ALASKA FISH BEING /. = USED FOR FIILETINGi

 Ultimately the Cordova Packing Company will handle fresh and frozen fish of all kinds. but now they are in the market for halibut and salmon trout, which will be paid for at current prices.
 The location formerly occupied by the City Meat Market will be used for the freezing and distrib- uting center. Arrangements are now being made to make the nec- essary changes to convert this to an adequate freezing and storing plant.

people likewise that the world can
continue to labor in undisturbed
peace.
The commitments of these last
conferences will most likely be OBJ
served, except that future years will
see one major problem confronting
European chancellories; that is, the
union of Austria with Germany. AL
though France resolutely discour-
ages any attempts toward this un-
ion, it is frequently observed
throughout the press that this un-
ion is inevitable, if the Central
European nations are to be expected
to live in any state of solvency or
happiness.
With the League Of Nations func-
tioning, there is no reason why the
union of Austria to Germany should
be the cause of another conflict.
France and Italy certainly will de-
lay this event, but is seems doubt
full if they can stem the tide of ra-
cial sympathy which flows between
Germany and Austria.
Perhaps Germany will continue
to agitate against the Versailles
Treaty. Perhaps the Young Plan
payments will be made grudgingly.
but with the present solidarity a.
mong the Allies, there seems to be.
little likelihood of any warlike en-
terprise here In Europe. Alliances
and treaties of friendship have been
signed on every hand. France has
them with Yugoslavia, Poland, Rou-
mania and others. Italy has fewer
treaties of amity, but is slowly
working up diplomatic alliances
which may eventually preclude any
fight with France. The Briand-Kel-
logg pact also embraces most of the
important nations, and thus the
United States, although not tech
nically involved in European affairs,
has tremendous moral interest to
uphold, in keeping peace establish
