ALASKA IN "COLD STORAGE"
According to no less authority than
Congressman Sulzer, who has Just
returned from Alaska, the inhabitants
of that territory have become so im
iiatient over congressional delay in
providing Jaws for the development
of its resources that they are debat
ing what is, of course, the futility of
secession. The Toledo Blade com
ments upon the report, and upon the
vagueness of the governments pollc>
touching conservation as follows:
"There is no excuse for post
poning the reform of land laws which
will let Alaska proceed toward its dt?
tiny In spite of much discussion,
the doctrine of conservation has not
been defined in practical terms. All
sorts of schemes nave been suggest
ed, but not one put upon the statute
books. Those who had broached plans
for the government to mine coal,
build railroads and construct harbor
facilities lost their enthusiasm after
a speech or two. Those who stick
by the old policy of haphazard de
velopment, with the loot for those
who are shrewd enough to get it,
havu't had the bravery to do else
than stand pat. Meantime business
in Alaska languishes and the indigna
tion of the settlers takes the form
of drilling with arms and talking fool
ishly of secession."
It does seem that Alaska has legit
imate cause for complaint over the
slowness with which the government
mill has been grinding toward a solu
tion of its problems. Kfch in gold,
coal, timber and minerals of various
description ? not to mention large ag
ricultural assets ? it is placed in me
position of marking tune, whiie Wash
ington debates the various branos of
conservation that shall be applied to
its develo pment.
It is a case of where one great,
natively wealthy territory is paying
the penalty for the government s fail
ure to take care of the nation s re
sources in other directions. Both paw
ties know the people are, propero ,
determined that Alaska shall not be
exploited for private gain. They ha\a
seen the policy of licensed spoliation
work havoc elsewhere, and they are
minded that what is represented as
one of the choicest undeveloped por
tions of this country shall be saved
from such a fate.
Meanwhile, political and economic
doctors disagree as to a remedy and
the problem appears no nearer adjud.?
cation than it was two years ago to
day. We do not take the extreme
view that is held by the Blade. But
there can be no question that the
forthcoming congress should, in just
ice to the present and future pop
ulation of Alaska, take steps that
will allow the orderly use of its re
sources without their wantonly being
thrown to the maw of mercenary pri
vate interests.
There may be something, after all,
In the claim of the west, that the
east, having played hob with its own
natural resources, is exercising un
due censorship over those of the
west. ? Excange.
