DEVELOP ALASKA
“Instead of the slogan,
•Develop Alaska,’ let the slo
gan he ‘Permit Alaska to De
velop,’ was the blow directed
at conservationists by Brig.
Gen. Wihls I\ Richardson, for
mer head of the Alaska 1’ond
Commission, at the compli
mentary luncheon tendered
him by the members of the
Alaska bureau of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce ana
Commercial club in the But
ler hotel.
Nearly 100 of Seattle’s bus
iness and professional men at
tended the luncheon. E. C.
Hughes, chairman of the ex
ecutive board of the bureau,
who presided, in introducing
Gen. Richardson, said that it
was fitting that a man whc
had done as much for Alaska
as Gen. Richardson should b<
thus honored.
“Ordered to Washington, I).
C., by the war department foi
active duty there until given
another asignment, perhaps on
the firing line in Europe,”
said Mr. Hughes, “I want to
call your attention to the great
work done by our guests dur
ing his twenty years’ service
in the Northland, where
among his achievements may
be found 2,000 miles of pioneer
trail, 600 miles of wagon roads
most of the mas scenic as any
to be found in the world.
“We of the Northwest ap
preciate his work, and that
work and its cost is truly an
object lesson to the road build
ers of America. It is certainly
a great record, and in 'bidding
him what L hope is only an
a u re voir, those of us who now
have sons enlisted know that if
they should be assigned in his
company they will be well safe
guarded.”
Gen. Richardson, when pre
sented, was loudly cheered, the
entire gathering rising, and it
——■mmmmmmmmmm—»■ a
was several minutes before lie
could proceed.
“You do me a distinguished
honor, and 1 assure I appre
ciate your kindness,” said Gen.
Richardson, “and while I have
always tried to do my duty,
the work done in Alaska for
which you have given me cre
dit was, after all, done by the
war department which in the
times of peace does consider
ably more than train sol
diers.
“Besides, many'have been'
associated with me in the work
done in Alaska. Without the
war department aud these
men who have been associated ■
with me, hardly a beginning!
could have been made in the
development of the country.”
Speaking of the future of
Ala ska,•Gen. Richardson said
that only a beginning had
been made.
“And while T want to con
sol conservatism, I want to
urge that instead of the pre
sent slogan, ‘Develop Alaska’,
the slogan, ‘Permit Alaska to
Develop,’ be substituted, and
encouragement be given .capi
tal in Alaska, for it needs cap
ital.”
Gen. Richardson said that
Alaskans were possessed of a
wonderful spirit; that its
wealth is to be found along its
coast,- where its fisheries are
inexhaustible.
“1 may never again Return
to Alaska,” said Gen. Richard
son. “Besides building roads,
perhaps in France, I want to
kill a few Germans, and if I
do return to Alaska it will
probably be only as a visitor,
but my interest In that great
land will never cease, I can
promise you.
In closing Gen. Richardson
commended the work of the
Alaska bureau and congratu
lated its members on its ef
forts in behalf of the territory,
a land, he said, which means.

AMERICAN CONSULS
A .Consul is . a diplomatic
representative of the govern
ment. Hi* is a business rip re
seniative. This is the senteu

tant function in aiding Amer
ican business men to develop
their trade in foreign markets.
Die extent of the help that
can be gained from the con
sular service is not always
realized anil acted upon.
The manufacturer who plans
to enter a foreign field can
practically map out his cam
paign with regard to all im
portant particulars if he avails
himselt of the co-operation
the government can render.
This department of inform
ation is maintained through
the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce at W ash
ington for the gathering of
data relating to the particular
class of goods that are to he
sold in relation to the coun
try in which they are to he
marketed. Any manufacturer
will he supplied with all of the
consular reports regarding his
products and his markets if
lie will make the request. In
addition to this, the bureau
will, if the manufacturer de
sires it, get in communication
with the consuls in the places
lie contemplates in bis cam
paigns and seek the fullest in
fonnation possible concerning
the local conditions relating
to this product.
In order that its work may
be of the greatest possible
benefit, tin* bureau encourages
the compilation by the manu
facturers of lists of questions
relating to markets, trade
channels, local conditions and
customs of the countries,
which will he fairly sure to
bring out the detailed inform
ation required by American
producers.
As a consequence of the war
American trade is expanding
rapidly into countrv \Wu*n*
it was of little or no conse
quence less than five years
ago—or a little ahead—of
this trade expansion. In all of
coast, where its fisheries are
its communications it is em
phasizing its desire to help the
exporter in the fullest way
possible and is urging Ameri
can manufacturers to avail
themselves of the facilities
thus afforded by the govern
ment.
