TEN CENTS JAPANESE SPY SUSPECTS IN CUSTODY NEW ATTACK ON DEVALUATION PLAN ADMINISTRATION VERY FRIENDLY TOWARD ALASKA SAYS GOVERNOR Finds OfficKWashinglon‘ Interested in Alas- ka and Anxious to Aid ALASKA SHARES FAIRLY, RELIEF | ACTIVITIES Extension of Emergency Program Depends Upon Congress’s Action “The attitude of official Wash- ington, from President Roosevelt! down, towapd Alaska is dLstinctly} friendly,” said Gov. John W. Troy, | w er an absence of two and one- half months, most of which was\ spent in the National capital con- ferring with Interior D=par|.m~n'\ officials and others regarding Alas- kan matters. “Secretary Ickes is particularly | interested in Alaska, because the Territory is his own particular cern. He and others want to gwe‘ us every reasonable aid -in meeting emergency conditions and in pro- moting Alaska development on a permanent plane,” the Gavemcr added. Territory Shares Fairly To date, he pointed out, the Ter- | ritory has shared fairly and equal- | 1y in all emergency relief activities such as the Federal Emergency Re- lief Administration, Public Works Administration, Civil Works others. Every effort has been made, and, the Governor feels, with a large measure of success, to pro-, vide work for every person needing it these; upon Future assistance from sources depends, of course, their extension by Congress. “I be- lieve that Alaska will continue to fare well and receive every reason-| able aid if more appropriations for Public or Civil Works activities are made by Congress,” Goy. Troy said. | Home Loan Plan Drafted A Home Loan program for the Territory had been drafted and, tentatively approved when he left, Washington last month, and it/ was expected then that negessary, arrangements to put it into effect | could shortly bs perfected. Delegate Dimond, who has taken the keen-| est interest in this since the in- troduction of the bill in Congress last Spring and who obtained an amendment to it to cover the Ter- ritory, is pressing for action. It was due to his insistence that the plan for the Territory was worked | out, the Governor said. The system proposed is believed to be workable and practical. It calls for local representatives of the Board in every community of -any size. President Outstanding Figure Commenting on the natlonal sit- nation, Mr. Troy said: “President Roosevelt is the great driving force of his Administration. He is in coiiplete command of the situa- tion. His popularity is greater to- day than it was when he was elected by such a great majority, when he took office on March 4,/ Jast year. And it is increasing rath- er than lessening. “He is furnishing a leadership that Congress is wholly willing to follow. The general impression in Congress and outside of i, hers and abroad is that he is the out- standing figure of the entire world. His grasp of government finances, of social, business and economic préblems, above all his desp con- sideration for the human factor in industrial, business and govern- ment life, is stronger, finer and decper than any man ever oC pying the Presidency. He has dem- onstrated convincingly that he is his own ‘brain trust'” 5 Hi Business The President's effort to human- ize business, added the Governor, is succeeding remarkably well.
