Glasha and Glashans take the
coming year with mospecto, to
too rosey for business prosperity.
The fact is that our future looks
much more bleak than it did in
many a prewar year.
The maritine commission is due
to turn over what is left of the
Alaskan tonnage to its firivate
owners on Dec. 31st. These private
owners claim, and we believe justly,
that they are unable to operate
at a profit under the added operating.
costs placed upon them in the last
few years.
That means that strike or no
strike, we won't have any boats
running to Glasha after sec. 31st.,
unless some governmental remedy ip
found.
what this will mean to us, has
been demonstrated this past two
months of no shipping.
The only solution will be a
subsidized service or the operat
ion of the boats either by the
Alaskan failroad or the Government
proper.
Alaska, as the most important
base in our scheme of national
security cannot be left in isol
ation.
The old sourdough says;
" Criticism is something
you can avoid by saying
nothing, doing nothing,.
and being nothing.
