PRESIDENT ASKED TO INCLUDE
ALASKA IN REHABILITA
TION PROGRAM
President Roosevelt has been re
quested to include Alaska in the
national program for relieving un
employment by arranging for hand
picked quotos of those embraced
within his plans to be assisted in
coming to Alaska and here be giv
en employment in return for their
monetary assistance in building
roads, trails and bridges where
these are not possible under pre
sent federal appropriations.
A cablegram setting forth this
suggestion was dispatched by The
Gateway to President Roosevelt
last night.
In addition to taking the matter
direct to the nation's leader, dis
patches were forwarded to the big
news associations of the States
containing an appeal by H. S.
Balderston, president of the Bank
of Seward', directed to men of big
means to join with President
Roosevelt in financing prospectors
and settlers to come to Alaska on
a purely business basis.
DOES NOT MEAN DUMPING
The plan does not mean the
dumping of penniless people into
Alaska, but comes within the gen
eral scheme of relieving unemploy
ment as outlined in the bill Pres
ident Roosevelt presented and se
cured the passage of in Congress,
permitting him to disburse funds
for federal improvement thruout
the nation to give immediate em
ployment and relief to those will
ing to work and deserving of gov
ernmental aid.
Everyone sent to Alaska would
be guaranteed sustenance until
the relief program measure, which
covers a year, is discontinued or
they could branch out on their
own. In the process the Territory
and especially the Railroad Zone,
would receive the benefit of a net
work of trails, bridges and roads
so vitally necessary to develop
the mines and provide feeders foi
the Alaska Railroad.
ADVANTAGES OF PLAN
An illustration of the advantage
is given in the Missing Link road
connecting the Chugach foiestij
road with the Moose Pass road,
and the building thru from Moose
Pass to lower Kenai Lake via
Quartz creek and the _ eventual
extension of the Kenai road to
Cook Inlet. Another illustration
presents itself between Anchoiage
age and Matanuska.
In the Geological Survey report
of 1931 it was pointed out_ that
there were large deposits of gold,
