 Transcending all other items in the collection is the enormous mitre-like crown worn by Catherine The Great. It is larger than a mans derby hat, contains 5000 dia- monds weighing 5000 carats and is valued by the Soviet government at $52,000000.
 Next in value comes the imperial sceptre. It is priced at $32,000, 900 and contains the Orloff diamond, weighing 195 carats and as big as a hens egg.
 Then there is the unpublished Shah diamond of 96 carats bear ing Arabic inscriptions of the 18th century. It used to hang above the Persian throne, but was given to the Russian czar of hundred years ago to prevent an attack upon Persia in reprisal for the assassination or the RuSSlan ann bassador to Persia.

Sport ,S1a11ts ALAN J.0oUlD

Distance oft lends entertainment, but there is no need of telescope to determine, even at this long range, that the two outstanding track and field teams of 193o in college ranks are assembled at Southern Califor- mia and Stanford. These two well known institutions of higher lcarning-as well as higher jumps ard bigger athletes-wound up the football season with considerable flourish, chiefly at the expense of Eastern talent. They will come East in May with track teams of such extraordinary strength that they may turn the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. championships at Cam bridge into a private duel.
 The boys on the Pacific Coast have already started working on their dope-sheets. I have in hand an analysis of the rival Trojan and Cardinal squads by Maxwell Stiles, the Los Angeles Examiners expert observer.
 Max points out that while South ern California probably has the Createst dual meet" team assem- Jed since the war, with balanced length right down the line of events. Stanford has concentrated lower in a few events that may prove more effective in the I. C.. i A meet in the East.
 In other words S. c. depends chiefly on runners, murders, jump CTS and javelin tossers, talent that may be more subject to upsets, whereas Stanford has points in the bank with such men as Ro- inert and Krenz supreme in the weight tossing features.
 Potentially, Stiles figures South ern Cal can pile up 49 points at Cambridge, if Frank Wykoff leads the sprint parade, Welsh and Payne come through in the hurdles, Mor- jensen wins the javelin and the jumpers do their stuff. He dopes Stanford to score 42 with Rothert and Krenz assured at least IA ano possibly IS points in their special ties. the shot and the discus, 1T addition to probable high scoring by the rugged Hec Dyer in the sprints and Podge Smith, a much improved hurdler.
 It does not take much to upse track dope. As Stiles points out "hurdlers have a habit of falling down over barriers. sprinters pull muscles, broad jumpers and higl jumpers have their in and ou days and the javelin throw i never as sure as the shot or dis cus.'
 Nevertheless Southern Californi; is the only Pacific Coast squad tha aas succeeded in tlifing the pre- mier Eastern title with nor strength in the track events thai in the field features. Dean Crom wells agile young men did it il 1925 and 1926. They may turl the trick again, with sufficien speed to offset their rivals brawr

Alaska and the InternatiOnalists.
Seattle fost-Intelligencer.)

Internationalism is peing carried too far-north
 A. E. Karnes Superintendent of Schools of Ket- chikan Alaska, told the National Education Asso- cation that 1t should restore geography to proper focus in the schools.
 During the last year." he said, i've re-
 ceived enghtening communications from
 luncheon clubs in Minneapolis and Texas
 Both of them said their clubs had formed
 committees on international relationships
 and they wanted to get in touch with Alaska
 and all foreign countries"
 In other letters Alaska placed in Canada or in the Yukon.
 Both the frivolous and the cynical will say that this adds the last and finishing touch to the por- trait of MT. George Babbtt.
 AS a matter of fact, it merely shows that the great American luncheon clubber's zeal for friend ship is greater than his knowledge of geography. The Territorial spread of friendiness should go on though occasionally it may lead into geographical error.
 Even if these letter writers succeed in thrust ing Alaska out of the American commonwealth at least it must be said for them that they have placed Minneapolis and Texas definitely and spirit Iually in the Union.
 There is little practical difference between think ling Alaska is foreign country and treating it like lit is foreign country, the difference being that If 1t were foreign country the internationalists lof the United States would that it got some lof our money. Being a part of America, 1t must struggle along as neglected stepchild, pouring its wealth into the United States receiving little in return.
 The friendly gentlemen of Minneapolis and Texas are not the only who should realize that Alaska is a part, potentially vastly rich part of the United States of America. and treat the great Northern Territory and it's enterprsng people accordingly.

CONTRIBUTE TO IMPERIAL CONNER
 CAL UNION.

The Hawey- -Smoot tariff measure has given fresh impetus to the movement in Great Britain to form an Imperial commercial union which would provide practically free trade within the British Empire nations with high tariffs against all other countries. On July 4th, group of powerful English bankers issued manifesto which the London Post halls as the end of free trade in England The bankers believe that Canada and the other British Dominion can supply most of the foodstuffs and raw materials that England has been buying in the United States and other foreign countries and that the British factories supply the colonies with the manufactured goods they have been purchasing in the United States and elsewhere.
 British statesmen feel that the United States is so thoroughly committed to the high tariff policy that they must lose most of their American market in the end, and they look with longing to the American sales of billion year to Canada They figure if the United States is to shut them out they must do someting to make up their losses by increasing exports to their own colonies In return they must deny their markets to the United States and give them to the colonies a recproca. basis

BOOSTING ALASKA PULP AND PAPER.

There is a lot of significance, particularly to Alaska in the action of Prime Minister Taschereau' Liberal of Quebec and Prime Minister Ferguson, Conservative of ontario in forcing the International Paper Company to advance the price of newsprnt five dollars ton and the resulting recommendation of the Federal Trade Commission that
 Government owned timber lands and water
 power sites in Alaska be made available
 to domestic owned companies on liberal
 terms of development of the paper industry
 in Alaska and that Government depart
 ments continue experiments with manufac-
 ture of paper from farm waste products
 The report said that while International Paper Company sells only about 20 per cent of news print consumed in the United States, other do- mestic manufacturers generally follow its lead in prices.
 The commission also recommended that publish CTS of small daily and weekly newspapers, wherever possible set up machinery for purchasing their re- quirements a cooperative basis to get the benefit of the manufacturers contract prices for paper in carload lots.
 In passing on to the main points might say that The Empire gets the benefit of contract price for three carload lots year
 Of course the principal significance to Alaska is the recommendation that liberal terms be allowed paper manufacturers in purchasing Alaska timber and water power. It makes it clear that the pulp and paper business of this Territory will soon be one of the largest of industries
 But to the country generasiy probably the most significant thing in the premises was the threat of disciplinary action by the Ontario and Quebec Prime Ministers that induced the American owned International Paper Company raise newsprnt prices With an American tariff that is likely to bear down heavily on Canadian products, the evidence of the ability of Canadian officials to retaliate and their disposition to do so make it clear that our manu- lecturers must have independence from the pro- ducers of raw material in Canada, even where the producers Americans
 The feasible way to get independence as far as newsprint is concerned is to manufacture suffi- cient quantity in the United States to cause the Canadian producers to become anxious about mar ket for their product. It is estimated by the Forestry Bureau that Southeast Alaska forests can be developed they would produce in perpetuty 100000 to l500000 tons of newsprint per year This development would require the investment of $4O000 00000 or $500 100000, and give petpetual em- polyment to 25O00 to 40000 men. It would ado 100000 to 100000 to the population within very few years

Heartening News from Washington.
(Ketchikan Chronicle.)

 It is fitting that on the eve of the Fourth lof July should receive such heartenng news as that which tells of the Federal Trade Commls- sions boost to the imminent development of Alas kan paper mills. Briefly the Commission recom- mended to the Senate that steps be taken to as sure the immediate establishment of mills in Alaska.
 The reason for haste, pointed out by the Commission, is the attitude of the Canadian news print industry which, coerced by two Prime Min isters, has raised rates $5 ton. Because almost all of the American-used newsprint comes from Canada publishers in the United States are hard hit.
 As has been pointed out in The Chronicle on repeated occasions previously, long as the United States depends upon Canada for it's newsprint the publishers subject to bankruptcy or prosperity at the caprice of foreign government and for eign industry. At any time more drastic action than the mere increase in price might be invoked. For instance, an order in Council could prohibit the export of ,newsprint to American markets And as long the United States has not taken steps to utilize tiie pulp timber within her own borders she has alternative, but must dicker as best she with those whose interests and ambitions differ from
 That is why the Federal Trade Commission has taken the action told of in news reports today Members of the Commission recognize the nstabil- ity of dependence upon a Canadian market. They recognize the imminent necessity of utilizing the distinctly American product that Alaska has 10 offer
 rms IS well. It haS long been known that Southeast Alaska can supply at least quarter of the American newsprnt demands in perpetuity. And economic conditions warrant this devel- opment.
 Such reasoning is not local boosting, for 1t is an attitude recognized without the confines of the Territory. It is recognized by the Forest Service It is recognized by the powerful Federal Trade Commission. It is recognized by at least two strong y financed whose definite and final ap- pcations for power permits and timber assured immediate acceptance
 So Alaskans may well be cheered. Particularly can Ketchikan add another degree of confidence to the optimistic reports heralding the early estab- ilishment of a paper mill within or near the city
