JUNEAU, ALASKA, TUESDAY, MARCH 26, BERLIN CONCLAVE RESULT UNCERTAIN SIZE OF GERMAN MILITARY FORGE SEEMS STICKLER Simon Rehrning to Eng- land with Report for British Cabinet 'HITLER PASSES BUCK BACK TO WAR ALLIES Perpetuahon of Present Austrian Regime Frown- ed on by Dictator BERLIN, March 26.—The Anglo- German conversations ended today with a statement made public that President Adolf Hitler had not giv- en definite indication how large a military force Germany intends to build. Hitler turned back the arms problem to Germany's World War allied enemies, German officials said. Regarding the League of Nations Hitler repeated the German argu- ment that all matters must be set- tled for Germany before he would consider re-entering the League. ‘The question of a larger German navy was kept in the background. Hitler suggested a mnon-aggression pact for Austria but refused to enter any non-interference agree- ment which would mean perpetua- tion of the present Austrian re- gime. Sir John Simon, British Foreign Secretary, returns to London to- morrow to tell the British cabinet what Hitler will do. PLANS MADE T0 KEEPU. S, OUT OF FUTURE WAR Virtual Embargo on Pass- ports Is Contemplated by Administration Leaders — WASHINGTON, March 26.—Pro- posals to avoid American entry in any future war claimed the in- creasing attention among legislators today.

One Senator, who refused to be quoted by name, said there is a possibility of forbidding shipments of munitions to all warring nations. This is now being considered but Administration leaders are dubious about the success of such a wide- spread embargo. i RADIOWENTO TAKE STAND IN TANKER STRIKE Telegraphermay Be Call- ed Off All Ships— Threat Made SEATTLE, March 26.—Ship op- erators are awaiting developments before using nonunion men on the oil tankers but the Radio Tele- graphists Association is preparing to call members off all ships un- less the strike of the tankers is WEALTHY MINING] MAN FREEZES T0 DEATH IN STORM Succumbs to Elements After Plane Is Forced Down, Wilderness MONTREAL, March 26—Stanley Siscoe, lthy Montreal mining executive, was frozen to death, ac- cording to word received here to- day.

They've seen the silver-haired blue-eyed, genial little man, whom not even the President of the Unit- ed Statei can remove from office, win out too often before in simi- lar encounters with the “big shots.” The row with Swanson “will be ' just another notch in McCarl's desk top,” is the way one describes it.} Other “notches” to be found there | include: ‘ General John J.

Factors contributing to the high price were the sale of a million dollars in United States gold to Mexico in exchange for silver, ab- sence from the world market of a floating supply of the white met- al and current wide discussion of inflation possibilities in America. Not since 1928 has silver been so high.
