If successful in this enterprise, Mussolini's next move will be to absorb ' Austria and that attempt will bring Germany into war. As the - European 'rations are now botind" together ,by innumerable pacts and treaties, a general war will be inevitable.” Impotent Policy The former Labor Part; - Jeader at- tacked what 1ie termed thé Imp8ternit policy of- Great Britain and France as' “playing into. the hands of 1taly.” Bnowtlen further declared that| Great Britain' is afraid to take a strong line with Italy and predict- ed the present Paris:tri-power con- ference will end in *‘talk and noth- l ing else.” Snowden called upon the United 8tates to bring its influence to benr\ to help prevent a catastrophic clash of nations, asserting the United Btates bears and is in honor bound to responsibility by the Briand- Kellogg Pact.

The ‘Mayor reported that the rep~ resentative, after an examination of the blueberry growing in this vicin- | ity, said that his company would take all the canned blueberries this section could suppiy. He told the {Mayor that the company’s present supply of blucberries from Ncw Hampshire was inadequate. Maycr Thanked President R. E. Robertson of the Chamber thanked the Mayor for his comments, and said that im- mediate steps would be taken to interest the Sussman-Wormser Company as well as the Great At- lantic and Pacific Company in the possibility of a Juneau blusherry canning plant. Another interesting business item was a telegraphic message sent the Chamber by Alaska Delegate An- thony J. Dimond relative to includ- jing a Juneau small boat harbor survey in the General Rivers and Harbors Bill now before Congress. , The Delegate said the omission of {Juneau from the list of Alaskan communities included «in ‘the bill which he sent out in a recent news the measure.

Go Places—Do Things Company F is an up-to-the-min- ute company and belicves ine going places and doing things. The com- pany returned to Chilkoot Barracks Tuesday from a 90-mile march into the rugged country north of the army post. On that march they | successfully executed the difffeult | feat of crossing the deep and swift Klehina River with full field equip- meont. According to Capt. Tharp the Klehina River has caused the doath of many sturdy prospectors who attempted to effect a crossing. The water was ice cold and the | weather chilly ‘and rainy, Capt. Tharp said, at the time the com- pany swam the Kilehina. Many of the men were in the water ‘more than half an hour but they march- ed six miles to camp, soaking wet. after accomplishing the difficult feat. The manner in which the task was performed is an example of the training, courage, fortitude and the morale of this organization, and of the Regu! Army of the United States. lar Higliest Rating At the last, inspection made by Gen. Paul B. Malone, at Chilkoot Barracks, Ccmpany F attained the highest rating for military tactics and appearance.
