ALASKA MEMORANDUM A long memorandum on the settlement of Euro- pean refugees in Alaska has been introduced in the Senate by Senator Wagner, who recently submitted the bill which would allow nonquota immigrants to enter the Territory for development purposes. Speaking of the plight of the oppressed people of Europe, a people with which, it must be said, Alaska fully sympathizes, the memorandum states that “as between the Territory of Alaska and other proposed lands of refuge Africa and South America, the attraction of the American flag ap- pears irresistible.” We fully agree with Senator Wagner about the irresistibility of the American flag, and it is for that reason that we are greatly alarmed at the set- tlement proposal. We are afraid that the stampede of refugees into Alaska would engulf us. It should be noted that the pending bill places absolutely no limit upon the number of nonquota immigrants who could be admitted to Alaska. What Senator Wagner illustrated in a section of the memorandum which states that “immigrants, in meeting the problems of frontier life, would not be thinking of the comforts of life in the States that they had sacrificed, but in terms of the savagery and hopelessness of the conditions abroad from which they had been res- cued. To such people the difficulties that seemed so fearful to some of the Matanuska settlers would appear trivial.” The memorandum even sets out to answer five anticipated objections to the bill: (1) that the cor- porations to be set up for Alaska development would compete with existing enterprises; (2) that Alaska would be burdened with penniless refugees; (3) that immigrants would use Alaska as a stepping stone to illegal entry to the States; (4) that the plan would place Alaska in an inferior political status, and (5) that the proposed legislation is a radical departure from past precedents. The answers are not convincing. For instance It is argued that Alaskans should not object to the plan because inhabitants of New Haven don't “con- sider themselves put in a position of inferiority when a student visa is issued restricting the bearer to attendance at Yale University.” in Neither are the answers reassuring, It is main- thinks about Alaska is| to confine the refugees, would have to be a super-| vision over every traveler from Alaska. We don’t want to have to go through a control station every| time we take a trip. | “Furthermore,” says the memorandum, “it should | be noted that immigrants with guaranteed oppor-| tunities of livelihood_in Alaska are not likely to| want to become deportable aliens in the Umwd{ States.” | One wonders how the jobless American cuizmi and Alaska resident is going to feel about these favored aliens with “guaranteed opportunities of livelihood.” If the Government will undertake to | guarantee the opportunity of livelihood to all its| citizens, then, and only then, will it be time to | begin making America a promised land of guaran- teed jobs for the citizens of other nations REBUILDING THE REICH Associated Press dispatch from Berlin: “Babies' diapers were rationed today. “Infants less than one year old have ration| cards representing 90 points for a first child A second child gets only 30 points a year, while addi- tional children get 60 points each. Sleeping suits cost five and six points, diapers, socks and shoes, one point each.” How great are the gifts of the Fuehrer to his people! New Horizon (Philadelphia Record) Charles F. Kettering, head of General Motors research, seldom ventures outside his own field of applied science. But when he does, he talks un- commonly good sense. As chairman of a committee in charge of cele- brating the 150th anniversary of the opening of the U. S. Patent Office, he discussed at some length industry’s opportunities, For many years, he said, industry’s biggest problem in this country was the lack of a sufficiently large labor supply. As a result, progressive leaders of industry concentrated on devising new machines, new processes, new devices to save labor. Now however, despite the slowing up of the increase in | population, there is plenty of man-power available |to do all the necessary work to satisfy all the ac- customed needs. | The problem of industry, Mr. Kettering said, has changed. It is no longer finding a substitute for labor, but to supply new labor-increasing in- dustries. It is hard to estimate the effect of the clear | statement of an obviously sound idea. Undoubtedly | labor-saving inventions were the result of conscious | effort. | It may be that once the efforts of industrialists, ‘sclemisu, inventors and investors are consciously | directed toward creating “labor-creating industries” they will be equally successful. Contradictory Aims | (Cleveland Plain Dealer) | | The Socialist party, which again has nominated | Norman Thomas as its presidential candidate, wants | to eat its cake and have it, too. It wants the United | States to refuse all economic aid to the Allies and | yet it recognizes, through a minority report to -its Washington convention, that a victory by Hitler would end all those civil rights for which the party stands. Like many other well meaning organizations, the | Socialist party has made a fetish of the word peace. War is condemned without consideration for its character, causes or consequences. Although a “party of the peope,” the Socialist party fails to | see that the plain people of Britain and France are| behind this war, It makes the mistake of believing that the average man will cling to peace—the word rather than the reality—as it does. But after months and years of the kind of peace that preceded this conflict the common people of the western democracies have come to the inevitable conclusion that there can be no real peace which means stability, security and freedom at home, until the shadow of Naziism is permanently dispelled from the world. They do not like war, but they face the necessity of fighting one in order to attain real peace. If the Socialist party were really a party of the people it would advocate giving every aid to those people in putting an end to Hitlerism. the Want Ads MEAN TO ® TO SELL that gun, fur- niture, baby carriage, coat, trunk at a profit, ® TO BUY that ice box or rug, piano or suit, car or accordian at low cost. ® TO RENT that room, garage, apartment or that house to desirable tenants. ® TO HIRE that maid, gardener, nurse, chauffeur, JUNEAU ..

Business Affairs: Warming is given that heads of big business may hesitate regarding important initiative at this period. The seers foretell continued prosperity, but they counsel thrift and caution in conducting financial affairs, since there is to be a far-reaching bank- ing crisis centering in Europe. National Issues: Taxpayers are to be sensitive regarding the large number of persons in governmen- tal employment.
