 Ip the political phase of the prob lem, the alien population accounts for 22 members in the lower house of Congress, the number of Repres- entatiYes being based on the total population. They reside in large cit ies and constitute an active, strong bloc for or against any bill on irl- migration or naturalization, even though they are not citizens.
 One may get some idea of the alien power yielded in this country when he considers that Senator Cappsr Has made little progress in getting recognition of his Constitutional Amendment to keep aliens from oe- ing counted for apportionment pur- poses.
 Observers readily understand .ue difficulty in correcting the alien ec- onomic problem. but they see no good reason for delaying action Ou the Capper Amendment.

EXPECTED WHEN
 U. S. LEAVES PHILIPPINES

Europeans. Filipinos. and even Japanese ~esidents of the Philippine Islands are complaining because Uncle Sam has declared his intention of quitting the islands in 1945. de cording to John J. Gallagher, form CT Alaskan and planter at Zamboaa- ga, P. l. since 1900.
 The Europeans favor American protection, the Filipino governing class is largely dependent upon U. S. financial interesbs and the Jap anese are not far enough advanced with their peaceful penetration program to take over the islands.
 Trouble in Offing
 Only American influence is stroag enough to keep peace and regulate the balance of power in the Pacifia Mr. Gallagher believes. If the |. s. abandons the Philippines, trouble may be expected.

NOME MAN TELLS OF LIFE
 AT THE PIONEERS'S HOME
(From Nome Daily Nugget

(From Nome Daily Nugget
 A recent letter from Elmer Reed, a former Nome resident who is at the Pioneers Home at Sitka, tells of conditions there as he) found them If every oldtimer knew of the lux uries and fine treatment awaiting them at the Home they would mob the institution to be admitted.
 Mr. Reed, who is employed in the office department at the Home has the following to say about it:
 The Pioneers Home is certainly a credit to the people of Alaska. Here some 200 sourdoughs are treated with all the consideration and kindness and it is just like liv- ing in a firstclass hotel. The meals are of the finest and the kitchen is an uptodate institution. l lived so long on hopes and canned goods for so long in Nome that I can see the difference now.
 Fresh fruits and vegetables ar rive on every steamer and the larder is always stocked up with the best.
 Our old friend Doc Kemp is in charge of the commissary and dis penses shirts, socks, clothing, etc. to the bunch just as he did when be was a merchant prince in Nome.
 Doe tells me he enjoys the work as it gives him something to occupy his mind, l am pleased to say he is feeling fit as a fiddle.
 ''The average age of the residents is 73, which speaks well for the Home. Several here are over 90 years of age and still going strong. We recently buried one who had passed 98. Old Bill Guisler tells me that be is leaving tor Teller to go back to his diggings. He is now 90 and OEe

RE-DREDGING UNDER WAY OF OLD PLACER GOLD CREEKS

Re-dredging of old placer gold creeks - something new in the Northland-has been started in the Klondike camp. according to recent reports from Dawson. A heavy per centage of the gold content of the grayels an1 the bedrock was lost by the first dredges. which work q there 20 to 30 years ago, it is un- derstood. and the more modernly equipped iredges are digging deeper into the bedrock and recovering much lost gold from the gravels with aid of more efficient modern means of washing and recovery in the dredgs rifles.
 The new dredge operations on the worked-over ground are understood to have been inaugurated by the In- ken Consolidated Gold company on ground on lower Bonanza Creek, at or near it's mouth. Some 100 miles Of Bonanza. Eldorado and Hunker creek were mined with dredges during the first period of dredge operations, ne- fore the present company took over the major operations of the camp. Many miles of the claims worked by the dredges had been worked pre- viously by individual methods. Should they be drsdged again, this will be their third working
 About 100 miles of placer ground on Sulphur, Dominion and other creeks in the camp held by the big company are yet to be dredged. Some dredges are now working on the ground and others are being in stalled Three dredges also are work ing in the Klondike valley, where they have been engaged for many years.

THE ALIEN PROBLEM

The order of Harry Hopkins, Feder- al Emergency Relief Administrator, to state officers to gradually re- move aliens from the WPA rolls will be watched by many citizens throughout the country. His position is now supported by provisions of the new appropriations law which is aimed to keep aliens off the Govern ment payrolls.
 Nearly 2,00O were scheduled to be dismissed rn July 31 in the area of New York City. Demonstrations were immediately made there by alien groups and their sympathizeTs against this order. A number of aliens, it IS reported, have resorted to injunction proceedings in the Federal Courts to restrain the WPA Administrator in that city from con- tinuing their removal from WPA rolls.
 The complaint charged that tue Administrator misinterpreted the law in his wholesale dismissal of foreign-bOrn WPA workers. In his comment, the Administrator said: Tt is a question of whether we should lay off aliens or perfectly good citizens"
 Representative Emanuel Celler, Democrat, New York City, described the "Wholesale dismissals" in a let ter to the administrator, as de plorable".
 The Administrator declared that he was merely carrying out the law. If the law is worthless, he said, T am sorry, but l didn't make ii"
 MT. Celler admitted that the law was essential, which brings up the question settled by the law itself: In giving employment to a worker by the Government, who should be given preference - alien or citizen
 It is pointed out that the status of an alien in this country is one of sufferance or courtesy; that lie possesses no rights which would eu- title him 70 remain here, much less demand employment on any payroll, state, federal or private.
 It is estimated that there are ap- proximately 5,O00,OO0 aliens in his country and that around 6 per cent of the WPA workers are from this group. There are also many who are on some form of non-work relief.
 Students of the alien situation contend that it presents two major national problems - economic and political. The former involves the displacement of millions of citizen: in the industries of the Nation by aliens, as well as the support of un. employed aliens, to say nothing ot the two hundred fifty or three hund
