roads and trails and the Introduc
tion of a variety of industries,
were pointed out by Secretary of
Commerce Daniel C. Roper as
Alaska’s greatest needs, following
his return to Seattle from a j
month's trip in the north.
He laid considerable emphasis
on education of the natives, say
ing it should be directed more to
ward the preserving of their tra
ditional handicrafts than toward
making "White Americans” out of
them.

account of the great distances,
Alaskans were probably more air
minded than the people In the
United States.
He regarded southeastern Alas
ka favorably as a place for small-,
pulp mills. - He said '"l»ej 'believed
