FURTHERING HOME INDUSTRY
Dr. Ernest Gruening reached Ketchikan recently
on his first trip to Alaska. He was impressed by Ket
chikan. He was impressed, too. by the weather, which
was clear and calm Everyone on the boat, he said,
told him with certainty that it alway rains in Ketchi
kan. But it didn’t rain. And Dr. Gruening came to
the conclusion that we of Ketchikan, we cf Alaska,
should talk less about rain and more about our good
weather—for he knew that we do have days, and many
of them, without a drop of rain. Of course. Dr. Gruen
ing is right, lie sees that Ketchikan and all Alaska
can benefit from the tourist industry, and he may be
counted on to do all in his power to further that indus
try.
Itw as in this connection that he deplored the pres
ence in the Territory of Alaskan curios actually made
in Japan. He ft It that such curios could be made in
Alaska. b\ the Alaskan natives. And here again we
believe that Dr. Gruening is right
Alaskans generally discount the possibility o! man
ufacturing Alaskan curios in Alaska because the return
is not groat enough. It is true, of course, that it is dif
iicult to compote with cheap Japanese labor, especially
when that labor is used not alone to turn out Alaskan
curios, but the curios and novelties of other regions as
well. Nevertheless, the difficulty is not an insurmount
able one. We do not question but that proper govern
ment agencies could give Alaska aid in keeping out
foreign-made curios, copied from the original art of the
Alaskan natives. We do not question, either, but that
the proper government agencies could encourage the
natives and organize some of them in the manufacture
of curios. Certainly, there is opportunity for many to
make their livings from the business that, above all
others, belongs at home.
Those in Alaska familiar wi*h the work and the
market should get their heads together and do what
they can to bring closer the day when Alaskan curios
all will be made m Alaska, providing a moans of livli
hood for a considerable number of people.—Ketchikan
