By B. S. HUBBARD
Vice President Schwabacher Frey Co.,
Chairman of the Delegation of the
San Francisco Chamber
of Commerce
More intimate social and business
relations with Alaska is the message
we bring to the citizens of this great
territory. Under the auspices of the
Domestic Trade Bureau of the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce there
has been three trade extension excur
sions this year, one to South America,
one to Mexico, and this one, to Alas
I ka, which we believe to be the most
important of all.
At the very beginning of Alaska de
velopment some or the leading busi
ness men of our city were pioneers
j and developers of Alaskan commerce
and territory, thus there is a basic
; good will and firm foundation for a
1 renewal of the old time interchange
of mutual business relations. Due to
I a lack of direct ships from San Fran
cisco to Alaska our business interests
have suffered and the purpose of this
trip is to make a complete survey ot
the situation and determine how we
can alleviate this adverse condition
for both of our communities.
Upon taking up the matter with San
Francisco shipping interests as to
ships for the Alaska run, they tell us
that the lack of return cargoes makes
it unprofitable to serve this territory.
We feel with the development of your
vast resources this condition will be
changed and we have already found
in the cities ot Alaska to your south
there is a probability of cargoes for
San Francisco ships and we hope for
a like condition to exist here in Sew
ard and other cities to be visited.
The merchants of San Francisco
want your business and this friendship
and good will excursion is to renew
old acquaintances and make new ones
and to offer the facilities of the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce with
its seven thousand five hundred mem
bers to the people of Alaska on all
matters and problems of interest to
your territory generally. Formerly the
Pacific Coast territory west of the
Rocky Mountains including Alaska
was a vast unoccupied area containing
the greater part of the undeveloped
natural resources of the United States
This is the treasure house of the na
tion.
It is being rapidly populated and
this whole Pacific Coast area is an
economic and political unit. Its prob
lems are identical and mutual, its op
portunities and development is vital
to the nation’s welfare. The Pacific
Coast line extends from San Diego to
Siberia, and is rapidly becoming the
front country instead of the hinter
land.
Alaska is in a key position to Amer
ican interests, and it is therefore in
timately a part of San Francisco and
a part ot the nation. Its real needs
should be and is the concern of the
whole country. President Harding's
recent visit has awakened the entire
nation to its duty in caring for Alas
ka’s needs. Alaska needs an increas
ed population and capital for devel
opment of her great natural resources
and we believe the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce can be of great
assistance to you along these lines.
^ e aie glad to be with you and ex
tend greetings from our entire delega
tion.
