Development Board Head Impressed with Canadian Progress
Don Goodman, President of the Alaska Development Board, in Juneau on his way to Anchorage after attending the Pacific Northwest Trade Association meeting at Missoula, declared himself impressed with the industrial progress of British Columbia.
"The Canadians are not asking anything from their national government, yet they are offering inducements to private capital that are resulting in spending tremendous amounts of private investment money in the Canadian provinces," Goodman said.
About the Alaska Development Board, Goodman has great hopes.
"Alaska must have an industrial economy to take the place of its present war economy. Especially in western Alaska. In Anchorage thousands of people have invested heavily in new homes, new businesses, new apartment houses. At present we are financed by military spending. Some day the present military boom will collapse and we must have stable industry of some kind to take its place," Goodman declared.
Goodman said that he knew that the members of the Development Board were interested only in the progress of the territory. "We have no interest in politics. Our policy is that the development board is to be entirely non-political," he said.
