CAPITAL INTERESTSj
I
(By Bob Bartlett)
Assurances were received by Dele
gate Dimond that in the immediate
future Secretary Ickes will take the
action necessary to release and
make immediately available the
funds already allocated for public
work projects in Alaska.
The papers are now on his desk
for inspection and signature. Once
he has given them final approval
construction work to alleviate un
employment and provide much
needed projects can get underway
at once.
Alaskans who regret that funds
were not released immediately af
ter passage of the National Re
covery Act so that full advantage
could be taken of the short season
can count the Delegate among them.
But those who think that the
Territory has been unfairly dis
criminated against should remind
themselves of these facts:.
1. There have been several shifts
in organization of the Public Works
Administration. Only recently was
it finally decided that Secretary
Ickes should take complete charge.
Organization is not yet perfected.
This has naturally acted as a brake
on speedy distribution of funds.
2. It appears that Alaska will re
ceive its preliminary allocation of
funds just as soon as any other
political subdivision.
j 3. The above statement does not
I refer to money made available un
,der the federal highway aid plan,
j Congress determined the amount to
be spent in that manner and the
iPublic Works Administration is
without authority to lessen the ap
portionment to any state. Even so,
not all the states have received
funds to start road building under
this provision of the NIRA. Alaska
does not come within the pro
visions of the federal highway aid
'act and the fact that allocations
for roads were speedily made to
the states and Hawaii may have
created the incorrect impression
jthat Alaska was forgotten.
4. The Administration is moving
I with exceeding caution in approv
ing public works. After all, $3,000.
000,00 is not an inexhaustible sum.
Every effort is being made to au
thorize only worthy projects. That
takes time. Alaskans know the roads
they wish to see built, the air ports
they are anxious to see constructed,
the buildings they want to have
erected and other public works per
formed fall under the category of
meritorious projects. The Adminis
tration cannot be expected to have
the same immediate understand
ing. It first wants time to investi
gate so that there will be no waste
of public money.
5. The Administration has no in
tention of allocating the $3,000,000,
000 in a lump sum. It must save
some to inject into the commercial
veins of the nation in the coming
months. To change the figure, it
'would do little good to run the
motor at full speed for a brief
time and then have it quit for
lack of fuel.
In view of those facts, the ob
server will realize that Alaska has
not fared badly at all. There is ev
ery reason to expect more money
will be forthcoming in the future.
As he has ever since the NIRA be
came law, Delegate Dimond will en
deavor to demonstrate that great
deal more could be profitably used
now without any suggestion of “pork
barrel.’

Scandal?
Yes, my name’s been dished around.
The men I’ve known have all had
one idea. I never blamed them.
Why should they blame me? They
are going to take you away from
