NEUBERGER AT IT AGAIN
Richard Neuberger, self-styled authority on the
cific Northwest and Alaska, has extended his field
include the Dominion of Canada. We of Alaska,
ig honored by Neuberger's articles, congratulate our
nadian neighbors who, we suspect, need Neuberger
:e Custer needed another Indian.
The following editorial from the Alaska Weekly
needs no amplification. We reprint it herewith:
UNWORTHY OP CONSIDERATION
, Mr. Richaid Neuberger, publicist, writer and mem
ber of the state legislature of Oregon, probably knows
more about more things than most of us ever hope
to learn. Currently he has blossomed out as an
authority on all things Canadian, and recently
informed the Vancouver Sun in, an interview granted
that publication that he had “seen more of Canada
than 99 per cent of her people.”
It will probably be a great help to goodwill and
it closer Joining of interests between the two great
[North American nations to have the great Neuberger
inform our Canadian friends that they are "silly in
their attitude on the subject of union.” "Why," said
Neuberger, “if I were tied to the back of a great bear
which was charging along, I’d sure want to have some
say as to where he was going." According to this
student of Canadian affairs and all-around pundit,
"As far as Canadians trying to avoid American influ
ence is concerned—well they just can't."
Naturally they can't, any more than we can avoid
Canadian influence. In our simple thinking we had
not known that either nation was trying to avoid the
influence of the other. Instead, we have been trying
to work more and more closely together, with each
nation according full consideration to the other in the
interest of both.
We do not happen to be Canadian, but if we were
we would not appreciate the patronizing attitude of
Richard Neuberger and we ate willing to go cn record
that it is an attitude which does not reflect the
thinking of any substantial number of the citizens
of the United States.
It may be that as history unfolds itself a union
of Canada and the United States will prove eco
nomically and politically desirable and it could con
ceivably develop that it will prove essential to the
security of the two nations. In the meantime we can
very nicely go along together with mutual respect
and confidence in the job of building a prosperous
and impregnable North America.
And, just by way of keeping the record straight,
if Mr. Neuberger's opinions concerning Canada are as
trustworthy as those he so volubly expresses concern
ing Alaska they do not merit consideration.
ALASKA BARGAIN DAY
Edward Keithahn was not being facetious when
he suggested to the Chamber of Commerce in his
Alaska Day address last Thursday that, since Alaska's
price of $7,200,000 was the biggest bargain in the
world, Alaska Day should be celebrated as Alaska
Bargain Day with Juneau merchants cooperating with
citywide sales.
October 18, midway between Labor Day and
Thanksgiving Day, would be an excellent time of the
year for promotion by merchants throughout the city
of a super special bargain day that would attract
people into town and into all of the stores.
Fairbanks has city-wide “bed rock” bargain days
that accomplish the purpose Mr. Keithahn suggests
and bring into Fairbanks, from the surrounding area,
people searching for bargains at "bed rock” prices.
Certainly, if Alaska Day were to become Alaska
Bargain Day, many people could absorb a little Alaska
history along with their bargain day purchases.
The Washington
Merry-Go-Round
(Continued from Page One)
defeat of the tax bill—namely, the
astute political strategy of cagey
'GOP leader Joe Martin of Massa
chusetts.
Joe was the mastermind behind
the almost solid block of Republican
votes against the tax bill. His offi
cial excuse was: “Less government
spending rathe* thanshigher taxes.”
His real reason: “The longer pass
age of a tax bill was delayed, the
more it would help the Republic
ans.”
Republicans are not shouting it
from the housetops, but what they
really wanted was a tax delay until
I next year, thus putting the Demo
crats in the embarrassing position
of passing an unpopular tax bill in
an election year—something the
party in power traditionally tries
to avoid.
SOUTHERN DEMO CHAIRMAN?
There’s a lot of talk among De
mocrats about getting away from
Ahe precedent followed under Roose
Velt of picking a big-city Irish
Jatholic as chairman of the Demo
atic National Committee. No re
ious prejudice is mixed up in this
rather geography.
’.outhern Democrats point out
t, no southernor has been chair
n of the national committee
.ice Cordell Hull in 1920. They feel
-iat it’s now vital to weld the party
together and woo rebellious Dixie
fat back into the fold.
/• This is one reason why able Wil
' on Wyatt, ex-mayor of Louisville,
■Ky., is being pushed for the Demo
cratic chairmanship.
Westerners also point out that
no one from their section of the
country lias led the Democratic
National Committee in a long time;
so are boosting ex-Congressman
John Carroll, one of the ablest men
recently to serve in Congress. An
ather westerner under considera
tion is George Killion of San Fran
ijjsco, former Democratic treasurer,
under whom there were no scandals.
Roosevelt’s reason for putting big
city Irishmen at the helm of the
party was partly because he con
sidered them shrewd politicians,
partly in order to swing the big-city
vote which is predominantly Cath
ilic. Thus, Jim Farley was followed
by Ed Flynn of the Bronx; Flynn
Iras followed by Frank Walker of
Scranton, Pa., and New York; then'
Hob Hannegan of St. Louis; who
was replaced by executive Director
Gael Sullivan of Chicago and How
ard McGrath of Providence, R. I.,
vho were succeeded by Bill Boyle of
ansae City—all from big-city areas.
Note—One eastern Irishman for
:.m President Truman has great
: onal regard is John Sullivan of
,w Hampshire, former Secretary
’V the Navy. "John is so conscien
ces,” Truman recently told a
Aend, “that he wouldn’t write
/rank Knox’s will until he resigned
Torn the treasury. He said he would
not accept outside work when he
was on the government payroll.”
(Sullivan was then assistant Se
;retary of the Treasury and Knox
was Secretary of the Navy. Both
came from Manchester, N. H.)
• WHITE HOUSE CLEANUP
#Pi c ident Truman has told trust
ed friends confidentially of his
plan to shake up the White House
staff as well as the Democratic
National Committee.
“I think we need some new faces
and new ideas in the White House,”
he said. “I’m just getting the same
old thoughts back again.”
He also added another interesting
angle.
“Whoever gets the nomination
next year,” he said, "shouldn't be
I handicapped by scandals at the
Democratic National Committee
that reach into the W hite House,
even if the publicity is exaggerated
by the newspapers.”
The President remarked that he 1
had decided Democratic Chairman
Bill Boyle should resign some weeks
ago, though Boyle’s friends had
pleaded with him against the move.
Finally, he called Boyle over and
said in effect: "I know you’ve been
complaining about your health. Be
fore we get into the campaign pre
liminaries, you’d better get a phys
ical checkup.”
Boyle took the hint.
TRUMAN LISTENED
Prior to this occurred an unpub
licized but stormy session at the
White House between Boyle and
Truman’s former counsel, Clark
Clifford.
For several months Clifford, now
a private attorney, had been urg
ing the President to clean up at
the Democratic National Commit
tee. Its top executives, Clifford told
his old chief, were squandering
^hundreds of thousands of dollars
of precious campaign funds and
achieving almost no results. Thev
had not even formed a research
staff to dig up information essential
for campaign speeches and Congres
sional debates. "You've got to get
rid of these peanut operators,” Clif
ford said in one session with the
President.
Clifford’s constant criticism fin
ally culminated in an evening ses
sion at Blair House when Truman
invited both Clifford and Boyle in
to talk the whole matter out.
Clifford repeated to Boyle his t
claims that the National Committee
was poorly managed and achieving
little. Boyle demurred, put up a hot
defense. Truman listened. Clifford
got caustic. Boyle got bitter. Fin
ally the President broke up the ar
gument. However, his decision to
ease out Boyle dated from that eve
ning.

Bulletins
British Prime Minister Clement
Attlee will make a final nationwide
campaign broadcast tonight. And
the Labor premier probably will de
vote most of the speech to a dis
cussion of foreign policy issues.
A pleasant day is forecast for
most of the United States today.
There are rainy areas—in a few
cases there is snow mixed with the
rain—in parts of Montana and
northern Minnesota. But in the
main good football weather is in
prospect.
The Federal Mediation Service
has entered the New York dock
dispute. The strikers, unhappy about
a recent contract, want negotia
tions reopened. Their wildcat strike
is spreading and soon may have the
New York harbor shut down tight.
Stalin has sent his best wishes
and given his moral support to the
North Korean regime. This is the
third anniversary of diplomatic re
lations between Moscow and Pyong
yang.
Chester Bowles arrived today in
New Delhi to assume his new role
as U. S. Ambassador to India. In
an airport interview, Bowles told
newsmen he would do his utmost
to clear up all misunderstandings
between the two countries.
