Mr. Holden, Division Superinten- dent at Valdez, spoke briefly. Dryden Talks On Rubber Mr. Dryden depicted conditions in the rubber industry which he described as “deplorable.” His own company, he said, was doing a narmal business when he left home. However, producers of crude rTubber tace chaos. Prices of that com- modity landed in New York range from seven to seven and one-half cents per pound while the cost of producing it is from 13 to 14 cents. The growers, therefore, face disas- ter unless improvement comes shortly. The automobile tire business is in equally bad condition. There are 90 companies engaged in this busi- ness in the United States and three of the larger companies alone could supply all of the needs of the country. Mail order houses, he add- ed, are selling 19 per cent of the tires used throughout the world. None of the manufacturers have made any money since 1921. A Word for Chicago Judge Brothers, who is a mem- ber of the Tllinois Circuit Court, and a native-born resident of Chi- cago, said it was a “much maligned city” adding, that Chicagoans, themselves, were largely responsi- ble for that condition of affairs. He was introduced by Post Presi- dent E. M. Goddard who said per- haps Judge Brothers could tell the Cnamber something about the Vol- stead Act. “I have nothing to do with that law, I am on the State bench and it is a Federal statute with which we have nothing to do. I do not understand it (the Volstead Act), he declared. He defended the good name of his city, saying that no such law- Jessness and viciousness existed as those not familiar with it might think. It has the same wholesome spirit, openmindedness and good- fellowship that exists in Alaska towns, he added. Lacks One Thing Chicago, in its tremendous surge to the front among cities, neglected to grow legislatively, he pointed out. “We were in Sitka the other day.

Mr. Miller, who is publishing an Alaska Directory, termed it Al- aska's best publicity medium, de- signed to dispell the popular con- ception of the Territory as the home of ice-bergs and polar bears. The publication, he added, would be issued about July 15. Publicity For Fair Pamphlets and a large-size pic- ture of Juneau will be furnished by the Chamber for an Alaska ex- hibit at the American Exposition at Atlantic City next month, it was announced today. All of the local Chambers have been asked for this kind of material by the All-Alaska Chamber. An unfavorable report has been rendered by the District Engineer’s office on the proposed improvement in Keku Strait, the Chamber was advised. Thirty days have been al- lowed in which additional informa- tion may be submitted to the U.S. Board of Engineers, Washington, D. C.

General Carmona said he knew the dictatorship could not maintain itself indefinitely by bayonets and {that the time rapidly was approach- ing when the government would peacefully hand over its responsi- bilities to a constitutional regime. However, the dictator also ob- served that it was no good trying to overthrow the government by | force. . Nor would the dictatorship sanc- tion restoration ofithe old parlia- ment, which, he said, had been an object of derision in the eyes of foreigners. General Carmona’s popularity was illustrated when all provincial governors and thousands of admir- ers came to Lisbon to salute himat the completion of his fifth year as president. Municipal elections announced for October will be followed by ad- ministrative elections and by March, next year, the machinery will be set in motion for the elec- tion of a new parliament. The dic- tatorship then is expected to bow to the verdict of the nation.

JOHNSON MADRID, June 10—The egcopomy sickle of General Manuel na, Spain’s new minister of war, has cut a wide swath in the Spanish army. . Its enlisted personnel has been slashed frem 160,000 to' 120,000, and its 27,000 majors, colonels and gen- erals have been mowed down until there are left less than 10,000. ' Saves $20,000,000 This, it is calculated, will save $20,000000 a year, but more far reaching, the general believes, will be three other results. | One is that the reduction in the number of officers will weed out the less competent commanders and allow expenditures for better duced force adequate to cope with any emergency. Another is that money previously wasted for military purposes can be diverted into public improvements and educational betterment. ‘The third is that high military officers who previously have been dominant in Spanish political af- fairs now will have to devote their energies to military matters in or- der to keep up with the more rigor- ous requirements for rank and pro- motion. New Modification Later these reforms may result in modification or abolition of com- pulsory military service. Twenty- five years ago seven years of ser- vice was obligatory. Then it was cut to three, to two, and finally, in 1930, King Alfonso decreéd that 12 months was sufficient, The question probably will be set- tled by the assembly when it frames a constitution for the new republic.

A considerable movement of lower grades of fish was also reported to him by brokers. The carryover is not considered large, and the pink stocks were not above normal for the time of the year. The Association showed a total of 596,726 cases of pinks and' 157,145 cases of chums unsold, which is said here to be about 50,- 000 cases less than those two va- rieties showed at the same time last year. I ‘With considerable activity report- ed in both grades since June 1, it is believe locally that not more than 500,000 cases will remain on hand when the first fish of the 1931 pack begin to make their ap- pearance on the Seattle market. This is at least 250,000 cases less than the canning inteestd had ex- pected to carry over at that time. Alaska reds were virtually ex- hausted. There were only 4756 talls, 18,703 flats and 52252 flats, totalling 75,711 cases unsold at the end of May. s Cohoes, silvers and medium reds aggregated 121,274 cases, considered unusually light to holdover. Puget Sound sockeyes were also depleted, the total carryover being 33,733 cases of all packages. Chin- ooks or Kings in all grades aggre- gated 96,711 cases. — e —— National Treasury Deficit Over Billion WASHINGTON, D. C., June 18. —The National treasury deficit yes- terday stood at $1,009,903,063. This is up to about $8,000,000 from the last statement despite the early tabulations of the second quarter income tax payments. The deficit was reduced by $82,- 662,000 by the income tax pay- ments and foreign debt collections, but the “red ink” figure was still in excess of the billion-dollar mark.
