CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio asserted tonight
that New Deal economists are Sc

Attacking the insane financial

to spend at least S1.0o0s000 a year for ten years in the construction of roads in order to make lie toler- able for the settlers. And fl the Gov ernment spends that amount of money on roads it is not necessary to pass the bill at all. because Alas ka will be populated just as fast as roads are built to take care of the needs of the settlers.
 Tn fact. the principal reason why we in Alaska are obliged to call for aid from the Federal Government for the construction of roads and other public works is largely be- cause more than 99 per cent of the area of Alaska is still in the public domain and the Government is proprietor and landlord The roads to be built run through the public domain and open it up to settlement and development If the Federal Government will give 10 the Terri tory of Alaska the title deed to all of the public domain in Alaska. both reserved and unreserYed. the Ter ritory Of Alaska will never call upon the Federal Government 10 give a single dollar in subsidy or handout or any expenditure whatever eX- cept as to function like the Post Office Department. which are mon opolized by the Federal Government. The people of Alaska are not to blame for existing conditions in the Territory. II is obviously to the national interest to have more peO- pie in Alaska and since the national interest is served by the increase in population of Alaska it is not un- just or unfair. nor should il be con- sidered as a crying for and exist ing on Federal subsidies if we sug- gest to the Federal Government that as the great landlord of Alaska that Government may well provide a req sonable amount of money for the construction of roads in the Terri tory"

ON T61B WASHLINGT TON FRONT

A great many words were uttered at the recent hearings in Washing ton on the bill for the proposed set clement and development of Alaska. known as s. 3577. Among those urgz ing its passage was. of course. Sec retary Ickes. is father; Paul Cor den. who used to be with the In- dian office in the Territory and now works for the Secretary in the Di- vision of Territories and Island Pos sessions. and George ". Folta. for mer Assistant District Attorney in the First Division. and now an em- ployee of Secretary Ickes as Soliei- tor for the Interior Department Natlbally. the latter two weren't going to oppose the boss. For Alas kans real sound of their voice came with the utteranees of Dele gate Anthony J. Dimond. Here's what the Delegate had to say about it.
 My special objection to that bill is based on those provisions which seek to admit non-quota aliens to Alaska and at the same time bar them from the United States I wish my position on this to be made clear I am not here concerned with any changes that Congress may see it to make in our immigration laws so as to take care of some Of the people of Europe who are now being persecuted for racial or religious reasons and who ere deserving not only of our sympathy but of all the help that we can give them con- sistent to our duties to our own people. But 1 shall oppose to the full measure of all Of my strength any proposal which will admit anybody to Alaska who is not eligible to en- ter the United States. Alaska is a part of the Nation and we decline to have it set off from the rest of Ihe Nation as a sort of special land where people may reside who are not citizens and who are not per- mitted to be in the remainder of the United States. In the long run to permit anything of that kind would be disastrous for the Terri tory. My views on that matter have been more fully expressed in a let ter dated March % addressed to Senator Tydings in answer to his invitation to state my views on the bill under consideration.
 HOW ABOUT ROADS
 If it is really desired to increase the population of Alaska, nothing additional is needed except trans. portation facilities, principally to consist of roads in the Territory AS

fast as roads are built in the Terri l tory in suitable regions, people will settle along them and will make use of the agricultural and mineral lands and of the fisheries Of the ad- l joining seas. Without roads. how ever, life in the more remote regions l is hopeless. particularly for women and children. IT Congress will pro- vide, in addition to present appro- priation. s1.000.000 a year for the next ten years for road construction, and if Alaska Is connected with the. States by highway, it is ny consid- cred judgment that We shall get att least 5000 new settlers a year which are probably about as many as can be absorbed safely under the present economic set-up of the Territory. of course. if our potential pulp indus try is developed. we may confidently look forward to a substantial ad- ditionaI increase in population For sake of emphasis I must say again that our principal requirement. for the settlement and the increase in population and the development of. Alaska lies in roads, roads within the boundaries of the Territory. It. would be helpful. of course. and greatly helpful. if a way could be. found to complete the highway to. Alaska from the States. a plan that. is now under consideration by the. Alaskan International Highway Commission Airfields, too. are nee essary, and air transportation facil- ities. but for the permanent settle ment and development of Alaska the first, and most important. thing needed is roads.
 ON SUBSIDIES
 Tn this connection I am not un- mindful of the suggestion Of the Secretary that some of the people of Alaska prefer Federal subsidies to private financing and that they condemn the plan on that account. The exact language of Secretary Ickes in this respect is as follows: There are other Alaskans who are so used to crying for and existing on Federal subsidies that any plan that would depend on private fi- nancing will be viewed as a sub- stitute for Government spending (which is true enOugh) and they will condemn the plan on that ac- mount l regret exceedingly that any such statement was made as an argument in favor of the bill or made at all. for I know Alaska in- timately and I do not know of any Alaskan, and l have never heard of one, and I do not believe there is one, who prefers Federal subsidies to private financing. In fact. the ardent desire Of all of Us is to be able to live without the Federal sub sidies of any kind at the earliest possible moment
 Therefore, while l have suggested that for the settlement ol Alaska what is desirable and what is need ed is an extension of roads in the Territory and have further stated that the sum of sl,0O0,000 a year could be well and profitably spent upon that work for the next ten years, may I invite the attention of the Committee to the fact that un- der the plan proposed in the bill it will be absolutely necessary, in my judgment, for the Government to undertake the building of roads and the expense Of that construction will be at least as large as the sum that have suggested. So even if the bill is passed I anticipate. and I have good grounds to believe, that the Government will be called upon
