Questions & Answers
On Price Controls
Q: “If prices are supposed I
to be controlled, why do we
see so many increases in some
items especially, foods?’’
A: Certain increases are
legal, such as farm products
which are presently below
parity, and also manufactured
products which have risen to
allow for material and labor
costs since last June. These
increases reflect in Alaska
several months after being
put into effecc in the states,
due to the shipping lag.
Q: “What was all the talk
about rollbacks? Would they
lower prices any?” I
A: Until June 30, most state)
manufactures were in the pro-i
cess of recomputing their j
costs according to pre-Korean i
standards, and would have)
been allowed only increases to i
take care of abor and materia
costs. Thus any manufacturer
who took a higher profit than j
permitted under this formula

flea laska needs more, diversified industries. New enterprises
in the Territory would mean more population, year-round
employment, a stabilized economy.
The Alaska salmon industry—historically the Territory’s largest
and its heaviest taxpayer—has a personal stake in the future of Alaska.
For that reason, the industry ivould very much like to see these new
industries come to Alaska.
Because of extremely short periods when the runs of salmon
occur, the salmon industry is seasonal. Right now, for example,
the industry Is preparing for the Southeastern season that opens
on August 6.
1 . Only with new, diversified industry and its impetus on migration
tan Alaska really prosper. This is a real challenge that demands
action and encouragement from all of us.
