American-Canadian Accord
As war clouds darken the East
ern and Western Worlds, citizens
of the United States and Canada
have every reason to be apprecia
tive of the growing accord be
tween the People of the Republic
and the Dominion.
Both nations long rave dwelt
in peace, with not a gun bristling
over the borderline for 3.000
•miles from Atlantic to Pacific
nor along the far-flung boundary
between Yukon and Alaska.
Where else are frontier of two
great nations without their
troops or fortifications.
The concern of Canada and
American are not in respect of
the attitude of one toward the
other, but for the common pro
tection of the shores of the two.
Recognition of this fact is becom
ing more and more apparent. Co
operative moments of the two na
tions are gradually unfolding, as
witness the joint action of high
way commisions to build a great
highway to serve the two coun
tries from the Heart of Alaska,
through Canada to the heart of
the continent.
Not only a great highway but
« nearby or inter-linked airways
route to serve the two nations
now comes into the picture. At
the same time, the United States
is forging forward with a pro
gram of defense of Alaska that
cannot but help prove also pro
tection to Canada and continent
al America.
The strategic value of such pro
jects for service in times of
peace as in war is fulfy recog
nized by the high direction of
both countries. Adequate defense
cf Alaska forestalls not only any
enemy nation seizing control of
Alaska but likewise making the
Northland a stepping stone into
Canada or the States.
Under the conditions it cannot
but be gratifying to the people of
Canada & the United States that
Ibe Pacific-Alaska highway pro
ject is unfolding with many new
phases of cooperation that spell
I
unity in a case that is paramount
—the staunch defense and secur
ity of the continent against any
possible aggressor.
BIG TASK IN HAND
FOR U.S. CENSUS TAKE
WASHINGTON — Officials of
the census bureau regard the
census about to be taken by the
U. S. and starting Alaska in Oc
tober of this year, as the most
important and far-reaching since
the first census in 1790. Never be
fore, so they believe, has the na
tion had greater need of scientific
data for further guidance in cop
ing with distrubed economic and
social conditions which thus far
the government has been unable
to set aright.
The problem of migration is
one on which President Roose
velt recently submitted a report
to congress setting forth the con
elusion that migrations from
state to state were not, as Cal
ifornians think, of concern only
to their state, but of other states
! as well. Migration from state to
i state, it was found is a new soc
I ial movement in this country
i traceable to unemployment.
The population questionary, in
j addition to propounding the us
j ual question about sex, age, do
or, marital condition, homes and
education will ask for informa-j
tion concerning occupation or in
dustry and present status, whe-:
ther employed or unemployed. ]
Each resident will be asked also
where he lived ten years ago so
i that some measure may be taken
of migrations.
In the opinion of the census
authorities, however, the most
( significant of all data will be that J
[ indicating the trend of popula-!
tion. growth, which has been;
steadily declining, and the dis-!
tribution according to age groups.;
A continuing decline in popula
tion would have a marked bear
[ I
ing in the future economic and
social life of the nation. A small
j er population would foreshadow
I a contraction of future markets

at home and abroad, fewer pupils
in the public schools, would in
dicate less need for plant expan
sion and a greater surplus of
teacher.
The census bureau’s last pre
liminary estimate of the nation’s
population, as of July 1, 1938.
was 130,215,000, an increase of
958.000 or 0.7 per cent over the
1937 estimate, although a station
ary or declining population had
not yet been reached, the census
board reported that the rate of
growth in the eight years after
the 1930 census was less than
half that of the previous decade.
Preparation of the 1940 enu
meration has entailed a vast
amount of preparation which was
begun more than a year ago. Be
fore the signal is given for the
enumerators to take the field, ev
ery detail of the census will have
been thought out, and small
wonder, for the enumerators are
expected to complete their task
within thirty days.
Some idea of the magnitude of
the job may be conveyed by the
typical census technique of citing
statistics. The first step in the
preparation is the drafting of
130.000 maps of enumeration dis
tricts. Then the questionaires are
made up several million of them,
a seperate one for each branch
of the enumeration.
The coastwise mail boat Met
eor arivred Nome from St. Mi

Yukon River mail.
The ship Redwood, which is
operated by old-timer Captain
Olson, and is making the freight
and supply trip to Point Bar
row this year for the North Star
arrived yesteday and departed
fo Barrow late last night or early
this morning. Some passengers
were picked up in Nome.
