REFUGEE IMMIGRATION
 TO ALASKA

TO THE EDITOR, DAILY AL ASKA EMPIRE, Oct. 21.-At a time when it is seriously proposed to bring to Alaska for settlement a large number of alien refugees, relaxing the general immigration laws so far as Alaska is concerned, it would seem proper to make a few remarks on the subject. The proposed settlement, of course, is an attempt to force a population into Alaska which it is not yet ready to receive.
 Alaska like Australia and other isolated countries, lacks popula- ton because, among other reasons peculiar to itself, it is far re- moved from inhabited areas. Com parison has frequently been drawn between it and the Scandinavian countries. At the close of the Ice Age, climatic conditions at last allowed man to enter Scandinavia from adjacent territory; but au- thorities differ as to when this occurred, suggestions varying from 10000 years B. c. to 5000 years B. O. There were fishermen and farmers in those lands when the Baltic was a freshwater lake. It will be seen from this that the situation in Scandinavian countries as to development and the slow progress of Alaska are not con- parable. It takes time to build up natural population as distin- guished from a regimented one. Then, too, the Scandinavian areas are most adjacent to salt water, the great reservoir of warmth the world over. It is unfortunate that, except as to the coastline, the great bulk of Alaska is remote from this influence.
 Today, as a rule, countries, in cluding the United States, are making every effort to keep out immigration instead of encourag- ing it. Competition in every line is too keen, even in distant and under populated Alaska. There has simply been no demand for what Alaska has to offer. The possibili- ties are here but they have not yet become possible, When the time comes to exploit its timber, mining resources, farm-lands. etc, as the natural resources of other lands become exhausted, population and industry will come without the application of force. Until then, Alaska is a great reserve for the United States and it is so written.
 It is proposed to settle this alien refugee population on farms in Alaska. This does not appear to be such a brilliant idea when 1t is remembered that every national budget includes hundreds of mil- lions of dollars for the relief of the poverty stricken farmer Agri- culture, largely on account of it's competitive character, is at low ebb everywhere, so why initiate number of non-English speaking unfortunates into fresh misfortune in Alaska? They have been pretty well abused already
 Population, like business, is built up by a sort of natural secretion

Vote on Am|ie
Nomination Deferred
As Hearing Ends
Senate Subcommittee
Completes GriIIine Of
I.C. c. Nominee

Although the Senate subcommit-
tee hearing on the nomination of
Thomas R. Amlie to the Interstate
Commerce Commission is completed,
prospects were today that vote
would be deferred at least two weeks.
The three-day hearing ended late
yesterday. after the former Pro-
gressive House member from Wis
consin had doggedly defended the
frankly left-wing economic views
which have brought widespread op-
position to his appointment.
Senator Johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado, chairman of the Senate
Interstate Commerce Subcommittee,
which held the hearing, said he
wanted to get the transcript printed
and in the hands of committee
members before final action was
taken.
Repeats Denial Of Charges.
Mr.. Amlie, who has been charged
with Conmunistic leanings, re-
peated his denial of this yesterday
as he underwent lengthy cross
examination by Senator Austin, Re-
publican, of Vermont.
The questioning revealed that Mr.
Amlie is convinced that the "old
economic system is breaking down
and that preparations should be
made for meeting that eventuality.
Several times he emphasized that
he always had advocated action
within the confines of orderly con-
stitutional procedure. He was op-
posed, he said, to violence and revo-
luton. That was, he said, a point
on which his doctrines differed from
those of Communism, and as a re-
suit he had been severely attacked
by Communist leaders.
Views Are Examined.
Senator Austin examined Mr..
AmIe closely on his views as eX-
pressed in magazine articles and
speeches. The speeches were made
both in the House, of which he was
. member until this session, and
before various left-Wing organiza-
tions. They advocated a system of
production for use instead of profit
and a constitutional amendment to
abolish absentee ownership of the
instruments of production.
Mr.. Amlie said his ideas had been
constantly changing and that
things he said few years ago did
not necessarily represent his view
point now
Mr.. Amlie repeatedly said that the
key to his ideas of economics and
political action in connection with
them was fear of Fascist dictator
ship in this country. which he said
was far more likely than Com
munism.
