Seeks Practical Course
A practical course of administra
tion Is sought by the Department
of the Interior rattier than a Theor
etical one, declared Secretary Work
who spoke briefly following the Pres
blent. He said:
"It would not become me, per
l^aps, to refer to this weather af
being favorable to any religious sect.
I would not do that now certainly;
but Immediately after we landed at
the wharf I said to some of my
friends, ‘This must be a Presbyter

thought that perhaps the system of!
government was perhaps a little cum-1
| bersotne; that there was a little too;
much circumlocution about it anil a
i iitttle too much duplication. Now I,
! have had the prlvlledge of coming to
Alaska with tho President, and my
state of mind is one op inquiry. I
have not closed my mind on any
subject pertaining to my department
in Alaska, nor to nay proposition or
problem that you may present. 1
| have, of course, as everyone Inis,1
certain Indefinite preconceived ideas
of the administration of my depart
ment in Alaska, hut my mind Is not
dosed on any question. I want to
onsult with those interested In
the future of Alaska, those who live
here and who know about its prob
lems at first hand and can tell me
the praactieal course to pursue rather
than to make mere theoretical sug
g^st’on. The three members of the
Cabinet who are with the President
on this tour have more to do with
the internal questions of the Alaskan
government than any others, and
that. I assume, was the reason why
they were selected to accompany the
President. 1 believe we are all of
an open mind: we want to hear from
you what we may best do to fur-;
ther tho Interests of Alaska."
Looks For Complaints
A desire to hear from people who
! had complaints to present on the
j administrative policies of the Depart
ment of Agriculture was expressed
I hy Secretary Wallace. In his In-1
I troductlon of the Secretary, Gov.
| Done had said inasmuch as the
j Weather Bureau is In his depart
ment he was holding the Secretary
responsible for the brand of weather j
that greeted the Presidential party.:
In his short talk, Secretary Wal-1
; lace said:
"I wondered whether I might be |
i so fortunate as to escape this front-j
porch campaign without some ref-1
erence to the weather. For the hene
fnt of Governor Done and of any
others who may he of his opinion, j
I may Bay that the Weather Bureau I
l has two functions. One of them '
j Is to claim credit for good weather,
| and the oth -r is to record faithfully I
I had weather. We have discharged
! the latter function today and we
will hand down to posterity a rec
ord of this day's rain which will
he a true record.
"As the President has said, and as
Dr. Work has emphasized, I came
not to talk so much as to see, to
hear, to learn, and to understand.
Each of the three Departments rep
resented here has certain definite
responsibilities to you people, to
I Alaska, and to all the people of the
[tTrilrd States. The Department of
j Agriculture has supervision or the
j fords ts. It lias the responsibility of
| trying tohelp you so far as possible
build up/your agriculture in those
'Sections suited to it. The Depart
, ment also has certain responsibili
ties with regard to your game and
| fur-earing animals. I have heard
I Touch of red-tape In Alaska: I have
! heard much of bureaucratic control.
! and I want to learn the facts In re-I
■ gard to those suggestions. Blit if
'there is any complaint or any critl-j
1 clsm concerning the manner in which
!the Department of Agriculture Is'
j conducting its activities, I want to
I hear from the people who can pre-1
jsent the complaint, and we >vlll either;
i give reason for our manner of ad-i
ministration or tve will change It.”
Hoover Applauded
; The applause which greeted Sec
i retary Hoover’s appearance was one
j of the’features of the occasion. He
declared the trip is being made
among other tilings to establish a
personal contact with the people of
the Territory. The Secretary said:
“1 am sorry that the Secretary of
Agriculture preceded me for he seems
to have turned on even more rain,
jl detect In your kindly welcome
the evidence of a former association
of mine with you at a time during
the war when we Bought your co
operation In a great national effort
and secured It. I also find in that
note of welcome which you have
given to the President and my col
leagues an attitude of mind and a
feeling on jour purt that we have
come here with the hope of por
I forming a useful service for you.
We have come, indeed, in the hope
that we may learn more of the
problems of Alaska, the problems of
the human element. It Is not diffi
cult to determine matters of science
and methods of handling great en
terprises, hut It is Infinitely diffi
cult to determine questions affecting
human relationships to the Govern
ment, and also affecting the devel
| opment of our natural resources. It
Is In that light that we wish to
get In contact with you and for
that purpose that we have come.
I thank you for your greeting.”

which you are Interested and the
changes and reforms which you de
sire Instituted are for the most part
taken care or hy the administration
and yh the Cabinet officers who are
here for the purpose of making the
necessary'investigation; but it may
be that there are some fundamental
changes In which you will be Inter
ested which will require legisla
tion by Congress. I presume, though
I do not know, that when the Presi
dent invited me to Join him on this
trip he had an idea that It might
be well that someone from the leg
islative branch of the government
should also come here in order to
obtain first-hand impressions. At any
rato I am very glad to be hero
and I have already pnjoyed immense
ly the few days we have spent in
Alaska. I have been particularly
interested to watch the people. I
heard all kinds of stories as I came
northward. For instance, I heard
that men here bought their land from
the Indians for a bo'tle of whiskey
and that since the Volstead law a
good many of them were trying to
swap back on the same original
theme. (I-aughter.) 1 presume that
story is nttterly wlhout fonndatlon;
certainly I have seen no evidenc^of
Its truth. 1 have, however? been
struck hy the energy, enterprise, In
telligence and attractiveness of the
people. I have admired the healthy
looking children, the handsome girls,
and the vigorous and enterprising ap
pearing men. So I assu(re you I
shall go back with a more favorable
impression of your magnificent re
gion. not only of its tremendous ex
panses, but also of the hopefulness f
of its people. Of course all you will
wani in legislation is merely that
which will be just, and I cant pronk
ise you for myself that I will not\
only be in favor of what is just,
but I will favor justice tempered with
partiality and good will”
