ALASKA AS A FUTURE
POPULOUS AREA
Dr. V. E. Levine of Creighton
"University, Omaha, who left San
Francisco recently at the head of
an expedition sponsored by the
U. S. Public Health Service to
study Alaska conditions, to ascer
^ tain if the country can sustain a
large population of peoples from
the temperate zone, states the
Fairbanks News-Miner in a re
cent issue:
noneer zviassans., an jium me
temperate zone,now pursuing in
dustries of the region and estab
lished in comfortable homes are
a living anwer to the possibili
ties. The vast extent of agricul
tural land, mineral and timber
lands, the great fishing and fur
bearing areas comprise a compar
atively virgin realm capable of
supporting millions of people.
The climate of Alaska is no bar
rier, as witness the accomplish
ments of those in northern lati
tudes of Europe and Asia.
Sme 30.000.000 people living
under similar climatic conditions
in a region less richly endowed
with natural resources long have
carried on with marked success
in northern Scandinavia, Finland
and Russia. For generations that
realm has witnessed the same
prosperous! condition!. Finland,
with a population of 3.600,000,
and two-thirds of Sweden and
Norway are north of the sixtieth
larallel. Ninety per cent of Al
aska, or all except the Panhandle
area, are north of the 60t.h par
allel. which runs a little south of
Seward, Cordova and Valdez.
The province of Vologda, in
Russia, north of the 60th parallel,
aas sustained a population of a
trillion people or more for gen
erations.
Alaska has a scant population
>f only 30,000 whites and about
he same number of natives. If
ncrease of population forces the
expansion f the American peples
,nto new realms, Alaska doubt
less will prove a natural outlet
ind will prove that she also is
capable of supporting milli5ns of
oeopie north of the 60th parallel.
What peoles of other nations
can do in the Northland. Ameri
cans can do. Time will prove
his. If other nations, with their
congested populations.owned Al
iska they would be invading the
•egion now in a manner that
■vould present a vertiable stam
sede.
The people of older sections of
he United States who look upon
Alaska as an ice box have a lot
:o learn about “Uncle Sam's At
tic," and its wealth of possibili

congressmen may be a long time

Mrs. John W. Troy
Says Situation
More Severe
(Bv The Associated Press)
SAN DIEGO. Aug. 23, — Mrs.
Helen Troy, wife of Governor
John W. Troy, who is here on a
visit said "The troubled situation
between Japanese and Alaskans
is graver than you suspect in tb.e
states.
"Japanese fishermen have been
coming into Alaskan waters, ev
en within the three mile limit,
and catching tons of fish, then
canning them on board their vess
els. We have asked the Coast
Guard Cutters to come to our res
cue. The problem is how to keep
the Japanese out of our waters
without open official hostilities
that might have serious conse
quences.
"The situation is keeping the
Governor in Juneau at present,-’
Mrs. Troy declared.
Mrs. Troy said she did not ad
vocate Alaska for oideT people,
“Taut it is a land of great oppor
tunity for younger men and wo
