As the land .with a future. Alaska is slated for big
tilings!
let’s go about it in the right way, with self-govern
ment as a state, and with full representation in the
main body of the government of the entire Union.
W’Jth representative and senatorial votes as our equal
right with all -other states in the Union.
The war has in many ways brought things to light
which will bear with increasing force on the future
development of this Territory. Alaska has increased
in strategic value because of its geogrephic location,
relative to the majority of all other countries of the
globe, for air travel across the top of the world.
Much can be said of future possibilities. A’most
invariably, each day sees a book, story, article, or
speech on the relative value of Alaska..
New Jet’s lake the question into full consideration.
Let’s give each and everyone a chance to vote upon
it.
The Native vote may in part be influenced by the
support the original .Alaskans are now receiving from
the Department of the Interior, through its various
departments and services, but this could be overcome
by the fact that Alaska, the “State”, would be re
sponsible,for continuance of the Bureau of Indian Af
fairs, which covers all Eskimo, Aleut, and Indian resi
dents.
It seems that much would be gained by the change
to a state.
In spite of those who say that the Territory could
not support itself as a state, there would be increased
income to the state treasury, in some ways mere than
the additional expense incurred by the state.
The State of Alaska is inevitable!

DEFENSIVE
LONDON. Dec. 13.—(AP)—
Russian defenses rallied to one
of the mightiest continuing tank
battles of the entire war, lashed
out against the Germans attack
ing forces pounding toward Kiev.
1 and have retaken several ham
lets and killed 1,600 Nazis and
wrecked 25 more tanks.
Moscow said. 200 mile# south
the Russians announced the cap
ture of the town of Chigrin, on
i the northern end of their Kre
menchug bridgehead, and eigh*
more populated places, in their
drive on the industrial town of
, Kirovograd. Fighting was report
ed in the streets of Cherkasy,
five miles further north.
The Moscow communique gave
i new details on the battle in the
Kiev bulge as German Field
Marshal General Fritz Von Mann
stein tried vainly to break
through with almost 2.000 tanks
and many divisions of infantry.
In one sector the Germans at
tempted to break through several
times but the Soviet defenses
!f?ld firm. The Nazis left 660
dead in their retreat.
In another sector the Russians
evidently were countering and
took several populated centers
killing over 1,000 more Germans
and destroying 28 tanks and four
self-propelled big guns, and 40,
trucks.
The Red Army is using self
propelled guns of the 152-miLli
meter artillery to great success
against the fresh German tanks
reaching the battlelines.
DELEGATES IN
MEETING
SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 13—
LAP)—Despite the assertions of
delegates “we are now prepared
to go and demand a place in the
sun,’’ the two-day conference of
republicans in eleven western
states placed on record the dec
laration, and made little refer
ence to the demand that their
only specific request be that
[ western industries be given tine
s: me consideration and opportun
ity for retooling and reconvert
ing to post-war needs as the
eastern industries.
Fred Baker. Seattle, Washing
ton. national committeeman, pre
sided at the meeting.
Proposed expressions of foreign
policy and taxation for post-war
business, the regulation of or the
lack of regulation regarding so
cial welfare, wire tn evidence

declined to recommend them.
Delegates however did propose
