ALASKANS DAVE QttltVCNCE
AGAINST COUNTRY
Seattle Post-Iutellipencer'Says People of This
District Would Be Better Off if Under Ca
nadian Control Rather Than American
The telegraphic demand of the peo
ple of V aides upon the preside n that
Alaska be annexed to. Canada has cre
ated a great deal of interest throughout
the United States. Many of the lead
ing papers have commented upon it. All
of them that have been received ring- '
!
ingly condemn the rction of the con
congress in refuging to permit Alaska
to have an elective delegate in con
gress.
One of the strongest editorials on the
question was that of the Seattle Post
intelligencer. It says:
"The people of Alaska are bitterly
aggrieved at the refusing of the senate
of the United States to pass the bifl giv
ing Alaska a delegate In congress.
They have a legitiment and substantial
grievance.
"Malays, Negritos, MohammeJan
Moros, Sou h Sea islanders and the
mixed population of a former Spanish
colony, in which negro blood predom
inates. are all freely accordel by con
press privileges which are refused in
Alaska to white Americans of the best
stock in the country and of the highest
intelligence. Every mail inhabitant of
Porto Rico, of Hawaii or of the the
Philippines has a voice in his local gov
ernment.
"Alaska, alone, with a population
greater than half the present states in
the Union had at the time of admission,
is governed absolutely by congress and
the executive; its people have no voice
| in the election of a single official out
side of the limits of incorporated towns^
and congress refused it the poor privi
lege of selecting one of its citizens to
represent It In congress, without a vote .
i and merely to voice the wishes of the
people, that congress mi/ht legislate
intelligently on their behalf, as it has
rarely done heretofore.
"Of course, the people of Alaska have
a grievance, they havejin actual griev
ance, beside which those of the Amer
ican colonists who revolted against
Great Britain and thus laid the founda
tions of this government were insigni
ficant. There is not an equal number
of white people, under Anglo-Saxon
government anywhere in the world,
who are so completely deprived of all
its liberties enjoyed by other people of
their race and blood. No such system
of government would be tolerated for
a moment in any British colony of
white people.
"While con^rass refuses to
grant this email right to the people of
Alaska, across the border from them,
on the British Yukon, they can see a
very much srnalle. number of Canadi
ans living under a system of complete
local self-government, enjoying full re
presentation in the parliament of the
Dominion and having a voice in the
fram'rg of every federal law. Is there
wonder that the people of Alaska say,
as they do, that they would be better
off under the Canadian governmer t
than under their own'/ There ie not a
doubt about it. They would be. But
present conditions will not always re
remain as they are. Certainly some
time congress will awaken to the senti
ment of real Americanism and compre
hend what it is that is baing denied io
Americans citizens in Alaska, who have
none of the privileges of ci'izenship
save the I are name. Meantime those
who know the facts are ashamed of the
federal inaction."
