ALASKA FOR THE UNEMPLOYED ?
In Soviet Russia, the best workers form a huge group of
“shock troops” who are sent from place to place where then
services can best be utilized. But for the great numbers of
unemployables—the incompetents, the unhealthy, the lazy—
there is only one solution: Siberia.
By millions they are being shipped to Siberia. There
they have been promised a chance to make good. They an
exempted from taxation, and other advantages are granted
but the task they face is far greater than that faced by the
pioneers in America.
Thus, according to John Powell of the Chicago Tribune
foreign staff, when soviet officials “boast there is no unem
ployment in tiie USSR they are only technically correct,
for those who do not fit into the new industrialization pro
gram or the socialized collective farm program in European
Russia are simple loaded on freight trains and shipped to
Siberia.”
So it is understandaable why a soviet official asked
Powell “in all seriousness why President Roosevelt doesn't
ship all the American unemployed to Alaska.”
Such a solution would be the Russian solution. Cer
tainly it bears no resemblance to the American system and
holds no promise of winning favor anywhere in this country.
Nor could we in Alaska do more than hold up our hands in
horrified protest at the barest suggestion of such an eventu
ality.
Still, there was some wisdom in the official’s further
comment, for in “talking about the soviet mass migration to
Siberia as an offset to Japanese activities in Manchuria, he
argued that the United States has a similar problem in Alas
ka and that it could not hold the Territory unless it fills it up
and industrializes it.”
Regardless of the merits of the suggestion, the fact that
Alaska needs population and industrialization is well known.
In 30 years our population has shown no increase even for
temporary periods. And this fact faces us despite consider
able industrializing over the years.
The proposed first migration of unemployed—not un
employables—to the Matanuska Valley is a step toward the
peopling of Alaska. And while many in the Territory view
the move with skepticism, there nevertheless is much to be
said in favor of the plan. Certainly, the experiment will be
watched with interest both in and out of Alaska itself.

THE PRINTER IS TO BLAME
It may be sad. but still 'tis true,
There's one thing all we humans do,!
And that is, blame the printer.
He does his best, without our help,
For all we do is stand and yelp.
Then cuss and blame the printer.
We write our manuscript by pen.
To read it is beyond our ken.
Yet we expect the printer
To work it out and get it right.
We think not of his time or sight:
If wrong—we blame the printer.
We hold our stuff until the last,
Then try to rush it through so fast
The printer gets snowed under.
But still we camp upon his trail,
And prod him on with woeful tale,
Or rant and roar like thunder.
He shoots it through, the proof we
get—
But find the job is not right yet.
We chop that proof to splinters
It takes two days before he knows
Just what each hieroglyphic shows—
A dud lot are those printers.
The job's delivered. Some relief
To know were through with rush
and grief,
We ought to thank the printer.
But. no! The poor man’s luck is out
lie overcharged us without a doubt
Once more we cuss and blame
the printer.
