ALASKA SETTLEMENT
PROPOSED
Alaska comes in for a lot of
front-page national publicity re
cently on the strength of the re
commendation of Secretary Ickes
based on the report of Under
Secretary Harry Slattery. The
big idea is to let down the im
migration bars to settle Alaska
with exiled or refugee Europ
eans.
A point is made that Scandin
avia, in the similar parallel and
with similar climatic conditions
and resources, supports millions.
This long has been patent to all
who know their Alaska.
The fact Alaska also has vast
mineral, timber and agricultural
possibilities awaiting the quick
ened touch of industry is no new
Btory.
To give tliis northern Empire a
teeming population long has been
a dream of those acquainted with
the facts. But to maintain the
ideals of Americanism and Am
erican institutions it is a natur
al asumption the ideal people
for the region are Americans, cul
•lured and steeped in American
traditions.
How to introduce a predomin
ant alien element and maintain
the institutions of American dem
ocracy is a problem. And even
admitting that the immigration
bafs be lowered and peoples of
foreign land be admitted to the
territory how and who is to fin
ance them. Should not the Ameri
cans anxious for new opportun
ities come first, to form a predom
inant mass to assimilate the alien
element.
Statehood may be visioned for
Alaska if all the population and
industry dreamed of be realized.
But under present conditions
newcomers and even long resi
dent Alaskans have a vote.
There’s a lot of basic legisla
tion, financing and maneuvering
to go through before the big
dream can even begin to evolve.
into legislation.
Alaska is brought into the lime
light by the suggestion, and the
publicity doubtless will put her
on parade in a big way as a new
Utopia but there’s a mightly lot
of hard thinking and seasoned
preparation before Alaska can be
launched on a safe and sane pol
icy of whosesale settlement. —
Fairbanks News-Miner.
UNCLE SAM LAUNCHES
SUPER AIR PLAN
Far reaching and sure to be
felt in marked degree in many
quarters—including Alaska—is
the big program for construction
of 1,000 U. S. Army airplanes in
accordance with contracts let in
Washington this week.
Eighty six million dollars go
immediately into action for the
puropse. Leading American air
craft manufacturers now throw
their factories into high gear.
Pacific coast as well as eastern
factories have been awarded con
tracts ranging from nine to six
teen million dollars each.
Skilled men for such works
will be in demand in every fac
tory. After them will come the
demand for more pilots and avia
tion mechanics to attend the
ships.
Thousands of youths will be
required—and here is a verdant
field for young men seeking a
field of permanent employment
with high rates of pay.
Aviation training schools in
connection with colleges are a
part of the program. Alaska
should and no doubt will get her
share of attention in these mat
ters.
New opportunities are open
ed—and to those with a keen i
t
eye to the future here is their'
opening. Qualify and ride along
with one of the biggest programs
ever launched in America.
A 42-year old English lady is
ci|tting a third set of teeth.
Which goes to show to what
lengths women will go to stay
youthful.—Ketchikan Chronicle.

TWENTY THOUSAND
BUNDS IN U. S.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 (/PI—
Fritz Kuhn estimated that dues
paying members of the German-;
American Bund totaled 20,000 ]
persons after testifying that mem !
bership records of the organiza-i
tion were destroyed at his order
because of prospective investiga
tions.
The Bund leader, appearing un
expectedly before the House com
mittee investigating un-Ameri
can activities, said he had only
partial records of dues payments.;
The destruction of membership
I
records, he said, was ordered
when an investigation seemed
, likely by the Dies committee and
also by a New York state legis
lative group.
Kuhn said the Bund came into
existence at Buffalo in March,
1936, after he had determined
to form a political orginzation
composed only of American cit
zens.
When Chairman Dies demand
ed to know why Kuhn wished to
form a political organization com
posed only of American citizens,
Kuhn said he wished to form a pol
itical organization independent
from “Friends of New Germany,"
which included German citizens.
He displayed emotion for the
first time during the hour or
more of testimony because “Rep
resentative Dickstein was raising]
hell about us down here at Wash ]
ington. We wanted to shut his
mouth because he was making
wild charges against us and try
ing to smear us,” Kuhn shouted.
