LOCAL CH AMBER CREETS SENATE. AT NOON LUNCH
Capacity Attendance Wel- come Upper Branch of
 Legislature Today

z With an attendance that packed the luncheon room at Baileys Cafe, the Chamber of Commerce today was host to Gov George A. Parks, members of the Territorial Senate and some of the Territorial offic- ials. Speakers were Gov. Parks, Senator R. s. Bragaw and H. L. Faulkner, with John w. Jones, President of the Chamber acting in the role of toastmaster.
 Allen Shattuck, President of the Senate, formally introduced his col leagues Senators Lomen and Fraw- ley, Second Division; Hess and De- Vane, Fourth Division; Campbell, Third Division, and Walker, First Division, of the upper branch of the Territorial Legislature, each of whom responded briefly. Other guests were Attorney General James s. Truitt and Commissioner of Education A. E. Karnes.
 fralSeS the Leg1Slature
 Calling attention to the fact that this year the Alaska Legislature comes into it's majority as it held its first session in 1913, the Governor complimented that body highly for its sanity, progressiveness in leg islation and the soundness of its fiscal policies. .,"The efficiency with which it has functioned, and the care it has used in making appro- priations is evidenced by the fact that Alaska has no debt of any kind It is the only legal sub- division of the United States that is out of debt" he declared.
 The laws it has passed during the past 20 years, he added, com pare very favorably with the laws of the most progressive common- wealths. Its system of administra- tion, largely centered in the hands of the Chief Executive of the Ter ritory, is an elastic one, made necessary by the fluctuations in revenues from taxes based upon productions and net profits. The elasticity of the system, he asserted, had been a factor in the favorable results obtained.
 We'll Supported by Public
 Tt has been my experience that almost all of the Territory $ squarely behind the Executive De- partment in it's operations. What ever it has achieved is due to the support that has been accorded by the large majority of Alaskans," he said
 He predicted that same attitude toward his successor, John w. Troy We all know the incoming Gov ernor and he knows the Territory as well as any man. I am certain that he will be accorded the same support that has been given me 2
 Will Remain Alaskan
 The Governor, calling attention to his 26 years residence in the Territory, was proud of the fact that he is a real Alaskan "1 shall continue to reside in the Territory after I retire from of- flee as Governor. It is my home
 I shall visit this Chamber of Commerce, the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce, and those of the other communities that I may hap pen to visit. As I go down the streets of the various towns, I hope you will continue to greet me as George That is what I like"
 Points to Record
 Editorial warnings against lsgis- lative extravaganza, while well talk en and friendly, are not altogether well-based, declared Senator Bragaw, who pointed to the record of preceding sessions as indicating that the lawmakers have always stayed within the limits of Terri

WAR IMMINENT IN
EUROPE, REPORTS
WHEAT DELEGATE
Masses Want Peace,
Leaders, War"
Morgenthau

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-That war
is imminent in Europe is the report
brought back from the Interna-
tional Wheat Conference by Henry
Morgenthau, former United States
ambassador to Turkey, and close
adviser of President Roosevelt.
The wheat conference failed be-
cause all European countries are
producing wheat in great quantities,
often substituting the uneconon1ic
production of wheat, to create a war
reserve, the New York Times quotes
him as saying. He said the shadow
OF war and the fear of every other
country hung over all the delegates
to the conference.
while the masses wish for peace
and long for it, the leacsrs of the
countries have no honest wish for
peace" the Times quotes him as
saying.
"He spoke of the fallacy of ex-
pecting continued peace on the
ground that no nation can afford
to go to war in these times and
said that all a nation needs to do,
as demonstrated in 1914 and later,
is to declare martial law and seize
everything" says the Times.
Conditions are similar to those
of 1913. Europe is arming, Europe is
distrustful, and above all the inter-
nal affairs are such that to quiet
the people at home they have to
have a struggle. France is ready for
war"

Norfolk Workers
Force Hearing On
War Preparations
Anti War Delegation
to Expose MIRA, De-
nand Relief

ORFOLK. Va, Aug. 6.-Wide in
rest has been aroused among work
ers in Norfolk in a hearing next
Tuesday before Mayor Glover, at
which a delegation elected at the
August 1 anti-war demonstration
will present the demands of the Nor
folk workers for relief and against
war.
Coming from the demonstration,
the delegation forced the mayor to
hear their demands that the city
protest against the war preparations
of the Roosevelt government, endorse
the Workers Unemployment Insur-
ance bill and a Workers Relief Or
dinance drafted by the Unemployed
Councils.
Mayor Glover declared that the
United States was farther away from
war than ever, and that the National
Recovery Act is a blessing for all
workers. The delegation demanded
and obtained hearing next Tues
day at which to prove their conten-
tionS.
At this hearing they will show that
the only public works" expenditure
of the government is the order for
$3.50, 100000 in warships, which is ac-
companied by a cut of navy yard
workers from six days pay to five
They will point out that while tbs
MIRA. is supposed to guarantee the
right of collective bargaining, Roose-
welt, with the assistance of the ALL
misleaders, has ordered a cessation
of all workers struggles, and set up
an arbitration board composed of big
capitalists and a few labor "colla-
borators," whose decisions will be en-
forced by the armed forces Of the
government.
They will show that, just as the
government is doing in the ship
yards, all employers are introducing
further labor saving machinery anc
speeding up the work, to get the
same amount of production out Of
the workers on shorter hours. By
increasing production without in
creasing the workers buying power
this is leading to new unemployment

goods which the workers cannot buy

almost all union agreements are or
the basis of wages per hour, this alst

They will demonstrate that thu
whole Roosevelt program is aimed
to prepare the country for war while
at the same time attempting to stol
all workers struggles for their stand
ards of living, limiting their rights
and, except for few of the lowest
paid workers it introduces a sweep
ing wage-cut, both directly ant
through higher prices.
