ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT CF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. JUNEAU’S AIRPORT—PART OF A ROUND-THE-WORLD SYSTEM. Actual work on the Pacific Alaska Airway’'s Juneau airport started Thursday. When finished it will be a major landing field that will be a thing of pride in Juneau and an important link in the great service this corporation proposes to give Alaska. In the course of time it will be a part of a round the world ajr course. The Pacific Alaska Airways, which recently acquired the equipment and business of the Alaska Southern Airways which had operated successfully in Southeast Alaska for three years, has not halted its forward march since it first came to the Terri- tory and took over the company that was then the largest in the North. The Pacific Alaska Airways has acquired other properties in Interior Alaska and at the Westward, operating from headquarters which it has maintained in Fairbanks for several years. Much of the credit for the success of the forward marching company goes to Lyman S. Peck who did the pioneer work for the organization in Alaska. | Mr. Peck is convinced of the importance of Alaska in world aviation, and of the importance of Juneau of an Alaska airport. Plans of the company are far-reaching and only time—and a not too distant time—will reveal their extent. POSTMASTER WILE. The appointment of Albert Wile to be Post- master at Juneau will give satisfaction to the people of this section. MaWile:ds an-Alaskan. pioneer and a man of wide acquaitance and business experience. His reputation for integrity, industry and efficiency is well established. He is a good mixer, makes friends readily and holds them. He has had ex- perience in post office work at Iditarod and Ketchi- kan, and in both places he earned the respect and confidence of patrons. A well-known Post Office Department official who has visited Alaska many, times once said he was “the best Postmaster in Alaska.” That was when he was. officiating in the Ketchikan post office. Juneau and Mr. Wile are both entitled to congratulations. Now listen to the alumni baying for the blood of the losing coaches.—(Cleveland Plain Dealer.)

The present controversy vetween Hungary and | Yugoslavia, now somewhat quieted, centers about t.ho| asylum allegedly granted by Hungary to terrorists| from Yugoslavia. This fued was heightened by the | Yugoslav policy of deporting Hungarian residents. But‘ |back of the immediate causes of the breach is the \long~standmg question of treaty revision.

Her whole for-“stubbom warfare was being pressed | obtaining of territorial justice by one means or a ’nnother | six months, in advance, iexgn policy and national objectives center about the on both sides. It was stated that virtual seige between both lines has set in. According to the Brit- | There is a great deal of truth in Hungary's|ish War Office, the Germans were contention that she was deprived unfairly of terri- |beginning to lose their grip on tories. A large area was given to Rumania, the"-h \populauon of which is almost wholly Magyar. siderable areas of Yugoslavia were peopled by Hun-r ‘xarmns in 1919. Ttaly alone has been consistently favorable to the revision of the peace treaties, to |the end that Hungary's demands might be met, at Icasl in part. The Little Entente, a common foreign policy, |the part of Hungary as existence. Two of its members, Yugoslavia and | Rumania, stand to lose territories if the treaties |are revised. Consequently, the three Little Entente nations have repeatedly threatened, singly and| as a group, to declare war if any attempt was | made to modify the frontiers. ! | If the question is left to Yugoslavia and Hun- gary, there is no likelihood of treaty revision, and | relatively little danger to the peace of Europe. It is the policies of Italy and France that will deter- | mine the issue. They have it in their power, prob- ably, to bring about gradual revision of the treaties by legal means. If, on the other hand, Italy cham-? pions Hungary and France Yugoslavia, the result might conceivably be to plunge the Continent into | another conflict. | \go now a close-knit bloc wiu\. regards this demand on a direct threat to its Equalization of Rates to Alaska Promised. (Tacoma Progress.) Although for years Tacoma shippers have en- | joyed generally, the same freight rates to Alaska | points as applied from Seattle, the charges on | perishable products, fresh fruits, vegetables, frozen | meats and packing house products, have applied to points on the Alaska Railorad only from Seattle. Tacoma shipments have been assessed the local rate from Tacoma to Seattle. Tacoma Chamber of Commerce, through its Traf- fic Bureau, requested Col. O. F. Ohlson, General Manager of the Alaska Railroad, and L. W. Baker, Traffic Manager, Alaska Steamship Company, to correct their tariff making the rates on perishable commodities the same from both points. Advice has just been received from Col. Ohlson that the cor- rection will be made in the near future. | The Nazis have arrested a barber in a campaign against gossip and scandalmongering.
