MUCH ASSISTANCE AND CO-OP
ERATION RESPONDS FROM
APPEAL; THIS REGION
Agitation for year around coast
guard protection in southwestern
Alaska is being impetuously stir
red by citizens of prominence in
the States who know of the appel
lant need, and by leaders in the
shipping industry in the North
west.
The movement is expected to
take greatly increased momentum
following the action of the Se
attle chamber of commerce, which
body after constructing an investi
gation, adopted and passed to their
representatives in Washington, D.
C., a resolution requesting the Fed
eral Government to station and
maintain a capable, high speed
Coast Guard vessel designed for
the best possible protection against
marine disasters, in the waters
designated. The committee mak
ing the investigation for the Se
attle C. of C. and recommending
the adoption of the resolution was
headed by A. V. Love.
Another arduous worker, tireless
; in his efforts to enlist the aid of
influential and natural individuals
in behalf of the the Territory has
jbeen F. J. “Babe” Hayes of Cor
jdova. Hayes’ endeavors have brot
•responses from congressmen, some
| of whom are members of the com
merce committees of the house and
| senate, who have acknowledged
•the need for adequate Coast Guard
service in these inhospitable water
areas, and promised their support
to such measures as will afford
the required protection. William
H. Miller, Vice Pres, of the Inter
national Metal Hose Co. of Cleve
land, who completed a successful
big game hunt in this section of
Alaska last season, after receiving
an appeal from Hayes addressed
graphically a detailed communica
tions to Senator Simeon D. Fess
and Congressman Theodore Bur
ton appearing in the Gateway col
umns today, which brot the fol
lowing :
“In regard to the lack of Coast
Guard Service in Alaskan waters,
I am satisfied your contention is
correct, but the Budget Bureau has I
been exceedingly economical in
recommending additional coast
guard service, and I am somewhat
handicapped by the fact that I |
am exerting every effort to have !
another coast guard located on
the Great Lakes near the Soo. j
However, I will give careful at
tention to your request.”
Sincerely,
Theodore E. Burton.
“Regarding the shipping situa
tion in Alaska, I have not gone
into the situation at all, but will
refer your letter to the Commerce
Committee which has charge of
these matters.”
Yours very truly,
Simeon D. Fess.
“Senator Fess has kindly called
my attention to your letter of Feb- j
•uary 14 with reference to the mat
ter of coast guard vessels in
Alaska.
“I am glad to have your letter
ind I am making a copy of it and
vill call it to the attention of the
2oast Guard people. I know that
;hey are interested in furnishing
idequate protection in Alaska. I 1
ippreciate the fact, however, that
t is a tremendously difficult task, j
)ecause of the great extent of wa- j
ers in the territory to be cov
‘red. I know that there is a cut- 1
er stationed in Alaskan waters
luring all of the summer, and
>robably longer, and I am sure
hat the department does the best
t can with the money that is
ppropriated for these purposes.”
Sincerely,
W. J. Jones, U. S. Senate, j
j Other communications bearing !
:On the matter, received by Hayes,
I say in part—“I have written our I
lawmakers about the terriblle con- '
ditions in the Northwest, in regard
to coast guard, I am sure that had
I been on the Starr when she was
in trouble, I would have been more !
emphatic to them.”
Yours,
Dr. Leo G. Dick,
Oakland, Iowa, j
“About a revenue cutter for
southwestern Alaska thruout the
year, I wrote to our United States i
senators from this state. One of j
them wrote back that he was glad !
to get some first hand information 1
and would support the measure.” j
Edgar Swan Wiers. Montclaire, j
N. J.
A communication addressed to!
the Seward Chamber of Commerce,
U. S. Coast Guard Commandant,
by Rear Admiral C. C. Bullard, j
contained the Admiral’s assurance j
that the situation in Alaska was
fully appreciated, but that no
cutters were available for duty j
along the Alaskan coast in the
winter time, other than the Cutter j
Unalga stationed at Juneau. j
