Bui Johnson said it was very discourag- ing to try and do something with- cut public cooperation. Davis Guest Epeaker James F. Davis, Director of the Livision of Territories and Insular Possessions in the Department of the Interior, was principal speaker today. He said that Alaska, at pres- ent, compares with Los Angeles in 1903. It is on the threshold of a great development, he declared. He pointed out that Alaskans now have the opportunity to build a permanent ccmmunity and economy. Davis was optimistic on proposed pulp development in SE Alaska. He said that an announcement can be expected, scon on this situation. He declared that this would mean the development of power, transporta- tion, business and people in the Ter- ritory. “There has been no idea of Ter- ritorial unity or community civic| spirit in the past in Alaska,” he stated, “but, the time has now come to Luild, such spirit and unity.” He pointed out that many persons are coming to Alaska now who are im-| portant to its future because they have the money and the influence on other persons to retard or ad- vance its welfare. Davis also reminded the Chamter that the next two or three months are critical for getting Federal ap- propriations to benefit Alaska. He said that requests must be received by October in order to be considered | for the 1949-50 fiscal year.
