PRESIDENTIAL BACKING | Good news for Alaskans s Saturday’s announce- ment that President Truman has recommended an) | | appropriation of $2,273,500 for converting the Sitka | Naval Base into a 200-bed tuberculosis hospital and a | 600-pupil boarding school for natives. If Congress sees fit to follow the President’s recommendation it will mean a big step in the direction of the control of tuberculosis in Alaska. Also included would be a smaller hospital at Kodiak and another 600-pupil boaring school. | As we stated some time ago, the problem of controling tuberculosis among the natives is not a problem of hospital care alone, for if tuberculosis is to be wiped out, the causes, chief among these the pitiful economic plight of the native, must also be corrected. Proper education, giving the native the opportunity to raise his standard of living, as many have done, goes hand in hand with hospital care. For this reason the President’s recommendation for boarding schools as well as hospitals is well taken. At any rate it shows a genuine interest in Alaska on the part of President Truman which.is heartening to those interested in making Alaska a better place in which to live.
