THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE VOL. XLV., NO. 6818. GREAT BRITAIN NAT. DEFENSES Conservatives to Make' Fight at Once for Bet- ter Protection GERMANY’S REARMING IS CAUSE FOR ACTION| Evidence Said—lo Be Ready to Prove Treaty Be- ing Violated LONDON, Nov. 28.—British Con- cervatives are prepared to fight to increase Great Britain's National Defense because of Germany's ‘‘re- armament.” Winston Churchill, backed by other Conservatives, plans to in- troduce an amendment making improvement in the Air Defense cspecially. Supporters of the motion con- tend that Germany is violating treaty obligations by rearming rap- idly. The backers of the better National Defense say they are able to produce evidence -in the sup-|’ port of their claims that Germany is developing great strength at arms. It is also said that Sir John Simon, Foreign Secretary, will make a Government statement on the subject in the House of Commons very shortly. The sit- uation overshadowed temporarily the lagging tri-power naval nego- tiations. Confidence is expressed in Amer- ican quarters that France and Italy will not accede to Japan's request they join her in denounc- ing the Washington Naval Treaty. e e BETTER HOME LEADERS MEET AT NOON HOUR Progress Reported in Cam- paign Now Being Con- ducted Here Committee chairmen and com- mitieemen of the Jupeau Better Homes Campaign met at lunch- eon today at Bailey’s Cafe.

Mr. Lucas further reported that many questions people ask or are doubtful about in the program have been satisfactorily explained through calls at the FHA offices, and urges all interested in any kind of improvement to their prop- erty, large or small, to call at the FHA office in the Shattuck Build- ing and feel free to ask any ques- tions they may_be in doubt about. - eee Mrs. Marie Drake, Assistant in the office of the Territorial Com- missioner of Education, returned to the office this morning after a week’s leave of absence.
