Alaska Seeking
War Refugees
Plan to Let scandinavian
And Other Settlers
Aid Development.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF
nationwide campaign to support
legislation providing for the econom-
ic development of Alaska through
colonization by Scandinavian and
other European refugees and Amer
lean citizens was announced here to-
day by the Alaskan development
committee.
The committee said the campaign
was backed by American industrl-
ais and Alaskan trade groups as a
means of opening up a new econom-
ic and social frontier and tapping
the territory's rich, latent resources.
The Alaskan development plan also
has received the vigorous approval
of Harold L. Ickes, secretary of the
interior.
Finnish, Norwegian and other ref
ugees from war-torn Europe would
be settled in Alaska to undertake
development of industry, commerce
and mining under legislation intro
duced in congress by Sen. William
H. King, Democrat, Of Utah, and
Rep. Frank r. Havenner, Democrat.
Solve Many Problems.
The plan, which experts have con-
tented would contribute greatly to-
ward solution of problems of nation
al defense, provides for the private
ly financed development of Alaska
resources by public purpose cOrpo-
rations, each capitalized at mini
mum of $1O,0OO,OO0 The King-Hav-
enner bill specifies that American
citizens must be given preference in
at least so per cent of the jobs of
fered to prospective settlers. The
settlement of American citizens and
Scandinavian and other refugees,
representing skilled labor and war
disrupted industries, would give vi
tai impetus to numerous undevel-
oped Alaskan enterprises, such as
agriculture and live stock, mining,
smelling, wood pulp and paper man
ufacturing, fish processing and fur
farming, supporters of the plan de-
clare.
Economic Importance.
Alaskan development" said the
committee in its statement initiat-
ing the campaign, "can be of inesti-
mable economic Importance in Gre
ating new markets for millions of
dollars of products of American in
dustry and agriculture, and in pro-
viding sources of vital commodities
which the United States needs for
the maintenance of its economy.
Such development is likewise essen
tial to the interests of national de-
Tense because of the difficulty of
defending a vast unpopulated area
of American soil separated by only
81 miles from War-tOrn Asia"
Alaska has been called by mill
tary experts "the most important
strategic area in the world" Today,
they say, it represents a weak spot
in the national defense because. it
T lacks population and facilities for
transportation, communication
housing, disqualification, storage OF
supplies or repair of equipment, all
of which are essential to defense and
dependent upon population. The war
and navy departments have ex-
pressed special interest in economic
and commercial development of the
territory as whole.
The climate of Alaska compares
favorably with that of Scandinavia,
and its size and resources exceed
those of Sweden, Norway and Fin
land combined.

UNDATED, Aug. IT (P)-Hit- Ter warned the world that the British Isles are under complete blockade and thet Germany is not responsible for the deStruc- tion of neutral vessels and lives within the .besieged waters. The proclamation was broadcast by the official German radio as new and more powerful Nazi bombers roared across the English chan mel and sent destruction on Brit aims harbor facilities, airports and plants producing war sup plies. Some nations, like the Unit ed States and Argentina, the Ger man proclamation declared, long since have regarded the waters around England as in the war zone and have forbidden their ships, airplanes and citizens to enter them. The German proclaim ation continued to repeat the warning to other neutral states, and repeating that warning the Nazis resumed their night raids on Britain.
 The time bombs dropped in yes terday's great raid caused delay ed explosions in London's south eastern suburbs. The British re taliated Joy coun.er-attacking Ger many. The air ministry announc- ed that the RAF did considerable damage at night on the plant at Luna, near Leipzig, used for the production of oil from coal and other ''important' objectives.
