 We must do more than statlo. troops and warshipS and build bases there," Bartlett continued. We must build industries. We must establish farmers there. We must do these things not at some far off future tune, but now.
 We must build roads. We must improve, and at once, the AlaSka Railroad. We must expand civi- aviation and see to it that there is a strong merchant marine"
 Bartlett sad few Americans realize the tremendous strides made in Soviet Russia in t.4e Mu. of settlement and industrial ex- pansion in an area similar to Alas ka. This area, he said, has a pop ulation of 20,000,000.
