A SAFE JOURNEY AT AN EVEN FACE.
The common sense and thorough knowledge back
of every statement that is made public by Secretary
Roper, of the Department of Commerce, gives it
weight throughout the country. Because so many
Alaskans met Secretary Roper when he visited the
Territory last summer, they are interested iij what
he has to say, whether it is an interview on national
recovery in general or a radio talk about Alaska.
Now, Secretary Roper sees a gradual improve
ment in trade and industry and believes that most
people feel it would be better for business to move
ahead that way “than for it to take a sudden spurt
which might lead to a reverse.”
Considering the spurts and reverses that people
have witnessed in the past, his view is well founded.
