AUASEA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION THE SENATE’'S OPPORTUNITY With twelve staunch supporters, including the two Republican members, the Territorial House of Rep- resentatives yesterday afternoon passed the Ross- Dan Green memorial endorsing the Dimond bonded indebtedness bill now before Congress. It should sweep through the Senate with a similar handsome majority and be forwarded forthwith to Congress and Delegate Dimond. ; In the words of Andréw Nerland, veteran Legis- lator from the Fourth Division, outstanding Alaskan and Republican of a life time standing, “if there ever| was a chance to support our Delegate to Congress this is it, and it is the least we can do.” In his statement before the House, Mr. Nerland went on to point out that Delegate Dimond is working for the good of the whole Territory and he stressed the fact that the Delegate apparently has made contacts with the right men in Washington and Con- gress, which will lead to a development program which the entire Territory is hoping for. The Representative explained that while he was a Republican, member of the oppsite major party from Mr. Dimond, the question of support of an Alaska program was not a| political matter but one which all Alaskans support whole-heartedly. Representatives Ross Rogge of the Fourth and Representative Coffey of the| Third emphasized similar sentiments. It is an old adage that united we stand and di- vided we fall, but it is particularly apropos of the Alaska develcpment situation. If we do not throw our full forces together behind the things all of us realize we must have if Alaska is to advance, we can I assured no committee of Congress handling appropria- tions is gojpg p} fl»§ us much consideration. Alagka must show a un t.” The Territorial Senate has the opportunity to make that front solid at this time by casting its full eight votes in support of the Ross- Dan Green memorial. Last September the voters of the Territory dem- onstrated at the polls that they heartily endorsed the Roosevelt Administration and its efforts in behalf of Alaska and the nation. The Dimond bonded debt bill is fully in line with the Administration policies of the national government and the Territorial gov: ernment. From President Roosevelt on down through official Washington and the members of Congress there is a warm feeling for the Territory and honest sentiment in favor of helping Alaska go forward to greater things. For the first time in history, the| nation is cognizant of Alaska’s vast resources; of her) ability to support a million and more people if those | resources are properly developed. Dr. Ernest Gruening of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions, Senators Lewis B. Schwellen- bach and Homer T. Bone of the State of Washington, and.a host of other Senators and Representatives and officials in high position are sold on the Alaska program. They are giving Delegate Dimond support such as no Delegate to Congress from Alaska has ever had. As Mr. Nerland said, the least the Territorial Legislature can do is swing in line to a man behind that program if it has the interests of the Territory at heart The Territorial House has demonstrated that it is comprised of real Alaskans with vision. The record of the Senate to date is evidence that it, too, is made up of high caliber men with honest differences of opinion, not afraid to voice them, but Alaskans to the core, and ready to fight to the last man to see that the Territory gets its place in the sun. Eight ayes in that distinguished body on the mem- orial endorsing the Dimond bill and thus the Alaska program will mean that the Senators are wholeheart- edly back of the Alaska development program and Delegate Dimond’s plan to put it in action. No foolin’, it is a record when the Washington State Legislature passes the appropriations bill with- out a long drawn out conference with stopped clocks. One instance, it would seem, where sit-downers were of service. Now that the Republicans have viewed with alarm the Democrats tomorrow night will and then we'll all feel even and on Lincoln Day, point with pride happy. The most popular words of voice or pen at the moment appear to be: And your memorialist will ever pray. | (New York World Telegram) Thé alien baiters are girding on Capitol Hill, first to’fight the administration’s substitute for the rational; and humane Ketr-Coolidge bill, and next to whoop it up for a set of measures that would turn all immigrants into a hunted band of outcasts. Reading a program announced by Senator Ro- bert Reynolds, of North Carolina, and Representative Joe Starnes, of Alabama, one wonders whether this is America or Nazi Germany. Their bills would pro- | hibit government employment of aliens; deport all | aliens on relief; cut existing quotas 90 per cent; deny entry to an alien who leaves his family abroad; require registration of all aliens here and arriving. Granting that criminal aliens should be given {the bum’s rush without delay, this program reflects |a phobia. What facts about our alien population justify a set of laws that would spread terror and misery? According to Harold Fields, a member of the | Citizens’' Advisory Committee on Immigration at Ellis ’Island in 1933 and a student of this problem, there "m—e in the country now 4,500,000 aliens, legally resi- | dent foreigners who in due time are entitled to nat- uralization. Of these 1,500,000 have taken out first papers. Of the 3,000,000 remaining a half-million are disqualified by age or residence to take out papers | now. |night schools and learning to become citizens. Im- imigration today is negligible. For every one of the | 36,000 coming in annually one departs Surely this trickle of strangers seeking refuge here does not jeopardize our institutions. Indeed, wvuld not the gates locked against all foreigners de- prive us of mahy desirable persons? Our republic was built by aliens.

The American Automobile Asso- ciation reports that while motor clubs have succeeded in defeating parking tax proposals in scores of cases, several cities have been add- ed to the meter-parking list. Court battles have developed in many communities. The executive committee of the American Automobile Association says the meters place an additional tax and harrasment on motorists, already ‘overburdened; the system (Wil _not relieve traffic congestion .because the curb area still is in use as a parking zone; and adop- tion of ‘the meter system means enrichment of a private company at the expense of a motorist through a municipal ordinance. Advocates of the meters contend that detection of overtime parkers is much easier with that system; increased business results to mer- Ichants because of the greater flow of cars in and out of parking zomes; \revenues to cities help balance mu- hicipal budgets, and business of gar- | ages and parking lot owners is in-! creased.
