Thus the attempt to block Japan petered out, partly because a powerful faction of a powerful po- litical party adhered to its tradi- tional isolation. Had Stimson re- ceived support from his owm party leaders, war with Japan might have been avoided. STIMSON VISITS FDR In 1933, a week or two after Stimson had left the State Depart- ment and FDR was in the White House, he came down from New York to see the new president of the United States, told him in de- tail about his efforts to block Japan. Stimson especially asked Roosevelt that he not recognize Japan’s conquest of Manchuria. “I won't even discuss it with the so-and-sos,” replied Roosevelt. | That was the beginning of a | mutual respect which eventually | brought Stimson into the Roosevelt | Cabinet. As he heard FDR’s speech, pro- posing a world council on which the American representative could pledge U.

HAIR STYLED by Experts WE SPECIALIZE in EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA 3 OCTOBER 31 { 20 YEARS AGO 7' empire OCTOBER 31, 1924 Capt. John E. Hughes, appointed as Special Agent of the Alaska Railroad to investigate and report upon the practicability of a coloniza- tion scheme for the settlement of the farming lands along the line of the Alaska Railroad, was enroute to Washington on the Northwestern to sub- mit a report. " Hanzen Fuller, employee in the Stroller’s Weekly plant, stranded on Mt. Juneau the previous night, was rescued by a party composed of George Jorgenson, R. R. Brown, John Krugness and Arthur Kunas, Except for several bruises and scratches from devil clubs, he was none the worse for his experience. Attorney H. L. Faulkner was a passenger aboard the Estebeth sailing the previous night for Sitka. Miss Marie Falldine, Red Cross Nurse, arrived in Skagway on the Admiral Rogers and was making her annual school inspection trip. In the shorthand class at the Juneau High School, Ruth Krugness and Virginia Metzgar were the two fastest readers in the class, Virginia breaking the record by reading 306 words a minute. The hallowe'en spirit was prevailing through the grade school, with almost all of the rooms being artistically decorated. Mrs. Tilden’s room was to give a party this day for Miss Bourgett’s class and at the party the second grade students were to dramatize the story of “Little Jacko's Lantern.” Carol Robertson was to take the leading part. The Camp Fire Girls had a very delightful hallowe’en party at the home of Mrs. Redlingshafer this day. ‘Weather report: High, 43; low, 43; partly cloudy.
