WESTMINSTER GLEE SINGERS
 HERE TONIGHT
Musical Organization Ar rives-Three Concerts
 Given at Palace

The Westminster Glee Singers, who are to appear in Juneau at the Palace in three concerts, tonight, tomorrow afternoon and night, ar- rived this morning on the ;team- CT Queen H. L. Faulkner, who heard the singers in Petersburg, said the concert was one of the best he had ever heard and so satisfied were the residents of the town that a return engagement is requested
 The Westminster Glee Singers ap- pear locally under the auspices of the Professional and Business Wo- mans club.
 Every number on their program is musical gem and is sung with an evident insight and apprecia- tion, which enhances the natural appeal Their recent Canadian tour was a remarkable success, public and press acclaiming them as the finest singing organization ever heard in the Dominion. No musical lover in Juneau should fail to hear this wonderful organi- zation. Their voices have a purity and freshness seldom heard on this continent, while h cir ensemble work and blending of voices is said to be well-night perfect. These world-famous singers have been the recipients of some very delight ful experiences in their various world tours; and they are antici- pating their first American tour as eagerly as is the American music-loving public Their di- rector, MT. Edward Branscombe, former tenor soloist at Westmins- ter Abbey, London, England is rated as one of England's finest musicians, choral conductor, n q lecturer on musical subjects. Their programs comprise practically every type of sacred and secular music, including madrigals, glees, part songs, solos with vocal accompani- ments, male quartets, etc Their sacred music is very typical of the English cathedral choir singing, at its very best The work of the choir has been marked, by music critics everywhere, for its perfec- tion of balance, tonal beauty, charm of expression, splendor of sorority, and absolute coordination, and pre- sentation, particularly in the un- accompanied features.
 Those who know something of the beauty of English cathedral singing will renew old and precious memories when they hear this great body of singers; while those who have not had the privilege of visiting England, will find parti- cular and fascinating charm in listening to the many beautiful se- lections on the program This program also includes many humor- ous selections.

$500 Protest Suits
Are Filed in Rome

That italian business is still in far
from healthy state would appear from
an issue of L'Ora Commercials, impor-
tant Roman financial weekly. This 48-
page review is devoted entirely to the
chronicling of protested promisSory
notes in Rome and its suburbs. The
name and address and the amount of
the note or notes of the signer whose
inability to pay brought the affair into
the courts is all that the review carries.
For the month of February alone this
list occupies three columns on 48 pages.
There are over $500 names of individ-
uals and corporations which failed to
pay sums due. Many will in due time be
declared bankrupts (the percentage Of
bankruptcies is very high throughout
italy, Others are paying the notes in
small installments-a policy followed by
mutual consent by numerous Romans
who find themselves unable to meet
notes falling due. When the new Fas-
cist penal code goes into effect it will
be possible to impose prison sentences
on debtors, but at present there is no
penalty beyond bankruptcy and the
conf1scation of assets. Though high
Fascist officials have frequently declared
that there are too many small businesses
in Italy and that a considerable num-
Der must go out of existence in order to
obtain greater efficiency, the present
policy seems to keep bankruptcies TO
the lowest possible minimum.

Letter From Vessel
In Ice Takes 4 Months

A modern romance, involving
painted ship on a painted ocean," is
revealed in letter that travelled across
the frigid wastes Of two continents-by
dog team over the tip of Northeastern
Asia.
It comes from the sailing ship Elisif
Of Brevik, Norway, which last Spring
set out for Alaska and other North
American regions Last Summer it left
st. Lawrence Bay for East Cape in
Boring Strait.
During its cruise the ship encountered
ice that gradually grew thicker, forcing
the vessel to zigzag its way through
crushing pack ice. Finally navigation
became impossible and the ship froze in
the ice.
Prepared for such an eventuality the
skipper had plenty OF provisions and on
October Is from his small radio set
wirelessed his intention to go into Win
ter quarters.
On March Z the letter came, dated
October ~. saying that Russian with
a dog team happened to pass the ship
on his way to Kolymsk on the Kolima
River and promised to take the letter,
which wandered along the frozen North.
All are well on board the Elisif and
patiently waiting for the ice to give
way, according to the letter.

limit naval strength. The Washington
provisions for battleships may be ey-
tended to cover cruisers. But this must
now be done by private bargain. not By
any League of Nations convention.
League authority in the matter of dis
armament or even Of limitation of ar
mament disappears with the present
meeting. Once you establish the doc
trine that each nation must be the sole
judge of its own needs in the matter of
security, no international body can have
further influence
1t would be unfair to charge this
unmistakable failure against the League
itself At most the League is only the
meeting place of the representatives
of various countries. 1t can act as a
convention only as these representa-
tives can agree. It is the barometer of
international agreement Since none of
the military powers is prepared 10 con-
slider any real limitation of its armed
strength. Geneva can no more than
register the prevailing state of mind.
And that it has done although one
must regret the inevitable effort to
SELL an accomplishment, when the
fact is that what exists is total
paralysis.
Europe Not Ready to Disarm.
Europe is not ready to dissrm. it
is not even ready to consider real
limitation of ornaments. That is the
fact. but does this fact mean that Eu-
rope is today planning new war? No.
what it more clearly means is that
Europe is still under the shadow of the
last war and still fearful of the next.
No nation is visibly preparing for ag-
greSsive war--unless 1t be Italy; but all
the great continental peoples believe
that you must have security before you
can have limitation. much less diSarma-
ment. And none feels that it has Sc
curity save through its military estab-
lishment.
Thus, despite all the camoufiage
spread from Geneva the best one can
say is that the whole question of dis
armament in Europe, even the more
precise problem of limitation, has been
The League has tried and
found 1t insoluble in all present time.
Despite all the pacts and conventions
and contracts which have been signed
and severally, confidence has
not been established. Everybody has
signed the Kellogg Pact, thus renounc-
ing war as policy, but the ratiflca-
ton of this solemn instrument has not
contributed to the disarmament Of even
a corporals guard or the scrapplng OF
a single torpedo boat. All in chorus an
armed world praises peace, while the
League of Nations measures its last dis
armament conference achievement
purely and simply in terms of words
spoken.

But for once such martial noises,
familiar enough to all the people who
live between Corinto on the west coast

were harmless salutes, fired in honor
