GERMAN COLLAPSE
BELIEVED AVERTED
London Views Debt Proposal
as Ending Peril of Revolt
in Putsch by "Reds."
BY DEWITT MACKENZIE.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 22.-President Hoover's
sensational Intervention in the German
financial crisis is said in. high diplo-
matte quarters in London to have
averted strong likelihood of the over
throw of the present German govern
ment and the substitution of q gov
ernment composed OF Communists or
other elements opposed to the present
regime.
1t is said that such a collapse would
have caused no surprise in London, nor
would Great Britain have been sur
prised had the overthrow been attended
by force.
Indeed, in unofncial quarters it had
been rumored recently that an anti
government putsch actually had been
planned.
Collapse Believed Averted.
Oficial quarters in London refused
to take cognizance Of such rumor,
but at the same time they said that
the foreign of1ce had been watching
the political situation in Germany
with deepest anxiety for considerable
period.
This grave political position was in
extricably linked with the tottering
finances Of the country.
circles that whatever danger there may
have been Of collapse of the present
German government it probably had
been averted by the American move.
About fortnight ago, at the time
of the visit of Chancellor Bruening and
foreign minister Curtius Of Germany to
London, a report was prevalent In
financial circles in Paris that an anti
government putsch was about to take
place in Germany.
European Disaster Avoided.
Considerable financial transactions
are said to have been effected on the
strength of this report. Whether there
was basis for this report. has not de-
Veloped.
Authoritative observers here are of
the opinion that President Hoover
intervened at exactly the .psycho@
logical moment. They say that possibly
earlier Intervention would not have been
so effective. but add that any further
delay might have been catastrophe.
The belief is expressed that had Ger
many collapsed financially. with the
possible substitution of an extremist
government. the whole of Central Eu-
rope would have been involved. In this
connection it is pointed out that only
last week Austria had hairs-breadth
escape from the economic chaos through
the Intervention Of London with loan.

Jean Jules Verne, grandson of the French novelist pr. Hugo Eckner and Simon Lake were present at the ceremony. The use of the ice, Sir Hubert said, was in deference to the law.
 Commander Donald B. MacMillan, arctic explorer, declares that the proposed cruise is the most hazard ous ever attempted He said that to reach the North Pole will be only by chance because navigation is de- pendent on the sun, moon and stars and when submerged the navigator will be unable to get navigation points. He said there is no chance to escape if the submarine is caught in an ice pack.

Pay Last Respects To Senator Dunn Who Died Last Week
VACANCY IN LEGISLATURE TIC GO UNVEILED UNTIL NEXT ELECTION, SAYS GOVERNOR

With representatives of the Ter ritorial government, both houses of the legislature, Pioneers of Alaska, United Spanish War Veterans, and people of the town of Ruby, where he resided many years, attending funeral ceremonies for the late Sep- ator John w. Dunn, veteran Alaska legislator was held in Shrine Temple in Juneau Sunday.
 The rites were held under the auspices of the Masonic order, of which he had ben member for many years. The pallbearers were Senators L. c. Hess, A. J. Lomen and R. N Sundquist, and Repre- sentatives J. E. Johnson, George Hellerich and A. N. Nylen.
 Senator Dunn died Thursday af- ternoon of last week from a stroke of paralysis, after an illness of less than one week. He is survived by three brothers, Charles, Frank and Arthur, and sister.

Charges Govt. With Shirking Duty To Natives Of. Alaska
REP. FOSTER WOULD AVOID BURDEN OF CARING FOR THE WARDS OF FEDERAL GOVT.

Attacking the policy of the Inter for Department ns one that seeks to avoid the responsibility of a great proportion of its wards" the aboriginal peoples of Alaska, and "to place said burden upon the Ter ritorial Government a memorial was introduced in the house today by Representative Frank H. Foster urging a relaxation of that policy and asking that federal appropria- tions to care for these wards be in- creased "to an amount proportions ate to the ratio the Alaska Indian population bears to the total number of such wards of the government as a whole"
 Allotment Is Unfair
 For more than a century, it is re- cited in the memorial, the federal government has followed the policy of aiding such people through res ervations, grants of land, assistance in the purchase of farm machinery and equipment, maintenance of schools and hospitals, aid to the poor and needy, and through liberal appropriations for other forms of relief.
 The Interior Department supply act for the next fiscal year carries a total of $22,OOO,OO0 to carry out this policy, but despite the fact that the Alaska Indians are one-seventh of the total number, they have been allotted but $1,125,000, or about one-twentieth part of the total fund.
 Due to certain discriminations through the absence of treaty agree ments, it is charged the Alaska In- dians have been deprived of some of their most valuable possessions, including hunting and fishing ter ritory, without compensation.
 Attacks Educational Bureau
 The memorial criticizes the Alas ka Division of the Bureau of Edu- cation, alleging it is inefficient and incompetent It quotes Secretary of Interior Wilbur as saying that it was the policy of his department to turn over to the various states and territories responsibility for the con- trol and operation of the schools and hospitals for the Indians This policy, Mir Fosters arraignment as- serted, has been in effect for some time in this Territory to the great disadvantage of Alaska, increasing it's school costs and otherwise af- fecting the local educational system adversely.
