Secretary Krug
Will Support
Alaska Statehood
Juneau Alaska,
October 17, 1946
Honorable Julius A. Krug
Secretary of Interior
Washington, D. C.
Recent press story from Seattle
represents you favor statehood for
Alaska with mental reservation as
to Federal Government divesting
itself of control over salmon fish
eries until you get report from
Congressman Jackson’s sub-com
mittee on fisheries.
Can understand your giving
that phase of salmon industry
with headquarters in Puget Sound
area asurance careful considera
tion of its qualms, but point out
that Jackson is studying advisa
bility of extending Alaska said
item of home rule on a piecemeal
basis while Alaska is still a Terri
tory and is not seeking ways of
curtailing usual sovereign powers
in a grant of statehood. Alaska
has long had the right to tax the
salmon industry and has been
more than fair and would retain
this power under statehood. Alas
kans are conservation conscious
regarding great salmon resource
and in view of recently diminish
ing supply under Federal control
causing great concern would es
tablish control commission every
bit as responsible as a Federal j
agency, if not more so.
In behalf of the people of Alas
ka, as distinguished from corpo
rate operators and unions with
outside headquarters, I urge that
your valued support of Alaska
Statehood be full fledged.
RALPH J. RIVERS.
Attorney General of Alaska.
JUNEAU, Oct. 22 — Governor
Gruening has received the follow
ing telegram from Secretary of the
Interior Julius A. Krug:
“Alaska is to be congratulated
on its decisive expression through
popular ballot of a desire to obtain
self government. Please extend to
the people my earnest wish that
Alaska obtain statehood soon. I
will lend every possible support in
attaining that goal.”
