Communication
Juneau, Alaska, Nov. 23
To Antonio Polet,
Nome, Alaska.
After conferring with Governor
Saturday in Seattle and Rivers
here I sent the following telegram
to Lands “The Alaska Develop
ment Board, composed of mem
bers from every judicial division
in the Territory of Alaska, and
who are committed to the promo
tion of Territorial industrial ex
pansion:
“Demands in behalf of the peo
ple of Alaska that currently
scheduled hearings on the pro
posed water freight rate increases
from the United States to Alaska
be postponed for a minimum of
six months. Proper study of rate
structures is impossible in the
short time allowed by present
hearing schedules. Existing high
freight rates render industrial
expansion within the Territory,
and as such, will constitute a
crime against the pioneer citizens
of a developing country, as well
as against thousands of returning
veterans and home seekers
throughout the United States who
look to the north as a last frontier
and promised land. With these
things in mind this board refuses
to attempt any argument without
proper time for consideration of
the protests which the seriousness
of the situation demands.”
Governor urged me to seek ap
proval this text. Rush advice.
