Homesteaders Not
To Get Govt. Aid
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Rep.
Crawford (R.-Mich.) insisted that
war veterans if authorized to
homestead in Alaska must not ex
pect financial aid from the gov
ernment if the going is too tough.
Yesterday he told a public lands
sub-committee considering home
steading legislation .
“I shall oppose the government
helping the veterans get back to
the United States if they fail, and
shall oppose the government fi
nancing their venture in any way.
Unless they are ready to burn
their bridges behind them before
they go they are no good as pio
neers.
Crawford’s statement came af
tei Ray H. Brannaman, of Colo
rado, vice senior commander-in
chief of Veterans of Foreign Wars,
testified he believed, after a three
weeks trip to the Territory, that
“homesteading for veterans is
1 practicable.”
Brannaman, argued that veter
i ans should be settled in Alaska
! for national defense purposes. He
I added that “We must be prepared
to stop an invasion (through Alas
ka) by air because that is the way .
it will come. The chances are
great that any invasion of our
country will come through the
polar region. ...”
