I WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 15.;
'(ByW.A.S.)—The people generally
from all sections of Alaska have
been entirely satisfied with the op- j
eration of the Washington-Alaska
Military Cable and Telegraph Sys
tem. The service rendered and the ^
tariff charged have been acceptable
and the suggestion that the gov
ernment authorize the sale of this
system of communication has met
with a protest from practically ev
ery section of the Territory as well
as from the Pacific Coast States.
In the last Congress a bill was sub
mitted by the War Department to
! authorize the Secretary of War “to
! sell in parcels or as a whole” the
! Alaska communication system. The

I bill was referred to the committee
• but no action taken, and the re
| port that a similar bill was to be
: introduced in the present Congress
. again caused consternation thruout
; the Territory. Delegate Wicker
sham made a special plea to Sccre- j
j tary Hurley to not again introduce
{this bill, and set forth the various,
| reasons why the government should j
j not dispose of the system,
j A very gratifying reply has just1
been received from Douglas Mac- 1
Arthur, General Chief of Staff, at:
the request of Secretary Hurley, i
who enclosed various correspond- j
ence with the President, and ended!
with the significant and very pleas- !
ing paragraph: "As you will .see j
letter of December 3, 1931, the War i
Department is in general agree-j
ment. with your point of view. In j
the absence of further instructions,
the Department does not intend to
reintroduce the legislation in ques
tion.”
In addressing President Hoover
on the important subject. Secretary
Hurley, among other things, said:
"I am enclosing a letter from the
Alaska Delegate dated November 2,
1931. wherein he urges on the part
I of the people of Alaska that no i
| legislation be initiated authorizing j
| the sale of the Alaska communica- :
; tions system. As expressed in my !
| letter of December 3, 1939, the War j
; Department, per se, had no objec- !
i tion to this sale; however, it is un- j
derstood that the committee which j
| originated the recommendation for j
j sale did not at any time obtain a j
j pertinent expression from the peo- i
pie or government of Alaska. This •
being the case, it would appear that
the enclosed letter of the Delegate
might well be taken Into considera
tion before resubmitting legislation
to Congress.”
The President undoubtedly took
into consideration the letter of the ;
Delegate with the result that the I
sale of the system will not be au
thorized, and the people of Alaska
will ever hold in grateful remem
brance the kindly consideration of
their interests by President Hoover
and Secretary Hurley.

It has been suggested to the De

be an act of economy for the gov

McCarthy, Chitina, Kodiak, Unga, I

are now being rented. But the De
partment has not been impressed
with the idea.
