PREDICTS BUSY YEAR
After spending the past month
in Anchorage, Cecil M. Wells, of
Wells’ Alaska Motors, Fairbanks,
is confident that all Alaska faces
unprecedented good times. Mr.!
We'les, has been in close contact
with contractors, government!
agents, business representatives'
of every line, and the general
trend of everything indicates
that the Defense Program hasn’t
even begun to get under way.
The work already accomplished
toward fortifying the Territory is
a mere starter.
Mr. Wells says that the view
in Anchorage is that the Army
will have more transports in the
A1 a ska service, releasing more
cargo space for civilian! needs
and that the present snarls in the
transportation system will be
ironed out in the near future. |
Mr. Wells further says that;
this season’s mining operations'
will be about normal. Most of
the mines have adequate sup
plies for this year, and the men
who have left the creeks will be
replaced by older men who know
the work, even if they are less
able to turn out an energetic
day’s work as they once did.
GOV. CONGRATULATES
NEW "JESSEN’S WEEKLY"
Governor of Alaska Ernest
Gruening sent the following con
gratulatory message to Mr. E.
F. Jessen, of Fairbanks, publish
er of Jessen's Weekly:
"My heartiest congratu'ations'
upon the appearance of Jessen's
Weekly.
No event in a democracy is
more important than the birth of
a newspaper, provided that news
paper lives up to the opportun
ities, obligations and duties
which a free people have a right
to expect from their newspapers. |
Those opportunities, obligations
and duties include a frank and
fearless printing of all legitimate
news, fair treatment to all, sub
servience to none. There is a j
great opportunity for independ
ent journalism and 1 sincerely
hope Jessen’s Weekly will fill a
long-felt want in your commun.
ity. If it performs its task ably,
and courageously, it will live
and prosper.
Now that we are engaged in,
an all-out struggle for freedom
it is no less important to keep
the torch burning at home."
JAPS HAVE NO
COTTON, WOOL, GAS
LOS ANGELES — A Swiss';
busiess man who left Tokyo short!
ly before the outbreak of the'
war. Theodore Rau, said that the
Japanese people are undergoing
great privations to finance their!
military machine. He warned
that Japan is strong and should
not be underestimated.
Rau said thaat almost all com
modities are being rationed, j
There is no gasoline, pure wool i
or cotton available for general
use in Japan and leather is ex_
tremely expensive.
Said Rau: “From a Japanese
standpoint, the standard of liv
ing is not bad. From an Ameri-i
can'or European standpoint, it is!
almost impossible.”
The Swiss business man said
that the Japanese claim to have
ample reserves of gas and oil fur
their military machine although
practically none is available for)
civilian use. j
