TOO MANY CREPE HANGERS
A certain undercurrent of criticism is heard in Anchor
age and the district generally of the big government project
of launching a farm colonization movement in the Matan
uska Valley. Crepe hangers who offer no progressive or
constructive plans seem to take a delight in sitting back and
predicting failure and even hoping the project will not suc
ceed.
Such pessimists and knockers seem not to appreciate
the fact that Uncle Sam is good enough to be Santa Claus to
this district to the extent of hundreds of thousands of dollars
—and is spending a million dollars on the project. Every
one in the district should be a booster and make it a special
business to assist the government in every way in making
the project a success.
Beyond question, the lands of the Matanuska valley
with their deep soil have been proved highly productive—
far more so than many areas in the states classed as agricul
tural regions. No land has a more varied possibility.
True there is a problem to meet as to marketing and as
to classification of products and bringing the goods up to a
standard to compete with outside products. But the most
scientific and expert counsel and service in these matters
can meet and solve these problems. The government must
meet the situation and measure up to it and help the farmers
turn out a product second to none in the American markets.
With proper cooperation of the pioneer Alaskans and
all residents of the region the government will succeed.
Some errors may be made and some measure of mismanage
ment always is likely in new undertakings, but every big
western enterprise of the government and of individuals had
obstacles to surmount—but they have been surmounted.
And such will be the outcome in the Matanuska project.
The knockers and crepe hangers have no place in ine
economy if such enterprises as these. Success with the
Matanuska project will be the biggest boon Alaska ever ex
perienced, and every true Alaskan should be mighty glad
the administration has the vision and the fortitude to launch
the project.
Let every resident of the district prepare to give the
newcomers a most gracious welcome—make them feel at
home—give them the glad hand of greeting and then buckle
in and do everything possible to help crown the big adven
ture with success.—The Anchorage Daily Times.
The nation has plenty of trouble seeing things clearly,
what with dust storms and mud-slinging.—Buffalo Express.
All we ask of that fellow who is perfecting supplemen
tary lungs for stratosphere fliers is that he doesn t let the
orators get hold of any of them.—Toledo Blade.
