S.| |territory or possession, they must :‘pfl*mnncntly reside in Alaska (or‘ 10 years. | The House memorial prays that the bill not be passed by Congress unless its provisions be extended |to permit non-quota immigration of such Finnish people into the |United States generally. The| imeasure was advanced to final vote | |without ‘amendment, and won the ! lapproval of the Senate by a 13 to 12 margin. Senator Frank Whaley was absent. | Opposing passage of the memorial |were Fairbanks Senators Frank |Gordon and Andrew Nerland. Not Dumping Ground | Senator O. D. Cochran voiced | Ithe principal objection to the Case Bill when he queried: Why single lout Alaska as a “dumping ground {for any aliens.” The act before |Congress, he declared, is “un-Am- |erican in its discriminatory nature” |—both against peoples from other | |countries and against the Territory | iot Alaska. | | Quoting the lines on the bronze | [tablet at the base of tae Statue | of Liberty, Senator Gordon ex- | |pressed his conviction that the opening of Alaska to such settle- ' ment by Finnish peoples would be |“not an outrage” to the Territory,! {but a “privilege’ extended it. Be- {sides, he added, there are not enough Finns in the Territory now {50 that one can obtain a Finnish | !Bath whenever he wants one | Senator H. H. McCutcheon then |rocked the galleries with a bit of {vepartee, remarking: “If we let in | lot of Finns then we might find {the next step is to let down the | ibars to Scots—then the Territory | {would be in a hell of a fix!” Senator Nerland went into the background of the Finnish nation to establish that they would likely |be good residents for the Territory |to have and declared there is a place for them in the development of farming in Alaska. “I'd welcome {them to the Tanana Valley, wher: |I’ve made my home for 45 years,” {he stated. | “Discrimination” Senator N. R. Walker held to the view that the bill before Congress |is “discriminatory,” while Senator {Allen Shattuck took the ‘“realistic” attitude that such unrestricted en- trance of a foreign people might result in a threat to the “high standard of living of American |farmers in Alaska.” Also, he pointed | jout, “they would fill the places “needed to be held open for Am- erican servicemen who will want | to come to Alaska. | Senator Howard Lyng declared himself in agreement with Senator Shattuck .“for the third time in nuska re-settlement by describing | that project as a “military move,” | which was costly but justified from military necessity. Such special privilege as Rep,jv Case’s bill would grant should be | reserved for returning American | soldiers, the Nome solon advocated. “If we let down the bars and don't protest this,” he continued, | “the next step will be another Ickes move” to make Alaska a haven for German-Jewish . refugees. Theré| would not be such ground for op- | position, he concluded, if the Case | measure were applied to the 48 states also, A clamor for the “previous ques- tion” brought balloting on the bill, following which Senator Leo W.
