FRANCE GIVES
SHARP REPLY
TO GERMANY
Daladier Questions Sincerity Of
Hitler's Professed Desire For
Disarmament.
SAYS FRENCH ARE READY
Belief Germany Will Return To
League OF Nations General In
European Circles.

PARIS, Oct. IT, W.P)-In a sting
ing, if indirect, reply to Chancellor
Adolf Hitler IS broadcast message of
last Saturday, Premier Edouard
Da Ladder today declared that
France "is assured of her defenses
Of territory and liberty.n
The premier's speech, received
with wild enthusiasm by the cham
Der of deputies, brought test vote
of confidence in the cabinet by the
overwhelming majority of 470 to
l2O.
France is not isolated today, "
he declared with a note Of triumph.
'On the contrary, France never
before had so many friends
throughout the world"
The premier took the opportun-
ity of parliament S reopening to
make his address to the nation on
the developments of the past week.
France he said, "is deter
mined to give the world an exam
pie of sangfroid in facing the prob
lem raised by Germany's brusque
departure from the league, because
France knows she is assured of her
defenses.'
The premier added that Ger
many's departure from Geneva
"makes more than ever necessary
our duty to balance the budget
eff Germany desires an under
standing with US, why does she
start by breaking with us? If Ger
many is ready to destroy her last
rifle and machine gun, as she con-
tends. why will she not accept an
effective, sensible plan for disar-
mament, like that proposed? AS in
the past, we will be in Geneva OH
the 26th of October, when the con-
ference reopens.'
The premier posed three ques-
tions for the German chancellor to
answer. They were: seiisii1''
l. eff you are sincere, why are
you avoiding an inspection of your
armaments?'
2. eff you wish for disarmament,
why do you start the negotiations
by walking out?" ~
3. eff you wish others to disarm,
why do you start by asking for in
creased armaments for yourself,
instead of offering to destroy your
machine gunS?"

BEVERLY HILLS, Oct. 16.
(SpeciaD-The best omen of in
ternational good will is that
conferences are getting shorter.
Now if they will do away with
'em entirely there will be no
war. The biggest one ever held
was at Versailles after the war,
and all the others held since
then was to fix something that
was done wrong at that one.
The biggest disarmament con-
ference was at Washington in
1922, and all the other disarma-
ment ones have been held to try
and fix what was done wrong at
that one, so the ideal thing is,
don't hold the original confer
ence, then you won't have to
hold any more to fix anything.
The same bunch of delegates go
to all of 'em anyhow, so just
put 'em on a government pen
sion, let 'em put on their high
hats. take movies of 'em and
play like they was at a confer
ence.

SECOND D|MONDI BILL FOR HOME RULE APPROVED
Chamber Backs Transfer of Fur and Game Control
 by Large Majority

Without a record vote and by an overwhelming m a jority, the Chamber of Commerce today en- dorsed Delegate Dimond's bill pro- viding for the transfer of the control of fur and game animals in Alaska to the Territory. This is the second of the Delegates Home Rule bills approved by the Chamber, the first having been the fisheries measure that was en- dorsed by it last week.
 There was minimum of debate today. c. T. Gardner, Vice-Presi- dent of the Chamber and former member of the Alaska Game Com mission, opposed endorsement on the ground that costs of admin istration, which have averaged less than $90,0O0 annually since 1926, are too heavy to be borne by the Territory.
 Many Guests Attend
 Guests at today's meeting in- cluded: Mrs. A. H. Nordale and P. c. McMullen, out of town mem bers of the Territorial Board of Education; I. Merrick, prominent Seattle attorney; Nick Beg and Hans Floe, well known cannerymen and w. R. Garster.
 Alaska's share in the $3,00O, ,OOO,- 900 public works measure just en- acted by Congress should be at least $10,O00,0OO, MT. Merrick told the Chamber. He suggested that special committee ought to be sent to Washington to aid Delegate Di- mond in obtaining an equitable proportion of the funds for local projects. "The one who goes after it the hardest will get the most money" he declared.
 MT. Merrick made the trip north

.R|SKO BEATS
KING AGAIN

NEW YORK, Feb. 25. U.P)-
Johnny Risko, veteran Cleveland
heavyweight. won his third straight
victory over eccentric King Levin
sky of Chicago last night in their
f0-round bout at Madison Square
Garden.
Although the 31-year rubber
man" won by large margin, the
decision was not unanimous. One
judge voted for the Chicago fish
peddler, while the other judge and
the referee cast their ballots for
Johnny. The United Press score
sheet gave Risko eight rounds, and
Levinsky two.
Risko landed 10 blows to Levin
sky's one. Now and then Levinsky
lashed out with wild swings, but
only few did damage.
Although there were few fu-
rious exchanges, the fight in gen.
eral was a slow, uninteresting ex-
hibition, and made little impression
on the small crowd of 1000 fans.
Risko weighed 1897 pounds; Le-
whisky 196.
The best bout of the night was
return match between Abe Field
man, 1T, New York, and Johnny
Rousseau, 180, Canada. Feldman
gave the Canadian a bad beating
and won easily the Ground decision.
A few weeks ago Feldman won, but
the margin was SO close they were
rematched. The east side Hebrew
floored Rousseau in the fourth
round, and the bell saved him at
the count of seven.
