A Wise Precaution

The action of Justice Depart ment and immigration agents in rounding up aliens known to be in this country Illegally is an em- inently wise precaution.
 The Alien Registration Act adopted by the last session of Congress gave the nation it's first means of checkup on aliens resid ing in the nation, numbering sev- eral millions. This was intended not as a means of marrying or per scouting the foreign-born ele- ment of the population, but ra- ther to provide the United Stat es with some much needed in- formation-World affairs consider ed-regarding the strangers with in cur gates.
 The new roundup of aliens is something quite apart from the alien registration last year It is aimed primarily at the aliens who dodged the Registration Act; not the foreigners who have busi- ness here or have come here to establish themselves as useful citizens of the United States, but rather the ones who have no business or right 10 be here Most of the Axis seamen who have overstayed their legal leave in this country are in this category.
 The Justice and Immigration agents acted in the light of the fact that aliens here illegally. while including many innocent of any intent to abuse the nations hospitality, comprise in the main a group which is already danger ous and may become more so as the war progresses. What is talk ing place shows that Federal au thorites are awake to the dan gers, and are determined 10 see to it that no foreign fifth col umn' will have a free hand in America. - Cincinnati Enquirer.

DEFENSE HOUSING - ANCHORAGE A

From the Office of Emergency Managen7 ent, Divison of Defense Housing Coordination, the follow ing statement was released on May 27.
 Expanding military activity in the Anchorage, Alaska area, in particular the large increase in personnel at Fort Richardson. has caused a shortage of housing which private enterprise cannot be expected to alleviate because of the urgency of the need and the fact that such housing must b. built on the military reserva- ton.
 'President Roosevelt, therefore on the recommendation of C. F. Palmer, Defense Housing Coor- Ginator, approved a new program of 20 units to be built with pub l.c funds made available under the Lanham Act, which has pro v.ded S3O00oO,0G0 for defense housing needs. This project will supplement the 325 unit project al ready approved, making a total of 545 government-built dwell ings
 Tt was recommended that the Federal Works Agency assign reconstruction of the new group to the Army, inasmuch as the Army is the constructing agency for the previously approved program.
 Rentals for the 200 dwellings, to be occupied by families of en- listed men, will be determined by the Army communication allow ance, which will amount to ap- proximately $35 per month shel- ter rent For the premises to be occupied by civilians, the suggest ed rental range is $2l to $45 per month"
