The Alaskan., 1932-09-09
HOPEFUL SIGNS OF
 PROGRESS Seward Gateway

The attitude of the Southeast ern Alaska press in going at the root of the Territory's lethargy namely too much government and too little efficiency, is a hopeful sign that the Territory as a whole is awakening and that it is incubating a unity Of purpose capable of shaking off the obstacles now impeding pro- |gress.
 It will be recalled that for five years The Gateway has been hammering away at the root Of Alaskan troubles. but somehow many of these who now see the light have left us to fight alone.
 With the press synchronizing cn a given policy such as lifting the blight of too tense conserva- tion and over-government by theorists, ray of hope breaks that the voice of Alaska will be heard in Washington.
 Aside from it's irritation, iron bound conservation and govern mental meddling in what should lbe purely Alaskan affairs is at Il the bottom of a general shyness Of Alaskan investments. Once the tension is relaxed and capi- tai offered an opportunity to enter Alaska unhampered by political interference, there is no denying that a great forward movement will begin.
 In it's stand against the perni- cious system the Gateway has rot stood alone with an i'm i,Iitctical idea. From every Wa !,
 of business life in tine continent
 q United States has come con-
 demnation of governmental in
 truSion into business and over-
