During the recent investigation
jf the Alaska situation by a com
nittee sent out by the interior de
partment, the interestin ' private in
formation was received in certain
business quarters that the former
territorial shipping plan has been
practically turned over to the Unit
ed States Shipping board, and that
boaid in turn has plans to attempt
to divert a part of the Alaska trade
lo San Francisco by the allocation
of ships.
This, of course, was to be ex
pected, says the Railway and Marine
Mews, but it may not be generally
tnown that for many months pre
viously a well-developed plan has
seen thought out in San Francisco
•overing a general attempt to cap
ure this trade largely for the bene
it of the wholesale grocery and sup
sly houses. Late last year, James
IVickersham wrote a lengthy letter
:o Julius Kahn, a California repre
sentative in Congress. This letter
»t gTeat length pointed out the op
portunity for San Francisco to con
ro! the Alaska coal output, and
tdvocated a steamship line from that
sort. Quoting from James Wicker
sham’s letter:
“I send you these documents pur
suant to my recent conversation with
S’ou, in which I tried to persuade
vou that San Francisco ought to
•nake an active study of the coal
situation in Alaska, and of the fu
:ure trade relations therewith. I
jrge this upon you for these rea
sons : First, your oil supply will not
furnish you with the necessary fuel
’or all purposes after a few years;
second, you need large quantities
>f coal in San Francisco even if
vour oil supply shall never fail;
hird, your trade relations between
San Francisco and Alaska can be
milt up on the coal trade better
;han in any other way; fourth. Se
ttle does not want Alaska coal; she
tas plenty of coal in her own state
ind will never buy Alaska coal.
“Seattle has grown to be a great
•ity out of the resources of Alaska,

.but the day is coming when her'
.trade will entirely decline, because
| the backbone of the Alaska trade
I hereafter will be intimately associ- j
jated with the development of her'
j coal fields, which are of no interest J
to Seattle. Let me make it clear to !
you that Seattle does not want
Alaska coal.11
This probably explains in part why
the shipping board will take over
the territorial shipping plan and
why an attemt will be made to
again divert trade from Seattle.1
However, there is no chance that
anything will be done this year
toward establishment of steamship
lines. The plan is to start it with
the pring rush of 1921 and Seattle '
merchants are quietly laying their
plans to hold 'their share of the,
trade.
