WHAT ALASKA MUST COMBAT
Ask the average federal officeholder or bureau ap
pointee for an opinion of what would be the best in
(.rawing attention to Alaska’s desires when the senator
bd investigating committee arrives, and he will answer:
‘'Fell them as little as possible; show them as little as
possible, and allow them to have a good time.”
And the bureaucrat ik quite honest in his position.
His job depends upon this obscurity and deception.
But what of the man who looks to Alaska as a place
for a home and success? He will not secure either until
he sweeps away the curtain obscuring the real facts and
presents in glaring relief the true situation as it affects
bis daily bread and the future of his children.
Alaskan schools are turning out their graduates
annually—boys and girls as bright as any in the nation.
What is their future? Under present conditions they
face the alternative of employment as section hands,
fishermen and waitresses, or emigrating to the States
where their training and talents are in demand.
Alaska must fight for these treasures—the second
army just emerging upon the battlefield of life. It must
he their right to have an equal place in the sun like the
sons and daughters of the man who insists upon shack
ling the Territory. 1 heirs is a more righteous cause
than the products of a machine-made ciilization, for
their work is constructive in its broadest sense. They
are builders shaping the architecture of a young nation,
transforming the rough into what is destined to become
a beautiful edifice of achievement. This cannot be done
so long as the natural resources of endeavor remain
clogged by the present experiment.
