DEVELOPMENT AND PROTECTION
 OF ALASKA

Old records recently unearthed in the State De- partment have aroused considerable discussion over the original purchase of Alaska While there lsn much question that the total price finally paid was s72ooOoO the old documents appear to indicate that i the United States could have bought originally at 4fve million but during the discussions the price was raised to the million figure. Another version t presented some years ago that the actual pur- 4 chase price was only $24OOOoO and that the balance of S4 100000 was by way of repayment to Russia for ibexpenses of a Russian naval movement during the ', Civil War to demonstrate Russian friendship. As the Seattle Post-Intelligencer very apty points ,cut the valuation of Alaska in 1867 at the time of its purchase is rather Insignificant matter in com parison with the valuation of the Territory today and an Old World which Il years ago regarded AL vaska as of no value whatever would be only too glad to have it in the year 1888. Rather than its value through history it's develop ment and protection is the important thing today. Making this point the P.-I says: Trans-polar flights of Soviet airmen have demonstrated the strategic importance Of Alaska air routes.
 The Japanese invasion of Alaska fisheries, suspended but with no promise of per manent withdrawal show the value that na- tions across the Pacific place upon Alaskan resources
 
 of Alaska by the United States.
 Both Alaska and the United States have profited immensely from the purchase of 1867
 But neither has yet profited to the extent that is possible.
 Closer ties with Alaska essential
 There must be no delay in establishing regular air mail service between Seattle and Juneau.
 Active steps toward planning the construc- tion of the Alaska International Highway await only favorable action bV the Canadian dominion government And all who appreci- ate the importance, alike to Canada and the United States. of this improvement, will tinue to hope for early word from Ottawa.
 And it is essential that Alaska must be pro- tected.
 The establishment of a naval air base in Alaska is the welcome first step. An army base, in Aaskas interior, and the eventual establishment of naval base, comparable with Pearl Harbor, will not merely guard AL aska, but enable Alaska to guard the United States from any threat from the Pacific
 And in a world facing the turmoil of 1938 who will say that such protection is not eSsary?
 Certainly development and protection vitally more important to the welfare of Alaska, well as the United States, today than worrying about the manner of the original purchace price which at its highest dirt cheap

| And when they knew, they say, Five
and two fishes.'' They made a sur
possession of lad, just enough to
furnish a meal for one person, but
it was enough for Jesus to bless and

as how it is used that counts.

Feeding the Hungry, Mark $50
A, for Sunday, March 13:
Jesus, wearied by arduous labor,
agitated by the death of John the
Baptist, desirous of instructing his
disciples alone, sailed from Caperna-
um across the Sea of Galilee to an
uninhabited spot on the northeast
shore Crowds followed him on land
around the northern end Of the sea,
met him when he landed and re-
manned with him until late in the
afternoon.
V. 30. 'And the apostles gather
ed themselves together unto Jesus,
they had done, and what they had
taught All men are accountable
for what they do and for what they
teach, and sooner or later must give
an account of their record to the
Lord. A true disciple makes his re-
port gladly.
Come ye yourselves spart into. a
desert place and rest while; for
there were many coming and going,
and they had no leisure so much as
to eat" 1t pleases the Lord to have
his followers work earnestly and
zealously thus earning a well de-
served rest. Some say the devil
never takes vacation and why
should Christians do SO. The an
swer is that we are not followers of
him.
VS.. 80, 33. "And they departed
into a desert place by ship, private
ly. And the people saw them de-
parting, and many knew him, and
ran afoot thither out of all cities,
and outwent them, and came to-
gether unto him. Great crowds
were anxious to see and hear and
receive and be benefited. They got
what they went after and more.
His work was mighty because the
people were receptive.
came out, saw much people, and
was moved with compassion toward
them, because they were as sheep
not having a shepherd and he be-
gan to teach them many things"
The spiritual needs of the people
aroused Christ's sympathy and pity.
and their eagerness to approach
him put them in a receptive mood.
Jesus is quick to answer when We
call. They We're in need of special
instruction such as only comes from
later fails as is seen in international
affairs. 1t is divine wisdom that
the world needs.
v. IS. 'sAnd when the day was
now far spent, his disciples came
unto him, and said, This is desert
place, and now the time is far pass
ed" When in good company time
flies. The disciples demonstrated
human wisdom as they advised
that they might find something to
eat. Divine wisdom is demonstrated
in the following verse.
" 81 "He answered and said
