GENERAL RICHARDSON IN
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
In the Army and Navy Register of
July 14, there appears the following
article hearing the caption; “Facts
About Alaska”
(The following communication, ad
dressed to the editor of The New
York Times, appeared in that news
paper on July 9. It has to do with
c criticism of an article published in
The Atlantic Monthly descriptive of
the situation in Alaska, with some
observations of future possibilities
and necessities, contributed by Gen
'"ilds P. Richardson'* V- 5. A. That
valuable comment from an author1 fy
was the subject of an editorial .n

sequel.)
In the issue of The New York
Times of January 8, 1928, appeared
an editorial entitled “The Truth
About Alaska.” The two opening
sentences of the editorial were these:
“Before the era of debunking
comes to its heralded close place
shall be made for Gen. Wilds P
Richardson’s article in the current
Atlantic on Alaska. Out of the wealth
of his experience in the territory, to
whose development he gave loyal
service for 20 year^, Gen. Richardson
makes a plea for less bombast and
more understanding.”
In the appendix to the Congres
sional Record of Saturday, May AJ
appears a copy of an article from
The Seward Gateway, of Seward, Al
aska written bv John E. Ballaine
and incorporated in the appendix oy
Senator C. C. Dill, of Washington.
This- article purports to be a “reci
tation of damaging misrepresenta
tions by Gen. Richardson in The At
lantic Monthly—proof that The At
lantic Monthly engaged, in a conspi
racy of willful and unpatriotic mis
chief.”
The charge of conspiracy between
Gen. Richardson and the editor o:
The Atlantic Monthly to engage “in
a conspiracy of willful and unpatri
otic mischief,” of course, is or ought
to be a self-evident absurdity to any
thoughtful mind. It is within my per
sonal knowledge, ho’wever, that Gen.
Richardson, whom I have known fo1'
many years, never met thte editor of
The Atlantic Monthly, and that he
wrote and sent his article for ac
ceptance or rejection upon its merit
or lack of merit, as all other articles
are sent by well regulated writers
to the editors of well regulated maga
zines.
For many years'! have »
what interested in the subject of
Alaska’s development. I studied the
hearings on the railroad bill before
the committee on territories and read
The Atlantic article by Gen. Richard
son. There is nothing that I can
find in the comments of John E.
Ballaine as reproduced by the Con
gressional Record from The Seward
Gateway to entitle them to be con
sidered as in any degree “refutations”
of the opinions set forth in Gen. Rich
ardson’s article in The Atlantic. In
truth, that article did not discuss
] Alaska’s resources except to stab?
that 4they are ample and varied. Its
sole* purpose was intended to be
constructive, and to point out why
Alaska had not gone forward and to
suggest ways and means which
might bring the territory into the
path of progress.
The publicity given to the article
cnticizing Gen. Richardson’s analysis
of the Alaska situation through its
insertion in the Congressional Re
cord makes it seem proper to me
that these few words should be said
to make the real situation plain.
It appears to be the policy of cer
tain persons and interests in the
northwest virtually to force the
