Chamber Backs Move For Alaska
 Marine Hospital

WrangeIl Chamber of Commerce at it's regular luncheon meeting Monday went on record endorsing plan for marine hospital facilities in Alaska to include fishermen as proposed by the Cannery Workers Auxiliary Union and the Alaska Sal mon Purse Seiners Union at their recent convention in Craig. :.
 It was brought out that marine hospital facilities in Seattle has been taken over for use of the Army and Navy and that serious consideration should be given to building such a hospital in Alaska to serve Alaskans. It was pointed out that Wrangell has more to offer in location, cli- mate and other advantages than any other city in the Territory. The mat ter was turned over to the Home Industries Committee, Fred Hanford, Chairman, to follow through in CO., operation with other organizations.

Here's Picture AlaSka'S All
 Out Defense

Just before the war broke out
 between America and Japan.
 Sam Jackson, Associated Press
 writer, made a comprehensive
 survey of the Alaska defense
 situation. Here, in the second of
 a series of three articles, he
 tells what the war means to
 Alaska and what Alaska means
 to America.
 This land of the Eskimo, the to- tenn pole and the midnight sun has forgotten tourist-trade color for a. while and is concentrating on all out defense.
 Alaska is close to Japan. and ii is even closer to efficient air and submarine bases in Siberia, which Delegate Anthony J. Dimond charges were constructed by Nazi technicians during the Russian German eollab- oration.
 American territory. and Russian territory which conceivably could be seized by Japan, are in plain sight of each other on Bering strait. The nearest bodies of land are Russia's Big Diomede isalnd and Americas Little Diomede
 Alaskans realize that their fish. furs, gold and forests make the ter ritory tempting prize.
 Today the situation is different from that in the World War of l917-18. Then Alaska was drained of young manpower with no returns to itself. The only substantial war activity was the production of the great Kennecott copper mine.
 But for the last three years army. navy, and territorial agencies have been at work to make Alaska as nearly impregnable as possible.
 On a far-flung Unalaska island. within flying distance of Japan, the navy has been constructing a large base. Closer to the Alaskan main land, bases are under way at Ko- diak and sitka.
 The army has big projects going at Anchorage, Fairbanks and An nette island. An improved port and rail terminal is under construction at Whittier.
 A string of air fields is being constructed by the Civil Aeronautics Authority, They are closely linked with similar development in vast British Columbia, a province larger than Washington, Oregon and Cal ifornia combined.
 As forewarning of the coming storm, at least two members of Congress have demanded in the last year that the United States acquire air bases in Siberia which would

Transportation Company. it appears that the company has paid diyi- dends on it's stock from the day oi it's organization until the end of 1940 whiech would average 50% per year.
 At the conclusion of the testimony for the companies, l made a state= ment and put in evidence all the telegrams. letters, and resolutions which had been sent me by the peo- pie of Alaska opposing the increase of rates. l had no communication from anyone in Alaska favoring the increase. I also urged upon the ex- aminer that the companies had fail- ed to justify the increase because they had refused to show anything of their operations for 1941, except for November 90 until December 9. sibly said that a case had been made out of which would justify an in- crease of 45ao, or any increase whatever, and that before any in- crease was granted the Commission should examine the books and re- cords of the companies and deter mine just how much, if anything might be needed to permit the com panies to operate with only a req sonable profit and not with such ex- aggerated profits as they might have enjoyed in 1941. I also urged that if, upon such an examination, it should be found that the eompan- ies would suffer a deficit in their operations on account of the extra ordinary risks due to the war, that deficit should be borne by the Gov ernment itself and not be imposed solely upon those in Alaska who are obliged to make use of the services of the steamship eompaniesi that any such extra costs are purely the result of the war and should no more be charged against the people of Alaska than the cost of installing the military and naval posts and bases in Alaska; that any such in crease in rates as 45 % was simply insupportable and would inevitably lead to a measurable depopulation of the Territory, to a spiraling in crease in all prices and living costs of the Territory and in the end would defeat it's own purpose by reason of the reduction in the Ter ritory's population.
 Governor Testifies
 Governor Gruening also made a statement to the same effect and similar statements were made by MT.

A statement prepared by Mir. James c. Kettle of the National Resources Planning Board was read in evil dence MT. Kettle fully agreed with the conclusions of the others that any deficit in the steamships to A laska should be met by the Federal
