FINDS NOTHING WRONG WITH TERRITORY; GIVE'
ALASKA TO ALASKANS, IS POLICY SET FORTH

against greed to remain a permanent
asset of incalculable value.
“Moreover, we have to guard I
against the appeal' of the demagogue j
whose play on popular prejudice for!
political advantage has no place in
l he solution of great problems or
national conservation."
Approves Forest Policy
He admitted that he must confess j
that the forest conservation seemed
to him too drastic- when he traveled,
through the Alaskan forests, Inft had
found the people of* Alaska did not
think so, adding: I fear the ehiet
opponents of the forestry policy have
never seen Alaska and their concern
for speedy Alaskan development is
not inspired by Alaskan interests." j (
He told the audience: "It has been,
sought to provide for the utilization:
of Alaskan forests and at the same
time provide for their p o y tou ion I
through reproduction. The applies-,
lion of this policy to the proposed j
paper and pulp industry in Alaska
will make for ready understanding."!
He described in detail the system
of leasing or Alaska pulp land and]
water power units and declared these i
conditions are more favorable than j
those on the crown lands of Canada.;
He said the alleged red tape in ad-l
ministration of the National forests!
af Alaska was like the regulations;
• under which manufacturers had been
V working in the States for a long time
with satisfaction and that conditions
which delay Alaskan development are '
l he same as those which caused Ohio
In develop before Nebraska and that j
Alaskan development is as sure as
Nebraska's had been.
Refers to Coal Dcvelopmetn
Turning to the roul resources of;
Ihe -Territory, the President said: j
“Alaska might well be supplying
lonl for her own industrial and do
mestie needs but participation in a -
lug way in the world fuel supply
must await big capital in develop

lation costs which pic-"ill day con

. Concerning oil development, the

quire large capital to develop them
and that leases must he made at

Do Your Appreciate Your Children?
By HELEN GREGG GREEN.
I happened tu In* clintt{ng at my
neighbor's across the way, wircn
Iipt little danglit- r liilila. and he;
niece, a year older, came home from
tebool.
"I,ook at lay report. Aunt May
nolle," said Mario, thrusting her re
port at her aunt.
"And where is your’s, daughter?'
Hilda's mother demanded.
“Oh darling,' don't call me ‘daugh
ter,’ evaded Hilda.
Then coaxing the child's report
card from her, the mother began to
scrutinize it.
"1 suppose you've disappointed me
again," she exclaimed, while Hilda
stood pulling nervously at her little
[land kerchief.
“Why is it." the mother asked,
‘that one member of the family inis
til the brains? Oh, Hilda, this i>
00 disheartening," site said.
"But, look, Mrs. Field," beggm
Hilda, handing me the report. "Don’t
rou think my art grade Is good?"
if was exeellent, and so was hei
music grade, both of which thf
mother seemed to have igno; d.
A few days later i met Hilda's
teacher.
“How is my little neighbor, Hilda
?ettlng along in sclvml?” i enquired.
"Well,” the teacher hesitated.
‘I don't know. There's something
wrong. Msome one is killing that
’hild's spirit, I can't fathom it. Slit
lias a beautiful voice, quite the lov
licst In the room, but the other day
[ noticed she was not leading t,ho
children In the singing as usual, That
lftcnioon f called her to me, as she
was washing the oard. I asked;
Why Is it, my dear, that my little
girl hasn't, been singing lately?’ And
;o my surprise, she began crying,
[ can’t sing. All I do is to wish
1 could get, grades like Marie’s.’ ”
I said, “Oh, I thought so."
And Miss Reid, seeing I was in
:erested, continued.
“Poor little <^hild! She has tried
to hard, and she does good work in
ichool. As for her cousin, Marie, site
s a brilliant child, hut site is not
i lovable one. I had several tin
'ortunata experiences with her, while
Tilda," her brown eyes danced, "is
he pride of my heart. She has, oh,
10 much personality,”
And then I told her the little In
•Ident of the report.
“Ah, at Jast we have th< answer.
Well. I don’4 need to go down town,
inyway. I am TJoing to see Hilda's
nother,” she declared.
The next day my neighbor across
he way came to see me.
"Oh, what a foolish mother I’ve
teen," she said, “breaking the spirit
if my little girl. I am so grateful
'.o her teacher for opening my eyes.

of its resources wrenched out of it
by ruttiless means and mass effic
iency, we will never create, or need
real agriculture there." lie added, in
the development of the fanning in
dustry Alaska would'have to learn
much front older countries with simi
lar conditions and said the ^Govern
ment is doing too little along this
line.
After discussing farming he said:
"In another direction there is justi
fication *»>r a more liberal dtsposi^hn
•—that of road and trail building."
He pointed out the necessity for pro
viding feeders for the Alaska Ruil- i
road.
Regarding the Alaska Railroad. In* I
said: "I nless I am greatly mistak
on, this gorgeously scenle route, ^
500 miles through a riotous excess;
of natures beauties and wonders,
is destined to attract travelers from;
all the world as soon as its sTTtiai ■
lions are commonly circulated."
lie said the seal fisheries have
been placed under regulations insur
ing their profitable development and
that similar polities had been ap
plied to fur bearing animals on the
mainland with good results.
Having referred to the fox fann
ing industry, he declared: “Alaska
is well on the way to an enormous
expansion in fur production and what
Is far more significant making tills
product as permanent a source of
wealth us are cotton and corn In the
South."
He expressed a doubt as to whether:
any aboriginal people had developed1
faster than the Indians of Alaska |
and said their faithfulness and in
dustry, had brought the reindeer
herds from nothing to 300,000 uni i
mills.
Praises Alaska Scenery
President Harding began his ad-j
dreBs with praise for the scenic |
~ beauties of Alaska, although recog i
nixing, he said, that “words serin1
inadequate to portray the grandeur,
to measure the magnificence, to ex 1
press the mightiness, or acclaim the
glory of monumental mountains and
tlieir Jeweled valleys."

partitive. I have never favored the
reserve system or idea, hut in the
alienee of legislation it is today the
only alternative. The reserves in
the waters to the Westward have
(‘pirated accssefully during the past
y<: r. The- outcry about fishermen
bring denied their rights is with
out basis in fact. For months I
have 1'iuglit a specific case of any
man or set of men being injured by
the i stablishrnent of fishing zones
and have been unable to find a
‘ingle instance. Uniformly permits
have been issued to fishermen with
out delay. The curtailment of nets
and ether fishing gear during the
season lia> approximately forty per!
cent. This means conservation. At'
Anchorage, Seward and Cordova Sec-j
rotary Hoover held hearings and not|
a complaint was submitted to him. I
It is Improbable that lcgislation/by;
Congress, vesting full authority in!
tic Department of Commerce, can j
ho secured during the next short
f?l Ion. extremists meet whenever
a It-aerie law is under considera
tion and Kiuitublo legislation is
retarded and rendered well-nigh im
pn-sible. Conditions in the various
fishing waters of Alaska are divergent
and regulations cannot be made
uniform. Under the direction of
such a man as Herbert Hoover un
questionably all just rights will be
protected and maintained and real
conservation achieved In the inter
i ’. not only of Alaska, hut the1
world at large, it is patent that!
the ti .lienee problem can not be)
tightly solved us a political issue!
and Alaskans may depend upon it I
that polities will, not be permitted I
to stand in. the way of essential!
regulations."
