Wellington, 1011 American Bank Building. ALASKA COLONIZATION JOKERS Not many Alaskans would want to sit in on a deal as full of jc he proposal to colonize the Territory with { refuge To the casual reader the King-Havenner Bill (S. 3577 which would thorize the formation of corporations for the ment and development of Alask: would appear harmless enough. It ap- parently sets up saf ds against some of the dangers which Alaskans sensed instinctively behind the Slattery Report and recent pronouncements of the Secretary of the Interior But a bunch of jokers, written into the bill by its authors, Feli¥X Cohen and David Speck of the Department of the Interior, were pointed out at the recent Senate Subcommittee hearings in Washington For instance, the bill provides that aliens in excess of U. S. immigration quotas may be admitted to Alaska for colonization purpo: These aliens would have a special status and would not be eligible for application for citizenship until after five years and, as the bill states, until they shall have been reclassified as quota immigrants. The bill goes on to give the Secretary of the Interior authority to re- classify such aliens as quota immigrants in any year in which the quota for that year has not other- wise_peen filled, This would seem to insure against thesé special AlaskKa settlers being slipped into the country in addition to those already allowed under immigration quotas, BUT, as was pointed out at the hearings, the general U. S. immigration law pro- vides that any alien who is in the United States and Alaska is part of the United States—is eligible re: dence of five to apply for naturalization gnnr years. Joker No. 1. Children born in Alaska %o these nonguota im- migrants would, of course, become American citizens at birth, It was also testified at the hearing that 50 per- cent of the people brought to Alaska by these de- velopment, corporations would have to be, not Ameri- can citizens as most of us supposed, but American | citizens OR quota immigrants who have been law- fully admitted to the United States for permanent residence. Joker No. 2 The occupations into which the refugees might enter were, we thought, rigidly limited by specific| mention in the bill After reading the transcript of the hearings, however, we get a new light on this| matter.

Senator of the Homer Subcommittee, said: any of this, unless you want to” is “just write a letter and say all right, brother, into the hotel business you go.” The King-Havenner Bill, it was abundantly shown at the hearings, is a legislative abortion and one of the most transparent frauds anyone ever had the nerve to attempt to perpetrate on the American people, The Subcommittee hasn't had a report to make on the bill since the hearings last May. We hope thgv will keep it right where it is till king- dom come. Mr. Peacock Goes to Town | (Cincinnati -Enquirer) | It must really be a revolution.

So soon the black shirts and the brown shirts and the | blue shirts were followed by the pink, the chartreuse, |the magenta—and very often on the same shirt. Neckties, fairly sedate until the past few years, began exploring the spectrum and were pleased by all they found. | Time passes quickly in a revolution. We can remember when men’s handkerchiefs were white, and you couldn’t find anything to infuriate a bull or flag a train in the whole of the men’'s underwear department. But so violent has been the overthrow of sedate and somber convention that today a gather- ing of sportsmen or summer-garbed pedestrians may suggest that there has been an explosion in a dye factory, though without casualties. So far, it's been sufferable. But there's ominous tone to that prediction of the International Association of Clothing Designers: * brighter, more varied hues.” If we had any money to invest, we'd be in the market for a sun- glass factory Philately Lures Willkie (Philadelphia Record) Wendell Willkie, we see by the papers, is investi- gating the hobby of stamp collecting. Reason? The GOP is after the philatelic vote, President Roosevelt, as U. S. Philatelist No, 1 and a stamp collector long before he got into poli- tics, has helped make the country philately consci- ous, has been popular with philatelists, and has used his philatelic knowledge to help Jim Farley boost the sales of U, S. stamps to collectors by more than ten million dollars in the last eight years. No wonder Willkie is looking into philately. To help him along, we suggest he note the current re- port of the Philatelic Agency of the Post Office De- partment in Washington, which shows that $1,100,670 worth of stamps were sold to collectors through the agency alone, and that several million dollars’ worth more were sold to them thrugh local Post Offices. In fact, it sounds a lot like one of the reports of the mounting profits of Commonwealth & South- ern, Mr. Willkie’s utility, which F.D.R. is supposed to have ruined.
