Entered as second class matter October 14. 1943, at the
post office at Nosv.e, Alaska, under Act of March 3, 1879.
Welcome Democrats . . .
¥1AIN SNOW OR SHINE, the red carpet is out today to wel
come the Governor of Alaska, the former Governor of Iowa
and state leaders of the Democratic party of Alaska as they gather
here to hold their Second State Convention.
Our visitors come from all parts of the wonderful 49th State.
Those who have not been to Northwestern Alaska before will
see for themselves the vast unexplored area separating this part
of the State from the more populated areas. A better understand
ing of the need for a road from Fairbanks and Anchorage will
result as roads will not only develop more of the State but any
road to this area means more business for all other parts of the
State too.
If the weather is clear today when the Democrats arrive or
clear on Sunday when they leave, these Alaskans from central
and southern parts of the State may have a chance to glimpse
our unfriendly neighbor to the east. If so, they cannot fail to
wonder why the military has procrastinated so long in protecting
this coast in some way instead of making invasion an invitation
We are sure this convention, bringing together loyal Alaskans
from all over the state, will be another milestone in unifying and
understanding each others problems.

Criticism for
Test Resumption
By j. M. Roberts
The volume of recrimination
against American resumption of
atmngnherje nuclear tasting ia less
than was expected.
Most voluble so far, along with
the Communists, are students anc
young people run of iaeziism, but
not so full of knowledge or mature
judgment.
The Kennedy Administration ob
viously feels that it has done a good
job of making It clear the Soviet
Union forced test resumption by
breaking the informal moratorium
which began in 1958, and by stand
ing on its non-existent honor rather
than agree to a treaty with any
real safeguards against further
violation.
The Soviet actions throughout
have been one of the most macabre
jests in history, and many state
ments from abroad indicate wide
txnderstanding.
'
ivnyooay can understand, too,
the Japanese reaction against nu
clear weapons, after what they
brought upon themselves in 1945.
It is harder to understand why
residents of nations with long
ocratic traditions will commit
themselves to a line which is
parallel to that of the Communists,
a line by which the Soviet Union
has hoped to impose restrictions
on the individual spirit which
would be far more galling to free
men than death by any sort of
means.
The arms race is regrettably in
tensified, and the propaganda war
will reach a new peak.
The United States, as Secretary
of State Dean Rusk so clearly ex
plained it Thursday, intends to
make rational decisions for war an
impossibility. The uses to which
the Soviet Union intends to put
its new weapons are not known.
Everyone would like to believe it
when they saw the same thing, but
everyone can believe it, in view
of long-standing Communist avow
als of expansionist intent.
