On the day He chose His apos

whenever His eyes fell on the man,
Jesus saw death come closer.
After three years, Jesus set His
face like fline to go to Jerusalem,
there to die, under your sins to
clear you.
At Jerusalem, came the night of
the Last Supper and Jesus turned
to Judas to tell him to act and
be quick about it. Judas hurries
out to find the officers and betray
Jesus over to them for those 30
pieces of silver.
Yes—Jesus suffered pain as
they nailed Him on the cross. But
His real suffering was His an

pains of hell and suffered them
to clear you. He came under your
death sentence. From your first

The Forum
Ocean of Pulp . . .
Shading the slopes between
gray water and snow peaks along
the fairer part of Alaska’s coast
line nearly 34,000 miles are for
ests of hemlock and spruce. In
the Alaskan national forest alone
there is more than 85 billion board
feet of sawtimber., In terms of
pulpwood, the forest resources of
that Paul Bunyan of America ter
ritorial possessions is a green
ocean of raw material. Despite
the urgent expanding demand for
pulp and paper throughout the
world, the prospects for an in
crease of its production in Alas
ka are dim.
The prospects for development
of Alaska’s other natural re
sources are likewise none too
bright. The reasons are made
clear in Dick Neuberger’s article,
“What’s Wrong With Alaska?”
in the current issue of Reader’s
Digest. It is the dictatorship of
the federal bureaucracy that s
wrong with Alaska. Tough charges
are made against the corpora
tions who operate up that way
by Mr. Neuberger. I’ve heard
similar blasts against the unions
which operate in Alaska. The
plain and simple fact remains
that all private enterprise is in
Alaska only on sufference from
the bureaucracy.
The federal
government must bear the blame
for the blundering and plundering
in Alaska, from the time of Bar-
anoff to Ickes.
Baranoff, by the way, was a
Russian (czarist) bureaucrat. Ickes
is, or was, one of ours. Each
stands as a prime specimen of
dictatorship in government.
The Curse on the Land . , .
Dick Neuberger does a brave
and true job of exposing the ty
rannical power that was exerted
on and against Alaskans by
Ickes. But it was not just the
man—it was, and it remains, the
system. The Reader’s Digest
article does not reveal the fact
that most vital importance in
the Alaskan tragedy—for tragedy
it is. The fact is the war be
tween the interior department and
the department of agriculture.
The article states, “The real ruler
of Alaska is the U.S. secretary
of the interior.” This is true, ex
cept that immeaaurably valuable
resource, the 85 billion feet of
sawtimber on the 25 million acres
of the Alaskan national forest.
The national forests are under the
U.S. forest service, which is a
division of the department of ag
riculture.
Henry Wallace was yet secre
tary of agriculture when Ickes
went into open battle to capture
the forest service and carry it
over to the interior department.
The old curmudgeon was beaten
back. But the war goes on. The
helpless Alaskans are victims of
it, as people of a land on which
two foreign armies are in con
flict. There are also endless bat
tles between the bureaus of the
interior depart/nent and Alaska.
Mr. Krug may bring peace to his
own department, but it will take
a long time. And it will take
many, many years to heal the
breach between interior and agri
culture.
There is just one thing that the
whole pack of bureaucrats up
yonder can get together on, and
that is opposition to statehood for
Alaska.
Toll of Freedom . . .
Just the other day I sat in at
a meeting of a group of North
west leaders with leaders of pri
vate enterprise from Alaska. It-
was an educational experience.
My one contribution to the meet
ing was a suggestion that every
body in the Northwest should be
given the information that was
presented to the meeting—that a
campaign of public information
on Alaska should be put on in
Washington and Oregon.
No ons objected. But the re
sponse was passive and had a pe
culiar quality that puzzled me un
til I’d thought it over.
In Alaska, as in any other ter
ritory or nation ruled by a dic
tatorship, people do not meet pri
vately and talk and plan cam
paigns of public information. That
is a function of the government
and its agents wherever the
government owns the land and
runs the works.
I was suggesting revolution!
For less than that men have been
shot.
