WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-When
women walked "out of the kiteh-
en-" and into public life they took
long step forward towards at
tanning equal rights.
By agItating for the privileges
and by preparing themselves for
special service they soon paved
the way that won appointments
to governmental positions. For the
most part. however, these posts
were in the branches of the gov
ernment which dealt with women
or children.
Even today, after eight years of
equal suffrage. however, the Ma
tional Woman's Party points oIl
that while many women do WORK
entailing responsibility, the posi-
tions of highest rank are given
to few. The appointment and cleo
tion of women to high govern
mental office is one of the goals
the party has undertaken as pert
of its perpetual right campaign !"
Only three women at present
hold offices as. chiefs of govern
ment bureaus. There are besides
two commissioners and there IS
one assistant cabinet minister.
The chiefs of bureaus are Miss

PAPER MAKING
SURE TO COME
TO TERRITORY
R. S. Kellogg, Newsprint
Specialist, Gives Views
on Big Industry

"There is no question that some
day Alaska will have a great pulp
and newsprint paper manufactur
ing industry" declared r., s. Ke!.
( logg. representative of the News
print Service Bureau, who return.
ed to town today after a visit 20
Snettisham Inlet and Seymour Ca.
nal. The organization which he
represents is maintained by the
newsprint manufacturers of NOIil
America and large part of its
work consists of keeping in touch
with each new project.
Pointing out that enormous CAPT
tai is required for the establish.
ment of the industry in any coun-
try, Mr.. Kellogg emphasize. thai
he did not mean that it would
blossom here overnight. 1T will
not come with a rush but through
the processes of gradual develop
ment," he said
Two Essentials Present
Two essentials are required foi
the. upbuliding of the pulp and
newsprint making industry, Mr.
Kellogg continued. These are:
cheap timber of a suitable kind.
and economically developed water.
power resources.
Alaska has both of these, and
is pre-eminent in its possession
of the first resource. Its forest
growths is well suited for pulp
manufacture and can be harvested
and brought to manufactory points
at a cost that Is probably lower
than in the most advantageously
situated areas of eastern Canada.
he said.
In his opinion its waterpower
resources are not quite on a par
with those of eastern Canada. The
best of the Alaska waterpowers
are not comparable with the best
of the eastern Canadian powers,
he contended.
Question OF Market
The final determination as to
immediate development, which is
being contemplated by the Zeller.
bach Paper Company and George
T. Cameron and associates, Mr..
kellogg believed, would rest upon
the finding of market for the
product. At present the capacity
of the newsprint industry of North
America exceeds the rate of con
sumption. And while the growth
in consumption has been tremen.
dous for many years, there has
been corresponding increase in
the producing capacity. Today the
latter is still increasing largely in
eastern Canada.
