XXXIV., NO. 5126, ; JUNEAU, “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” HE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE ALASKA, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1929, * MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRE YELLOW BIRD W DAWES ARRIVES IN ENGLAND; 1S GIVENWELCOME American Ambassador Reaches Southampton —Declines Interviews TO HOLD CONFERENCE WITH NEW PREMIER Speculation Is Rife in Brit- ish Political Circles Over Hurry SOUTHAMPTON, England, June 14. — Charles G. Dawes, United States Ambassador to England, ac- cepted the welcome of this city on| arriving but declined to be inter-| ved. He expressed delight over coming to England but made no disclosure of any message he might be bearing from President Hoover to Premier Ramsay MacDonald. MUCH SPECULATION ABOUT CONFERENCE LONDON, June 14—The meeting in Scotland on Sunday between Ambassador Dawes and Premier MacDonald continued to absorb ral circles in speculation as to gnificance. There is a note of wonder at the various unconventional aspects, of \ Dawes’ plans and the rush he is x| ting which is hardly covered by Ambassadorial precedent in this country. The movements of Dawes has given rise to increasing wonder as to what is the special urgency in the background. "Thg Foreign Office seems to have heen ignored entirely in arfnge- ments which apparently have been conducted with the utmost inform- ality by wireless between Dawes, aboard the Olympic, and the Unit- ed States Embassy. ——————— MINORITIES WIN FIGHT League of Nations Council Acts in Favor of Small- er Countries MADRID, June 14—Most of the questions of minorities, which had threatened trouble, have been set aside in the League of Nations Council. Delegates yesterday unanimously voted a resolution granting the mi- nority peoples better representation on the Minority Committee of the League and insuring a more careful scrutiny of their petitions. The reason generally given for the action was the possibility that the new Labor Government of Ene- land would exercise pressure in fa- vor of peace on every occasion. ——— By the application of certain chemicals, coal is being made dust- Jess not only at the time of deliv- . ery but it remains so after smmgel in the bins. Haines Speeding South Today From Ketchikan Raymond Haines, who left Juneau yesterday after- noon at 1:22 o'clock in his open outboard motored 15- foot boat for Seattle, to beat stcamer time of 60 hours to the Washington city, reach- ed Ketchikan at 7:46 o'clock this morning and left at 8:15 o'clock. Bad weather was encountered between Petersburg and Ketchikan. On his first attempt, Haines left Juneau shortly after 2 o'clock June 1, reached Ket- chikan the next morning at 6:30 o'clock and left at 7:30 o'clock. Two hours out of Ketchikan he broke his crank shaft and was towed back to Ketchikan, coming to Juneau to make his sec- ond attempt. Haines expects to make stops at Butedale, Alert Bay and Nanaimo, in British Co- lumbia, for oil, remaining just long enough to refuel and speed on. He is travel- ing day and night, taking no sleep. SEA FREEDOM CHIEF 1SSUE OF 2 NATIONS Important Problem. Will Be Discussed Between Hoover, MacDonald CONTROVEKSY ‘HAS BEEN ON SINCE WAR/ Other Subjeets to Be Talk- ed Over if Premier Comes to U. S. WASHINGTON, June 14 — The question of the freedom of the seas will probably be the most import- ant problem which British Pre- mier Ramsay MacDonald will dis- cuss ‘with President Hoover if the former carries out his reported plan to visit the United States. This question has been the sub- ject of discussions in the Senate and in diplomatic gatherings in Europe ever since the war. The discussions have centered on agreements between the United States and Great Britain to a guarantee of the freedom of the seas to each hemisphere. The problem is closely related with naval reductions which Presi- dent Hoover and Premier MacDon~ ald will also discuss. 4 —e WILL HONOR AMERICAN POLES ROWNO, Poland, June 14—A monument to the American Poles who weré killed in the Polish-Bol- shevik war of 1919-1920, is to be erected here and dedicated this summer when Americans are ex- pected to visit Poland in connection with the Poznan exposition. LEREY WORLD ON NEW ECONOMIC BASIS SINCE WAR, FINANCIERS DECLARE ——e By J. E. SHARKEY (A. P. Correspondent) GENEVA, June 14—Eminent eco- nomic and financial experts, recent- ly in session at Geneva, stressed their belief that 10 years after the great war the world’s economic or- ganization is widely different from that which existed before the war. They assembled, as members of the league’s economic consultative committee which was created by the international economic confer-| cnce of 1927. Taking a rather favorable view of post-war developments, the ex- perts found that the aggregate pro- duction of wealth during the last decade had increased more rapidly than has the world’s population and the wealth per head is now greater than before the war. In 1928 they found productive ac- tivity equal or ahead of the pre- ceding year. Manufacturing made headway in rationalization, inter- national trade increased in volume and value and the economic life of the world enjoyed the benefit of greater monetary stability. But the process of consolidation has been neither uniform nor easy, says the report framed by the ex- perts. In many directions they found no advance and even retro- gression during the past year. The year's record of uneglploymem, in- dicated that the . réadaptation of production to demand in a number of industries is still far from hav- ing been completed. Over-production was found in several industries, others suffered from a decline in demand and in others the process of rationalization had reduced the labor requirements. The report stated that depression in the sugar industry continued, the fight for coal markets became more intense, and the situation in timber and some sections of cotton pro- duction was unsatisfactory. The record of the world’s produc- tive activity in 1928 shows some- what different results for agricul- ture and for industry. Agricultural production, as a whole, increased appreciably, but unevenly; owing to the downward trend of prices, however, it is hard to estimate whether there occurred any sub- stantial increase in the value of the crops. The experts’ data on industrial production conveyed the impres- during recent years, has terded to slacken. ARy £ R San Diego resulted in the arrest man.
