MEN WANTED

Aas1a wants men. She has sent twelve per cant
Of her white population to engage directly in tho war or
IN war work. Her industries are left in such condition
that these men. or their equivalent in other men arc
tnpsratively needed. This is the substance Of q state
msnt Just made by Governor Riggs in . proclamation
inviting men to the great northwestern tsrritory.
II tho interests Of Alaska alone wore concerned.
and II the question were merely ono Of tho prosperity
Of those who are living in ALASKA or who have invest
could wait until tho war Is over. But the question Is
bigEsr and broader than that. Alaska is a vast store
house OF natural resources, tho utilization Of which Ia
ut tho highest importance In the work Of war prepare
ton. Her fisheries are the greatest in the world, and
those fisheries arc capable Of supplying vast quantities
Of food at q time when the whole world is crying for
food. Her mines contain minerals in almost inexhausti-
Bile quantities, and many Of those minerals are needed
in the war industries Of the world. Her forests contain
enormous supplies Of timber, especially Of spruce, and
in the ono item of airplane production almost meal
culable quantities of this timber are required, and must
be had as quickly as possible.
Hence the labor supply in Alaska becomea a mat
ter OF concern. not merely to those whose special inter-
ests are in Alaska. but to the nation and to all the other
nations which are associated with us in this war.
The problem Of Alaska is identical in character with
the problem Of the country at large. Men are needed
Tor the army. But It is useless to place men in the army
unless other men are placed in the industries whose
products are necessary to the effective service OF those
men. The organisation Of our great military forces nee
essarily withdraws men from civil life. At the Same
time. the military activities In which these men are to
engage muliplies many fold the demand for mon In In.
dustrial occupations.
The whole situation resolves itself into one Of .men
wanted There has never before been a time in the
history Of the world when there was such need for the
hands and brains Of men. working to their full capacity.
There has never before been a time when idleness was
80 utterly inexcusable. so thoroughly intolerable.
