WHY NOT ALASKA?
The casual observer would be led
to believe in glancing over the resorts,
steamships and tour pages of The New
York Times, which occupy three full
pages, that Alaska is sadly neglected
in this form of publicity.
One may select a choice summer or
winter tour to Europe. Florida, the Ha
waiian Islands, the West Indies and
Canada, are advertised, coached in
enticing terms. A “Midnight Sun”
cruise is billed from New York to‘Ice
land; South America is lingered on
affectionately; Japan and China vaca
tions are urged; ‘Sail under the Stars
and Stripes” to Europe is another
cleverly compiled example of the copy
writers art; come to New’ Zealand and
Australia over the Union Royal Mail;
to Peru and Chile via Panama Canal;
to Porto Rico, under blue skies, or
to Bermuda, a glorious sea trip; but
of Alaska the scenic w’onder of the
world, not a word.
It would appear if some of Alaska’s
civic bodies would make stringent ef
forts in forming alliances with East
ern tourist agencies, Alaska would en
joy a considerable increased revenue
for the printed word conveys a sug
gestion which otherwise might be ov
erlooked by scores.
The reason for the present warm
winter is said to be a change in the
course of the Japan current. Coal
dealers are getting up a petition to
the next legislature to have the Japan
current moved back to its original
course.

MORE PROHIBITION RUMORS
Press dispatches continue to indi
cate that the faith of General An
drews, dry czar, in his ability to sat
isfactorily enforce prohibition is weak
ening.
It was stated the other day in dis
patches that the administration had
decided to make an intensive drive
for prohibition enforcement for a
year, extending even unto Alaska, at
the end of which time, in case success
had not been attained, it would ask
for a modification of the Volstead Act.
Now the dispatches declare that
General Andrews will resign unless
conditions can be improved. It states
that he has given his administrators
three months in which to get results
or get out. These reports are quoted
as coming from “officials close to An
drews.”
As to the actual results obtained
since Andrews began his much-herald
ed campaign last fall, opinions dif
fer. But it can not be denied that
these results have been disappointing
to those who sincerely desire to see
prohibition enforced. It appears that
Seattle is the only city in the entire
United States where his campaign
disclosed one of the biggest rum rings
in the world.
Of course, it may be contended
that rumors of his probable resigna
tion are “wet” propaganda, but it is
hard to believe that a great press as
sociation would lend itself to that
sort of thing. In any event, the prob
lem of enforcement is far from being
solved, and the high hopes placed in
the ability of General Andrews to
solve it have not yet been realized
to any great extent.
It would be better to modify pro
hibition and try that first and save
practically 5124,000,000 annually which
| goes for enforcement of an unpopular
law.
Now the arms of the law are being
stretched around Alaska, with their
.eyes focused on Bristol Bay, while at
j the present time their isn’t nary a
i soul over in that isolated district. If
| Andrews wrould get in and censure
alien employes that come north with
j the cannery fleets, wasted time and
j taxpayers’ money and trouble would
i be eliminated. Alaska, itself on the

Aircraft Corporation
Interested In Alaska
The Fokker Aircraft Corporation is
engaged in an intensive survey of
opportunities for aircraft development
in the United States, according to a
letter received last week by the Sew
ard Chamber of Commerce, and one of
these opportunities seems to be appar
ent in the use of aircraft for canner
ies, fishing companies, etc. In this
connection the letter stated, not only
as a rapid means of communication
between outlying posts, but also for
the transportation of supplies, and use
as a protection against poaching.
W. G. Herron, of the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce, suggested to the
Fokker Company that they communi
cate with the local chamber in the
matter of procuring names of parties
that might be interested.
