P0ST0FFTCE DIST RIBUTED
 BIG MAIL ON CHRISTMAS DAY

The Wrangell postoffice is not of sufficient size to rate distribu- tion of mail on Christmas Day, nevertheless, the community en- joyed that service Tuesday.
 Postmaster B. Y. Grant got up in the cold and dark at 4 o'clock Christmas morning to receive the mail from the steamer Northwest ern, consisting of 65 sacks of par eel post, | 5 sacks second class and three pouches of first class mail.
 He was joined shortly after by Mrs. Grant and Miss Jean Grant and the three worked until II O. clock when the delivery window was opened for the accommodation of the public.
 The three pouches of first class mail contained approximately 5000 pieces, the greater part of which were Christmas cards. These made the task of distribution three times as difficult as ordinary letter mail for the cards, being all shapes and sizes, were hard to separate and hold for quick distribution.
 As a result of the service by the postmaster and clerks, Christmas packages, greeting cards, letters from friends and home folk in dis tant parts of the world, were re- ceived by the patrons of the Wran- gell postoffice on Christmas Day instead of the following day.

100 Families to Come
 North in Few Months

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 22- Plans for colonization of the fer tile valleys in Alaska with far mers from the drought-stricken areas of the states today were said by Delegate A J. Dimond to have been given definite approval by federal officials. The first move ment will be to Matanuska valley. a short distance north of Anchor age, the delegate stated.
 Dimond disclosed the intention of the government after a confer ence with Dr. Ernest Gruening. director of the bureau of territories and insular possessions, who has been studying the proposal for several months.
 iHomesteads Offered
 Under present plans approXi- mately 100 families will be taken to Alaska, probably next spring, and offered homesteads and finan- cial aid to carve out new homes from new lands.
 Plans for colonization of the Territory have not advanced suffi- ciently to determine how or from where the settlers vii be chosen. the delegate said, adding that he has received numerous letters from residents of middle western states asking about the possibilities of homesteading in Alaska.
 Dimond said that similar coloni- zation movements are being con sidered for the Homer and Fair banks regions.
 Strategic Location
 Delegate Dimond described Mata- nuska as the most fertile land I ever saw and a region strategically located for experimentation as 1t is close to Anchorage and is on the Alaska railroad" Anchorage, he said, provided an ample market for farm products.
 He said that the settlers would be given tracts of land sufficiently large to maintain themselves, and that funds would be supplied to them while they are building homes and clearing lands, as well as to purchase necessary equipment and stock
 To make the venture a success, Dimond said, any surplus Anchor age failed to take would be shipped to Fairbanks, the northern termin- al of the railroad, and other cities in the Territory.

AMSTERDAM - That not only the airplane M.

This explained circum- stances of the machine being found in such an unsuitable, dangerous locality, where pilots would never have attempted even an emergency landing had they been in control of the plane at the time of the disas- ter. The plane was a Holland trans port. carrying passengers, enroute to the Dutch East Indies.

W-Considerable uneasi- ness is evidenced in official circles and public opinion here by the eff fleets in economic fields which
 Franco-Russian rapprochement is having for Poland. Over 50 percent of Russian steel orders received here up until a few months ago have now been transferred to France, and about the same per centage of orders have been lost by the textile industry, with the result that the ratio of trade with the Soviet Union, which last year was to 1 in Poland's favor, has now swung around to only 5 to 4 in Poland's favor. The reason for this sudden change is regarded by Polish economic experts as being

Herring Reduction Men
 State Their Viewpoint

Expressing the viewpoint of the herring packers in Alaska in regard to the activity of the Alaska Troll tion of herring reduction plants in the Territory, the Pacific Herring Packers association in Seattle has sent out the following letter to the Alaska chambers of commerce.
 We are advised that your hon orable body has been requested to endorse a resolution of the Alaska Trollers association recommending the abolishment of herring reduc- tion plans in Alaska. AS a move of this. nature threatens our very live lihood as we'll as making our large investment in plants and equip ment worthless, we take this means of presenting the following argu- ment against such an unfair pro- cedure which is of benefit to no one and materially reduces the Ter ritorys revenue and volnme ot business.
 Alaska herring reduction plants are operated in conjunction with herring salteries, utilizing herring of either too small size or of quality not suitable for packing marketable salt herring this quality being largely governed by the quality of the packs available in foreign packing centers.
 The quantity of herring avail able for reduction purposes depends upon size of fish caught and the districts where the operations are carried on.
 In certain districts of Alaska species of herring is found of which only small percentage attain packing size and in these districts there are consequently more herring used in the reduction plants.
 Were reduction plants not per mitted in these districts of small herring they would not be util- ized at all as the proportion of suitable salting fish is too small to permit the profitable operation of salteries only. This is verified by the fact that there are no ex- elusive saltery operations in these districts.
 While herring meal and oil is produced from herring not market able as human food in it's original form, herring meal is an indirect human food, all of it being used as poultry and stock feed. In this manner it supplies many of the necessary vitamins, proteins and minerals such as caldium, iodine and bone phosphate which are inn possible to obtain by straight grain feeding.
 Fish meal has become indispen- sable to feed millers in mixing their best formulas. This source of poultry and stock feed proved in valuable this year when foodstuff is at premium as a result of the drouth. One evidence of the abso- lute unfairness of the attacks made on the herring industry is the con- stant reference to herring meal as fertilizer
 Anyone who would take the slightest trouble to find out the facts will know what a misstate- ment this is. There can be no pur- pose in repeating such a statement (Continued on Page Twol

ETHIOPIANS FEAR ITALIAN INVASION; APPEAL TO LEAGUE

GENEVA - That the Abyssinian government fears recent recon naisance by Italian military planes over Abyssinian territory foresha- dows preparations for new Italian attacks was voiced in a telegram of further protest to the Leauge of Nations Thursday. Flights by the Italians were alleged to have been made over frontier districts near Gerlogubi, which is one of the places where incidents of Decem- Der took place, and was the scene of further collisions between Italians and Abyssinians a few days ago. Though stressing that the lat est incident has necessarily in creased the tension along the Ital- ian-Abyssinian frontier, the Abys- sinian government in a new tele- gram does not base its protest on any definite. article of the League covenant, but in League quarters it is believed that Abyssinia will take this step at the next session of the League Council.
 ROME-Emphatic denials of all Abyssinias charges is Italy's an- swer to the Abyssinian govern ment's latest telegram to Geneva. In an official statement published Thursday, the Italian government disclaims any intention of under taking military operations against Abyssinia, and dtsmisses Abyssin- ian government fears as groundless. It denies that troops from Italian Somaliland ever entered Abyssinian territory. The statement alleges that the reverse was true the Abyssinian attachments have at tackled Italian frontier posts, for which Italy demands compensation from Abyssinia. After declaring that until such compensation is forthcoming, Italy will refuse to resume negotiations with the object of definitely establishing a from tier. The statement concludes by asserting that the disputed terri tory is Italian, having been occu- pied by Italian troops some years
