NAVAL SHIPS IN ALASKA
There seems to be a disposition in
some quarters to criticise on account
of the “expense” of maintaining a
naval patrol in Alaskan waters to
prevent fish robberies and to assist
otherwise in enforcing law in Alaska.
People are prone to estimate the
“expense” for the work performed by
the cost of maintaining the naval ves
sels used in commission.
This position is wholly fallacious.
The United States navy is maintained
and its ships kept in commission
whether there is any specific work
for it to perform or not. It must be
so that it may be in readiness for use
should the necessity arrive. It is a
rule for all of the ships of the navy
which are in commission to make
frequent cruises to keep the officers
and men in training. Usually these
cruises are made for no other purpose
than the welfare of the service. * So
general is this the rule that one of
the problems the navy department
has always had to meet has been the
requests of various commercial or
ganizations to have ships of the navy
to visit their particular towns as fre
quently as possible and to stay as
long as possible.
The ships which have been in Al
askan waters would have been cruis
ing some place anyhow. The fact
that there was good work for them to
do in Alaska made the training for
the men all the more valuable. The
work that the navy has done in Al
aska would be worth all and more
than it cost if it had been useful for
no other purpose than giving the of
ficers and men engaged necessary
training.
The fact is, however, that the naval
patrol has performed a very meritori
ous work in Alaska. Its presence has
done a great deal to suppress fish pi
T»e /"«XT onrl it AiifAtMi". nvonllAiif ii'Arlr
in caring for the influenza sufferers
of the Alaska peninsula and Bristol
bay sections. Its presence has given
many young officers and others a fa
miliarity with Alaskan waters, some
thing that might become very valua
ble to the country.
Instead of criticising those who were
instrumental in bringing the naval
patrol to Alaska, there should be
united effort on the part of every
body to have the navy department
send more ships to Alaskan waters.
The largest American naval fleet
that ever was assembled on the Pa
cific ocean has just come to the coast,
and all the seacoast towns of Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington, are
now competing for the opportunity
to entertain the officers and crews
and, of course, for the additions they
would make to local payrolls. Alas
ka should get in line and urge that
Alaskan towns be included among
those which they visit. Not only
would the presence of some battle
/ ships in Alaska add to the volume ol
Alaskan trade, but it would be educa
tional to our people and to those who
man the vessels.—Juneau Empire.
VOICE OF THE ^ALASKA PRESS
How will Ketchikan look to you
as the terminal of a ferry service be
tween here and Prince Rupert, with
a passenger steamer to connect with
the trans-continental trains at Prince
Rupert? This may not be so far off
as you imagine.—Ketchikan Times.
From well-informed quarters the
Times ascertains that there is no
longer any doubt about the Matanus
ka coalfields. The coal is there, both
in quantity and quality. That has
been demonstrated to a point where
it is safe to make this statement. The
navy will supply the consuming fac
tor. So we have the coal and the
market. The thing now is to get the
coal to the market.— Anchorage
Times.
