SUGGESTS WISER LAWS
 FOR ALASKA'S GROWTH

WASHINGTOE: On the invitation of the house committee on territories. James l.. McPherson. manager of the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce and Commercial Club. delivered an illustrated lecture on Alaska today to the members of that committee and the members of the committee on public lands, in the house office building. It was unique among congressional hearings. as not bearing on any pending legislation. being merely for educational and not for lobbying purposes. The primary purpose was to show the remarkable increase Alaska made last year in mineral and other production. and al so to emphasize the fact that the ter ritory during the year actually lost 1000 population.
 Need of Wiser Laws
 Mir. McPhersOn's suggestion was that with wiser laws and a sounder policy regarding Alaska there could be a larger growth in the production of the territory and an increase in population, both national assets. He pleaded for the establishment of con- ditions whereby the tin of the Nome region would not have to be sent thousands of miles out of the state to be manufactured, only to be shipped back as cans for Alaska's salmon; whereby it would not be necessary to import fuel to run the railroads and industries; whereby Alaska coal could be used in Alaska smelters. and whereby farmers could have mar ket for the products which already they are producing in excess of local demands.
 Summarized, MT. McPherson's rec concentrations were under three heads: First, a large measure of home rule, a form of government on the basis of that accorded to other territories; second, the coordination and the unification of federal bureau control over those matters that would remain under federal jurisdiction ev- en when Alaska becomes a state. and, third, a revision of the land laws to encourage settlement and home mak- ing.
 Definite Policy Requested Under this last heading. he asked the adoption of policy and laws that would prevent monopoly and exploita- tion; that would be susceptible of on- ly one interpretation. and that would stimulate development and settle ment.
 With the establishment of such a policy, he predicted the rapid settle ment and development of the terri tory after the war. when so much oi the worlds manhood shall have been released from military life.-P. l.
