Dr. Victor Levine
Returns States
Pt. Barrow
Dr. Victor E. Levine is in the
service of the U. S. Public Health
Service with the rank of consult
ant. He has made many trips to
the Arctic to continue his medi
cal and biological studies of the
Eskimos. He recently returned
to Nome, together with his assist
ant, Delbert C. Foord, on the Cut
ter Northland, after spending a
whole year in Barrow.
The following interview was
obtained for the Nome Nugget
from Dr. Levine:
In recent years the Arctic re
gions have assumed colossal im
portance in the affairs of the
world. Tile United States, Rus
sia, Denmark and the Dominion
of Canada are today looking nor
thward with eager eyes. Alas-1
ka, once held up in Washington
to ridicule as “Sward’s Ice
Box’’ and "Seward’s Folly", and
treated as a step-child, is begin
ning to be respected and handled
with the tenderness and consider
ation that fond parents usually
bestow upon their own child.
The reasons for this resurgence
of interest in the Arctic are
many.
The Aret.c offers the shortest
route between three continents,
Asia, Europe and North America.
Attempts are being made at pre
sent to establish safe air travel
by way of the Far North. From
a military standpoint, the Arctic i
facilitates contacts between Ja
pan, Russia, United States and
England.
The Arctic possesses untapped,
wealth in the form of fish, coal,
petroleum and many valuable,
and industrially indispensible
metals.
Furs of all kinds to keep warm
in winter originate for the giost
part in the Arctic, and cod-liver’
oil, calculated to build up the
, body in times of physiological
| stress and strain is a product of
I Arctic waters.
i The Arotic is the earth’s attic
I
! in which the weather is brewed
i and concocted. A knowledge of
weather conditions in the Arctic
j is at times necessary in prognos
j ticating weather in other parts of
' the world. The a net i c may be j
I the key to the riddle whether we
will have weather or not.
Fully one-sixth, if not more, of
the world’s land surface lias in I
the Arctic regions.
The Arctx is a vast natural
labratory in which to study the|
interrelation of climate, food and;
health. An intense study of this
interrelation should be highly
valuable to future generations.
We have a vast amount of land
in Greenland, in Arctic America
and in Arctic Asia very sparcely
settled.
Alaska alone has an area of1
about 590,000 square miles, but
only about 62,000 inhabitants, ac
cording to the Latest estimate, j
Half of these are whites who live
largely in the southern and
warmer points. Alaska can main
