ROADS AND TRAILS FIRST

Roads and trails must be constructed throughout Alaska, making it easy for the prospectors to get in and out if the wealth of the Territory is to be developed. This is a primary need, prior to any other. Ways and means of transportation come first. A few million dollars thus expended, in carrying out the plans of the Road Commission would re- turn enormous profits. It would not be an ex- pense, but an investment, and one sure to pay rich dividends. The plans are all worked out. All that is needed is the money for the work. The labor supply never was so great.
 This simple conclusion probably will be the first one developed in the mind of the Presl- dent, if he comes to Alaska. The mining men will assure him of it, if they get chance.

ALASKA MUST LEARN HOW TO FIGHT

Diversity is Deitys delight Abundant proofs of it are found in Alaska, which contains, po- tentially, enough mineral and other natural wealth to supply new world with the essen- tials. It is a wonderful land of diversified op- portunities.
 Suppose that, by planetary cataclysm, due-let us imagine-to the orbital eccentric ity of the sum-, an impossible wall or gulf were created between Alaska and the outlsde world, how long would it take for the resi- dent A1askans to learn the ways of lndepend- ence and to develop the ''help ourselves" hab- it so badly needed now? The business men of the Territory would get together then, in a hurry Alaska is like large boy, clamorlng for long trousers but still unweaned What he needs is the development and exercise of hls fighting spirit.
 Liberty is for those who fight for it.

AS a result of this demonstration
we now have definite proof that con-

the Navy's high-power radio stations
all the way around the world.
The Navy's chain of six principal
high-power radio stations bridge the
gaps westward-Annapolis thence
San Diego or San Francisco. thence
Pearl Harbor. then Guam and thence
Cavite In the Philippines. These sta
tions can readily maintain contact
with vessels steaming westward
through the Panama canal and across
the Pacific. In addition there is avail
able the high-power station at Da-
rien. in the center OF the canal, and also
medium-power stations at Tutuila.
Samoa, in the South Pacific. and
the North Pacific.
Thus we have a high-power radio ring
around not only the United States. but
also around our distant outlying pos
sessions-and one which effectually
encircles the globe. These stations
have been maintained in daily oper-
alton for the past several years.
We are far in advance Of the other
