A PROBLEM FOR STATESMEN
Federal reports indicate that in 1928 33,345
people d( parted from Alaska and 32,508 arrived.
I ho net loss of population is 739.
This has been the record—nothing but losses
—since 19H).
The national administration with all their
appointees in Alaska have never given tills prob
lem any consideration, and yet they refuse to let
Alaskans tackle the problem.
Isn’t it time that our President and Congress
h‘t the People of Alaska try their hand at it? Cer
tainly we could do no worse.
