HELP ALASKA
Why is it that the people on
the out side,seem to be so afraid
of helping Alaska? Alaska, inci
dentally being one of the richest
territories that the United States
posesses, besides being one of
the scenic wonders of the universe
It is also one of the future stan <
byes of oil quetions, having the
largest oil deposit that is yet
known to the civilized world.
It harbors practiculy, every
mineral of comniercil value.Then
why are the people so very shy
to invest some of the capital in
this territory, when it is being
wasted on less important projects
else where. Why is it V When
Alaska, is the key to a hugetrea
sure house, and therefore the
very best possible investment
that can be found anywhere ?
Even Washington D.C. is slow,
at realizing its future possibili
ty.
Come! some of You Congress
man, do \ou not see its vast pi»
tential greatness ? Its glorious
future ? it has the finest agri
cultural future of any other coun
try m the world, its soil has not
even been scratched. It is the
most least thought of territory
of any that is owned by the Uni
ted States, during the last centu
ry of Americm History. And
yet she is the richest and tlie
biggest asset of them all.
Then why hesitate to give her
your aid 'i Is it through lack of
knowledge? Or is it pure neglect
that every body fails to respond
to her cry for help, when she
calls to You. from the North?
So come, give her your help
ing hand and make it into a coun
try that men wan1, instead; of a
land that God, “Forgot”.
MUST SHE CALL IN VAIN ?
