DELEGATE DECLARES ALASKA DEFENSE IS
 GOVERNMENT DUTY

It is the duty of the United States to provide adequate de- lenses for the Territory of Alaska, regardless of any act ion or lack of action at the pre- liminary naval conferences in London.
 This was the emphatic dec- laration made by Alaska Dele gate Anthony J. Dimond in commenting II statements from London that the United States delegation had warned the Japanese that if they scrap the Washington naval treaty of 1922 this country may be forced to fortify its Pacific po- sessions.
 Delegate Dimond declared it would be folly for the United States to continue to permit Alaska to ''lie defenseless," as it has done in the past.

SILVER AGAIN SHOWING
 STRONG UPWARD TREND

Indications of further in- creases in the world price of silver are shown in a renewal of the upward trend during the past few days after an extend ed period of slowly declining prices.
 As a result of the uplift movement, which is apparently based upon recent steady de- clines in silver offerings, a new five-year high was established Monday in London, when the metal was quoted at 25A pence an ounce, an increase of 1A pence over the preced- ing Saturday quotation. The metal was also active on the Montreal silver exchange, an advance of 23s cents to 55.35 cents an ounce being reported.
 At the close of the Canadian market Monday contracts for December futures were turned over at 55.60 and January and February brought 55.95 and 56.35 respectively. March was bid at 56.75, April at 56.95 and June at 57.40, with offer ings reported very small.

 From Customs Service

R. w. J. Reed, deputy coll ector in the U. s. customs serv- ice in Alaska for more than 30 years, retired from the service on October 1, according to ad- vices received by the Herald this week.
 In addition to being in charge of the customs office at Nome for more than two decades, MT. Reed was in charge of the Wrangell office some four or five years before his retire. ment, which was occasioned by his having reached the statu- tory age limit.
 MT. Reed was well known T. Hyder, having on two occa$- ions in recent years relieved the regular incumbent.
 Having laid down the cares of office, MT. Reed and his wife, who is also we'll known locally, will spend the coming winter in Southern California and return to Puget Sound in the spring to make their future home in that section.
 The departure of the genial couple from Alaska will be deeply regretted by great host of friends, to whom their friendship and association was a pleasure that memory will ever recall with affectionate regard.

Scanty Silver Offerings
 Slow Purchase Program

Huge imports of gold and scanty offerings of silver on the international market have combined to slow up the prog ress of the Treasury depart ment toward maintaining a 8 to 1 ratio in gold and silver holdings, according to treasury officials.
 Under the program ordered by the last Congress, 33 1-3 cents worth of silver must be acquired for every dollars worth of gold received to keep the required ratio. In addit- ion, huge amounts of silver must be bought to bring the original silver holdings to the required relationship with gold stocks.

Carlo S Latest Here

The role that Greta Carlo por-
trays In her new Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer starring picture. Queen
Christina" now on view at Loew's
Palace, is similar in many respects
to her own glamorous personality.
The picture was produced after
ambitious preparations were outlined
for its filming with Walter Wanger
at the helm as the producer. Critics
are unanimous in the opinion that
the picture affords Carlo the great
est Characterization she has yet es-
sayed.
Doubly of interest, the production
also marks the return of John Gil
bert to the screen and his reunion
with Carlo after a picture separa-
ton of five years.
Carlo had the story of Queen
Christina" in mind for several years
and explored deeply in Stockholm
archives during her recent visit to
Sweden to study the character she
was called upon to play.
Queen Christina has been de-
scribed as a seventeenth century
woman who lived a twentieth CEN
tury life. On the throne she was
a spectacular figure. She disdained
the finery of femininism for the
more mannish garb of her military
rand and haraSsed her palace adj
visers throughout her unconven-
tional interludes.
1t is during an incognito Jour-
ney that she meets a handsome
Spanish envoy. portrayed by Gill
bert. and permits herself TO fall
madly in love with him. When he
finally reaches the royal court to
seek diplomatic favor. he is amazed
to see the girl he had met sitting
on the throne.
Christina was a woman who
might have lived today, so modern
were her views and modes of liv-
ing. She was a ruler and SOL
der. Not until she fell in love cid
she Startle her court with her fond
ness for gorgeous clothing and
jewels.
The picture, directed by Reuben
MamOulian. has a cast that includes,
besides John Gilbert. Ian Keith,
Lewis Stone. Elizabeth Young. c.
Aubrey Smith. Reginald Owen,
Georges Renevent. David Terrence,
Gustav Won Seyffertitz and Ferdin-
