ALASKA WILL PROFIT BY PREsI
DENTS VISIT.

If there has ever been a territory OF
which it could literally be said that II
has been the plaything Of politicians,
bureaucrats and bone headed conser-
vationists. Alaska is it. Purchased
by a far-seeing statesman for a sum
that is mere trine compared with
the vast wealth il has produced in
spite of insuperable handicaps impos-
ed to block its settlement and develop
ment, Alaska stands today as a pa
thetic example of bureaucratic rule
which STILES individual initiative by
either actually withdrawing the nat
ural resources of the territory from
development and use. or by accom-
plishing the same purpose by sur
rounding them with cordons of red
tape. Fabulously rich in natural re
sources which have been unfolded by
adventurous spirits who are ever
pressing beyond the frontiers of civil
ization. meeting and painfully over
coming the rigorous conditions of pio-
neer life in the far north, the policy
of the government has been to retard
rather than to assist in wrestling and
utilizing the wealth of the territory.
At last there is tangible hope for
relief for long suffering and much
abused Alaska. President Harding is
going there and make a personal in
vestigation. gain first hand informal
ton and thus be in position to deal in
diligently with the problems which
must he solved in a broad and liberal
manner if the people of Alaska are to
prosper and the nation receive the
benefit of the development and utili-
zation of its vast and varied resources.
The president will be accompanied by
the secretary of the interior and the
secretary of agriculture. representing
two departments which have long been
at loggerheads on the question of con-
servation of natural resources and be-
tween which there will probably be
further disagreement in dealing with
Alaska. II is hoped that the presence
of the secretary Of commerce. who
will also accompany the president,
viii have harmonizing influence. He
is a mining engineer whose life has
been spent at the outposts of civiliza-
ton and who knows the digculties
confronting enterprise in remote sec
ton and who knows the difficulties
ing will obtain much first hand in
formation regarding conditions in
Alaska, and possessing an open mind
and actuated by a desire to work out
a policy that will bring prosperity to
the territory by encouraging settle
ment and the investment of capital, /
he will doubtless be able to fairly /
weigh conflicting opinions and reach /
a conclusion that will bring relief to t
the territory.
