BELIEVES GOVERNMENT
OF ALASKA INADEQUATE
Gov. Strong Says Territory Is Not
Properly Appreciated by People
of the United States.

Declaring that Alaska, in spite of the
fact it has added more to the national
wealth. proportionately. than any other
possession acquired by the United
States, is struggling along under a
government that is inadequate and
that the territory is not appreciated
fully by the people of the United States
and by Congress. Gov. John F. A.
Strong, in his annual report to the Sec
retary of the Interior. urges that the
work of the development of Alaska be
increased He says a constructive rail-
road program. which has for it's object
the opening and development of many
OF the larger coal. agricultural and
metalmining fields is of great import
ance to the territory. and urges that il
should not be stayed by hesitation on
the part of Congress to appropriate the
money necessary to complete the prof.
ect. The fact that Alaska has a pop
ulation of not more than $4,000 white
people he attributes to the general lack
of appreciation of the opportunities Of
fered by the territory
Comparing Alaska with the Scandna-
Wan countries. he says:
IF all its natural resources, includ-
ing agricultural, were developed. they
would be found to be infinitely greater.
and yet, while the Scandinavian coun-
tries, much smaller in area have pop
ulation in excess CT 10000. 900. il has
taken Alaska nearly fifty years to
achieve a white population of not more
than $4,000 souls. OF course, Scandi-
navia has the advantage OF years. but
Alaska can offset IL with natural wealth
and opportunity
Gov. Strong says that while many
millions have been spent for the bet
terment of the insular possessions, and
that they have been granted the most
complete form of self government pos
sible. Alaska has been left to shift for
itself in a haphazard manner.
