ICKES, FISHERIES,
STATEHOOD
“Last spring Harold L.
Ickes was one of four cabi
net members who reported
bimself as opposed to Dele
gate Dimond’s statehood
bill. Alaska, he said, is not
ready for statehood. Then
he proceeded to get her
ready.
“First step he took was
to see that the future state
doesn’t get hold of its fish
eries, which by law would
inure to it as in the case of
other American territories
when they became states.
And how did he proceed to
do this? By taking meas
ures to turn over a large
share of the fisheries to his
Office of Indian Affairs
which claims itself to have
a priority over all other
public agencies, federal or
state, as well as private in
dividuals wanting to make
a living. Through the vir
tual fiction of “aboriginal
rights’ which he doesn’t
care to have challenged in
an American court before
an American jury in the
typical American demo
cratic fashion, he hopes to
remove much of the Alas
kan fishery from the reach
of the people by whom it
would be inherited when
they chose to assume the
responsibility and privi
leges of statehood.
“Mr. Ickes is a very
clever fellow, too. He
knows full well that if the
office of Indian Affairs gets
control of half or more of
the Alaskan fisheries, they
will pay no taxes to the fed
eral government or to the
future state. And without

the revenue from this
source of income, there can
be /io state of Alaska, at
least in the immediate fu
ture.
“Thus Mr. Ickes, great
liberal that he is, kills two
birds with one stone. The
first bird is private enter
prise in these waters and
lands we of Alaska love.
The second bird is state
hood, the worthy aim and
ideal of any people the
way to attain the four free
doms for which this war is
being fought. To the mind
of Mr. Ickes neither of these
is so much to be desired as
an extension of bureau
cracy and enterprises to
manage for the benefit of
wards and what he deems
to be inferior people.—
