DEPORTATION
OF ALL ALUS
IS ADVOCATED
The Cordova exemption board is ir
receipt of the following communica
tion, urging the passage by congress ol
a bill for the deportation of all alienf
and asking the co-operation of al
local boards:
At a recent meeting of members ol
all local boards of Seattle, Washing
ton, a resolution was unanimouslj
adopted to initiate a natlon-wfd<
movement having for its purpose th<
deportation of ail aliens, both declar
ant3 and non-declarants, who hac
claimed exemption from milltarj
service on the mere ground of non
citizenship.
The exemption of aliens was th<
most exasperating experience of th<
boards. The action of such alienf
was cowardly, disgraceful, and un
patriotic. Every such person im
mediately branded himself a danger
ous and undesirable resident. Thif
country nurtured and protected these
ingrates. At the very first test, when
■ this nation faced a crisis, these men
were not willing to bear any burdens
For every alien so exempted a good
American boy had to go to the front
These aliens remained at home ir
ease and safety.
They still retain good jobs to the ex
clusion of our returned soldiers.
Many organizations seem to centei
all their attention on the aliens who
surrendered their papers. You, as a
member of a draft board, can see nc
difference between the alien who haf
surrendered his first papers and £
non-declarant claiming exemption—
both of them are the same kind of par
asites. A man not willing to fighl
certainly would not make a desirable
citizen. If congress is so intent upor
deporting only the alien who sur
rendered his first papers, then at leasi
congress should by statute make ii
impossible for the non-declarant alier
who claims exemption to be natural
ized.
Congress is now considering a bil
to restrict immigration. We believe
boafejs, should urge congress to pro
hibit all general Immigration for ai
least a period of years.
The combined influence pt drat
'boards upon the question of deportini
aliens and upon immigration law:
would be tremendous. We sugges
and urge that you immediately writ:
to each congressman and senato
from your state. Get every patriot):
and fraternal organization to do like
wise. The legislatures of many state:
are now meeting; concerted actloi
should be brought to bear to memoral
ize congress along these same lines
Get the newspapers started—do any
thing honorable to break into prin
and to keep the agitation growing.
Will you not give this your immedi
ate attention?
ALL SOLDIERS RELEASED
WITH PROPER EFFORT
The Territorial Council of Defense,
has been active in its efforts to
secure the release of Alaska soldiers
in order that they may return to their
old positions. This is true not only
at the forts in the territory, but also
at the cantonments in the States.
The Alaska draft boys at Camp Grant
sent a committee to Washington to
see Delegate Wickersham, who writes
the Territorial Council as follows:
"I have your telegram of January
22nd, calling my attention to the very
great necossity for assisting in secur
ing the discharge of Alaskan soldiers
and their return to civil life in Alaska.
I have received many telegrams of this -
! kind from other persons and hundreds
of them from the boys themselves. I
have kept the path from my office to
the war department hot for more than
a month working on the matter. I got
an order for the discharge of the boys
at Camp Lewis first and then got all
of the men out at Camp Dodge dis
charged except nineteen, and I have
an application pending now for their
discharge and I think it will be suc
cessful. There are about 500 or 600
of our boys at Camp Grant, near Rock
ford, 111., and there is a committee
from there here now in my office and
we are working to get them diB- ^
charged. Unfortunately the war de
partment has taken the position that
it will not discharge them as a class,
that is, it will not discharge all Alask
an soldiers as a body, and insist upon
our preparing the papers for each one
individually under Circular No. 77,
which we are doing. If you know of
any particular individual soldier who
wishes to be discharged you could as
sist by making out the affidavits of
at least two persons interested in his
case and forward them to me for fil
ing with the department. 1 have not
yet failed in securng the discharge of
any soldier when I have been rea
sonably suppliod with supporting evi
dence that he is needed in Alaska “
and I shall do everything I can to as- -
sist in carrying out the objects stated
in your telegram, and I beg that you
will inform the members of the Ter
ritorial Council.”
URG HOME GARDENING j
DURING COMING SEASON
- i
I
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—The na- |
tlonal war garden commission is pre- jj
paring to launch this spring a cam- •:
paign for the “biggest producing year :■
1 the country ever saw.” To spur the •:
home gardeners to renewed efforts
the commission reminds them that |i
the clocks of the nation will be set j
1 one hour ahead on the last Saturday j!
1 night in March. In compliance with =
the daylight saving law in effect for -g
the duration of the war. |
y
“We must help feed the people of ;ji
Europe,” declared Charles Lathrop ij;
Pack, president of the national war $
garden commission, in an appeal to g
the home gardeners for larger results. S
“Will you have a part in this great fi
work at hand? Next to the sun the §
extra hour of daylight is the best §
value the victory gardener has. Will |
you meet the sun half way? Will you s
be up to take advantage of the health- |
giving garden work in the cool of the g
morning? Have the spade and the &
hoe handy and turn the clock ahead |
one hour on the last Saturday night §
in March and be ready for the biggest >•
home food producing year the country gj
ever saw.” -
According to the estimates by the
commission, the war garden crop of
1918 was worth $625,000,000. This
was an increase of 61 per cent over
that of 1917.
“Figures show that 5,285,000 home
food producing plots were planted,”
says the commission. "With twenty
six working days in each of the seven
months there are 182 extra hours of
time. If only one gardener worked
this extra hour of time in each plot it
will be seen that 961,870,000 of extra
time would be added to the country’s
wealth. Since there are 8,760 hours
in a year there is a staggering total
of 109,803 years of twenty-four-hour
days. In an eight-hour working day
the real advantage Is found by multi:
plying 109,803 by three, giving 329,409
working or eight-hour day years.”
