that if any of the Companies de

than those which were tempora

An official of Alaska has writ

The Alaska Territorial Cham
ber of Commerce has taken a re
ferendum among its chamber
members on the proposition of
the Government selling the Sig
nal Corps System, and the only
Chamber favoring sale was that
of Seward. The Chambers were
unanimous on the desire to se
cure 50% of the annual revenue
derived by the Government from
the operations of the seal fish
eries of the Pribilof Islands. An
other referendum on which the
Chambers were unanimous is the
desire for adequate legislation
by Congress to authorize the U.
S. Army and Navy to establish
adequate aviation stations and
landing fields in Alaska, and to
maintain one or more squadrons
of airships at all times in the
Territory so as to be ready to re
spond to call when needed. The
tesult of these referendums was
sent to Delegate Wickersham,
which coincide with his views

Congress.

John A. Fleming, Acting Di
rector and Member of the Inter
national Polar Year Commission,
and who is also connected with
the Carnegie Institution of
Washington,-has sought the in
terest of the Delegate in the ef
fort to get an appropriation from
Congress for the completion of
the Zeppelin airport at Fair
banks. A program is now being
arranged for 1932-33, and Mr.
Fleming states that in view of
the participation already defi
nitely arranged by so many
other governments, it is a mat
ter of international concern that
our government should take pare
as proposed in the occupation of
the station near Fairbanks. A
bill making provision for such
participation was submitted too
late at the last Congress to be
favorably acted upon by both
houses. However, it had the
commendation ;of President
Hoover, and will be resubmitted
for prompt and favorable con
sideration at the coming session.
