Level At POW Labor

Secretary of War Henry L. Stim- son got in the line of fire when Development Board members heard from War Manpower Commission Alaska Area Director A. A. Hedges that Under Secretary of War Pat terson was recently quoted as de- claring that any American citizen laborer could have any prisoner of wars job for the asking.
 The board wired Stimson: ". fifty workmen in Juneau alone currently seeking employment while 800 prisoners of war do dismantling work at abandoned base Excursion Inlet. The Alaska Development Board urgently requests that un- employed American citizens be given this employment and the prisoners of war be withdrawn"

National Park Action

Action was called for in the de- velopment of Alaska's National Parks, with the board urging Con- gressional approval of plans to con- struct new and additional tourist facilities in Glacier Bay and at Mt. Mckinley.
 Pointing out that great areas of withheld land in the three Alaskan National Parks or Monuments, Mckinley, Glacier Bay and Katmai, are unavailable to development, settlement or hunting and trapping, the board urged prompt action.
 Text of the letter to Congress- men and federal officials is as follows:
 "The Alaska Development Board, at its second annual session, de- voting itself to the problems Of postwar development of Alaska, desires to record its view and re- spectfully urges that the develop ment of national parks and monu- ments in Alaska by the Federal Government is an indispensable step in the development of the tourist business, which the board feels offers the one best, immediate, and important prospect of improv- ing Alaska's economy.
 a--1.. toaa-l 1oeirac racpoctfIll1V to call to the attention Of the members of Congress that the Fed eral Government has set aside three large areas as national parks and monuments, namely: Mt. Mckinley National Park, l,939,200 acres, in 1917. Katmai National Monument, 2,697, ,590 acres, in 1918, and Glacier Bay National Monument, 2,297,456 acres, in 1926.
 These areas, rich in wildlife and natural beauty, because of their being national parks and monu- ments, are taken out of use for private development, for settlement or for hunting and trapping. It IS therefore, respectfully urged that the development of at least two of these areas, Mt. Mckinley National Park and Glacier Bay Monument, be undertaken promptly and that Congress approve the appropria- tion of the funds necessary for that purpose along the lines pro- posed by the National Park Service.
 "The Alaska Development Board feels that this investment by the Federal Government will serve as a great stimulus to private enter prise to develop private lodges, hotels, camps and cabins for the accommodation of tourists if the

Alaskan representation on the International Fisheries Commission charged with administration of the North Pacific Halibut Treaty, is re- quested by the board.

 At present, the International Fisheries Commission is composed of two Americans, resident in the United States, and two residents of the Dominion of Canada.

Housing Needs Desperate

The Development Board session called to, the attention of Congress Alaska's desperate need for housing and urged the inclusion of Alaska to the fullest extent possible in postwar housing legislation.
 Board members said: With thousands of service men returning to civilian life, it is a tragic fact that there is little or no place for these men to live. The present situation is that any postwar de- yelopment, much of which is prom ising and of immediate prospect, is strangled by the inability of men and women to find even the most inadequate quarters in which to live"

Gasser Goes To Washington

In the light of problems arising out of a steadily increasing influx of farmer settlers in Alaska, the Development Board authorized the sending of Alaskas Territorial Con- missioner of Agriculture, G. w.. Gasser, to Washington, D. c.
 Gasser, whose Alaskan farming record dates back to 1907, will seek federal cooperation in developing concrete plan for the agricultural development of the Territory.
 We don't have enough money in the Territorial Department of Agriculture to begin to cope with the problem" Gasser declared. We need a real program of land classi- 1 fication, and we need an active soil testing service. We must have more technical assistance and more laboratory facilities. A great many | farmers have come to Alaska in recent months and the rush is ap-

Sucker Paradise

A Better Business Bureau for Alaska was recommended to the Territorial Chamber of Commerce by the board.
 Several complaints had been reg istered with the board from Alaskan newspaper publishers and business men that "fly-by -nighters" in the solicitation of advertising and busi- ness investment are taking an in- creasing amount of money out of the Territory.
 "A certain type of promoter has always considered Alaska a sucker salesman's paradise" board mem bers declared, adding, it seems ap- parent this type of promoter is working Alaska to greater degree today than ever before. The in- creasing tempo of business de- velopment in the Territory under lines the necessity for Alaskan business men organizing to protect themselves"

Alaskan business will be thor oughly catalogued for the first time through cooperative plan worked out between the Alaska Develop ment Board and the War Man power Commission.
 The survey will list every AL askan business, from the self employed individual to the largest industry, and will provide clearer picture of investment and employ ment opportunities.
 It is planned that the listing will be regularly brought up to date and will eliminate in a business index publication to be issued at regular intervals by the offices of the Alaska Development Board.

Following the awards, Mont
gomery assembled the men around
him in a Semicircle and told them
he desired "to take this opportu-
nifty of paying tribute on behalf
of the British armies for tho
armies of America"
lie told them that in 1910 Great
Britain was in dire straits anc
practically finished.
"As a British soldier, I won
dered how we would ever come
through the war" he told them.
81 used to ask myself how il
was possible that Britain came
through. Then In 1871 the Axis
powers made the great mistake.
Germany attacked Russia
and Japan attacked America.
When history IL written these
will be noted as the Axis pow
ers' greatest mistakes. I he ter-
mans knew they could not hope

came In.

into the war was the only thing
that saved the British. We owe
