UNITY IS AN INSPIRATION
The unity, coupled with the boundless enthusiasm,
with which the population centers of Alaska are sup
porting- the project of an automobile highway connect
ing the Territory with the states, is an inspiration, and
we hope it presages an era of concerted action in se
curing for Alaska what is essential for its progress. In
the submergence of sectionalism and all districts of
Alaska working as a unit for the good of the Terri
tory much can accomplished.
We especially commend the fine spirit of the pro
gressive cities of Ketchikan and Juneau, although not
on the route of the proposed highway and not benefit
ing directly by its construction, sending their mayors
and authorized delegations to urge its completion.
We are not essaying the role of prophet, merely
that of observer. It looks to us like the Alaskan munici
palities are realizing the strength and desirability of
unity. They have given a wonderful exemplification of
it in the matter of the International Highway, and now
the three A’s (A. A. A.) which have been used to des
ignate the Territory, are taking on added significance.
