I refer to Alaska, The vita! location of (t vast section from the stand- point cof our tional d. i beir Y d. The develop- mer i 1 has increased the jmportance of that Territory incal- culab) At me day of doom in the near future it may prove to be the vital key to our natioral se- curit ndispensable that aviation 1ld stride ab 1 in Alaska even mere rapidly than it advances in the States. Fortunately the great development, of the 1030's did no I by Alaska. In terms of pas- and mail traffic, aviati yere leaped forward. In 18 re only 2¢ planes op- € e end of the 1830's th number had increased more than 700 percent, with a resulting jump in plane-miles flown from 338, 000 miles to more than 3,200,000 Passenger - miles flown increased from 684,000 to more than 5,200,000 and a great development in fr {FaiTic, which doubtless will be of vastly increasing significance in the future, is demonstrated by the jump from 103.000 pounds of freight car- ried in 1830 to more than 4,100,000 pounds of freight carried in 1939 Great, toe, was the increase in the amount of mail transported. In 1930 just over 17,000 pounds of mail were tlcwn in the Territory, but in 1939 the amount had increased to near- ly 550,000 pounds.” - JOHN HELLENTHAL HERE John S.
