sume the responsibility of caring for those within it's borders who are unemployed, Alaska will not be confronted with the necessity of reSorting to bread lines.
 Should Be Avoided
 "On the other hand, if this is not done and the number of unemploy- ed in some of the larger towns is augmented, it is almost certain that they must adopt the above method of relief, and this should be avoided if possible Every com munity in the Territory should be able to provide means whereby as- sistance may be rendered to local residents during the coming win ter. This is the only logical way of meeting the situation.
 "The City of Juneau, through the American Legion and the Cham Der of Commerce, is making a can- vass to ascertain the number of unemployed, and a representative committee has undertaken to devise ways and means by which those who are in urgent need of relief can be given some work part time, which will enable them to support themselves until next summer. I believe if this plan is followed in all other communities, Alaska will be well able to meet all demands and will emerge from this period Of depression without having been forced to adopt bread lines or dole.
 This caliroc be achieved, how ever, unless every community and each individual is willing to as- sume their share of the burden. I am confident that this will be done. Your organization is in position to render the greatest as- sistance in bringing this matter to the attention of every con- munity in the Territory"
 Immediately on receipt of the Governors letter, MT. Whittier ad- dressed communications to all Cham bers of Commerce in the Terri tory requesting them to cooperate in giving effect to his suggestions.

RESENTMENT EXPRESSED

RANKING, Sept. 21-China has cried out against the Japanese oc- cupation of Southern Manchuria.
 Government officials, newspapers and individuals are expressing re- sentiment in various ways and par ticularly in this city where the feeling against Japan is running high.
 Official reports said the Japanese troops have evacuated KanchengtSa, near Chang Chun, terminus of the South Manchurian railway but other important cities in Man churia remained in the grip of the Empire.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 21.- The American Government looks upon the clash of the Japan and China troops in Manchuria as a conflict between individuals rather than Governments and accordingly sees no present ground for invoking the Kellogg -Briand pact for re- nunciation of war.
 The State Department made the announcement of the Governments views last Saturday night but ad- dsd that the Department was, how ever, watching events closely.
 HAWKING, Sept. 21.-A Chinese official dispatch from Kirin, Man churia, said Japanese troops have occupied that city.
