What To Do With
Your Money?
w
In the last war it was a patriot
ic duty to buy Liberty Bonds—
but if the U. S. defense program
develops as it is pointing, with
the national debt already 10 tim
es its level in 1917 and costs
likely to go higher, harsher meth
ods might be necessary.
Where you could once choose
between buying a house or a
mew car, keeping your money in
the savings bank for emergen
cies. or lending it to the govern
ment, the changed circumstances
might make forced loans or cap
ital levies necessary.
Italy has already had three
compulsory loans and now taxes
everyorv? not only on income but
with an annual tax on all their
capital.
Germany, of course, has many
dodges, one of them a forced ac
ceptance of tax certificates bear
ing no interest fo ra part of ev
erything the gov rnment buys.
Hungary has a direct levy.
Holland at the start of her
war effort announced that if a
public voluntary loan were not
successful it would be made com
pulsory in order to defray mo
bilization expenses.
New New Zealand has just put
through a compulsory loan pay
ing no interest.
If it can happen here, the im
plication is that any kind of pro
perty like a home or a bank ac
count may be hit by a capital
levy. v
But then we see what the Eng
lish are doing with a problem so
far much hardrr than ours.
Towns are competing as teams in
'the amount of bonds bought at
$3 each. (There are other specific
bits of news on British methods
One London paper has proved it
more pariotic to drink 100
pounds’ worth of gin than to lend
the same amount to the govern
ment without interest.)
All this is voluntary and no
ir. re to he dreaded than the
Liberty Loan drives of 22 years
sg:>.
That may soon be happening
a^ain.

Limit Is Set On
Time For Alien
Registration
Under th.3 terms of the Alien
Registration Act of 1940, all
aliens in Alaska together with
those in every part of the United
Slates, are required to register
before Dec mber 26 of this year.
This is in integral part of our
National Defense.
Generally speaking, an alien is
any foreign born person who has
not become naturalized or who
has not acquired citienship thru
others. It should be noted that
the mere possession of first cit
izenship papers does not exempt
the holder from registration.
United States citizenship is ac
quired by birth by all persons
who were born in the United
States or in Alaska on or after
June 20, 1867. They are not re
quired to register unless they
have subsequently lost or re
nounced their citizenship. Per
sons born in Alaska prior to that
date, unless subsequently natur
alized must register as must all
those who have entered Alaska
from a foreign country and have
not been naturalized.
Process Explained
Although the Immigration and
Naturalization Service of the De
partment of Justice is in charge
of the administrative work in
connection with the tallying of
non-citizens, actual fingerprint
ing and registration is being car
ri, d on by the Post Office De
partment. Material for the work,
including sample forms, have al
ready been received by postmast
ers in Alaska who will be in
charge of registration there.
All postoffices have a supply of
the sample forms and aliens are
urged to secure a copy, study the
questions and so be prepared to
answer them with a minimum of
trouble at the time of registra
tion. Actual registration will be
carried on at the post offices in
Jiuvau, Ketchikan, Nome, Val
dez, Anchorage, Cordova and
Fairbanks.
Under the terms of the Act, all
aliens 14 years of age or over are
required to register in person at
the post office and be fingerprint
ed at the same time. In the case
of alien children under 14, the
praent or guardian must register'
for them. Such children will not
be fingerprinted until they have
reached their 14th birthday
when they are given 30 days in
which to present themselves at a
post o q? in person for complete
registration and fingerprinting.
Penalties
The Act provides penalties up
to $1,000 fine, 6 months in prison
or both, for failure to register
or for registering falsely, wi.tn
tha additional penalty ,of pos
sible deportation following con
viction for th, latter. Having
regi-tered, all aliens are required,
to notify the Immigration and Na
turalization Service in Washing
ton, D.C., of any permanent
change of their residence ad
dress. Failure to comply with
thh portion of th,- Act is punish
able by a fine of $100, 30 days in
prison, or both. A'iens in Alaska
or the continental United States
on a temporary permit are re
quired to notify the Immigration
and Naturalization Service of
their whereabouts ev, ry three
months.
Following out the expressed de
sire of Congress, the United
States Department of Justice and j
the Post OffiCv. Department are]
taking every possible precaution
to keep individual registration
confidential. Postmasters are urg i
ed to furnish a private room for
registration whereever possible. |
In addition, no ali. n is forced to
register in his own immediate,
neighborhood or even in his own
city, if he d sires to do it else
where. Completed registration
blanks are immediat. ly forward-j
ed to the Department of Justice
in Washington where they will
not be available to anyone with
out the express permission of the;
Attorney G. neral of the United j
States.
Postmasters in charge of regis
tration have been instructed by
Washington to render every pos j
sible aid to the registering alien.
Postal hours are b ing so adjust
ed that no man or woman need
lose time from his work in or-;
der to register. In many cases |
hours will be from 9 a.m. to 9
p.m. weekdays and as late as
6 p. m. on Saturdays.
