According to an Associated Press report, all arms and ammunition in Ireland had been called in by the British Government and it was then a “criminal offense for anyone to be in possession, however, in- nocently, of such articles.” No permits were to be granted. “There is not one Federal Prohibition Enforcement Officer in Alaska,” Donald A. McDonald, Federal Prohibition Director for the Pacific North- west, said in Tacoma on his retwrn from a personal inspection trip through the Territory. McDonald indicated that something would be done about it. Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., made a strong appeal for broad measures of self-government for Alaska in his annual report just made public. Ketchikan American Legion announced adoption of resolutions calling on the Territory to give a bonus to its soldiers.
