ALCOA REPLIES TO
CHAMBER; BANKERS
ARE GUESTS TODAY
Members of the Alaska Bankers
Association and visiting stateside
representatives were guests at the
Juneau Chamber of Commerce
lunchon at the Baranof Hotel this
noon.
Elmer Rasmuson, President of
ABA, outlined the values of the |
Association as fellowships, getting
understanding of problems, ex
change of ideas and mentioned leg
islation. “It is not a coincidence
that we are meeting here at this
time,” he said. Rasmuson then in
troduced visiting bankers.
N. S. Penrose of the Seattle Loan
Agency of the RFC gave a shoit
talk on the relationship of his
agency with banks.
A letter from the Auminum Com
pany of America was read.
Tax incentive legislation would
enhance the chances of the Alumi
num Company of America s pro
posed huge hyroelectric project at
Taiya, I. W. Wilson, senior vice
president of the company, indicated
in a letter to the Juneau Chamber
of Commerce. The letter dated Jan
uary 25 read:
‘We very much appreciate your
having written as you did on Jan
uary 16. We are as exercised as you
are over the possible adverse effect
on our proposed aluminum project
near Skagway Alaska, of the pro
posed Canadian development at
Kitimat, B. C.
“As you are undoubtedly aware,
the Kitimat project is that of the
Aluminum Company of Canada and
there is no connection whatsoever
between that company and the
Aluminum Company of America
Therefore, except as Canadian gov
ernmental cooperation would be
needed for our Alaskan project
there is no reason from our point
of view why the Alaskan project
should be denied every reasonable
consideration by all interested gov
ernment agencies and representa
tives.
Astonishment
“We, were astounded when news- 1
paper reports indicated that pos J
siDly some of our government repre
sentatives were giving considers ’
tion to a long term contract for the
purchase of aluminum from the
Aluminum Co. of Canada which
would have the effect, whether 01
not it was the intent, of putting
the Canadian company in a better
financial position to undertake
their Kitimat development. We have
been told that such newspaper re
ports had no justification, and as
nearly as we can determine, it is
quite improbable that any direct or
indirect assistance of this or any
other character will be given to
the Aluminum Co. of Canada by
our government.
“We are continuing in our efforts
to have our proper governmental
agencies understand and appreciate
the opportunities presented by our
proposed project in Alaska but find
certain understandable hesitancy on
their part to approve this project
at this time because of two factors—
the first being the geographic loca
tion with all that entails, and sec
ond, the length of time required to
obtain aluminum production from
this project. I can only assure you
that our interest in this project is a
continuing one.
Tax Problems
“When we are in a position to
actively proceed with this Alaskan
project, many factors will have to
receive careful consideration and it
would be most helpful if we could
be assured of an understanding ap
proach to what would be our tax
problems. We are, therefore, very
interested in v.hat you have tc say
in regard to proposed legislation

which might be helpful in this re
spect. I am sure that at some more
appropriate time we will welcome
the opportunity of knowing just
exactly what your suggestions and
proposals are.
“I doubt very much whether at
this time there is anything that you
as a Chamber of Commerce can or
should be doing in connection with
this matter. Both Governor Gruen
ing and your delegate to Congress,
Mr. Bartlett, are most active and
cooperative. I am sure if they knew
of anything more which could
properly be done they would see that
it was called to your attention.”
