Seward, the Convention City,
the Gateway City, and the
Friendly City, welcomes the
American Legion, Department
of Alaska, as its guests this holi
day weekend.
That there is an Alaska De
partment, a separate unit, work
ing as independently as any
other State department, is sig
nificant. It is another indication
that every organization in the
United States except Congress
has recognized the indisputable
fact that Alaskans are capable
of governing themselves.
In this convening of Alaskans
in Alaska the welfare of its own
people will be uppermost in the
minds of the delegates. All topics
will be under discussion from
the civilian defense program to
the rehabilitation of our veter
ans and the increased develop
ment of our Territory.
Toward that end we must
abandon our attitude of wishful
thinking, of endeavoring to work
upon the sympathies of our
friends and fellow citizens in
the Continental U.S. Bather. let
us concentrate our efforts upon
the betterment of individual
communities. Make them so de
sirable for home and family life
that it w'ill not be necessary to
sell Alaska to the American peo
ple. We know what we have and
the great potentialities for the
future. By borrowing a leat from
the history of our forefathers,
Alaska can become the Mecca
that the rest of America has be
come for the world.
But it is up to Alaskans to do
the building. If Alaska is to be
defended, we must do our share
by supporting the military de
fense. If we are to be left at
peace to till the fields, build our
homes, mine the mountains and
waters, then let Alaskans do it
without so much whining for
aid from the Outside. The old
sourdough was no softy; if the
modern sourdough seeks to fol
low in the footsteps of the pio
neers, then he canr.Ct go soft
either.
