Ernest Gruening of Alaska observed recent press conference in San Francisco that it is a mystifying and irrational policy wrich Congress pur- sues with respect to Alaska. The economies which are the purported object of that policy, he pointed out can be effected only with incalculable loss to the country economically and with incredible danger to the country militarily. Economy at the expense of Alaska’s economic and military development, as Governor Gruening gravely remarked, is a particularly false and vicious form of economy. Alaska is one of the last remaining great frontiers to which the American people may turn for their own enrichment in time of peace. And it will be our most vital frontier in the event of a war which would require the American people to defend them- selves against thé devastating weapons of an air age As a repository of natural wealth, Alaska is one of the great storehouses of the earth and its vast agricultural and mineral treasures are virtually un- touched, Still the niggardly policies of Congress pre- vent all but the most casual improvements of trans- portation and communication. in a indictment of our five-month assigni been studying the 40-hour week and scientists, 40 per are pret in a while.
