PROFFERED ALASKA AID
Announcement comes that a movement is afoot in San
Francisco to promote the development of Alaska.
Among the suggestions is one to the effect that entire
Pacific Coast states are now using their Congressional dele
gations to support measures that will be of benefit to the
Territory.
Which arouses the question: Is the entire Alaska ques
tion involved in legislative action by Washington and just
what nature this legislation should take ?
Which again Raises the question of what are Alaskans
themselves doing to advance the development of the Terri
tory ?
As pointed out in Governor Troy’s last message to the
Alaska Legislature, the Territory, not having its natural
resources with which to trade and attract capital, must rely
upon the Federal government to initiate measures of de
velopment.
Of course this opinion was directed principally to liber
ality of appropriations.
We might as well look the matter squarely in the face,
and concede that there are limitations as to how far the
Federal government may advance without becoming involv
ed in a purely socialistic innovation.
If, as the Governor pointed out, conservation in ex
tremes, such as applies to Alaska, is the stumbling block
which has retarded Alaska’s growth, it appears logical that
all efforts should be bended to have these restrictions with
drawn. At this juncture Alaska should be prepared to fol
low the course of every progressive section of the nation
and begin ballyhooing its wares and making a bid for the
investor.
If the time was ever ripe for Alaska to come together
on some comprehensive program with the object of securing
industrial development it is now. It would be welcomed in
Washington as would be a refreshing breeze on Pennsyl
vania avenue in August.
We need a few industrial leaders and less politics.—The
Seward Gat*W»y. ,

Air Routes Across
Atlantic To U. S.
CIVIL AVIATION HEAD IS CON
VINCED REGULAR FLIGHTS
TO BERMUDA SOON
By Harold Ettlinger
PARIS, July 3, Louis Couche, dir
ector of civil aviation at the French
Air Ministry, revealed upon his re
turn from an official mission to the
United States, that active discussion
for the establishment of a north At
lantic air service now is proceed
ing between the United States and
France.
Although he indicated doubts about
the American plans for floating is
lands in the Atlantic to serve as
landing places for the ocean air ser
vice Couche is convinced that re
gular flights will be possible in the
near future.
Three Problems
“We must solve meteorological
problems, the political problem, and
questions of technique and mater
ial", he explained. “We must first
of all give serious study to: First,
choosing the best itinerary; second,
creating landing places and means
of rescue: third, determining the
type of machines to be used.
‘The French government believes
that, faced with such important pro
blems, the essential is to obtain the
collaboration of the interested gov
ernments. It was with this aim that
we went to the United States to pro
pose this plan of work, the principle
of which was so highly considered
that study will be pursued immed
iately.”
Couche believes that the route via
the Azores and Bermuda has the
best chance of being chosen, because
it is the safest, although slower than
the Arctic route, or the regular
steamship route. The last two are
i unsafe for airplane travel too great
a part of the year to be developed
as air routes at present he declared.
Couche had high praise for Am
erican aviation, saying: “Commer
cial aviation in the United States
has developed its security to the
highest degree and observes the
greatest prudence. It has very good
comfortable quiet planes, which al
ways are full. This economic sup
eriority of merchant aviation is due
to considerable financial means, to
extensive currents of transportation
throughout the territory, to business
activity and to the fact that Ameri
cans take to planes as readily as
they do to trains.”
