WASHINGTON, Deo. 28. — Seem
tary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, in
discussing the administration's plans
for Hie additional naval academy re
commended by the President in hD
scheme for increased defences, said
today that in his opinion the Pacific
roast was the logical place for the
establishment of the new naval nrnd
emy. He asserted that the ecast sec
tion was becoming of greater com
inereinl importance every year, and
that the constantly growing popula
tion gave an ample field for the re
cruiting of cadets for the new aead
emy. He suggested no portion of the
coast as the best fitted to locate the
new school, and intimated that the
exact location of the academy would
be deferred until the measure was
made into law.

ALASKA IS NUT A

William A. Gilmore, former mayor
I of Nome, and former Republican can
; '’Idate for delegate to Congress, sug
| gested in a speech at Seattle that
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
take up the matter of inducing Con
gress to pass such legislation ns
I would enable the Alaskans to adjust
: their affairs for themselves.
"We are qualified to adjust these
things." said Gilmore, “but under tbc
enabling act wo are not allowed to
legislate. The territorial government |
granted to us has a string to It, and
every time we pass a law somebody
at Washington gives the string a
l yank. Under the law we cannot even
build a road or a school house with
out first running down to Washing
ton to get permission.
“We should have a territorial law
giving Alaskans the right to adjust
their own local affairs, with the pro
vis-Ion that when we pass a law It
| shall become a law unless Congress
I sets It aside within a given period.”
Gilmore expressed the gravest
doubt as to anybody present, or their
children, living to see Alaska granted
statehood.
"Did It ever occur to you that Alas
ka Is not a part of the United
States?" he asked. "It Is non-contigu
ous territory — an insular possession
—and Congress always will seriously
object to granting statehood to any
territory that lies beyond the seas.”
