tain, with ease a population of
from ten to twenty million peo
ple.
Despite pessimists, birth control
and wars, the world is steadily
increasing at about the rate of
20,000,000 people a year. Some of
this increase comes from Asia,
some from Europe and the Am
ericas. In years to come new
areas will have to be opened up
for human habitation. Can we
ever fill the vast Arctic regions
with human beings who for cen
turies have been accustomed to
live in the tropics, semi-tropics
or temperate regions? We can.
if food is available and the clim
ate is healthful.
Civilization has gradually mov
ed northward to occupy the cool
er areas of the globe. Stefansson
emphasizes this tr:nd in his book
“Northward the Course of Em
pire.”
The Himate of the Arctic is
healthful. The tropics w>th its
intense nea, debilitat.es. Ciimate
will ever be a barrier to the oc
cupation 01 me tropics by the
wn.-o race. It ..•> therefore com
pelled to move northward. The
Arctic with its varying degrees
ocf cold invigorates.
We have a tropical medicine.
The tropical man suffers not on
ly from the heat, but from infec
tions and infestations peculiar to
the tropics. We have no Arctic
medicine. There is not one dis
ease that occurs in natives or
whites living in the Arctic caus
ed by climate, food or special in
fecting organisms or infestating
parasites.
Ainimal foods are found in
great abundance in the waters
of the Arctic and on land. Great
herds of reindeer and caribou
can be developed and even fhe
chicken and the cow can exist in
the north if the proper heat is
maintained and the proper food
furnished. Fish of all kinds are
found in rivers, lakes and seas.
Vegetable foods can be grown
under artificial conditions even
** fw north as Point Barrow.
Every white man’s home in the
Arctic should have its glass-cov
ered garden, and the natives
should be continually encourag
ed to supplement their flesh
foods with home-grown veget
ables. Besides, fruits and veget
ables can be transported by sea
during the open water season.
With the coming advances in air,
sea and land transportations the
problem of bringing vast quanti
ties of food into the Arctic will
present very slight difficulties.
While the northern parts oi
Alaska may be made to furnish
animal foods, the southern por
tions may be trained to cultivate
plant foods. Thus one part of
Alaska would supply the wants
of the other. In this way the
more northern areas, at present
with a paucity of white people,
could maintain a very large pop
ulation. The Matamuska coloni
zation project is no mere child
of the depression. It is but a
part of a large experiment to
develop the agricultural poten
tialities of southern Alaska as a
feeding ground for the more
northerly portions.
The white man and tne Eskimo
living in the Arctic is heir to the
same ills and dies of the same
diseases as people living in the
States. The death raite in gen
eral, however, and for certain
diseases in particular is very
much higher for the Eskimo than
it is for the white man in the
Arctic. The average span of life
of the white man in the Arctic
is 58.5 years. The average span
of life of the Eskimo is 24 to 25
years. This short span was the
one for the white man four hun
dred years ago.
A study of the health problems
of the Eskimo indicates that the
diseases to which he succumbs
results largely from lowered re
sistance induced by imbalanced
nutrition, lack of sanitation and
personal hygiene, and lack of
immunity to those infections for
which m dical scientists have al
ready discovered a means ol pre
vention. The much larger mor
bidity and mortality rate can be
very materially reduced by pro
per sanitation and hygiene, pro
per diet and the immunization
against preventable diseases.
We must improve the health of
the Eskimo because we recognize
the fact that the continuing death
of a people while life is within
reach is the most exquisite of
human cruelty, and because we
recognize the fact that the per
sistent sickness and suffering of
1 any people, when the sickness
: and the suffering are prevent
i able, are affronts to our intelli
gence and to our conscience.
Lack of government funds is a
flimsy excuse. The American
people have never been too poor
to extend a helping hand to un
| fortunate*.
From a more practical stand1
point, however, and from a stand
point of self-preservation, we
must make every conceivable ef
fort to improve the health of the
Eskimos lest we who live prac
tically in their midst be burnt
by the same conflagrations that
may rage among them.
The vast expanse of the Arctic
can and will in the future be oc
cupied by millions of white peo
! pie living in health, in comfort,
in happiness, and in prosperity.
And the first step in this occupa
« tion must be the improving of
. the health of the Eskimo, the na
[ tive people of the land.

Missing Man Is
Not Found By
The Northland
Captain F. A. Zeusler, com
manding officer o f the U.S.C.G
cutter Northland, reports an un
eventful cruise in the Norton
Bay area.
Rough seas and bad weather
foiced the Northland to leave
her anchorage in the roadstead
at Nome, and run for shelter.
She cruised to Stewart Island,
near St. Michael, and took ocean
ographic soundings and tests.
The vessel then sailed to Golo
vin to water ship. Other villa
ges at which medical work was
done were Unalakleet. Egavik,
Shaktoolik a-nd Elim.
Th’ vessel cruised the entire
eastern part of Norton Sound,
searching for Frank IvanofT, who
has been lost for wer a week.
He left Shaktoolik last Saturday
evening, in a 25-foot open motor
boat, with a load of fresh veget
ables to be tak n to Bonanza.
Nothing has been heard from
him since. The natives believe
that he has drifted astiore in
some of the many inlets in Nor
ton Bay, but the Northland fail
ed to discover any traces of him.
' The vessel left Nome Friday
afternoon for a patrol trip to the
Northern Bering Sea villages,
and will return sometime next
Ifxiday. according to present
/plans and schedule.

Proclamation Issued Re
cently in Juneau
For the first time in its history,
Alaska will have a holiday on
September 17. officially designat
ed as Constitution Day, which is

I hereby designate September
17th, 1938 as a holiday to be ob
served thruout Alaska as the one
hundred fifty-first anniversary of
