Krug Secretary of Interior Julius A Krug has sent the following holi- day message to Alaskans: “The ememory of my altogether too brief visit to Alaska this summer is still most vivid in my mind. All of you in Alaska were most gen- cious with your hospitality. You were also generous in your discus- sion of critical problems in the solution of which you felt the De- partment has a distinct share. Therefore, upon my Treturn to Washington, each of the Bureaus of the Department was assigned certain of these problems with in- structions = for most expeditious handling. “Of course, many of the problems involved are of a long range na- ture and are complicated by year: of accumulation. Yet I can indi- cate to you that definite progress is being made toward solution, and that T am in the process of report- ing to the mayors of each of your cities the specific items which we have been able to resolve. 'The agencies of the Department are tackling the jobs on hand with en- ergy and enthusiasm. “As I review my visit to Alaska and reflect upon the many things I saw and heard, I am more con- vinced than ever of the wonderful opportunities for the development of the Territory in terms of the benefits to be derived by you in Alaska and by the people of the United States. I confess I had many misconceptions about the Territory which my visit dispelled completely. That is why I hope that the Department, in close col- laboration with Governor Gruening, Delegate Bartlett, your Territorfal agencies, your chambers of com- merce, and with you as individuals, can make it increasingly easier for people of the United States main- land to spend time in Alaska. The kreath-taking vistas of your moun- tains, forests and rivers, together with the very real evidence of your strides in agriculture, industry, and selft - development, must be seen by a greater number of our fellow citizens. This will greatly help in developing a better under- standing of the opportunities of the Territory as wel as .ome of the ob- stacles it faces. “Developrrent .5 hard. Wise de- velopment is harder.
