THREE WISE MEN OF THE EAST
“And Lo! and Behold! three wise men cometh among
them, bearing great tidings”—of much needed informa
tive data to replace the usual Congressional vacuity, in
things Alaskan. It should be extremely gratifying to
Nome and the Second Division, as well as to the bal
ance of the Territory, to know that a Cabinet officer of
the United States, voluntarily appeared before a Con
gressional Appropriations Committee urging bigger and
better appropriations for Alaska. It is highly illumin
ating to know that Secretary of the Interior, Harold
Ickes, in an effort to pierce the abysmal ignorance of
most congressmen in matters Alaskan, personally in
formed them—“This is our last frontier, and the devel
opment of Alaska through a carefully planned program
is our hope and objective—that Alaska is the great re
gion where opportunity awaits the coming of the pio
neer, and above all else Alaska needs airfields and roads
to open up new areas to settlement.”
Another blow was struck to destroy the lethal leth
argy of congress in territorial matters, by Dr. Gruening
head of the Department of Insular and Territorial Af
fairs. This learned gentlemen, who functions under
Secretary Ickes, recently informed Congress: “We feel
definitely that the population of Alaska can be increas
ed, and will serve as an outlet for a great many useful
citizens of this country.”
How different from uninformed congressman
Johnson of Oklahoma, whose lack of knowledge, vision
and perspective, caused him to surmise, “I doubt if one
of the Colonists (Matanuska) ever stays there as soon
as we stop feeding them.”
Dr. Gruening made a personal survey of Alaska last
summer, including a visit to Nome, and spent consider
able time in-.*™* Matanuska Valley. Whei* htt te^?
Congress that Alaska’s first agricultural colonization
effort is proving successful, he should not be flatly con
tradicted by a ongressman who has never been within
4,000 miles of the valley. To an Alaskan it would ap
pear that we have too many Congressmen addicted
similarlily to the congressman who has twice introduc
ed a bill to make Alaska the dumping ground for the
penitentiary inmates of the States.
Anthony J. Dimond, Alaska’s able Delegate, has for
four long years expended every effort to break through
the condition of innocuous desuetude manifested by
most Congressmen in the development of Alaska. Mr.
Dimond by unceasing work is gradually overcoming
this supine attitude.
Mr. Ludlow, chairman of the House Appropriations
Committee, not long ago arose on the House floor and
said: “I think all of us, and especially the members
of the appropriations committee have a high opinion of
the gentleman from Alaska, and we appreciate his zeal
and efficiency in serving the great Territory of Alaska.
Perhaps it it had not been for his most agreeable person
ality, and his persistency, there would not have been
any new air-mail item in this bill for Alaska at all, be
cause there was a great deal of opposition to the grant
ing of an appropriation for this line running from Jun
eau to Fairbanks, on what appeared to be pretty sound
ground.”
To Secretary Ickes for his genuine interest, to Dr.
MINERS!

Gruening for his timely intervention, and to Delegate
Dimond for his unflagging zeal, Alaskans owe a deep
debt of gratitude.

Revolutions have come to nations from far less im

Windsor off the throne of England.
Sit down strikes may be all right but we prefer to
see Americans stand up; stand up for their rights and
for the enforcement of laws.
