THAN THAT OF ANY OTHE™ T MARKETING FOREST PRODUC In another column will be found an editor from the New York Times commenting on article on Alaska written by Ge s P Richardson, former President of th 1l Commission, and which appeared in cirrent Atlantic Monthly. G rally the Time posi- tion is sound and in ement with the line of thought pursued by reral Richardson. In| one respect, we believe it is in error, the result of n viewpoint so influenced by the magnitude | of eastern industry that it is more local than | national. This is the Times's conclusion as to the con- ditions which will lead to the development of ska's forest resources. In this id Southeastern connection it Her wood pulp will be sold in larger | volume when the forests more accessible to the Atlantic seaboard are exhausted | It is not competition from the eastern coast | of the United States and Canada whic¢h impede the development of Alaskan fores it is more | than possible that none of Alaska's wood pulp | and manufactured paper product ecome into the markets now generally supplicd by Atlantic seaboard resources. It is not alto manufacturies will have an all-water route avail- able while those of the Atlantic strip must de-| pend to some extent on rail as well as water. There are markets, however, so far west of the Atlantic that under presnt day costs and at present day prices, Alaskan newsprint could be €old at a profitable figure which would leave-the n ‘branch of the industry no margin -of This is one of the several conditions profit. which have encouraged the United States Forest | Service in its promotion program and made it possible for it to interest Pacific ( t capital in Alaskan timber areas and waterpowers. Exhaustion of the forests of the Atlantic sea- board would, of course, lead inevitably to east- ern capital, now interested there in paper manu- facturing, turning it§ attention to Alaska. Once its source of investment in the familiar regions of New England and Eastern Canada is exhaust- ed, naturally it will become interested in virgin fields, if there are any left. But it is a grave question whether Sontheastern Alaska will longer be a virgin field when that occuts. Long before that time, if Pacific Coast interests are as wise syihey are credited with being, Alaskan timber aud waterpower sites will be tied up with long germ leases at terms that will then seem so ad- wvantageous that some of the larger Eastern in- [ terests, foresighted though they clatm to be, will be astonished that they passed by such oppor- tunities. Timber for wood pulp in Canada and the United Sta o+ is not inexhaustible. Experts al- ready can estimate with a fair degree of ac- ., euracy how many years it will supply the de- "mands of an ever growing publishing busin . There are few spots anywhere that natnral growth will replace the stands so rap T with so little expense to private capita Government as in Al That is one of (he most highly attractive inducements to interests which have been sufficiently awake to investi- gate this field. Other opportunities being equal, it alone would justify investments in Alaskan newsprint manufacturing enterprises in prefer- “ence to fields having timber of similar quality, in proportionate quantity and¥so accessible to logging, with waterpower resources as conven- dently situated and capable of just as economi¢ development as in this part of Alaska. or th PUBLIC The investment in property employed by the "HOOLS' INVESTMENT. tupendous total of §1.2 000,000 in an an "% pouncement made by the United States Bureau " of Education.

(New York Times.) Before the era of debunking comes to its h ted ¢l place shall be made for Colonel Wilds P. Richardson’s article in the current; At on Alaska. Out of the wealth of his | exy . in the Territory, to whose develop- ment gave loyal service for twenty vy Colc Richardson makes a plea for less bom- 1 nd more understanding. “The American people have been led to believe that the purcha t busine gain,” he notc It is true that the origi purchase price was only $7,200,000 Congress wen often allow their imagination to play with that incident to the exclusion of 'the equally historic fact that the United States has in the inter expended some $200,000,000 on the Ter- ritory, with no commensurate return yet in in- dustry or population There are only about 30,- 000 white residents in the Territory today, and they have been dwindling Colonel Richardson trasts this “bargain’ with the Loui a Pur- | chase, whi cost 000,000, and tod supports 21,000,000 people, with an estimated wealth of more than $60,000.000,000. Colonel Richardson believes that Alaska h suffered directly from over-enthusiasm, whethe e or commercial propaganda. E: atements of its wealth and opportuni- born of ron aggerated ties led, among other things, to the launching| of the Government railroad, that Great White Elephant-of the North. To its exactions Governor Parks pays unconscious tribute when, in the course of his latest annual report, he remarks that “for the first time in the history of the pro- ject the deficiency for operation was less than $1,000,00 When the Territory did not grow as fast as they had expected, the enthusiasts blamed the conmservationists and the politiclans. They said that Gifford Pinchot and his friends were trying to “lock up” the resources of the Territory, and that the bureaucrats at Washing- ton had its progress tied in red tape. ‘‘Develop Alaska” became the popular slogan, which found a champion in Secretary Fall. In fact, President Harding himself, when he set out on his visit to the Territory in 1923, leaned toward accept- ance of that doctrine. He learned better. He saw with his own eyes that what was holding the Territory back was not so much either extreme consevation policies or Government neglect, but inexorable economic law: the exhaustion of the placer mines, world-wide shift in the value of the gold which was the Territory’s great mineral resource, high labor costs. Economists, too, have shown the difticulty of establishing a permanent ecivilization on the precious metals alone. Alaska suffers from what they would call an aggravated case of mar- ginal utility. Her oil will be exploited when other supplies are low; her wood pulp will be sold in larger volume when the forests more ac- cessible to the Atlantic seaboard are exhausted: her reindeer will come into the market in larger quantities when conditions allow of more profit- able competition. She will come into her own %ome day, but only with the march of natural economic law.

It speaks well (or the development of the Territory as a whole that its commerce is on the increase. Colonel Richardson advocates a larger measure of home-rule, and he thinks that there is still room for relaxation of various hampering re- strictions. But he is penetrating enough to see that the Territory’s material resources do not stand alone. ‘“Scenery is Alaska's one im- perishable asset,” he writes, and what man or woman who has traversed the inland passage or seen Mount McKinley rise like a sovereign out of the clouds will choose to disagree with him? 5. J Alaska Loses a Champion. (Seattle Times.) Alaska loses a champion and Seattle a most usetul citizen in the death of Falcon Joslin. Making his home in this city for many years, and serving -it at every opportunmity, Mr. Joslin ever had Alaska’s welfare uppermost in mind. He was recognized here, at the National Capital, and in the financial centers of the country, as the leading authority on Alaskan conditions and needs. Dependable in all his ubdertakings, gen- ial in all his contacts, Mr. Joslin will be greatly missed throughout the North and in the city of his home, X We have a suspicion that some time Russia is going to learn to its cost that yellow is not a racial characteristic of the Chinese.—(Phila- delphia Inquirer.)
