WASHINGTON
Statehood and Commonwealth J
An intention to call Secretary j
of Defense Wilson to testify on
Alaska statehood was announced
this week by Senator Jackson of
Washington “in the event infor
mation requested by the commit
tee from the Department is not
forthcoming.”
The announcement was made
following the appearances this
week before the territories sub
committee of the Senate Interior
and Insular Affairs Committee of
Senator Fulbright of Arkansas
and Senator Monroney of Okla
homa, proper ents of common
wealth for the two territories.
Following the appearance last
week of James H. Douglas, Un
der Secretary of the Air Force,
before the committee, a letter was
sent to Secretary Wilson request
ing specific reasons for the posi
tion taken by Secretary Wilson in
a communication endorsing
Hawaii statehood but declaring
“the Defense Department believes
it would be in the interest of the
national security that Alaska re
main a federal territory for the
present.”
Both Senator Fulbright and
Senator Monroney advanced j
again their commonwealth pro- ■
posal in which Senator Smathers j
had joined in the 83rd Congress, •
a proposal which was defeated by j
the Senator 60 to 24 last year in j
passing the combined Hawaii and
Alaska statehood bill. The pro
posal submitted to the committee
would see the people of Hawaii
and Alaska vote on an act of Con
gress stating the “intent of Con
gress that the highest degree of
self-government within their res
pective areas be vested in the peo
ple and in their elective govern
ments” in what would be termed
“Commonwealths of the United
States of America.” Both Senators
stated that their proposal was
based Q.n their objections to state
hood because both territories
were not contiguous to the 48
States and that they believe there
would be over-representation in
the Congress based on under pop
ulation. Should the people of both
territories approve the act of Con
gress then a convention would be
called “to draft a constitution pro
viding self-government as a Com
monwealth of the United States
for the people of the Territory.”
Both Delegate Farrington of
Hawaii and Delegate Bartlett tes
tified in opposition to the propos
al stating their belief that so
called commonwealth status was
probably unconstitutional.
“One of the imponderables of
this commonwealth proposal,”
Delegate Bartlett declared, “re
lates to the fact that the amend
ment offered last year and defeat
ed expressed merely an intention
on the part of the Congress to
exempt Alaska and Hawaii from ,

the payment of federal taxes. It
expressed only an intention, to
grant additional powers of home
rule over and above those we now
possess. These intentions are
pretty vague expressions and es
pecially so because the Attorney
General of Hawaii last year wrote
a brief which was very persua
sive to me to the effect that the
Congress cannot constitutionally
diminish the status of an incor
porated territory, and both Haw
aii and Alaska are incorporated
territories. However desirable it
might be from the standpoint of
Alaska and Hawaii and from the
standpoint of the people of the
United States to confer common
wealth upon the territories in the
sense of exempting them from the
payment of federal taxes, that
cannot be done constitutionally.
. .. The commonwealth movement
in Alaska has been aggressively
conducted but has had very slen
der support from the public.”
The two Delegates pointed out
that Congress retains complete
control over the Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico and could impose
all existing federal taxes there
any time it so desired. As a mat
ter of face Delegate Farrington
and Delegate Bartlett clarified,
the tax situation in. Puerto Rico
was in existence before the Con
gress passed any commonwealth
legislation for Puerto Rico and
the only change made through
conferring commonwealth to the
territory which was never incor
porated as are Alaska and Hawaii
was to permit appointment of
local judges. ‘‘We want to share
all of the burdens and respon
sibilities of full citizenship,” Mrs.
Farrington stated. “We do not
want to get out of paying our
federal taxes.” Delegate Bartlett
stated that he was convinced
“Alaska would reject common
wealth by an overwhelming ma
jority and choose statehood.” He
declared, “We are ready to bear
the burdens and responsibilities
as well as enjoy the privileges of
statehood.”
George D. Riley of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor urged
immediate granting of statehood
in both territories. “While the
President has said nothing resem
bling his previous remarks upon
Alaska statehood,” Mr. Riley
stated, “we recall what he said
in 1950 while still president of
Columbia University. It was
'Quick admission of Alaska and
Hawaii to statehood will show
the world that America practices
what it preaches.’ Those words
are good enough for us. All we
ask now is fulfillment. We ask
you to help the President stand
by his own words.”
