following morning.
The Alaska trip will mark the
culmination of plans laid by a
committee headed by Wallace
Campbell, a member of the Board
of Trustees of the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce, which was
named last year by Moyor William
F. Devin of Seattle'to consider
the possibilities of a Gold Rush
celebration in Seattle
After lengthy consideration, the
suggestion for a Seattle observ
ance was abandoned, principally
because of the fact that Alaska it
self would undoubtedly play* a
comparatively small part in such
a show.
The committee, however, con
tinued its efforts and finally set
tled upon a plan to send the Glee
Club north in commemoration of
the Gold Rush days and as a sal
ute to Alaskans. M. Dederer, vic®
president of the Seattle Chamber,
was named head of a group to
raise funds, and Seattle business
men quickly responded with suf
ficient funds to underwrite the ■
entire tour.

Senator Morse <R-Ore> said “the
new program contains much of
merit. I think the American peo
ple should realize, before it’s too
late, that Alaska is our first line
of defense in the west.”
Chairman Butler <R-Neb> of the
Senate Committee on interior and
insular affairs also found “much
in the message which I heartily
endorse.” But he added:
“Coming at this late day, near
the close of the session, I suspect
the message is closely akin to a
campaign speech. Our committee
has worked very hard to do every
thing possible to open Alaska for
development and will continue
doing all we possibly can to ac
complish that objective.” j
Senator Magnuson <D-Wash>
called it “the first comprehensive
message sent to Congress setting
forth the legislative need for de
