ALIENS TAKE NOTE
The four-month period provid
ed by Congress for the registra
tion and fingerprinting of all
©liens in the United States and
its Territories is now nearing it
close. With less than a month
to go we are facing the task of
registering the last 800,000 or so
non-citizens who are (1) still ig
norant of the law, (2) negligent,
or (3) reluctant or unwilling to
comply with the law.
Nearly 3,000.000 aliens have al
ready registered. It is the last
few hunr d thousand who will
fee the most difficult to'reach.
Undoubtedly some of these re
side in Alaska.
About those who are deliberate
ly neglecting to register we can
do nothing for the present. At
the end of the registration per
iod, they will take their places
with any other criminal; but we
are making every effort to reg
ister those non-citizens who have
not yitbeen counted through ig
norance or misunderstanding of
the law.
Aliens are warned as follows:
(1) All aliens who were in the
United States and its territories
as of August 27 must be register
ed and fingerprinted byDecem
ber 26, or face a $1,000 fine, six
months in jail or both.
(2) Alien children under 14
must be registered by their pat
ents or guardians but are not fin
gerprinted.
(3) Aliens having registered
have still * not fully complied
with the law unless they notify
the Immigration and Naturaliza
tion Service of the Department
of Justice in Washington of any
change in p rmanent residence
addreses within five days of such
change, on a form available at
the Juneau Post Office.
(4) The Postmaster should be
n titled immediately in the case
o fany bedridden alien so that h:
may take the necessary steps to
rr ister him at his place of con
ifjn ment.
(5) There are no fees of any
kind connected with r gistration.
Aliens should beware of racket
eers dho promise to “fix things.”
(6) The Post Office Depart
ment and the Department of Jus
tice are ready to answer any in
dividual questions about registra
tion The alien may feel free to
call on them for any assistance
they can render.
' If you are an alien and have
not registered, do so at once, so
hou will not be subject to the
heavy penalties for failing to
comply with the law.
If you have a friend who is an
alien and who may not know
about the regulation, yos will be
doing him a favor to clip this
editorial and send it to him.
Let us hope that alien resi
dents within our borders will
discharge promptly this one re
sponsibility the United States
places upon them.
THE PAN-AMERICAN FRONT
(Philadelphia Record)
We are delighted that the
Good Neighbor policy, which be
comes more active every day,!
will include the presence of Vice
President-elect Henry A. Wal
lace at the inauguration of Presi
dent-elect Manuel Avila Cam
acho, of Mexico.
Mr. Wallace intends to special
ize in Latin-American affairs. He
should be of immense help in
building up Pan-Ameriean senti
ment which is so important to
the defense of this hemisphere.
Other developments in Pan
American trade include the ar
rival here of an Argentine finan
cial mission and the concession
by Uruguay of bases for the use
| of all American nations.
U. S. - Argentine talks some
months ago fell through because
of opposition from British finan
cial interests, apparently backed
by the then British Government.
Such a British policy of maintain
ing unimpaired its financial ad
vantages in Argentina is as short
sighted as it would be for us '.u
refuse any aid to Britian.
There is every r:ason for Brit
ons as well as Americans to hope
for a more successful conclusion
of the present negotiations.

Hungary joined the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo axis, giving Hitler a mili
tary corridor (1) stretching 250 miles deeper into southeast Europe
—toward Greece (3), Turkey (4) and the Suez Canal. Informed
sources said Rumania and Bulgaria (2), together with Spain, may
be next to join the axis, and that pressure may fall yuiakly on
neutral 1 ugoslavia. The pact was said to be aimed at Britain’s side
against the snow-balling totalitarian bloc.

Soviet Buys
Tools For
Wells, Mines
Soviet orders for more than
$9,000,000 worth of heavy equip
ment were placed in th? United
States last month and an addi
tional $25,000,000 or $30,000,000
worth of goods will be purchased
here before the end of the year,
according to information in the
export market.
The Soviet buying is a direct
result of the more lenient atti
tude taken by the government
here in the matter of export li
censes for the goods Russia needs
exporters said.
Foreign traders attached unus
ual significance to the large vol
ume of earth-moving and haul
ing equipment, including giant
shov Is, which the Soviet has or
dered. The purchases are held
to indicate that Russia now plans
extensive strip mining operations
at the copper deposits in the
Lake Balkash region near the
Chinese border at Alma Alta.
The shovels already purchased
and those for which Russia is
now negotiating are for moving
ore there, according to exporters.
At the outbreak of the war
the USSR, which has purchas
ed most of her copper imports
thru London, was unable to get
aditional metal there because ex
ports of copper were prohibited.
She turned to this market at that
time and was buying heavily
until the United' States put a
moral embargo” on such exports.
Since that time the Soviet has
betn casting about for a satis
factory source for the metal and
elected to undertake develop
ment of the Lake Balkash de
posits.
Second in importance to the
mining equipment purchases are.
recent heavy commitments for
oil field equipment, including
drilling machinery, rigs, pumps,
steel tubing and other necessary
apparatus. The purchases are in
tended, according to last week’s
reports, for use in the vast oil
bearing region running from the |
Caspian Sea north to the Arctic
Circle west of the Ural Moun- j
tains and centering around Ufa.
In addition to the drilling
equipment large-scale orders al
so have been placed for machin
ery and apparatus needed for the
establishment of oil refining
plants. Orders already placed
and those contemplated in the:
oil refining category will account
for a large part of money Russia,
will spend here.
The willingness of this coun
try to permit Russian buying
here, foreign traders explained,
is a direct reflection of the inter-!
national political situation. Early!
last summer Soviet orders almost
reached the vanishing point, and
the Administration and Russian ,
officials were deadlocked over the
question of licenses for the -ex
port of $10,000,000 worth of ma
chine tools which had been com
pleted and were awaiting ship
ment.
With the present situation'
abroad and the seeming possibil
ity of wooing Russia away from
the Axis, the United States has
released the tools and has made
it easy for Russia to get export
Proof of Labor Blanks can now
be had at the Nome Nugget office
HENRY WALLACE IS
GREETED BY RIOT
MEXICO CITY—United States
Vice president-elect Henry Wal
lace secluded himself refusing to
comment on rioting that greet
ed his arrival at the American
embassy. ,
Followers of the united Mexi
can presidential candidate. Gen
eral Juan Almazan stormed
around Wallace’s car in front of
the U. S. Embassy. Shouts of
“viva Almazan” “Down with Wal
lace” went up before police stop
ped a shower of rocks with tear
gas. Resentment toward Wallace
was interpreted as resentment
toward the U. S. welcome extend
ed President Elect Manuel Cam
acho by Wallace’s visit.
In addition, spokesmen express
ed belief that the demonstration
had been planned by fifth col
umnists to creat; unrest in Am-1
eriean political relations.
