MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
“AMBASSADOR” REX BEACH.
Last August 31. Rex Beach, famous author, former
Alaskan and still a staunch friend of the Territory- des
cribed in the Juneau Empire his plan'for an aerial re
connaissance in Alaska with the aim of developing its
mineral resources through the use of rrmy and navy
air forces and in co-operation wi*h the National Youth
Administration movement. At that time he said:
Although it is to be presumed that neither the
Army nor the Navy will care much for the propose 1, I
believe it can be sold to them on the. grounds of its
sociological and ecor mic importance. Both brarwh^s
of the service have always been ready to discharge any
duty and lend any aid in matters of emergency, and
here indeed is a social and economic emergency the sol
ution of which is of supreme importance to the contin
ent.”
But he didn't let it rest at that, as so many might
have done. RecentlyM r. Beach appeared in Washing
ton, D. C., in support of his proposal, visiting, in com
pany with Delegate Anthony J. Dimond, Gen. Malin
Craig, Army Chief of Staff, Secretary of the Interior,
Harold Ickes and Marvin McIntyre, Presidential Secre
tary, and pointing out that “Alaska is standing still.
There should be at least 5.000 men searching for gold.”
Rex Beach is a true Alaskan, though he hasn’t lived
in the Territory for years. He was one of those who
came in the gold rush days; went through the Klondike
and on to Nome to make a stake, and gather the mater
ial for the many excellent stories he has written about
the North. Last summer he returned for an extensive
visit and he saw the crying need for mineral develop
ment if the Territory is to gain its ultimate goal. He
took his plan, conceived while prowling about the North
renewing old acquaintances and visiting the scenes of
the old days- before officials in the Territory, while on
casual visits to them, and these men agreed it had merit.
Many a visitor would have left it there, but Mr. Beach
sees again Alaska pouring forth its gold to the world
just as it did so sens ationallv in ’98. so he went on to
Washington with hismessage in behalf of the Territory.
He urged there- as he suggested here last summer, that
development of the mineral resources be carried on,
first, by aerial mapping, and stereoscopic photography,
according to the technique developed in Canada, and
second!v, by utilizing that personnel and equipment to
transport prospecting units in and out of mining areas
and to maintain a supply service therefor.
Every- Alaskan knows what such a development
program would mean toward pushing the Territory for
ward. for it would again fill the hills with prospectors;
every Alaskan should be aware, and thankful, for the!
effort being put forth in their behalf of our Ambassador
without portfolio—Rex Beach.—Daily Alaska Empire.
RECOVERY AND POLITICS
All forecasts indicate that general recovery will con
tinue. Every effort will be made by the Administra
tion—without resorting to inflation—to see that the
forces of recovery are given free rein. The reciprocal
tariff agreement with Canada has strengthened—rather
than undermined—the President’s position; even rock
ribbed Republican newspapers have applauded the
treaty.
Many things can happen between now and Novem
ber, 1936; let no one fool himself about that. Politics
is almost as uncertain as the weather and as elusive as
one of Haile Selassie’s bare-footed warriors. It is pos
sible that the tide may turn, but not probable. Dem
ocrats believe it will not; Republicans can have only
faint hope that it will.—Birmingham News.
