GEORGE D. CLOSE, Inc, National Newspaper Representa- tives, with offices in_San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Beattle, Chicago, New York and Boston SEATTLE REPRESENTATIVE-Gilbert A. Wellington, 1011 American Blflk Edlldilll ALIENS ANSWER CALL The alien registration program, required by a recent act of Congress, is being carried out here, as in the rest of the nation, smoothly and quietly. Hun- dreds of aliens living in Juneau have registered at the Postoffice room provided for that purpose. Pre- sumably there are hundreds of others who have not yet registered, either because they do not understand the provisions of the act, or because they think that | there is plenty of time before the closing of regis- tration. Registration is compulsory. Every alien must| register. The law provides a penalty in the form of| a fine and imprisonment for failure to register, as well as for refusal to be fingerprinted, intentionally giving false information, and failing to report chang-| es of address. Registration con: of answering certain ques- tions, such as name, address, place of birth, date and place of entry into this country, and occupation. Each alien is asked how long he intends to remain| in this country and whether he has had any mili-| tary service either here or abroad. He is required to list his activities and to name any organizations of which he is a member or in which he partici- pates, and to state whether they further the inter- ests or prograth’of #'foréigm government. Congress has placed upon the Department of Justice and the Postoffice Department the duty of carrying out the provisions of this Act, and these two departments are working in close cooperation in order that this huge task may be carried out smooth- ly, efficiently, and with as little disturbance in the lives of our alien population®as possible. | About fingerprinting, everyone should understand | that there is so stigma of any kind attached to it. Hundreds of thousands of persons have had their| fingerprints taken and recorded for identification| purposes, The day has passed in this country when| a fingerprint file is regarded in any sense as a| “Rogues Galle| It is simply a modern means of | identification, It is the most accurate way to keep| records straight and to identify them. Names may be changed; faces changed or even lifted; signatures| may be forged; but no two sets of fingerprints have| | visions of the law, as, for example, whether or not | pay | But that'’s an udder story. fingerprinted every year. All Federal Civil Service workers, all postal savings depositors and many others are fingerprinted as a matter of course. There is no disgrace to it, and no alien should have the slightest compunction in submitting to it. The alien need not fear that the information he gives will be used by the Government to harass him, or will be available to others to annoy him or discriminate against him in any way. The law pro- vides that the records shall be kept secret and con-| fidential. Nobody may examine them except with the express permission of the Attorney General of the United States. All may rest assured that the Attorney General will see to it that these records will not become available except to those entitled to the information for legitimate needs of national defense and for other proper governmental purposes. | Another point which should be brought home to| every alien is that registration is absolutely free. No| official fee of any kind is involved and no money| need be paid by the alien to anyone. If doubt exists | as to whether an individual comes within the pro- he is a citizen, which is often a complex and diffi-| cult legal question, he should play safe and register. If he has any doubt as to how to answer some of | the questions, he should go to the Post Office and make inquiry, He will be furnished with all the help which it is possible to give him, and he cannot anything for this advice, Already there have been some complaints regarding persons who are| attempting to take advantage of aliens and who | pretend that they can “fix things” to avoid registra- tion, or make things easier in answering the ques- tions, or eliminate some of them. They offer this spurious advice in return for a fee. The alien shoultfl beware of these “racketeers.” Those who are citizens can be of great assis-| tance in carrying out this phase of the Dr(ensel Program. Many can help their country by hclpmg' aliens understand the purpose of the Reglstrnuon. Act and how its provisions will be carried out. Thev\ can tell them where to go to register and when to| go. They can be of particular assistance to those who are not familiar with our language, and who may have difficulty in reading and understanding the questions, and above all, they can point out to their alien friends or acquaintances the necessity for them to register and can urge them to do so as soon as they can. There will very likely be a large last- minute rush when the period ends on December 26. Above all, citizens can make clear to alien friends that registration is intended by the Govern- ment for the protection of aliens as well as for the protection of our country. Roads for Alaska : (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) Residents of this region have long thought of the | Alaskan road problem in connection with the pro-| posed Alaska International Highway. William A. Hesse, Territorial Highway Engineer has recently proposed a highway system which may | be regarded as supplementing the international road | project, or as a partial alternative. Pointing out that most existing roads, totaling | 1,044 miles, are not connected with each other, M. Hesse proposes the addition of 1,063 miles to consti- tute a system, extending from Haines at the south- | east to Anchorage and Mount McKinley National | Park at the west, to Circle at the north and with| connections - to -Whitehorse and Dawson in Yukon Territory. The advantages of the Hesse plan, alike to resi- dents of Alaska and the Yukon, and the prospective | tourists, are obvious, It would enable a visitor to| take his car from Seattle by boat and tour Lhrougn much of the non-Arctic interior, see something of the coastal terrain, make side trips to the old Klondike, and return comfortably by ship from Haines. A considerable part of the mileage would fit into the international Highway project. Hitler reportedly keeps an “angel of death” and three aides busy day and night devising secret weapons. It seems like the poor fellows would have a day off once in a while, if the defeat'of England is going to be as easy as the Nazis say. France seizes dairy industry, a headline says. ever matched. In the last war every man who served in the Army, the Navy and the Marine Corps was fingerprinted.

ARMY UNIFORMS Young men who want to be offi- cers in the new Army are finding that the greatest obstacle is the cost of getting dressed. The Army dees not provide uniforms for its cfficers, and the cost at a tailur shop is enough to send them back home as conscientious objectors.

GERMAN OCCUPATION Intelligence reports from Europe indicate that it is not the German army but civilians in France who are causing trouble. These reports state that the Nazis already have begun to create their vaunted uni- fication of Europe and their reduc- tural state. Following the conquering Nazi armies, there came German ecivil- ians in numbers almost as great They settled down in evacuated PFrench homes and began to oper- ate abandoned French shops and factories — and to take over others which had not been abandoned.

Radical agencies will gain ascendancy over certain organiza- tions and continue to influence ob- struction of preparedness measures. Sensational revelations just before | the election date will turn many are deliberately misleading.
