HIGH LIGHTS OF
 HARDING SPEECH

President Harding, urging the enactment of the administration merchant marine bill recently, pre- scented these arguments in favor of the measure.
 Government aid to private opera tors would relieve the United States treasury of staggering losses" now suffered thru national operation Of the war-buut merchant fleet.
 Ic would establish a program of assured shipping to serve the nation in war and in peace, give a guaranty ot commercial independence.
 It could not enrich the few at the expense of the public treasury, be- cause the measure automatically pro ydes that government aid should cease the minute operating compa- u.es neJled a profit of 10 per cent.
 It would effect a direct saving Of many millions of dollars a year to the government. aside from the loss ot many hundreds of millions" in woruout. sacrificed or scrapped ship ping.
 The direct aid cost to the govern mcnL with ocean carrying maintain ed a. its present average, would not exceed $20.OOO.OOO a year. and it American shipping were developed so that it carried one-halt of the na- uou's deep-sea commerce, the maxi mum cost 70 the government would not be more than $50. 100000
 It congress had thought it proper to spend S-5.OOO.O0O to develop good roads for market highways, and to extend credits to the farmer. it also should find it equally proper to de veIop American market highways on the "saIted seas"
 Government aid for American skipping was not a geographical, oc- cupatioual. professional or partisan question; 1t affected all the people, those of the Mississippi and Missouri river valleys just as much as those of seab0ard states--a common cause. with it's benefits commonly shared by tIe farmer as we'll as by the ship Op- orator.

SALIENT EXTRACTS
 FROM ANNUAL REPORT

Juneau, Alaska, Dec. 7.-Alaska is going ahead. Unde: natural and imposed handtcaps, 1t made progress during the fiscal year l92l-22.
 Officially, a degree of coordination was attained and a fuller measure of cooperation secured.
 Materially, the gradual return to more normal economic conditions quickened recovery from depression and gave impetus to industry and commerce.
 The Territory received more gen. erous general attention during the year than ever before in It's history. Interest aroused by the Presidents contemplated visit, unayoidably de- ferred, fixed the public eye upon AL aska. stimulated a desire for know ledge of the unknown domain, pro noted tourist travel and otherwise contributed helpfuIy toward making Alaska's resources and needs better known.
 Enlightenment and a centering of national attention upon the North land might easily have been utilized to produce a tide of immigration, but the time was not ripe to encourage an influx. Constructive development was under way only in the compile ton and operation of the railroad from Seward to Fairbanks. Further upbuilding policies waited upon i'm peratIve Legislation by Congress- Divided authority and dilatOry red- tape methods continued to hold away Therefore, would-be settlers, and home-seekers, making inquiries from every State in the Union, and eager to have a part in prospective pio' neerIng, could not in prudence or wisdom be invited or advised tc come. They would encounter toe many obstacles. Alaska needed and wanted them, but inherent <difficul' ties were many, bureaucracy. ob. structive, hardships unacceptable ana means Q necessity.

easy as in the Dominion of Canada, whither Americans have been at trected and gained fOotholds in greater numbers than were ever enumerated in Alaska.
 Capital must lead the way. With out capital, abundant capital, Alaska cannot be opened up.
 Stagnation was Alaska's portion under academic treatment for a de- cade or more. Theory did not spell progress, but a pOargve going back ward. Conservation politics entail ed a blight.
 If the argument sometimes strange ly advanced that Alaska's rich re- sources should be preserved for pos terity be valid, it would be equally and increasingly valid as the cen turies roll on, and the Territory for ever remain dramatically sealed; but common sense answers that hoarding is not conservation, and that natures laws, ever beneficial, cell for a minimum of artificial pro- lection and doctrinal aCceleration. Certainly the building of a govern ment railroad through the far-off wilderness at a cost of S56,00O,0 ,000 was not based upon any such theory of conservation.
 Assuming that the lesson of mis- taken policy and mischeYious propa- ganda was taught ana learned, in dwindling census returns and steady retrogression, and that Alaska is not to count time until the millennium comes, in vindication of self-appoint- ed overseers and well-meaning doe trinaires, busying themselves thou sands of miles away in the Terri tory's keeping-assuming that Alas ka henCefOrth is to receive sane con, sideratiOn and be gwen that Amer ican chance accorded to Western States and a voice in it's affairs, il follows that investment and settle. ment are to be invited and encour. aged and constructive policies adopt ed that will make these easier.
 The thought that Alaska is or ever has been in peril of despoliation oI being gobbled up is inconceivable tc (COntinued on page 3.)
