and
Stateside interests continue to send
uninformal representatives,to Alas
ka to “set us straight.” We are all
thinking, and have been thinking
for years. What is more, our think
ing is bearing fruit in action. We
are building—building a State
which will be an asset to the
Union. That we are building alone
and without the aid of the Union,
and in spite of an uncooperative
attitude in Washington, will be to
the advantage of Alaska because
it adds strength and force to our1
thinking.
Therefore, let them keep their
thinkers at home unless they can
Rive us something constructive.
We can think for ourselves and
we can keep it “straight” because
the people of Alaska know what
they want and expect to accom
plish by straight thinking.
