KA CIRCULATIO THAN THAT OF JUNEAU’S GU ANY O PLACE IN MILITARY PICTURE A further idea of eau in the eral scheme of Alaska development may be gleaned from the recent visit here of Col. Louis Johnson, Assistant Secretary of War, and his party on ion of possible Army developments in the north. The Colonel while over a probable Interior Army the vicinity of Fairbanks, and checki sibflities of the International H pointed out that the flight between Seattle and Fair- an inspect ted in looking perhaps in 2 on the gnificantly primarily intere air base pos- banks without an intermediate field for stopping enroute was too long, hinting that such an intermedi- ate field located on Mendenhall flats here might well fit into the picture. Wilh the extension of aerial plans by Pan Ameri- d Pacific Alas ays, Juneau gradually is be recognized as the key to commercial n the nortt he ultimate plans of Pan can for ’‘round-the-world travel is generally ved to be coastal. In other words, the major bably will be up the coast with Juneau as minus of lines running into the Interior. Thus k forward to a great deal of develop- o that connection. is indicaticn that it also can look n important part tary program, perhaps best expressed as the national defense program for not only the Army but the Navy as well is undertaking vast developments in the north which will have a very direct bearing on Juneau Whether we will see an auxiliary Army air base established remains to be seen. But there is every reason to helieve that Juneau, the center of air and water transportation in Alaska, will figure prom- inently in the future program of the armed forces of the United State: And now there forward to becomin, in the mili- here THERE’S MILLIONS IN TOURIS ‘Without officials who all visited Alaska this summer, the and there including such men Reynolds, Dr. Farley, have grasped the greaf op- portunity that iies in Alaska for the development of the tourist industry. They see here in the north every natural advantage to make the Territory one of the greatest meccas for travelers to be found any- where in the world, ¥, tely for Alaska, the visiting officials in position to do so are not only sold on the idea but are attempting to further this growing business in every way that they can. The Roosevelt adminis- tration throughout has a sympathetic ear attuned to the Territory’s problems and not in its history has Alaska been given such support as it is now getting | from government sources toward pushing not alone have have been a as Secretary and Post- exception, number, Senator master General goodly Ickes, Gruening the tourist business but all other development plan: forward. As Secretary Ickes, Senator Reynolds and others high in government affairs have pointed out, the American tourist business runs into millions of dollars annually. But they also find that a very small part of it ccmes north in comparison with the vast amount of travel there is to other parts of the world. Last year the number of travelers to the Territory was around 30,000, That number included the regular travel to Alaska by Alaskans and those who come north on business rather than pleasure. It is prob- ably to say that not more than 20,000 of that total could actually be classed as tourists, if that many It's a small figure when one thinks of the hundreds of thousands of money-spending tourists who were traveling around the world on pleasure bent. It that Alaska hasn’t started to get its normal share of the tourist business, and as the pointed out there are two major safe is obvious officials also have reasons—Ilack of transpo ion and lack of facilities for accommodating the travelers. We need extension of the present transportation a general speeding up, and miles and miles of roads. We need throughout the Territory, especi- ally in the more favorable recreation areas, hotels with accommodations which the great traveling pub- facilities lic demands. Effort is being directed to bring these additional facilities into the north. In the meantime, we in Alaska need to awaken ourselves to the opportunity we have here to develop a great modern business in tourists. We need to get away from the idea that a few boat loads of tourists in the summer time is the sum of the tourist business to Alaska Actually, it is only the beginning of a business which will bring millions of dollars to the Territory if v ur efforts toward that end and take ad- e sympathetic attitude which now eman- rton to help us. nother ['ndr(“urml War?

Yet thousands of troops, h tanks and airplanes, already are engaged in fes sund Changkufeng, where the borders AI Korea, Manchoukuo and Siberia meet—at a point which varies according to the map you consult. Doubtless the affair began with a Japanese at- tempt to test out Russian policy. If so, Tokyo should have ned promptly that Moscow leaders are no longer in the conciliatory mood of a year ago. But in the testing, troops were used, a battle was fought And Japanese commanders in the field have very much wid atitude than in most armies. They may be precipitating a war, despite the unwillingness of Tokyo officials, in the belief that control of Chang- kufeng is essential to Japanese safety. The area *in controversy is important strategi- cally, for the Russians believe it is absolutely necessary to the defense of Vladivostok. By the same token its p sion would be strategic advantage for wpan, whose first move in any war with Russia ould be against Vladivostok. Foolishly, each power has let its prestige become dependent on control of this area. The absurd efforts to save face, rather than the real strategic value of the hill, may finally precipitate a major war. If it should come to that, and still not involve Europe, most observers will agree that the odds favor the Soviet Union. This is the more true because China is capable of great military efforts still, and will seize the opportunity for a stronger campaign if the Soviet Union is drawn into war against the com- mon enemy. Such a probabfity makes it the more difficult to believe that Japanese leaders will allow a frontier incident to become a full-sized war.
