Portiand, 71,911 ALASKANS ‘ | 1011 t A. Wellington, Alaska takes justifiable pride in yesterday's an- nouncement by Census Supervisor J. P. Anderson that the population of the Territory as of October | 1, 1939, was 71911 and that the rate of growth in| Alaska since the 1930 census has been faster than that of all the States in the Union except two. Since 1930 the Territory has become the home‘ of 12,633 new Alaskans. Even since the latest census| our population has increased greatly. The new fig-| ure, large as it is, does not include any of the many | people who have come to Alaska in the past year, |and we believe the influx since October 1, 1939 has been the greatest in the history of the Territory. Workers on the Army and Navy bases at Anchorage, Fairbanks, Unalaska, Kodiak and Sitka have come north by the thousands, many of them bringing their families. Almost 1,000 soldiers have come to Alaska since the census date. More thousands of soldiers have received orders to move north as soon as quar- ters are available for them Alaska has marked up wonderful progress, in population as well as in other things, in the past lecade. The next will show even ggreater develop- ment. VOTE ‘re not very proud times. everyone who| the most strmgm.‘l, made appropri- now that | nely and that, ng: Here’s Your Hat, Herr Draeger (Philadelphia Record) German sources in Washington admit that Dr. Friedhelm Draeger, German Vice Consul in New York has been acting as Gauleiter of the Nazi party in the United States. They insist that's nothing unusual; Gauleiter Draeger merely collects dues and gives party in- structions to the 1,000 or Nazis who are in this country on official busine: Draeger, they say, has nothing to do with American citizens in his capacity as Gauleiter. In the first place, we doubt if Draeger can or a does separate his functions as Vice Consul from motion expunging| . "y, tions as Gauleiter (district leader for the| faisvad "1 United States). As Vice Consul he meets many | Bahle anc asking | o mericans of German extraction who are trying to to mention it to|get in touch with relatives in Germany. Individuals in that position can be put under to keep the true|pressure by threats of what will happen to their he whole story of |relatives in Germany. They can be made into tools d we did. of a German organization in the United States. Even if Draeger could separate his functions this country would not be justified in allowing a foreign Vice Consul to function as a Gauleiter. There are certain kinds of political activity which diplo- matic and consular representatives aren’t supposed to carry on in the countries to which they are ac- credited, Draeger’s activity clearly violates diplomatic custom. If it doesn’t, our State Department still might stretch a point and notify the German Government that Gauleiter Draeger is persona non grata here.

There is a portent of treachery within the nation and for this reason danger of betrayal in high positions of trust is 1ore-’ seen.

International Affairs: Again .the seers prophesy a change in the pols | icies of Britain. Disease among the brave soldiers will add to the suf-| fering of those who so wonderfully have defended the Empire. There is a sign read as presaging for the Duke of Windsor emergence from a place of seeming unimportance to the nation that he has ruled: He may be betrayed into some unwise move. He will seek friends in this country and Canada who should encourage him to be eauti~ ous and conservative. 9 Persons whose birthdate it “is; have the augury of a year of pro- gress.
