Few people realize what a lot of

out. Since it-Jiss grown*tb 5 fcheets
it takes no less than twb hours’ to

should be allowed for stapling and.
assembling. The memeograph must
be fed bp hand one sheet at a time,
which means at least 2500 sheets
put through individually.- This does
, not allow for cleaning sheets and
extras for replacing spoiled ones.
That is why it is so necessary to
have long articles in by noon at

In a joint statement issued by
Delegates Joseph R. Farrington, of
Hawaii, and E.L. Bartlett, of Alaska

thb joint 'resolution introduced in
the Rouse last week by Rep. Cole of
;New York;. •' • '
This resolution would transfer >;
civil administration of,Alaska and
Hawaii* as well as Puerto Rico, the
Canal lone and the Virgin Islands,
■to the Navy Department.
l,I am confident that nearly every
•Alaskan would oppose such transfer”,
jsiad Delegate Bartlett in a supple
mentary statement* "To place a
(department of the Government whose
Iprimary concern is with national
defence in charge of Alaska's civil
ian government would effect’vely

Critical as many of us hav been cf

jthe suggested change were made we
jwould have good reason to look upon
the experience of the past *ad 'the
igood old days', .If wo are to be
governed by a military arm of the
(Government then perhaps we all
iwould be wards and a 11- occupants on

Naval reservation.”
Delegate Bartlett strongly urged
Ithat every effort be exerted to or
