I have read with great interest
the proposed Constitution for Al
aska which you sent me. This is a
charter worthy of a great state.
I congratulate the framers of
the new constitution for the vis
ion and grasp of the great princi
ples of a free government which
it reflects. Its Declaration of
Rights is a beacon of the liber
ties which men have struggled for
centuries to secure. ... I want
to note especially my strong en
dorsement of Section 8 on Na
tural Resources.
I think you have an excellent
Constitution. I congratulate you
on its brevity and its excellent
phraseology. As a delegate (Mis
souri Constitutional Convention,
1943-44) I was chairman of one
of our two committees on local
government, so I enjoyed that
article, especially your use of the
term “borough”.
