plant foods. Thus one part of Alaska would supply the wants of the other. In this way the more northern areas, at present with paucity of white people, could maintain very large pop ulation. The MatanuSka coloni- zation project is no mere child of the depression. It is but a part of large experiment to develop the agricultural poten- tialities of southern Alaska as feeding ground for the more northerly portions.
 The white man and the Eskimo living in the Arctic is heir to the same ills and dies of the same diseases as people living in the States. The death rate in gen. eral, however, and for certain diseases in particular is very much higher for the Eskimo than it is for the white man in the Arctic. The average span of life of the white man in the Arctic is 58.5 years. The average span of life of the Eskimo is "A to 25 years. This short span was the one for the white man four hun dred years ago.
 A study of the health problems of the Eskimo indicates that the diseases to which he suocumbs results largely from lowered re- siStance induced by unbalanced nutrition, lack of sanitation and personal hygiene, and lack of immunity 10 those infections for which medical scientists have all ready discovered means of pre- vention. The much larger nor bidity and mortality rate can be very materially reduced by pro- per sanitation and hygiene, pro- per diet and the immunization against preventable diseases.
 We must improve the health of the Eskimo because we recognize the fact that the continuing death of people while life is within reach Is the most exquisite of human cruelty, and because we recognize the fact that the per- slstent sickness and suffering of any people, when the sickness and the suffering are prevent able, are affronts to our intelI- gence and to our conscience. Lack of government funds is fiimsy excuse. The American people have never been too poor to extend helping hand to un- fortunates.
 From a more practical stand point, however, and from a stand point of seIf-preservation, we must make every conceivable ef- fort to improve the health of the Eskimos lest we who live prac- tically in their midst be burnt by the same confagrations that may rage among them.
 The vast eNpanse of the Arctic can and will in the future be oc- cupied by millions of white peo- pie living in health, in comfort, in happiness, and in prosperity. And the first step in this oocupa- tion must be the improving of the health of the Eskimo, the na- tive people of the land.

OlIl axe tain with ease a population of from ten to twenty million peo- pie.
 Despite peSsimists, birth control and wars. the world is steadily increasing at about the rate of 20,000,000 people year. Some of this increase comes from Asia, some from Europe and the Am ericas. In years to come new areas will have to be opened up for human habitation. Can we ever fill the vast Arctic regions with human beings who for cen turies have been accustomed to live in the tropics, semi-tropics or temperate regions? We can. if food is available and the clim- ate is healthful.
 Civilization has gradually nov ed northWard to occupy the cool CT areas of the globe. Stefansson emphasizes this trend in his book "NorthWard the Course of Elm pire"
 The climate of the Arctic is healthful. The tropics with it's intense heat facilitates. Climate will ever be a barrier 10 the oc- cupation oI the tropics by the whi.e race. T. $ therefore com pelled to move northward. The Arctic with its varying degrees of cold invigorates.
 We have tropical medicine. The tropical man suffers not on- ly from the heat, but from infec- tions and infestations peculiar to the tropics. We have no Arctic medicine. There is not one dis ease that occurs in natives or whites living in the Arctic caus- ed by climate, food or special in- fecting organisms or infestating parasites.
 Animal foods are found in great abundance in the waters of the Arctic and on land. Great herds of reindeer and caribou can be developed and even the chicken and the cow can exist in the north if the proper heat is maintained and the proper food furnished. Fish of all kinds are found in rivers, lakes and seas.
 Vegetable foods can be grown under artificial conditions even as lar north as Point Barrow. Every white mans home in the Arctie should have its glass-cov- cred garden, and the natives should be continually encourag- ed to supplement their flesh foods with home grown veget- ables. Besides, fruits and vepet- ables can be transported by sea during the open water season, With the coming advances in air, sea and land transportations the problem of bringing vast quanti- ties of food into the Arctic will present very slight difficulties.
 While the northern parts oi Alaska may be made to furnish animal foods, the southern. DOT. dons may be trained to ca,ltiyat<
