Judge Simon Hellenthal, District Judge of the ‘Third Judicial Division and former well known at- torney and civic leader of Juneau has been busy greeting old friends since his arrival on the Victoria Friday night Juneau should be proud of their former fellow citizen who has made such a splendid record in his new position. In addition to the fine newspaper comment Judge Hellenthal has received in his Division, (one of the editorials from Anchorage was recently reprinted in The Empire) many splendid reports have been heard personally from residents of the Third Division, relative to the efficient manner in which Judge Hellenthal is handling his official positon, and also the many personal friends he is making as a resident of that Division. Along with many others in Juneau The Empire congratulates Judge Hellenthal on his good work and expresses the hope that his visit, although | Valley where the Tennessee THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY, FEB. 25 resenting France, and the British delegation.

This so outraged the British naval representative that the mecting was adjourned, both delegations nursing injured national pride This is at the bottom of many of the rivalries in present- day Europe. Nowhere has it been more in evidence than in Franco-Italian relations. A Remarkable Story.

He saw to it that he had| back logs of oak or post locust that would hold fije ' overnight. In the morning, from the glowing coals, | the fire was revived. He asked that in the new house just such an| open fireplace as there was in the old cabin should be constructed. This has been done, time comes to move, this descendant of the fire worshippers will himself carry the living fire from | the old house to the new. Thus the continuity of that sfire will broken.

To the old man that fire, started by his father and mother before he was born, was a part of his life. Probably it §poke to him. As the flames crackled in the winter | evenings, they were pleasant voices telling him of | the happy pasi or predicting delightful things to come. He remembered his pioneer mother as she cooked the meals on the fire, his wife who did the same thing, and his children who had gathered about it.

(New York Herald Tribune.) The story that France accepts the ‘“challenge” of Italy to build a new 35000-ton capital ship for) her navy is open to many misconstructions. It does nct imply new rivalry between France and Italy. | Ner dces it mark a change in French pol Rather it is a reaffirmation in a -actical manner of | France's often announced po! of having a navy larger than Italy’s, despite the fac: tha e Wa inglen trcaty ¢ France and TItaly equality of naval ength. Thera is little’ doubt that France fears Germany more than sh2 fears Italy,; and that any eniargement of her fleet is directed primarily against Germany. | But the mastery of the Mediterranean still rc-. mains to plague not only the two Latin powers but | Great Britain. The Italian theory.is that of “Mare Nostrum”—"Our Sea." Inasmuch as the Italian pen-| insula virtually bisects the Mediterranean, Italy regards herself as the leading Mediterranean power,| and control of the Mediterranean as munspensablel to her ultimate development. France, on the other | hand, takes the view that because of her extensive; African colonies opposite France, and her (‘m])h‘ew scattered throughout the East, control of the Medi- terranean is essential to the success of French policy. But inasmuch as France faces not only on the Mediterranean but also on the Atlantic and the English Channel, she feels that her navy must be big enough to dominate the Mediterranean, and at the same time to cssure the protection of her west- ern and northern coasts. This is why she insists that she needs a.much larger navy than Italy, and why the French have always been so resentful of | the terms of the Washington treaty, giving Italy equality with France. In the mean time, while France and Ttaly talk about the importance of the Mediterranean to them, Great Britain proceeds unostentatiously, but none the less effectively, to carry on her tradi- tional policy of actually and completely dominating that sca. With Gibraltar at one end and Suez at the other, and Malta in the narrow passage be- twen Sicily and Northern Africa, the British are the master of the Medterranean. This mastery is indispensable to them so long as they hold India and so long as their relations with the Orient and much of Africa continue as at present. The Medi- terranean is one of the links in the empire. Great Britain can not and will not suffer the control of | this sea to be threatened by a potentially hecstile power. Hence Britains determination to maintain a navy so much bigger than that of France and Italy put together. The resulting rivalries are perhaps best illus- trated in a verbal exchange that occurred at the theoretical | knoY | lieut interesting book on the technique of revolution, * not only a form of government, it is also the complete form cof jealousy in all its aspects; polit moral and intellectual.” The latest shifting of | Cabinet posts in the Italian Government once mc ore | illustrates the accuracy of Signor Malapa: | servation, based incidentally on a first-h. edge of the Fascist regime.
