ALASKA ENORMOUS
BUYER IN AMERI
CAN MARKETS
Alaska purchased and
brought into the territory
during the ten months
from January 1 to Novem
ber 1 of last year, merchan
dise and equipment to the
value of over $28,000,000,
an increase of nearly $3,500
.000 over the same period
last year.
This means that the States
have drawn down a reve
nue of over $2,800,000 mon
thly in exchange for goods
they have marketed in Al
aska.
A world of meaning is
wrapped up in these fig
ures, all of which are from
the reliable reports of the
customs department.
I he increase in the totals
reveals a substantial im
provement in conditions in
Alaska,something of which
any country might well be
proud.
Not only has Alaska had
a good year, but all indica
tions point to steadily im
proving business and indus
trial conditions in the Terr
itory.
Every State in the union
shares the benefits of the
large patronage from Alas
ka and every state should
be eager to do all possible
to encourage the develop
ment of the Territory and
the business derived from
this region. By the same
token every congressional
delegation should be keen
to support every measure
coming before congress
looking to the advancement
of Alaska.
Th° Pacific coast congres
sional members in particu
lar should be alert in help
ing all Alaskan measures
and might well assume lea
dership in originating and
furthering such measures.
The Pacific Northwest sta
tes, which enjoy the bulk
of Alaska trade especially
should get behind the Al
askan cause.
Right now the Pacific
coast states have a special
opportunity to help Alaska
by joining in the fight being
made by Fairbanks and ot
her Alaskan towns to re
store the allocation of the
$2,900,000 for airfield and
airport improvements in
Alaska.
Every state and particul
arly the northwest states
will suffer with Alaska if
this important program for
development of the Terri
tory is killed. Timely ac
tion to bring home these
facts to the Pacific coast
and other centers most vit
ally interested should get
results.—Fairbanks News
