 Objective
 'The primary objective of the Planning Board is to work for planned development of the Terri tory's resources. It is expected to take the leadership among the Ter ritorial agencies and the local Fed eral agencies in studying the re- sources and outlining comprehen- sive program for their use and per- petuation.
 Tt will present these plans, through the Governor, to the Ter ritorial Legislature and to the prop CT Congressional committees and development heads in Washington, D. C., and it will press for the laws, regulations and public funds nes- sary to accomplish the things pro- vided for in the plans.
 Alaska development should be viewed as a whole, and not as a piecemeal matter If it's needs are to be given satisfactory considera- tion, we must go to the Legislature and to Washington with a we'll rounded program showing the or der in which resource development projects and public work projects should be undertaken, and the bear ing and importance of each project on the development of the Terri tory as whole. The program must be well fortified with facts, and presented to the proper authorities by men having specialized know ledge of our resources and public works needs.
 Long, Time Undertaking
 Tt is a difficult and longtime undertaking, but the proper de- velopment of the important resource es of the Territory is well worth the effort; in addition, most of the States are now using the planning method of attacking their develop ment problems and of trying to ob- tain public assistance in doing the things that will make their localities better places in which to live, and if we hope to share in these good things, we cannot do better than adopt the methods they are follow ing"
