RIO JANEIRO, July 8.-American exporters to South Americas east coast will be on an equal footing with European rivals in the matter of airmail service for some time to come, in the opinion of experts here.
 This notwithstanding the flight of Jean Mermoz from San Luis, Senegal, to Natal, Brazil, which brought mail to Rio Janeiro in less than three days from Paris.
 The time from New York is seven days, but this is sure while the Af- rica-Brazil hop can be made only under favorable conditions.
 This was brought out when Mer- moz tried his return from Natal to Dakar the second week in June. For three days he failed to get into the air from the Potengy river at Natal. There was no wind and the plane could not lift it's three occu-

TUNIS CENTERS
 FRANCO-ITALIAN
 WORLD RIVALRY

TUNIS, July 8.-Franco-I Italian rivalries over naval parity, the peace treaties, Italian rights in Tunis or any other subject arouse their loudest echoes here, Tunis being the key to most of the diff ferences between the two Latin powers.
 Naval parity is an issue here be- cause the French protectorate of Turis is opposite Italy on the Medi- terranean and it adjoins the Ital- ian Tripolitaine.
 What touches Tunis even more directly are the two more specific subjects in discussion, Italy's insis- tence upon maintenance of Ital- ians' particular status here ana Italy's demand for more territory in Africa.
 Date From World War
 These last two things date from the World War. In 1915, in ex- change for Italian entrance into the conflict, France and England prom ised readjustments of northern Ital- ian boundaries and an extension of her African possessions. The treaty of Versailles and Gabriel d'Annunzio's picturesque seizure of Plume settled the Italian boundary question.
 At the same time both France and England gave Italy additions to her African possessions. On the south of Libya and along the west

AN ALASKAN'S VIEWPOINT

This thing of making the buyer equally guilty with the seller of bootleg ikker will surely result III lot of complications For thing it will put that guy who al ways takes one but buys back in uneasy frame of mind How about him, anyway?
 Won't the moocher be guilty of something besides being called tightwad? Maybe the law will be good thing if they figure out to frame something on him.
 And how about the under-cover man, better known as dirty stoo-pigeon who goes around buying to get evidence? Be tough if the government has to pinch its own agents. Then supposng they smell fruy aroma on mans breath Will that give them grounds to take out search warrant and explore him with stomach pump?

THE ALASKAN LABOR PROBLEM

While th. Pacific Coast States wrestling with the unemployment problem and seeking ways and means for the creation of relief from what is described as the conditions within 15 years it is remarkable that 1t never occurred to anyone that Alaska offers splendid outlet for many unemployed during the fishing season.
 Based upon estimates that while not conclusive, of fer basis for computation fully 10000 American citi- zens could be placed in Alaska every spring.
 When the nation needs soldiers for defense 1t is the citizen who fills the ranks of the armies therefore they have prior right to all benefits accrung in the form of labor.
