Exit Fiction, Enter Fact
Every candidate for public office has a real responsibility to the public. If he fails
to accept it the public is entitled to know.
His desire for votes has led the Republican nominee for Delegate to Congress to make
reckless charges not based on fact. The Committee to Re-Elect Delegate Bob
Bartlett does not intend to allow these misrepresentations to go unchallenged.
The Committee intends to nail them for the fabrications they are. YOU be the
judges. Learn the fads. Then decide if you want a Delegate such as Bob Bartlett
who has worked diligently for you for eight years without fanfare, but effectively,
or a man whose campaign is founded only on reckless, wild criticism.
THE FICTION—In full page newspaper advertisements the Republican candidate
alleges: "I have warned you the Democratic Party has sold out our fisheries to a
foreign nation." And he offers "proof" by printing a newspaper article saying that
Japanese fishing boats arrived n Tokyo from the North Pacific with 66 tons of
salmon. This is part of the Republican nominee's campaign started last winter
to assail the Japanese fishing treaty.
, !
THE FACT—The Japanese have voluntarily entered into an agreement NOT to fish
for salmon east of the 175th meridian, whifch means our salmon ARE PROTECTED.
The expedition went close to the meridian but did not cross it; they caught no fish ;
there and then proceeded to RUSSIAN waters where the salmon were presumably j
, caught. Our law enforcement agencies know ALL about this expedition. The
Japanese fishing treaty PROTECTS Alaska salmon, halibut and herring from Jap
fishermen. The treaty was inspired and approved by John Foster Dulles. Mr. !
Dulles, not the Republican nominee for delegate, will make Republican foreign !
policy. In a letter to Delegate Bartlett, Mr. Dulles gave his unqualified endorse
ment to the treaty. The treaty was ratified by the United States Senate. It was
ratified after hearings were held before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
It was endorsed by the Alaska Board of Fisheries, the Game and Fish Commissions
of Washington, Oregon and California, and many other organizations and individ
uals. It was endorsed by the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc., which would not likely
assent to a treaty that would curtail its salmon supply. The Republican nominee
for Delegate, after abusing the treaty and everyone who stood for it, did NOT
take the trouble to go before the Senate Committee and make his views known.
He didn't even write a letter! The treaty was opposed only by Seattle labor unions
described as left-wing.
THE FICTION—In full-page newspaper advertisements the Republican nominee
alleges the Democratic Administration appeases the "Communists by importing
their furs in competition to our trappers." His "proof" is a newspaper article saying
1.400 bales of fox valued at $1,000,000 originating in Russia had reached Montreal
for trans-shipment to New York. The Republican candidate then says in his ad:
"You sold your rats for about 80 cents this year because of the import of 3.000,000
Communist rats in 1952."
THE FACT—The Democratic Administration in the 81st Congress sponsored legisla- •;
tior., which is now law, banning importation of furs from Russia in competition
wth those trapped or grown in the United States. That law became effective in
January of this year. The fur thus banned CANNOT BE SHIPPED to the United
States direct from Russia or INDIRECTLY by way of another country. The British
American Fur Corporation of New York to which the "1,400 bales of fox" were
shipped announces the fur was not fox but Persian lamb. Persian lamb is not
produced in this country. Before the January deadline Russian muskrats number
ing 89,840—NOT 3,000,000!—were received in the United States. Those were the
last muskrats that will come from Russia because your Democratic Administration
has stopped this traffic. So the Republican nominee missed by only 2,910,160 «!«««
And he neglected to tell you he is tilting against a windmill no longer there!
THERE'S ANOTHER STORY WHICH NEEDS TO BE TOLD. IT HAS TWO VER
SIONS. ONE WAS GIVEN IN FEBRUARY. 1952. IN FAIRBANKS WHEN THE
CANDIDATE WAS ACTIVELY RUNNING FOR OFFICE. THE OTHER WAS
GIVEN IN ANCHORAGE IN SEPTEMBER, 1951. IN HIS CAPACITY AS OWNER :
OF A CERTIFICATED AIRLINE HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED BY THE GOVERN
MENT HE NOW ACCUSES OF BEING "SOCIALISTIC." (THE SUBSIDY
AMOUNTED TO $230,000 LAST YEAR).
In Fairbanks he said of bush flyers and non-sked airlines: "I am in favor of non-skeds
and operating as many public carriers as will be of beenfit."
In Anchorage, before he became politically ambitious, he said: "To me it's the whining
and sniveling and bleating and blubbering of a poor loser. For years they've
been scraping the gravy off the airline business in Alaska, all the time breaking
the laws."
WHICH IS FACT. WHICH FICTION? YOU DECIDE.
In case the Republican candidate gets excited about the new immigration law, which
would treat Alaskans going to the States as aliens, let us remind him now this was i
NOT an Administration measure. It was vetoed by President Truman. His veto was
over-ridden by the familiar coalition of Republicans and Southern Democrats.
The Committee to Re-elect Delegate Bob Bartlett is glad to have this opportunity
to separate truth from phantasy.
A PUBLIC INFORMED ON THESE ISSUES WILL
DEMAND FACTS, NOT FICTION, FROM THOSE
WHO SEEK TO SERVE THEM IN GOVERNMENT
Sponsored by the Committee to Re-elect
Delegate Bob Bartlett
Vote For Bob Bartlett!
