INVESTIGATION
IN JERRITORY
DENVER, Sept. 16—Drink Is'
destroying the Natives of Alaska
and the Aleutians, Mrs. D. Leigh
Colvin, president of the Women’s
Christian Temperance Union, as
serted today.
She urged a Congressional inves
tigation.
If the situation were “fully expos
ed,” Mrs. Colvin told the National
WCTU convention, "it would startle
the country into corrective action
more quickly than did the drink
destruction of American Indians.”
She said failure to curb the liquor
traffic in Alaska, “one of the coun
try’s first lines of defense against
Russia,” would “invite another Pearl
Harbor.”
Mrs. Colvin said surveys had show
ed that the Eskimos and the Aleuts
are "increasingly on the decline
from disease and improverishment
due to drink.”
