the unfortunate position of not be- ing able to develop without favorable transportation conditions, and the transportation must come in advance of development, just as the Govern ment railroad came. Every Alaskan knows that Delegate Sutherland knows it and so do many members of Congress and department officials familiar with conditions in Alaska.
 Transportation Is the big problem in Alaska It always has been the big problem in Interior Alaska and will continue to be until relief ar
 rives in the form of more reason able rates between Seattle and Sew ard, and until there is an adequate feeder system of wagon roads and trails connecting with the Govern ment railroad. Alaskans do not want more boats or more trains than are necessary to meet the requirements of conditions, but they do want and must have rate concessions that will permit and encourage development- otherwise there can be no develop ment worth while.
