ALASKA'S DEVELOPMENT

recent article by Richard L. Neuberger, who
spent some time in Alaska and the Yukon during
the war, advocates admitting to Alaska at least
500 900 of the homeless men, women and children OF
Europe" His theory is that Alaska needs people in
order to support its huge area and develop
Another recent article, written by Edwin G.
Arnold of the Department the Interior states that
Alaska has a population inadequate in numbers and
organization to develop its vast resources"
Both articles are based the thesis that all
Alaska needs for rapid development is people
This is false theory which puts the cart before
the horse. If only few thousand persons came to
Alaska today to make their homes they would be
unable to find employment to support themselves,
nor could they make their livings from the soil.
Alaskas prime need today is the investment of
capital the development of industries and the
expansion of the present This must before the
people.
Alaska today, during the busy summer, must
employ thousands of resident workers in it's fish
ing industry and construction industry These indus
tries are seasonal because of the weather and
the other because of the time of the year the fish
run. The men employed during the summer in these
tasks cannot find employment during the winter and
must go back where they came from until the next
season.
1t is estimated that the establishment of pulp
mill program in Southeast Alaska may employ as
many 10000 workers in time But if 10000 persons
from Europe elsewhere had come to Southeast
Alaska several years ago. still would not have
pulp industry. This is illustration of what we
mean when we say that the capital investment must
first.
Today shortage of pulp for newsprnt plus a
high price and the passage of legislation protecting
potential investors from the aboriginal claims may

their chief disagreement: How

MacVeagh has always argued
that the Greeks must change their

must not emulate Moscow and die

However, GriSwold, even before
he left Washington, bluntly in

newspaper men in Washington, and
everyone of them agreed that my

government in Greece"
Il have the highest regard for
the newspapermen of Washington, -
replied Secretary Marshall, in eff
feet, but 1 hardly think they
are in a position to assume re-
sponsibility for changing the
Greek government"
Nevertheless, when Gov. Griswold
arrived in Athens, he called first
on the man he proposed to make
Prime Minister, Archbishop Dam

Winston Churchill In calling on
the Archbishop Griswold ignored
the King of Greece and Prime
Minister Maximos, whom he should
have called on first.
Griswold's proposal to shake up
the Greek Cabinet has persevered,
and the final result should be
healthy. Chief trouble in Greece,
however. can be solved by neither
Griswold nor MacVeagh, whether
they agree or disagree namely
the constant drumfire of Soviet

This is increasing.
