lNenana NeWs)

Territorial Attorney General JohI Rustgard, who was in Nenana yester- day on his way back to the coast from a trip to Fairbanks, is making tn, rounds of the Territory in an endeavol to arouse interest in the campaign he is making for the lowering of freight rates between Seattle and Alaska.
 Very little, if anything, he says car be done to break the ocean monoplH until the people of Alaska rise as unit in protest against the high hand ed manner in which the transportation companies are retarding development in the Territory. Transportation, the Attorney General believes, is the big gest problem confronting Alaska and it is his opinion that there can be no real development until freight taIlfts have been reduced to a reasonable fig ure.
 Not only are the transportation com panies retarding development by the imposition of unfair rates, MT Rust gard says, but they are also actually killing industry through the juggling of rates so as to encourage shipment from Seattle of articles which can be and are being produced in Alaska but which cannot long survive unfair rate competition.
 Thus far, MT. Rustgard says, the steamship lobby at Washington has proven too powerful for those who have sought rate reforms. But he is hopeful of being able to unite Alaskans

nation from attacking her.

We do not contemplate COM
mitting robbery against our
neighbors. but we put locks on
the doors Of our houses to guard
against the possibility Of our be-
ing robbed. As I said above.
consider my country a great
country and deem It my duty
and that Of every other citizen
to show respect for the liberties
and advantages that are ours by
amply protecting them.
Our geographical situation is
such that we do not need a big
standing army. for a treaty that
has stood a century keeps US at
peace with Canada, our neighbor
on the North. and conditions are
such that we do not apprehend
aggressive action toward us on
the part Of Mexico. our neighbor
to the South. But on the East
and West we have long sea
coasts which need protection. and
their principal protection IL our
navy.
Now . navy does not lie at
anchor in port and wait until
