Eviction Threat for Alaska Colony Farmers Under New Deal Plan
About 140 of the distressed colonists in the Manasuka valley, Alaska, funded by a rural rehabilitation group, face eviction after December 1 due to unpaid debts averaging 1500 dollars. The colony, begun in 1935 for Midwest refugees, supplies the army with some produce, but annual income remains low, and consolidation into larger farms is proposed to boost output for national defense. The colonists have retained an attorney and appeal to Washington.

He contrasts Nazi method with Mussolini's approach, noting German persistence and planning.
