Common Goals “With agreement upon so many | fundamentals, we should be able o cooperate toward our common goals. Such cooperation requires not only an accurate appreciation by this Department of the feelings of groups of Alaskans, to which your brief makes a definite contribution, b equally an accurate appreciation organizations like yours of the true character of the proposals outlined | in the Departmental report. So that all of us may approach the situa-| tion with the same understanding, I| wish to point out what seems to be misconceptions in the brief: “(1) 'The brief suggests that Gov- ernment financing of settler templated by the Department. may have overlooked the following statements in the Department Re- | THE BIG PICTURES!

The Department has ex- | pressed special interest in those re-! | fugees who, because of their par- | ticular training and abilities, may be |able to contribute to the develop- :ment of Alaskan economy. M&ny of these people, through their own re- | sources or those of friends and rela- | tives, could bring to Alaska the funds, machinery and other forms of capital now needed there. “It is hoped that the above ex-| planation may serve to clarify cer-| tain misunderstandings about the| Departmental Report, which are al-“ most bound to arise at the beginning of any new venture or conception.

It is only through | a frank exchange of views that the| | best plan can be worked out for de- veloping the Territory. “We are impressed with your mot- to: ‘What Helps Alaska Helps You.' That expresses in concise from the | attitude of the Department toward | this vast problem. We, too, believe | that the crux of Alaskan develop- ment rests on a business expansion solidly based on individual initiative implemented through the tried ma- chinery of corporate organization. “Your further comments on the report will be appreciated.” Chamber Reply ‘The Chamber reply, taking up and BORN 18%0... still going strong Scotch and JOHNNIE WALKER its smooth, mellow best!

Whatever justifica- tion there may be for the present quota laws with respect to the set- tled areas of the United States, ap- plication of the same yardstick to an under-populated territory whose fu- ture well-being depends on new im- migration and new capital is ex- tremely questionable from the standpoint of national policy.” We took it to mean that a different quota system was to be recommend- ed for Alaska; that is, that larger quotas were to be admitted than were allowed in the States. We ap- parently misinterpreted this lan- guage and did not understand that it meant raising the standards under which immigrants might qualify.” HUNTERS RETURN FROM 600D HUNT Al Weathers returned to Juneau| early this morning from Gambier Bay with his boat Deutz and five| Juneau |hunters, neporting good/ deer and geese hunting. \ Those who made the trip were Rod Darnell, Harry Sams, Dallas Weyand, Fritz Carrothers and El- mer Freeburg.
