-(jiP companies; ^iat an>r such
~...tra costs are purely the result
f the war and should no more be
^arged aga'nst ih? people of
A|0ska than the cost of installing
t ne military and naval posts and
gjid bases in Alaska; that any
” ach increase in rates as 45 per
<e0t was simply insupportable
would inevitab y lead to a
p^easureable depopulation of the
-Territory, to a spiraling increase
n all prices and living costs of
Territory and in the eud
fsrould defeat its own purpose by
■e&son of the reduction in the
territory’s population.
A statement prepared by Mr.
faxnes C. Rettie of the National
Resources Planning Board was
ead in evidence. Mr. Rettie ful
y agreed with the conclusions of
lie others that any deficit in the
teamships to Alaska should be
net by the Federal Government
ad should not be imposed upon
b.e Terrilory. As an alternative,
re all suggested that if necessary
he Maritime Commission or
on.e other agency of rue Gov
rnment should take over and
perate all the steamships serv
ig Alaska for the duration of
le war, charging against the
sers of the service only normal
ad usual rates and providing
le remainder by Federal ap
ropos tion,
"When all witnesses had been
iard, the examiner declared the
iarings closed. Testimony will
i submitted to the Commission
r its decision.
