PRESIDENT'S ALASKA VISIT—NOW OPPORTUNE
Last year it was announced President Roosevelt had de
clared his intention to visit Alaska before the expiration ot
his present term of office.
The summer of 1935 offers the most favorable oppor
tunity for such a visit. Next year the nation will be in the
throes of another presidential campaign. This year the pres
ident will be free from the vexations and details of such a
distraction.
More major federal projects for Alaska are now pend
ing than ever before. These have many phases of national
bearing and importance. Not a few of the policies involved
will be passed up to the president.
If he comes this summer he will be able to view the Al
askan situation for himself and make sound, safe and wise
decisions in matters of fundamental importance. Much
with which he will deal respecting Alaska may have a great
deal to do with the success of his administration and a bear
ing on the outcome of the 1936 campaign
The fixing of air bases, expansion of naval, army de
velopment and other programs in Alaska all come within
the purview of the president, and the Dimond bill now be
fore congress for establishment of army air posts for Alaska
provides the president have the power to choose the base
or bases. He will be far more able to choose wisely if he
first comes and sees Alaska.
The voyage to the Northland will have a two-fold ad
vantage to the president- He will be able on the tour of the
Northland to have the restful period aboard ship, sailing
through the inland seas of the Alaska archipeligo, coming
and going. He can indulge along the coast in his favorite
sports of yachting and fishing and will find Alaskan waters
a new7 phase of these sports which ever will be to him a treas
ured experience
The president will find in coming among Alaskans the
open door and a hospitality unequalled in any land—and
what is more, he will find Alaskans are regular fellows, not
inclined to monopolize his time or crow7d in upon his privacy
when he needs rest. They will welcome him heartily and
then go about their business happy in the thought he is
among them and has come to view personally this great poss
ession of Uncle Sam's so pregnant w7ith possibilities—an
empire within itself, and one of the most marvelous potential
assets of the nation
Mrs. Roosevelt will be equally welcomed bv Alaskans,
and here she will find a new interest in her active career

which will fit her for far greater influence and service. The
president and Mrs Roosevelt found no visitor to Washington
more interesting than “Slim” Williams, a symbol of the true
Alaskan They have found a warm and interesting friend in
Delegate Dimond. Now is the opportunity for them to
know first hand the people and the land from which these
two interesting Alaskans hail and who are typical of Alask
ans as a whole
It is timely and will be a gracious act for the Alaska
legsilature now in session to extend to the president greet
ings and an urgent invitation to visit Alaska this summer—
preferably when the midnight sun is at the heighth of its
glory—and if not possible then, a little later when the Al
aska summer arrays the Northland in the grandeur and
beauty fo its glorious verdure and floral dress
Anchorage through her Chamber of Commerce, and
other bodies might now fittingly and gracefully launch the
invitation—and with the aid and cooperation of the legisla
ture and the territory’s chief executive—a close and warm
friend of the president—the effort doubtless will bear results
—and prove more than pleasing to the president and the first
lady of the land—Anchorage Times

FEDERAL HOUSING ADMINSTRATION
TO HELP RE-BUILD NOME
(Continued From Page One)
the Federal Housing Administration
will bring a return to the mortgager.
It will act as contingent amortiza
tion, and its function may be des
cribed as being very similar to ac
cumulated dividends which might
be left in a life insurance policy.
Such dividends are placed to the
credit of the insured person and the
effect is to make that policy a paid
up one prior to the maturity date
written upon the face of the policy.
Exactly the same thing may be ex
pected to occur with respect to these
insured mortgages.
It will be recognized, that under
ordinary conditions, Alaska banks
would scarcely desire this type of
business with its comparitively low
interest rates, but they are protect
ed by the insurance given them by
the Federal Housing Administration
and thus are enabled to lend money
for the development of the commun
ities they serve.
Today I talked to Mr. Grant R.
Jackson, President of the Miners
and Merchants Bank of Alaska at
Nome, and he assured me that he
would immediately make applica
tion so that the bank may qualify
under Titles 1 and 11 of the Na
tional Housing Act. Mr. Jackson
assured me that the Miners and Mer
chants Bank would cooperate in ev
ery respect to the end that residents
of Nome may avail themselves of
the provisions of the act. It is ex
pected that the bank will be in pos
ition to make modernization loans
and to issue construction funds un
der Title 11 within the very near
future.
Herewith enclosed for your in
formation are copies of the Federal
Housing Administration bulletins
relating to Titles 1 and 11 of the
Act.
If there is any further information
which this office can give you, or, if
there is any assistance we can ren
der you within the limitations of
the Act, please feel free to call up
on us.
Approved financial institutions
may make modernization loans with
out further reference to the Federal
Housing Administration, but in the
case of funds released for new con- i
struction it is obligatory that plans
and specifications and other data be
submitted to the Federal Housing
Administration by the bank. For
that reason may I ask you to com
municate with me if you are inter
ested so that we may be in position
to aid you without undue loss of
time?
I am planning to be in Nome some
time during the spring and I should
be very pleased to meet you then
and talk this entire matter over with
you.
Sincerely yours,
J. E. Pegues
