 "In Alaska it is different. Here the government wants employees who intend to live in Alaska and help de- velop the country. This climate is the best and healthiest in the world, and there is no reason why anybody should be granted a free trip to the Outside each year.
 "Conditions in Alaska and Panama are as different as the respective To- cations of the countries are distant.
