ALIEN ENEMY
PROPAGANDA
The New York Times, the foremost
newspaper in the United States,
famed for its loyalty to Americanism
and American lnstituions, sent a
letter to the governors of the states
in the union and in outlying posses
sions, asking for an opinion or a state
ment with respect to alien enemy
propaganda or anti-American senti
ment in the respective states and
teritories.
To this request, Governor Thomas
Riggs, jr., of Alaska, replies as fol
lows:
To the editor of the New York Times:
I am in receipt of your request for
a few paragraphs on the proposed
Americanizing of foreigners and illit
erates. I take pleasure in forwarding
you herewith a brief statement:
For years we have been blind. The
United States is not the melting pot
we thought it. Unless we can assimi
late our foreign-born population and
teach them American ideals, the
progress curve of the greatest of all
republics will have passed the peak
and will gradually descend until the
zero is reached once more. Like the
old Romans the citizens of the United
States have been getting lazy. Like
the Romans we have depended too
oiuch on foreign illiterates to perform
our common labor, and unless we
make a united and determined effort
to bring our immigrants up to our
own level, we will be overwhelmed by
ignorant hordes who wish only to tear
down and destroy.
Even here in far-away Alaska the
Hun is working and plotting. His
propaganda is found in every camp.
We must match propaganda with pro
paganda and wits with wits. You and
I will help pack a hall to hear Secre
tary Lane speak an his great plans
and know he is right, but around the
corner a Bolshevik will be standing
on a soap box preaching to and im
pressing the very people we want to
reach. To win this war we had to
adopt many Hunnish methods. We
should now adopt the forum of the
Hun and put thereon earnest and
loyal men who shall preach the truth.
Just because the war is over is no
reason that we should resume our
Rip Van Winkle sleep. Rip slept for
twenty years. If we sleep again for
twenty years—God lj,elp us.
THOMAS RIGGS, Jr.
Governor, Territory of Alasak.

SURELY in our large

Kodaks, ranging in
price from $2.00
up to $76.25, there
should be one that
would just suit.
REMEMBER, just
having a Kodak does jj
not insure good pic- §|
tures. You should
have the correct start jj
as well as being in
structed from time
to time on how to
make good pictures. 1
