REFUGEES TO ALASKA

The proposal of Congressman Buckley of New
York that Alaska be made haven for political refu-
gees from Germany appears at first glance to be a
fine humanitarian gesture, but when viewed in the
light of actuality it Immediately raises the question
Of how these refugees are going get started the
Territory
As we understand it, the refugees for the most
of their possessions and wealth by the Nazi regime
in its ant-Semitic program. Thus wherever these
prosecuted and unfortunate people go they will be
without In view of that fact their outlook
for opportunity in Alaska is not encouraging.
It is necessary TO have ample resources to come
to the Territory to start to out economic
existence The present unemployment problem, caused
by hundreds of coming from the States in search
OF work reveals the fallacy of coming north without
resources There no jobs for these men who are
now having a hard time of it, and there would be no
jobs for the political refugees from Germany They
would have to their of livelihood,
and to do that requires certain amount of capital
which, reports from Maitland indicate, they would
not have as it is all being taken away from them.
Aaskans and Americans have no such prejudces
against the Jewish people as is revealed in dictator
controlled countries abroad We welcome them we
do any other race or nationality. Alaska has many
people of the same that is being prosecuted
in Germany and they prove to be excellent citizens.
But regardless of how broad sympathies might be
in that direction, the economic viewpoint cannot be
overlooked. To encourage the German refugees OF
any other people, to north without ample re-
sources would only be adding grief to their already
unhappy existence.
H. on the other hand, the plan of Congressman
Buckley proposes to carry with it scheme for gov
financing of these people Colonists in Al
aska it would be well to bear in mind the cost Of
starting the original 200 Colonsts who were settled
in the Maanuska Valley That figure stands at be-
tween three and four million dollars Thus it may be
that the settling of any sizeable number of the
people in the Territory at government expense would
run into important money And at the same time it
must be remembered that Alaskas agricultural pos

in over ten years, leaving his bench
lease on Ruby Creek to the freeze
OF winter
Over the weekend in juneau,
Frank took in what Juneau had TO
. offer and either lost $460 in a
poker game or won that much" And
he scattered advice broadcast to
young miners.
Attn and the rest of the gold
country has too many young men
who just want to work for wages, =

out prospecting when they're not
working"
Frank should know Those leath-
cry hands of his have handled many
thousands of dollars in dust and
gold since his arrival in Atlin in
1913.
There are thousand creeks that
haven't even been touched Frank
said, but. the pay is deep and it
takes perseverance and someone
who can talk the money necessary. =
And as for Juneaus poker tables,
Fitch was surprised at the amount
of money changing hands, but
thinks he could teach 1.-THE punks'
a few early day lessons if he didn't
have reservations on the Yukon for
Seattle today.
