KRUG PLEDGES SUPPORT TO ALASKA TERMING IT
 AMERICAN FRONTIER

JUNEAU-pledging his support wh0leheartedly to Alaska. which Ee termed "the real American frontier" Secretary of the Interior Julius A. Krug this week predicted a new era of friendship between the Department of Interior and the people of the Territory of Alaska
 'T meant fl sineerely,9 he said when I said l came to Alaska not to speak, but to listen to your problems. However. I have con- tracted an irritated thorat in the last few days. evidently the result of speaking. I find it difficult to resist expressing my pleasure in the wonderful visit through your great territory
 "It was not too long ago that felt a bit sorry for people who went to Alaska thought of tle Territory as being a rugged coun- try filled with ice. snow. grizzly bears, etc, and fed by odd con cections mixed up locally or ship ped in from a far distant place called Seattle
 Envy Alaskans
 Now I envy people who come here. I have offered to change io1s with you Alaskans and some daY you may find me settled here ia your community, enjoying the great opportunities your country offers"
 Stating that in making his trip has reasons were initially two fold, Secretary Krug said they were: first, to find out about AL askan problems, how they affected the residents of Alaska and their respective welfare; second, to de- termine the many ways in which the future economy and prosperity of Alaska is tied up with that Of the entire nation. A third reason has now entered the picture, he said-the ways in which the se- curity of Alaska and the security of the U. S. at large are tied to- gether for ultimate peace and ua- tional dignity.
 All of your problems now go beyond any one of you. or any group of you" the speaker said "They are irrevocably intermingled with those of your fellow citizen. in the United States"
 Forming his visit too brief dua knowledge too incomplete to '. T. luately summarize his impresslors Of AIaska's many-faceted prob lens, Secretary Krug nevertheless headlined one imminent need, hf termed "a major problem, - that
 of bringing more people into the Territory.
 Day-To Day Problem
 We cant get more people until We do something about day-to-day problems-which because of their lack of political aspect and glam- or, I like to call 'dishwasher prob lens, , he said. "These are such things as housing. cost of living, and health"
 They cannot be solved by the Federal government, although that agency may offer effective aid, he said, "They can only be solved by such men as you who are attend ing this luncheon today"
 He added that You will have the full support of the Secretary of Interiors office-T pledge that, but no amount of fancy blueprints can straighten out these problems rom Washington, D. c. The prec- tical solution lies with you a. eladers of the Territory. We, in Washington stand by to give you every assistance"

There was a pause: all eyes
turned to Brian de ois-Guilbert.
He was silent.

In fact, Bois-Guilbert seemed
agitated by contending passions

strained voice that at last he re-
piled, looking to Rebecca,-'The

But Rebecca put another inter
probation on the words extorted
as it were from Bois-G uilbert,
and glancing her eye upon the
slip of parchment which she con-
tinued to hold in her hand, she
read written thereupon in the
Arabian character, Demand a

She took her embroidered glove
from her hand, and flung it down
before the Grand Master with
an air of mingled simplicity and
dignity which excited universal
surprise and admiration.
