I'RKSlimXT OF BANK OK
ALASKA KKTIHNS HOME
Alter an absence of five months,
during which time tnc president of
the Hunk of Alaska, Mr. 10. A. Kas
muson, with his family, traveled
thru Canada, the I'niled States
| parts of Britain, France, Italy, Aus
tria. Switerland, Germany, Belgium
and Sweden, he has had a fine op
portunity to see and note condi
tions in Europe at first hand. The
travelers went over on the S. S.
Beruiigaria, and returned on the S.
S. Aquitanla, the sea trips on both
parages being calm and without in
cident.
Speaking of conditions which pre
vail in continental Kurope, to a rep
resentative of the Daily Alaskan,
Mr. Hasmuson s'atcd that it was
hard to conceive of the extent of the
ravages of the war, that from the
f i.uirial and particularly the mo^al
standpoint, the effects of the war
will be felt for two or three genera
tions. The moral tone of contin
ental Kurope is felt to be below that
'o which it has ever before dropped
In the war zone in Frar.ce. so far
;;s the towns are concerned, condi
tions appear to be much the same
as when the troops left after the
armistice, but the fields are mostly
in cultivation as they were before
tiie war. In the towns very little
has been done for tehabilitation, and
they appear as big mounds of brok
en stones and mortar.
The fear of France for Germany
und the bitterness of Germany for
France and the confident feeling
lint another day is coming, when
revenge will be had Is apparent at
all times. Of those not In the war
Switzerland appears to have suiter
i'd most in the aftermath, for the
imlk of her tourist travel lias been
turned from her. 011 account of high
exchange rate and the fret that she
has 110 battlefields tc visit.
Austria, in the estimation of the
traveler, is the poorest country on
the continent, povorty stalks there
in all its terror and wretchedness.
The women of Germany bear in
their faces the marks of the awful
struggle thru which the nation has
gone, tho the men are as care free
us if the war had never been. Ger
many is busy, thrifty and hard at
work to recuperate, determined to
repay, but when repayment has been
made to provide a way to regain all
she has lost, and to humble France.
Italy impressed our townsman as
a treeless, dry and not country. In
contrast with the shaded avenues In
other lands Italy's streets are with
out trees. But for exquisite, drtis
t.ic and expensive mausoleums Genoa
has every other European city out
classed in every particular. This al
so is true of the battlefield cemeter
ies In France. Those of Italy are the
finest and most elaborately adorned |
and most permanent of all the na
tions. Our cemeteries are well kept,
and in clarge of soldiers. Every
courtesy is shown those going there.
Wearing apparel thruout Europe
is as high in price, hut generally
inferior in ciuality to that purchased
in the United States. But when it
conies to manufactured articles
there is a vast difference.
Speaking of the beauties of cities,
Mr. Kasmuson declared that of all
the cities he visited, Washington!
was the most beautiful, partly he
cause of its exceptional shade trees,
its wide expanse of lawns with no
"Keep off the Grass" signs and its
lakes and river. Of the buildings
the Congressional Library was the
most beautiful visited, and of the
rooms seen, one in the ex-Kaiser's
palace at Potsdam was the most
striking.
Speaking of his visit to the Pope
at Rome, Mr. Rasmuson was im
pressed with his kindliness and his
democracy, the Pope gave most of
his thought to Elmer and talked
more with him than any other.
Delegate Sutherland accompanied
the Kasmusons on their call on the
President, and according to a rule
of the White House, had the pre
ceedence of any other visitors on
that day. The President was most
gracious in his manner and express
ed regret that they had to visit him
in Washington, instead of his calling
on them In Alaska. He expressed
himself as eager to come to Alaska,
and said he was planning to do so
next summer."
Mr. Rasmuson's family will re-l
main in Seattle for the winter, but
will come north In the spring. He
himself plans to spend the winter
here, and most of that time he will |
he with the branch banks at Cordova,
and Anchorage.
While in San Francisco Mr. Ras
muson had a most pleasant exper-|
ience at a meeting of a large com
pany of the leading business men I
and bankers of that city. These
men were keen on getting informa
tion as to what Alaska needed most,
and what part they and their city,
might have in its development. Mr.'
Rasmuson laid before them a plan,
a part of which was a colonization
scheme for the section along the
railroad, and In the Tanana valley,
which he felt would be the best so
lution of Alaska's big problems. This
colonization would involve the
transplanting of farmers from north
ern Europe to the interior and thus
start what will be permanent resi
dents who will grow up In and de
velop that region and the territory.
The men of San Francisco stand
ready to take* hold of a project which
will aid in Alaska's development.
Mr. Rasmuson leaves for the West
ward on the neit Jefferson.
