EFFORTS TO PREVENT
SWEDISH EMIGRATION
Stockholm, Dec. —More earnest
efforts are befng made to prevent emi
gration from Sweden as a result of the
publication of statistics showing that
in 1816 more than 7.300 persons left
this country, as compared with fewer
thrn 4.100 in 1915. About 67 per cent,
of those who go are bet ween 15 and 30
years of age, and virtually all take pas
sage for America.
Notwithstanding the increased emi
gration last year, a great number of
Swedish-Americans who returned to
Sweden have been induced to remain
here, many haviDg purchased farms,
whiie for others places of work have
beet) obtained through the instrumen
tality of the National Association Op
posed to Emigration. _
The endeavors of this organization,
of which Dr. Adrian Molin is president,
are warmly supported by the govern
ment. Prince Carl, brother of the
king, addressed the association s ten
year jubilee meeting recently, lie said
that during 50 years, 1,173 (>00 Swedes
emigrated, representing more than
one-fifth of the country’s present popu
lation. In a single decade, from 1881
to 1890 inclusive, 376,401 persons left
the country, lie said.
Dr. Molin described the association’s
propaganda work, which included some
800 addresses at public meetings in
1916, and told of the success in finding
places of laDor for returned emigrants.

The -local board lias received tlie
following from the provost marshal
general of the United States:
All aliens within the draft age
should hold permits from local board
1 to enable them to leave Alaska. All
alien enemies must have permit from
United States attorney before they can
leave Alaska.
Nothing is said as to how the trans
portation companies are to know as to
what class any man belongs, and so it
would seem the part of prudence for
janv one wishing to leave Alaska to se
jcure a certificate or permit from the
S local board.
