ANOTHER SETBACK
(Continued from page 4)
giveway of natural resources in
the history of the country.” Smith
said he felt the bill is slanted very
much in favor of generosity to
Alaska.
He drew a reply from New
York’s Democratic Representative
O’Brien that provisions under
which Alaska be given the right to
select some 182 million acres for
use as tax base and other pur
poses were similar to grants made
to other states. O’Brien added the
bill was designed to “end the situ
ation where resources are lying
fallow and doing no good to any
one.”
Smith also objected because he
said Alaska’s small population
would have as much representa
tion in the Senate as Virginia’s
3% million. O’Brien replied he be
lieved New York “a great state
because we went along with the
smaller states which have contrib
uted to New York’s growth.”
The committee failed to get a
quorum in the afternoon, so the
discussion was put over until a
later date.

an effort to resolve the differ

Fishermen there have noted a
marked decrease in sales of their
product in the United States since
the question arose. Communists
have seized on the ill feeling en
gendered between the -two coun
tries, and are exploiting it in an
effort to bring the Japanese into
the Red orbit.
Russia, on the other 'hand, has
taken Japan to task for its North
