, Nazi Feeling Against Jewish Settlement in Africa
Germany Recall
Ambassador To -
Great Britain
LONDON, Nov. 22 (£*> — Re
ports that Germany was consid
ering calling her ambassador
home for consultation on the de
terioration of the relations with
£ Britain since the Nazi Anti-Jew
* ish drive, were published here.
The reports were unofficial, for
the German Embassy spokesman
was silent.
Resentment was apparent
among Nazis against the parlia
mentary motion deploring the
•treatment of “certain racial, re
ligious, and political minorities
in Europe,’’ and the proposal that
Tanganyika be one refuge for
German Jews.

150 ENUMERATORS TO BE EM
PLOYED THRUOUT ALASKA
Although the sixteenth decen
nial census of Alaska is not of
ficially scheduled to start before
next October 1, the count of Al
aska’s inhabitants actually will
start soon after the first of the
year, according to a recent state
| ment by Secretary of Commerce
1 Roper at a press conference.
“Governor Troy has agreed to
assume responsibility for com
pletion of the canvass. A resident
j of Alaska will be appointed to
' supervise the actual taking of
the census. Between 130 and 150
. enumerators will be employed.
Many of these enumerators will
be members of the various fed
eral services operating in Alaska,
i such as the coast guard, bureau
of fisheries, office of Indian Af
! fairs,” he said.
“Airplanes, water craft and
dog teams will be used by the
i enumerators to cover their rout
j es.
“A federal nurse pushing her
I way by dog sled from Point Bar
; row east along the Arctic Ocean
i shoreline early in 1939 will set in
j motion the far-flung machinery
1 of the census.
I “Present plans call for the en
umeration of the population and
the agricultural activities of Al
|aska, with the possible addition
i of other subjects. The population
schedule wil be somewhat short
er than that used in the States.
The agricultural schedule, like
wise, will be comparatively sim
ple, but a few of the questions—
> for example, those applying to
fur farms and the reindeer in
dustry—may be amplified as corn
pared with the corresponding
ones on the schedule in use in
the States.
“The census will report on the
activities of the Matanuska col
ony at Palmer which was estab
lished in 1935. Interested individ
uals and agencies wiil be consult
ed in the preparation of the Al
askan as well as other census
schedules.”
