As a self-described “student of popula-‘ tion problems,” Mr. Rojo prescribes as follows: 1. The resources the Territory, actual and| potential, should be surveyed thoroughly as a basis! for estimating the number of people it can support. 2. After the approximate number is determined, the government should figure out the length of time it expects to fill Alaska with the desired quan-| tity. (This is going to be a cinch!) | 3. The annual rate of necessary migration and| the necessary increase through excess of births over| of deaths must be checked with the actual yearly rates. If the actual rates fall below the required rates, the government has to examine its policies the causes of the shortage in order to ective program. and study put over a more ef: 4. Communities must be planned in advance. 5. Recruiting offices in the thickly populated states of the Union should be established. under-populated country, like Canada, Australia and South Africa,” says Mr. Rojo, “has been pursuing similar policies.” Rojo suggesls a commission to the recruiting agents of $3 for every man, $2 for every woman and $1 for every child they can talk into coming to Alaska 6. Efforts should be exerted natural resources and possibilities of Alaska through the press, the radio and the movies. 7. Agricultural schools should be established in the “agricultural lands of Alaska,” where each pupil will be given so many “hectares” of land to culti- vate, which after graduation will become his land and to which he may call his family to live, 8. Roads should be built to connect the various communities and agricultural lands “in the main-| land and in the big islands.” These communications should be complemented with railroads and ferries. 9. The immigration laws (now we're getungi down to cases) should be amended so as to open| Alaska to selective immigration from foreign sources.| The United States immigration laws, says Mr. Rojo, “should make exception to Alaska,” and “so that foreign immigrants will not use Alaska as a gateway | | would cut down visibility so sharply. “Every | to publicize the! they could not go and reside permamnny into thls country.” 10. Some legislation must be passed to curb the evils of absentee ownership (how about absentee workers?) I 11. Wise fisheries conservation measures must| be enforced not only among “insiders” but also; among “outsiders” invading the Alaska fisheries. We| take it Mr. Rojo here speaks of the Japanese and‘x not of outsiders like himself who come to Alaska| for two months of the year and take back to thcl States money enough to keep them through the| other ten. 12. The U. S. Army stationed in Alaska .can| help a great deal in the development of the Terri- tory. In Siberia, Mr. Rojo points out, homesteaders who are short of hands for harvest go to the mili- tary barracks for help in men, trucks, etc. Some- thing like this ought to work out nicely in Alaska,| he thinks. Of course, no invader would be so mean as to take advantage of our soldiers while they were| pitching hay. | 13. Immigrants will be attracted to Alaska, Mr.| Rojo thinks, if a pension is given to mothers for| every child over three children. As a corollary, a| tax on bachelors is suggested. It is mere happenstance, we suppose, that Mr. Rojo's program should have 13 points, Nothing more unlucky for Alaska could be imagined, however, than| a “development” policy such as his. A “Secret” Accident? (Philadelphia Record) | It looked like one of Grimm’s fairy tales modem-! zed—until our own Army Air Corps made it seemi real. Yes, we're thinking of the yarn out of Berlin about “secret” paint used by the British to make their bombing planes invisible. Indignantly, the Nazis cry that due to the “secret paint” they can| see only shadows of the attacking planes, vague| ‘mrgets at best, and hence the bulk of the British| ed by disrupting influences inter- bombers get away in safety. | Oddly enough, the British officially deny the| German story, repudiate what we'd regard as a| high compliment to British ingenuity and resource- fulness. s Mystery? Maybe. We can think of three solutions, however, one or more of which may be correct and all of which may be wrong: First is that the Germans cooked up the story | for the home folks, as an alibi for their poor shoot- | ing, their failure to give Berlin better protection dgainst the British raiders. Second, that the British put the “secret pamt" on their planes by accident, without realizing it | Third, that is really is ‘“secret paint,” or at| least a paint specially designed to reduce plane visi- bility. If so, it is hardly, as the Germans say, “a| secret the British alone possess.” - This last does | sound like an alibi. Whatever the truth of the situation abroad,| there’s no mystery over here. Army Air Corps offi- cer y we have been experimenting for years with | “invisible paints,” and that two kinds are now used.l one for daytime, the other for night flying, both | of which reflect a minimum of either daylight or searchlight. Secret? The whole idea begins to seem simple and logical. Almost as simple and logical as Lhe | accidental discovery that color-blind persons, in a‘ | plane, could spot camouflaged guns much better than persons with normal vision. Countless ‘other military and scientific developments have been the | fruit of similar ‘“accidents.” But whatever the scientific angle of this new “secret” (successor to the “secret weapons”), it is encouraging to find the Germans starting to give out alibis for their own failures. They're being hit where it hurts. Theyre even talking about pre- paring for war over the winter—having forgotten the promise that London would be captured by August 15. In another few weeks, the Fuehrer may he tell- ing his people about the “secret fogs” over London, which kept him from keeping that promise, The Germans declare that from now on they| won't show any respect for the rights of the civilian public in England. To date, evidently, they've just been practicing not showing any respect for the rights of the civilian public in England. Even the attitude in Congress changes. Japan doesn't like our rearmament program, and so far no Senator has sought to stop it on that account. What this country needs ls‘ fewer people yelling | “Gimmie,” and more shouting “Lemme.” The way the campaign is heating up, we doubt very much if there will be a frost anywhere in the | fluences | unemployment greatly reduced there into the United Stafes, it should be so plovldcd that (oumn before November 5.

NOT: Ge an telligence agents unguestionably knew the exact c: pacity of American powder factories and how limited our present pro- duction was namely, 20,000,000 pounds a year. They must have known also that the destruction of one factory would throw the United States off its preparedness schedule more than any other single incident MERRY-GO-ROUND The State Department is still try ing to keep the muzzle on Mr “Daisy” Harriman, forthright Min- ister to Norway.

Nel- son Rockefeller, young, naive mem- ber of the National Defence Com- mission for Latin American Affairs, | session of Congress, the new defense a concerted and successful tax lobby as that which has swarmed the halls of Congress in an effort to gut the alleged excess profits bill. Result is that the new bill is not an excess profits bill at all. At least two-thirds of it is an increase on corporation taxes, which doesn’t even begin to take away big business profits on national defense orders. As a matter of fact, this flat tax makes it harder for the smaller firms to compete with the big ones. Furthermore, the new tax bill will raise only a drop in the revenue | bucket compared with what was ex- pected of it. With some six billions of national defense voted at this bill will be lucky if it nets one- third of a billion dollars. TOBACCO LOBBYIST { Most potent personage — behind | the scenes — in shaping the new tax |bill was Clay Williams, able and | amiable head of the Reynolds To- baco Company. Williams’ influence results from his friendship with Representative “Muley” Bob Dough- ton, Chairman o fthe House Ways 1s making molasses-like progress, is It's a dizzy world in the capital.

This year, however, Clay Williams, who is also a pillar of the United States Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manu- facturers, came to Washington in the middle of the summer to camp beside his neighbor from North Car- olina while the tax bill was being written. So Bob Doughton this year wasn't quite what he used to be. SENATE STRIPPING Despite this, the tax bill as it came out of the House was a far more nearly genuine excess profits | bill than when it came out of the Finance Commitee of the Senate. | There, Pat Harrison and other elder | statesmen stripped it of almost ev- | erything the Treasury wanted, there- | by causing Assistant Secretary of the Treasury John Sullivan to ask for | the privilege of being heard by the committee. Harrison agréed — but | wished he hadn’t, for Sullivan gave | the elder statesman a dressing down such as is seldom heard on Capitol Hill. “This bill is a complete misnom- er,” Sullivan told the commitee, among other things. “It is supposed to be an excess profits bill, but I find that less than one-third will come from war profits.

International Affairs: In United States universities the effect of ideas—many of which have been imported from foreign foes of .de- mocracy—will be evident as the training of men for the Army, Navy and aviation is imperative. Sensational revelations regarding the number of opponents to our national defense program will be made in various parts of the coun- try.
