“AND SO IT CAME TO PASS. . . ”
It seems that Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma
,who in company with Senators Frazier of North Dakota
and Shipstead of Minnesota, visited Alaska this past
summer for the purpose of investigating conditions
among the natives, for the Office of Indian Affairs, has
at last made the semblance of a report on spending
government money for a “junket tour” of the territory.
The only fly in the ointment seems to be that he
is reporting on a separate, and altogether “out-of-line”
project, with which he did not even have time to thor
oughly look into.
Here is Senator Thomas giving us a first hand re
port on the Matanuska project and how it is a complete
flop. Why is it we don’t hear him reporting on what
his investigation disclosed concerning the native sit
uation in the territory—the real purpose of his trip?
How was Senator Thomas able to issue such a damn
ing report on the agricultural experiment going on at
Palmer, when he stopped there only for a short time,
about as long as he stayed in Nome? His visit to Nome
where native controversies have existed for numbers
of years, was so short that one person had to fly to Tel
ler to do more testifying, of course on his own “hook”.
If he stayed in Palmer as long as he did at Nome,
his investigation concerning natives, based on his report
on Matanuska, should be in the same catagory.
We heard him say that federal officials really wish
ed to gain authentic and reliable information and facts
concerning this country, and yet, Senator Thomas com
es out with a statement that the Matanuska affair is
completely devoid of any benefit except to show “once
and for all that Alaska is unsuitable for large scale
colonization.”
And so it comes to pass, that Senator Thomas’s
sense of fair mindness and justice in bis investigation,
appears to be nothing more than a “steal” designed to
mislead the people of Alaska, who, when it comes right
down to it, are working not from any selfish point of
view, but to develop America’s richest wonderland,
and home of huge wealth and possibilities to the Un
ited States.
In one breath he damns an experiment, designed
to help develop this country to a point where it can be
entirely self supporting, and at the same time lets fly
at the whole country. If this is the type of investigat
or which is to be sent to Alaska to learn about the
country, we wish the government would keep them at
home, and we’ll send our own men back to Washing
ton and help teach the government about Alaska from
a fair-minded and consciencious view point.
