Whereupon, he called on E. L.
iBob Bartlett, candidate for dele
gate of Alaska, being a guest o
the chamber, for a few remark, .
Mr. Bartlett, in replying, called
attention to the secretary’s mi',
utes just read. That part which re
ferred to the resolution of the
National Chamber in regards to
post-war rehabilitation. He stat
ed that this subject of such im
portance, especially for Alas! ;
and particularly for Nome and
Northwestern Alaska, that if
should not be passed on lightly.
That the incoming officers and
board of the Chamber of Com
merce should lead in formulating
a post-war program to assemble
the necessary data to be ready to
be presented to the proper ae j
thorities as soon as it becomes
necessary to formulate a program
for the Territory and the Second
Division. This post-war program
has been, and is, now in the fore-,
most attention of the nation as j
well as other cities in Alaska, i
We all realize that this program I
will be necessary for the caring ;
of the unemployment problem,
which will undoubtdly become
problem No. 1 in the near future.
In the past Nome’s requests
have been modest as Nome has j
received the least amount of help
than any other city in Alaska.
There are people who have ad
verse opinions as to planning but
at least engineering studies should
ae undertaken, not only to devel
op new projects but to co-ordinate
and continue the use of all thesi
new roads and airfields that have
been constructed for war purpos
es. Another danger, Mr. Bartletf
called to attention, was that an
attempt to prevent an influx of
too many coming to Alaska, a;
our economy cannot assimilate
them We must lay the ground
work and preparations to be able
to successfully cope with the sit
uation. He recommended the
all organizations, fraternal or
otherwise, should take part in this
movement for better developing
the required needs in a more nor
mal manner. Mr. Bartlett, in
conclusion, paid a compliment to
the people of Nome and promised
to assist in every way possible
bring about the necessary evolu
tion of our economic and indus
trial development.
Secretary Polet reported that
army officers have accosted him
for data in possession of the
Chamber for whatever program
the Chamber has for the develop
ment of projects in the near fu
ture.
D rector Whaley made a motion
that a vote of thanks be extended
to Secretary Polet for his long
period of service and painstaking
effort in behalf of our section. On
the motion being put, it was car
ried unanimously.
The meeting was then adjourn
ed subject to the call of the pres
iden.
