Editorial
IMPRESSION ALL WRONG
Faced by cold facts, the Alaska Indian is a .darn
sight better off than the majority of white folk. We don’t
■ begrudge them this but it does make one sick and
tired to continually listen to the reams of sobs in behalf
of Alaska’s “redmen.” Gateway readers know we have
ever treated the question with considerable latitude; we
have defended them many times and expect to again in
the future.
One hears of the alleged terrible condition of the
natives in Bristol Bay, and throughout the Westward in
general. Pure bunk! Where else in this wide world can
one find a place where they can make sufficient of the
socalled “filthy lucre” ,in one or two months time, tc
; suffice for the remainder of the year?
Where cannery men carry them on their books for
years, if need arises when fishing has been poor.
Where employers seek them out to give them work?
Where they are paid spot cash every night for the
[work accomplished that day?
Where no strings are attached to their money?
i Where, in case of want, or sickness, every consider
I ation is given to them?
Where they are paid as much as their white com*
I patriot?
Where conditions are such that natives have, under
the care of the canneries, been taught to save their
money, to build good homes, to live right and thus find
contentment and pride in their surroundings. One such
place is near Seward; at Karluck, where one of the fin
est plants in the world is located.
It is a poor native indeed,outWestward, who has no
power dory and all the necessities and luxuries desired
by the whites.
Every so often some ‘‘nut” of a newspaper scribe
| from the alleged civilization of the Outside, comes u£
here for a few weeks, looks the ground over with a rheu
matic eye, returns home and spreads it all over the lot,
It is about time for Alaskans to try to defend their
industries instead of turning the other cheek; and it is
also about time for Alaskans to begin cooperating with
j those who have invested millions up here in the hazard
ous fish packing business. This California competitior
is a more serious menace than is imagined.
