ALASKA NEEDS
A
·P·A·C
what we need in Alaska.is a
Political action Committee. not
- for selfish reasons...to get mor
than our share of Federal funds
and special legislation, but to
get the necessary legislation for
continuous boat service. This
means emergency service in times
of strife between the unions and
the operators,
(
It
behooves is
to be able to demand fair and just airplane rate:
within the territory and between the territory and the states.
to see are fit
Alaskan conditions, and the reserved areas are thrown open to entry..
It is our duty to dend the building of more roads in the
territory, so that the vast wilderness will be made available to new
settlers.
we need small bbat harbors and shelters and docks and terminals
These are only some of the things we need to develope this northern
territory and moke it a strong buffer state between our homeland and
any agressor nation, who might attack us from the north.
We can have a very effective organization and one that could
exert a very strong pressure on our national Legislators if we wish.
Seventy five thousand Claskans, each having ten or more relatives and
friends in the States, who would be willing to buttonhole there
representatives in Washington, for help for Claska, could exert an
irresistable force that would get us the necessary action.
It would require alot of work on the part of someone to get
the organization under headway, but once started it would pick up
enough momentum to accomplish the above and maybe much more.
