MIGRATION TO
 ALASKA BEING
 TAKEN UP NOW
Impoverished Families from Northern States May
 Be Sent North

WASHINGTON, Dec. B. Con- trolled migration of impoverished families from the northern states into Alaska is being studied by the Relief Administration and Interior {. Department.
 The Relief officials described the plans as still in a nebulous state and added no positive action would be taken before next Spring, never theless the data is being assem- bled as to possible areas to which the families might be moved ad- vantageously.
 The proposed migration will be limited perhaps to not more than 300 families during the first year and only families from the north ern states will be considered first, none from the southern states.
 One group, on which data is be- ing assembled and which the re- lief officials have in mind, may be from the copper mining area of northern Michigan, those on re- lief rolls and where little chance is offered for unemployment. It is suggested they might be trans ferred to some mining project Tn Alaska where the families could grow part of their own food.
 To head off correspondence, of- ficials said plans are not advanced sufficiently to warrant inquiries.

LARGER FORGE, OFFICERS, MEN,
 POSITIVE NEED
Secretary Swan son S An nual Report Voices
 Firm Conviction
PRESENT STATUS,
 SERIOUS MENACE
Condition of Worlds Af- fairs Requires Fleet
 Second to None

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Voicing the firm conviction" that the United States must be unexcelled on the seas, Secretary of Navy Claude A. Swanson says that the efficiency of the Nations fighting vessels has been impaired by shortage of officers and men.
 Adequate Personnel
 Secretary Swanson, in his annual report, makes it clear that now the Navy has authority to build to the full treaty power, it's next goal is an adequate personnel.
 ITO continue to operate the fleet with an insufficient number of men is serious menace to the success of a battle in an unantici- pated emergency said the Secre- tary.
 The Secretary speaks of the grat- flying progress of Naval aviation and the ship construction program and urges Congress to continue to provide funds for replacing over aged craft.
 No Air Unification
 The Secretary opposes the pro- posals for a unified Army and Navy Air Service, but through the entire report runs the theme of more officers and men,"
 Ship commanders, says Secretary Swanson, have been pleading for enough personnel men essential for battles. The minimum enlisted per- sonnel at the present stage of de- velopment, Secretary Swanson plac- ed at 87,500 or about 5000 more than the present force.
 The Secretary said the Navy should have 1000 officers instead of the present 5000.
 Increase Annapolis
 The Secretary said he will ask Congress to increase the number of appointments annually to Annapo- lis.
 In conclusion the Secretary of Navy said Tn the present un- settled condition of world affairs, it is gratifying to see the Navy being restored to a position com mensurate with it's responsibilities the defense of the nation. While we may be willing to reduce our naval strength proportionately with other Powers, it is my firm conviction that the interests at stake justify and require our Navy to be second to none"

STAR OF COP. SHOW


 Borah is credited by some who know him with still lingering aspiration to sit in the White House. Some speak fo him as a possible rallying- point for the scat tered Republican legions.
 Such a suggestion manifestly is out of harmony with the whole background of the man. To sit in the drivers seat would be new experience for him. Some question whether he would like it.
 Naturally, he has made many enemies in the course of his cam paigning. To unite the Party be- hind him he would have to over come the resentment of those right wingers whom he has harried for so long, and likewise the resent ment of those left-wingers whom he refused to join in their great Theodore Roosevelt bolt in 1912 Overcoming resentments never has been his forte.
 But whatever happens later. Borah is, for the moment, the star of the Republican show. That is because he is Borah.

Senator Borah, Great Paradox Of American Politics, Is Real
 Star, Present Republican Sho,v
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington


 Press, Washington
 Borah of Idaho must be put down in history as one of the great paradoxes of American politics.
 He has, as William Jennings Bryan had, an almost incredible faculty of making himself heard in situations where his voice, by every orthodox calculation, would be least expected to be audible.
 For 30 years the Democratic par ty listened when Bryan spoke, even at those periods when his personal fortunes were lowest, when the rank and file completely disagreed with him and refused to follow him. Now again Borah has the Repub- lican party listening. He refuses to abide by Party discipline, attend party caucuses,. or campaign under party auspices.
 Yet whose views on Party reor- ganization and Party leadership are attracting most attention and pro- voking most comment in the wake of the election?
 The views of Borah of Idaho.
 STIRS UP DISCUSSION
 This does not prove that his advice is likely to be followed by the Party. It seldom has been, in all the years of his great promi- hence.
 His fame as legislator rests most solidly on his power of resis- tance.
 It is hard to recall a single major piece of legislation which bears his name. But the Congressional Rec- ord is strewn with references to "Borah amendments" some of which were adopted.
 His most sustained feat of re- sistance was performed when the League of Nations treaty was before the Senate. Time and again, when the contending factions appeared near a compromise which would have ratified the treaty, it was Borah who threw into the debate some coy word, some adroit ques- ton, which started the quarrel all over again.
 The mans power to stir up dis cusion, to set people to thinking and debating, has appeared some times almost beyond human belief. Now he has done it again. Just when so many politicians were signing in relief, believing the elec- tion had settled everything, a voice scarcely heard at all during the campaign has reopened the whole case.
