The Californian states that he has received letters from approximately 700 of the church members indicat- ing their Alaska-aimed desires. Therz would ke no burden on the Territory, as these families have their own resources, from $5 to $20,- 000 per family. The Eurcpean refugee angle enters with the suggestion that Mennon headquarters is going to work in Washington D. C. to secure an im- migration quota exemption by which church members from the wasted lands of Europe might enter the United States—provided they make no attempt to settle within the con- tinental bounds of this Nation but push right through to an Alaskan mecca. The church would fully fi- nance the refugee resettlement. Mr. Janzen indicates that a Men- nonite location committee will soon ke Alaska bound to look over sites and confer with Alaska officials to ses about opening the rozd for the migration.
