IMPORTANT VISITORS
TO FAIRBANKS
(Fairbanks News-Miner Aug.19)
Heading for Fairbanks from
Name is U. S. Senator Robert
Rice Reynolds of North Carolina
—and from Seattle Assistant Sec
retary of War Louis Johnson and
Assistant Secretary of Commerce
J. Monroe Johnson.
All announce they are making
a survey of Alaskan conditions—
and all have much to do in their
respective ■ positions which bears
directly on Alaskan affairs.
Senator Reynolds is a member
of the senate committees on terri
torial and insular affairs and mili
tary affairs.
The two assistant secretaries
are flying over the proposed Al
aska International Highway pro
posed route, will visit the exist
ing and proposed naval and mili
tary defense bases and other cen
ters of the territory—and get a
general idea as to the needs of
the territory as to comimtunica
tions and other services,
Whether on specific missions or
coming just to get better ac
quainted, these visitors are in a
position to do a lot to promote
the interests and general progres
sive program for Alaska. They
will return to Washington with
first hand knowledge of condi
tions and needs of the Territory
and will be able to speak with
authority before others in high
I
executive, Legislative and admin
istrative stations.
Fairbanks, as the site of the
proposed U. S. army air base, the
major Alaskan commercial air
port of Alaska, location of the
important Chena flood control
project, and railway and high
way transportation and strategic
center of Alaska has much with
which these influential visitors
will want to acquaint themselves.
Assisting them in these matters
is a part th_at Fairbanks now can
play with distinct advantage to
herself. The rest is obvious. Give
them a hand and help them to
see and learn all that’s worth
while.
Editor’s Note—Before leaving
Nome Senator Reynolds made
the statement to the editor of the
Nome Nugget, that Nome should
and must have a defense base as
well as otheT strategic centers.—
This is food for thought by our
commercial organizations and the
time to compile evidence and de
tails is now and have it ready
to send to Washington when the
Congress opens next December..

lates your political ads in the
