wonder what resources the Congressman has in mind Surely not gold fish fur or timber, all of which America now has in abundance without i'm porting from abroad. Surely not coffee hemp ban anas or any of the things must import from abroad. Maybe he is thinking of tin But the de- velopment of Alaskas tin resources depend most of 5tates and there are already Alaska and America duce Alaska tin if indeed there is tin in commercial quantities and qualities in the Territory.
 Of course the Congressman's bill provides that refugees admitted to Alaska would not be allowed to emigrate to the States until they had spent at least five years in the Territory. If they found at any time within the five years that they did not like the place could not make a living here, the only thing they could do would be to apply for de- portation, at U. s expense to their homelands. And unless the world changes materially in the next five years such return to their homeands will be impossible The refugees will become dissatisfied, disillusioned hungry mob in which anarchy and revolution will thrive.
 Representative Dicksten states fatly to the Con gress: There will be objection the part of the people who live in Alaska to see their num- contrary. all the people who live in Alaska re- sent very much the suggestion of such form of development" and the importation of refugee colonsts the cesspools of Europe would create and are very sorry to say it or see it come-hate and intolerance within own communities

DIM0ND URGES NEW STUDY OF
 BOUNTY SYSTEM
Delegate Cites Increase in. Coyote Catch Despite
 Huge Payments

Some effective way of controlling or exterminating the wolves and coyotes in Alaska must be found If other game animals are not to be destroyed, Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond says in commenting on bounty payments in an extension of re- marks in the Congressional Record.
 Tn spite of bounty payments Dimond declared, ''the coyote catch continued to increase Gin 1940) |; 2,O80 coyote pelts were shipped from the Territory as compared to 1,507 during the previous year.
 Tt is obvious that if wolves and coyotes in Alaska are not controlled, the other game animals will mater ially decrease in number, and there fore it is of the utmost importance to find some effective way of con- trolling, if not exterminating, those predatory animals in Alaska"
 Reexamination Urged
 The Legislature has been urged by the Board of Budget to reexamine the bounty question, citing a recent survey in which 8.365 coyote stom- achs were examined and found to contain chiefly rabbits, mice and carrion. The Board recommended that the bounty on coyotes should be reduced or eliminated entirely and the appropriation go to wolves only
 "The advisability of continuing such huge payments may well be questioned" the Board said. Gov. Ernest Gruening also ques- ticned usefulness of the bounty sys- tenn in his message to the Legisla- ture.

HOW NOT TO DEVELOP ALASKA

If anyone can possibly develop backward Alaska it is the "hard-workng refugee who has no otner place to go and who easily be persuaded to make his home in this large unoccupied area says Samuel Dicksten of New York, who has never visit ed the Territory and who never took the slightest interest in its development until he saw chance very recently to use Alaska as concentration camp for millions of refugees
 Congressman Dcksten's bill to colonize Alaska by utilizing unused immigration quotas is opposed by Delegate Dimond by the Territorial Legislature and by all Alaskans hearing on the measure begins before the House Immigration Committee today.
 The Congressman delivered himself the other day of a speech which ne entitled Save Humanity by Permitting Limited Number of Aliens from Op- pressve Dictators to Enter Alaska as an Aid to National Defense and Benefit the United States. In 1t he shows striking ignorance of affairs in the Territory and the world He thinks Alaska will be safeguarded from attack if it is settled by group of people who will be animated with the strongest possible desire to defend our country at that point In other words, men who failed dis mally in the defense o their own countries against totalitarianism would be imported now to defend Alaska
 The Congressman is at least 10 years out of date on bis information about Alaska. He speaks for instance Of population being only 6o,ooo and of only very Insignificant and most unsatisfac- tory efforts having been made to coonize the Ter ritory and make il nabitape.
 The Congressman thinks his scheme would be of immense benefit to business in the States by creating market in Alaska for surplus manufac- ured products. He falls to say what his penniless refugees who would not be allowed to take out of their lands of oppression enough money to pay their fare to Alaska, would use to purchase American materak Although he seeks to provide an answer a little farther by declaring it is clear that Alaska has it's economic resources still sintapped and proper development of the country will surely bring about natural surplus of those goods which this country needs and which at present we are obliged to import from other countries" We

Blitzkrieg in Africa
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 In their way the British campaigns in Africa are not unlike the German lightning invasion of Western Europe The Germans concentrated i'm mense strength in very small of heavily popu- lated land relying swift transport and great fire power with stupendous aerial support Briains problem is wholly different, of course, as it involves operations against Italian positions flung over an area 250O miles from end to end Yet many tactical devices the same.
 One feature in common is the dependence on fast nlechanized battaons. British armored forces have sped 100 and 200 miles ahead of the main army to cut enemy communications and entrap the garrisons of enemy bases The British have also used air power just as the Nazis did in Western Europe to knock out enemy ardromes far in advance of the infantry.
 Like the Naz campaign, Britain's African cam pagn has no clearly defined fighting front, but rather a series of swiftly changing positions And like the Nazi conquest of the Low Countries and France, General Wavell's conquests do not entail enormous casualties but invariably result in the talk ing of great numbers of prisoners.
 The most important factor common to both pagns is the skill shown by the Germans and Brit ish, respectively, in adapting weapons of great mobility to the special circumstances of terrain. There is also interesting analogy between the Nazi technc of fifth-column work and the success Britain has had in persuadng the Philippians to rise against their conquerors.
 Neither of these great campaigns of the is really unorthodox Some weapons Their applications are novel. But the underlying purpose is the familiar of bringing the utmost fire power to bear at the decisive point and at the critical time There is nothing about that

 To be specific, the COP leaders who are opposing Willkie are:
 JOE PEW, of the Sun, Oil fam fly and long time financial angel of the Pennsylvania Republican, ism.
 ERNEST WEIR of Pittsburgh, head of the Weirton Steel Com pany and a row of iron and steel corporations which have been em- broiled ip feuds with organized la bor.

 There are even reports that one of the above went to the extent Of contributing cash to pay the expenses of certain Young Repub- lican leaders to Des MoineS in order to lead an attack on Will kie. The attack, however, failed The Des Moines meeting ended by passing resolution approving Will kie's position.
 The cleavage illustrates the basic difference which has existed in tht Republican Party for some time and which Willkie, at least during his campaign, partially healed.
