Before certain agencies of the Federal Government will extend their help, these agencies want to see proof that the people of Alaska want the help—IN WRITING. Fiealth officials have been trying to get letters through questionnaires and through bulletins. They are getting some answers but need many more, at once Some hard-headed citizens have been trying to buck the project by labeling it with politics. Well, if politics enters into the picture, this is the right kind of politics. We don't care either where these hospitals are built—in what cities. The question of location is beside the point. The health authorities, who know much more about these things than any of us, will see that the hospitals are built where they will do the most good. This question is of vital importance to the future of Alaska. We urge the development of Alaska. We urge that more people come to Alaska and help Alaska progress and become prosperous, come into its own. But few serious thinking prospective Alaskans are aoing to take their children into a land where there are several thousand chances among 70 or 80,000 that a member of the family will get TB, and then this infected person, because there are no facilities for treatment, must wait for death.
