Wellington, 1011 American Bank Buildt HOW NOT TO DEVELOP ALASKA It anyone can possibly develop backward Alaska, it is the “hard-working refugee who has no other place to go and who can easily be persuaded to make his home in this large unoccupied area,” says Samuel Dickstein of New York, who has never visit- ed the Territory and who never took the slightest interest in its development until he saw a chance very recently to use Alaska as a concentration camp | for millions of refugees | gress: (lated | fire power with stupendous aerial support. the Cohgresstian has” in fur or timber, all of what resources Surely not gold, fish, wonder mind | which America now has in abundance without im- porting from abroad. Surely not coffee, hemp, ban- anas or any of the things we now must .import from abroad. Maybe he is thinking of tin. But the de- velopment of Alaska’s tin resources depend most of || all upon the establishment of a smelter in the United Gtates, and there are already in Alaska and America abundant capital, ingenuity and manpower to pro- duce Alaska tin, if indeed there is tin in commercial quantities and qualities in the Territory. Of course the Congressman’s bill provides that refugees admitted to Alaska would- not be allowed to emigrate to the States until they had spent: at least five years in the Territory. 1If they found at any time within the five ‘years that they did not like the place or could not make a living here, the only thing they could do would be to apply for de- portation, at U. S. expense, to their homelands. And unless the world changes very materially in the next five years, such return to their homelands will be impossible, The refugees will become a dissatisfied, | disfllusioned, hungry mob, in which anarchy and revolution will thrive. Representative Dickstein states flatly to the Con- “There will be no objection on the part of the people who now live in Alaska to see their num- ber augmented by this new colonization.” On the | contrary, all the people who now live in Alaska re- sent very much even the sugg?sllmf of such a form of “development” and the importation of refugee colonists from the cesspools of Europe would create— and we are very sorry to say it or see it come—hate and intolerance within our own communities. Congressman Dickstein’s bill, inspired and sup- ported by Becretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, is a menace to Alaska and the nation, Blitzkrieg in Africa 5 (Cincinnati Enquirer) In their own way the British campaigns in Africa are not unlike the German lightning invasion of Western Europe. The Germans concentrated im- mense strength in a very small area of heavily popu- land, relying on swift transport and great Britain’s problem is wholly different, of course, as it involves operations against Italian positions flung over an Congressman Dickstein's bill by utilizing unused immigration by Delegate Dimond, by the Ter and by all Alaskans begins before the House today.

LONDON, Feb. 19. — Sausages DIMOND URGES NEW STUDY OF BOUNTY SYSTEM Delegate Cites Increase in Coyote Catch Despite Huge Payments Some effective way of controlling or exterminating the wolves and coyotes in Alaska must be found if other game animals are not to be destroyed, Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond says in commenting on bounty payments in an extension of re- marks in the Congressional Record. “In spite of bounty - payments,” Dimond declared, ‘“the coyote catch continued to increase (in 1840); 2,080 coyote pelts were shipped from the Territory as compared to 1507 during the previous year. “It is obvious that if wolves and coyotes in Alaska are not controlled, the other game animals will mater- ially decrease in number, and there- fore it is of the utmost importance to find some effective way of con- trolling, if not exterminating, those predatory animals in Alaska.” Reexamination Urged The Legislature has been urged by the Board of Budget to reexamine the bol}nty question, citing a recent survey “in which 8365 coyote stom- achs were examined and found to contain chiefly rabbits, mice and carrion. The Board recommended that the bounty on coyotes should be reduced or eliminated entirely and the appropriation go to wolves only “The advisability of continuing such huge payments may well be questioned,” the Board said. Gov. Ernest Gruening also ques- tioned usefulness of the bounty sys- tem in his message to the Legisla- ture. from oatmeal and beef are of manufacturers /as a sul te, for_the pork variety, off the’ mai-{ ket now.
