PERMIT ALASKA TO DEVELOP

The Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Conner cial Club respectfully memOrializes congress to provide for the rational development of Alaska in the enact ment of a strong constructive policy that will encourage settlement, pro- mote the economic utilization of it's rich natural resources, in the estab, lishment of local industries, and as- sure the efficient administration of such policy by the creation of a fed eral board, resident in Alaska, as pro- vided in s. 4113 and H. R. 1287O. And in support of such request the bureau points out:
 That Alaska during the last decade has actually lost in population, and while the export of natural products has steadily increased, now approxi- mating in value between $70,OO0,000 and $9O000,000 annually, such condi- tions are fundamentally and econom- ically wrong.
 Should such a state of affairs con- tinue, it will result in a country de- populated, and in the loss of revenue from it's natural wealth which was placed there for one purpose only the support of men and women to whom Alaska shall be nome" Countries lying in the same latitude, with like physical and climatic con- ditions support nations of prosperous and contented people numbered by millions.
 Physical and climatic conditions give assurance of the people of Alaska becoming a strong, hardy race, indom- itable in energy, will and determina- tion. Such a people must inevitably make Alaska a source of inestimable national strength. A continuation of existing conditions must inevitably re- suit in Alaska becoming a national weakness.
 Natural wealth, seemingly inexhaust- ible, precludes the possibility of fail ure under constructive industrial and colonization policy efficiently admin istered. One of the worlds greatest storehouses of natural wealth, situated in a country designed to support a large population of homeseekers, awaits the consummation of such a measure.
