I ISLANDS WANT
FREEDOM FROM
MUN CONTROL
SYDNKY. Australia. Jan 3ft (by
Associated Press). In not a single
island in the Pacific formerly ruled
by Germany do the natives desire a
return of the German domination,
says Thomas J. McMahon, an Austra
; lian authority on the affairs of the
Pacific islands, who has recently re
turned from an extended tour in the
Central Pacific. Me visited Nauru
island and the Marshall group, which
were German possessions before the
war.
Wherever he traveled among the
former German colonies in the* Pa
I rifi‘*. Mr. McMahon said, he found
that the Germans had made no effort
j properly to develop commercial ad
vantages. but had in several cases de
voted themselves to the strategic op
portunities.
“The natives of Nauru have asked
the government to preserve them from
a re establishment of German govern
ment there.” said Mr. McMahon.
“In the Marshall islands,” said Mr.
McMahon. I was much impressed by
Japanese industry. What they have
already done in the Marshalls will
bring nothing but praise from every
body. The Germans shamefully ne
| glected the Marshall islanders, as
I they did all other natives, but during
the past three or four years the Jap
anese have been systematically build
ing tip the people, educating them and
making of them a very creditable
iace
Mr McMahon said in speaking of
I the relation of the Central Pacific
islands to Australia that “they were
the half-way house to San Francisco
and to Japan."
MANY ALIEN
SOLDIERS ARE
NATURALIZED
When our armies return from the
war there will be in the ranks of the
victorious soldiers thousands of new
citizens of the United States. This
country will spell "home" to tens
of thousands of men who were aliens
when they sailed away to light for
the country that is now their own,
for in the midst of battles the bureau
of naturalization of the department of
labor lias reached out to extend the
privileges of citizenship to all for
eigners who were defending the prin
ciples of liberty under the Stars and
Stripes.
Louis Weinberger, sent across seas
j to carry out the government's natural
ization program, returned recently
after three months of hard work, for
it was his duty to follow up 50.000
of the 150,000 naturalization blanks
especially prepared for the war emer
gency.
According to the plan worked out
by the bureau, in conference with the
judge advocate general, a scheme to
expedite the usual process of natural
ization was made practicable and le
gal The required formalities were
reduced to the simplest terms. The
preliminary declaration or intention
was waived and It was made possible
to Issue the final papers without any
lapse of time. The applicant could
execute one paper in duplicate, to
gether with affidavits, and take the
oath of allegiance all in short order.
The tirst serious problem was to
reach all the aliens In the distribu
tion of the blanks, but this was soon
solved by sending the papers through
brigade headquarters and thus reach
ing the company units. In many cases
extra blanks were sent for, and so far
exact number actually used has not
been obtained. Although naturaliza
tion was not In any way compulsory,
It was soon evident thut there was a
general desire to attain citizenship
wherever foreigners were serving,
and thut was everywhere in the ar
mies of the United States. Among
the applications nourly every nation
on the globe was represented. Be
cause of the haste with which so muuy
soldiers were made citizens, however,
it must not be supposed that the bars
requirlnig that men accepted by the
nation should be worthy of enroll
ment as Americans were let down.
Owing to military regulations, each
man's history had be-sn carefully tab
ulated and then the men who were
■nuking the world safe for democracy
belonged to u class that was us a
whole trustworthy.
One of the Interesting phases of
this wholesale naturalization enter
prise bad to do with alien enemies.
Even these who could prove their loy
alty were entitled to citizenship, and
."4
a number of Austrians and Germans
took the oath of allegiance to the flag
Owing to the efficiency of the bureau
of military Intelligence there was III
tie danger of mistakes in the admis
sion of undesirable men.
STATEWIDE
IRRIGATION
FOR OREGON
PORTLAND. Jan. 30 (by Associated
Press).—Plans for a state-wide irri
gallon program in Oregon are well un I
der way. Lands In this state suscep
tible to irrigation total 3.500,000 acres,
with measured water facilities for the
Irrigation of at least four million acres.
Irrigation was begun in Oregon many
years ago, but owing to lack of gov
eminent aid. so land owners claim,
only about one million acres has been
brought under irrigation.
The great projects are located in
Kastern and Central Oregon, as far
south as the California lino. In the
Willamette valley, one of the most
productive on the Pacific coast, there
are about two million acres which may
be irrigated for Intensive farming pur
poses, surveys have shown.
What irrigation has been done In
the state has been conducted under
the reclamation act, the Carey act and
I>y private Interests. Several of the
latter have received government aid
Much attention has been paid by pri
vate interests to reclamation by irri
gallon, at the cost of many millions
of dollars. Outside the Willamette
valley reclamation by drainage has
been almost a negligible quantity thus
far. There are several million am ,
of swamp and low lands snseeptihle
to such development, experts have ile
dared.
The total water supply from the
streams of Kastern and Central Ore
gon capable of utilization for irriga
tion is 6,677,00b acre-feet, sufficient to
bring under product three million
acres of rich desert land. The total
acre-feet of water available for irri
gallon In Western Oregon is 2..'!60,0<I0,
enough for one million acres.
Oregon's present population Is esti
mated at one million. If all the land
in the state capable of irrigation were
brought Into production It would sup
port a population of twenty-five mil
lions, according to irrigation experts.
