PULP MILLS IN ALASKA
-x
It is getting along to the time
v/hen the political • highbinders
will be promising Alaskans pulp
mills. Listen to this: From Cana -
da alone, 1, 465,456 tons of
newsprint are imported by the
U. S. paper users; 130,787 from
Newfoundland; 55,795 from
Sweden; 4,569 from Finland and
18,093 from Norway. Several
pulp mills have been established
in Washington and Oregon dur -
ing the several years when Alas -
kans were promised pulp mihs
at Juneau and Ketchikan.
And still the political dema
gogues promise pulp mills to
Alaska. When one repeats a he
too often, the speaker begins tc
believe his lie as the truth—but
ethers don’t fall for the bunk.
Fifty years hence, perhaps ,if
the government gives away ah
the timber and land rights, the
pulp men will come to Alaska.
