Covers Many Miles in Handling Indian Bureau
 Business in North

Returning from ofie or the most extensive inspection trips ever made by a government official through the territory, N. L. Troast, Archi- tect and District Superintendent for the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs, arrived in Juneau on the steamer Alaska. MT. Troast made the trip for the purpose of inspecting all PWA projects in the Interior, Northern and Westward districts for the Bureau.
 Covering thousands of miles by plane and steamer, among the communities visited by MT. Troast on his trip were Cordova, Copper Center, Fairbanks Rampant, Shungnak, Kotzebue, all by plane. From Kotzebue, he took the North Star to visit Kivalina, Point Hope. Wainwright, Point Barrow, Point Lay, Tigara, Shishmaref, and back to Kivalina. At Kiyalina he again took a plane and stopped at Kot- zebue, Kiwalik, Candle, Deering and Nome At the latter place he again boarded the North Star and made trip with stops at King Island, Diomede Island, Cape Prince of Wales, Tin City and Tel Ter.
 From Nome, MT. Troast visited Unanakleet, Shaktoolik, Koyuk, Egavik, White Mountain, Buckland, Baldwin, Igloo Point and Nunachek.
 PWA projects which he inspect ed, including new school buildings, roads, trails, clearing, draining and constructing of playgrounds, were located at Cordova. Copper Center, Wainwright, Point Lay, Diomede Island, Nome, Teller, Wales, Shis-. marif, Unalakleet, White Noun tain and Kivalina, and involved. the expenditure of a large portion of the $lO0,OOO PWA appropriation; to the Bureau.
 Diomede Island Work
 Among the most interesting places I visited was Diomede Is- land, where the Eskimos, under the direction of the Eskimo teach CT for the Bureau, have built walks, streets, steps and walls, all of cob blestones. They have also built a trail to the end of the island from the village and it all presents most attractive appearance. The new school house there, which was constructed by Steve Raymond, of Juneau, is now in use and is fine building. I also inspected new schools at Unalakleet, and Buck land"
 In addition to inspecting pro- jects already completed, MT Troast selected sites for proposed new school buildings at Shaktoolik, Tel Ter, Kotzebue, Kivalina, Point Hope. Wainwright and Point Barrow. He also selected the site for hospital at Unalakleet.

TOKYO, Japan, Dec. 19.- The Japanese Privy Council, the highest consultative body in the realm, today unani- mously advised E mpero H ir oh ito to abr0gate the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922.
 Many thoughtful Japanese leaders considered this step as representing a virtual con- firmation of the decision arr rived at long before hand. Those same leaders also ex- pressed the belief that the step was the most significant one taken by the empire e since the World War.
 The actual date of notifica- tion to the U nit e d States Government was not made known, but it generally is be- lieved here that there will be a postponement u n til t h e week between Christmas and New Years Day.
 Two years must follow the notice of abrogation before the present 5-5-3 ratio be- tween the U n i t e d States, Great Britain and Japan in naval strength may be form ally abandoned.

and consequently what American
traditions will be emphasized and
which forgotten DR.. Laughlin
said in speaking of the sovereign
right of every nation to determine
its immigration standards.
There are two important phases
of the immigration problem: first,
the regulation of aliens in the
United States as temporary visi-
tors-diplomats and persons here
legally for business or pleasure;
and second, permanent settlers.
DR.. Laughin pointed out that
it is the descendants of the latter
who will constitute integral parts
of the future population of the
country and therefore the United
States would be entirely within its
rights in setting up a high immi-
grafton standard.
At the same time, following this
principle, this nation should have
no objection to any foreign coun-
try forbidding Americans to settle
indiScriminately and rear families
in their territory.

SOV|E TS WILL.
'SP PRUCE Up
On MANNERS

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 18.
paign for "social polisho has
been started among Soviet youth
whose leaders no longer consider
rough dress and strong language
necessary signs of proletarian ideals.
Refined language, stylish dress
and that variety of attributes
known loosely as "good manners
are the goals now being sought by
young Communists.
The campaign for 'social pol
ish" is being sponsored by the
Young Communists League, an Or
ganization designed to prepare
Soviet youth for full membership
in the Communist party.
This new attitude is in sharp
contrast to that prevailing here un-
til recently. For many years after
the revolution necktieS, creased
trousers and stylishly cut clothes
were considered bourgeois. - They
marked their wearer as an imitator
of what was then regarded as the
foppery of capitalists. Rough clothes
and rough manners were consider
ed the marks of a true proletarian.
But this attitude did not apply
to the deeper culture of learning.
From the earliest post revolution
airy days there were set before
Soviet youth high ideals of educa-
ton.
Now, says "Komsomolski Prav-
da,' the organ of the Young Com
munist party, this inner culture
must be matched by outer culture.

GENERAL HAN
|S NICE NAN

PEIPING, China, Aug. 18. W.P)-
New methods OF governing as con-
stantly devised by General Han
Fu-chu of Shantung Province, are
coming to be the mode in Chinese
officialdom.
General Han, lord of all that is
surveyable in Shantung, a province
on China IS northern Seaboard, IS
a man known for his direct and
drastic methods of dealing with
the people who rule under him.
General Han established himself
in his province largely by Staying
all able bodied boys and men be-
tween 16 and Is in any district
where the peasants rebelled against
his rule. The result was scores OF
thousands of migrants, who made
their way into Manchuria in the
days before 1881.
Now. amid comparatively more
peaceful conditions, for the time
being, at any rate, General Han
amuses himself by travelling about
his province and seeing what his
subordinates are up to. If they
are doing anything he doesn It
like, which usually is collecting
taxes for their own pockets in
stead of for his, he most often lops
off their heads and goes on his
way.

NEW FARMER
ORGANIZATION
GAINS FAVOR

AMES. Iowa, Aug. 18. U.P)-
new agricultural organization-one
designed to occupy the spare time
OF the young farmer in the limbo
between the age of All club men,
bership and the time he joins the
farm bureau-rapidly is gaining
favor in Iowa.
No Centralized organization has
taken place yet, but numerous
small groups are scattered through
out the state. Started in the north
eastern part of the state about two
years ago, the groups now have
members in one-fourth of Iowa s
SO counties.
Members say that the groups,
caring for farmers of an age that
hitherto has been neglected in farm
organizations, readily gain recruits.
"When given the opportun-
ity, these young farmers have
shown an irresistible desire to learn
not only of the technical side OF
farming, but OF the economic and
philosophical sides as well,' said
George M. Strayer, president of one
of the groups.
Continued growth of the organ
ization, as we'll as an increasing
scope of activities. is predicted by
Murl Mcdonald, assistant director
OF Iowa state college extension SER
vice.
There is a very definite need
for comprehensive organization of
the older farm YOUTH he said.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. U.P)-
The battle IN The United States
over the immortality" of motion
pictures will have little effect upon
their use in foreign countries, ac-
cording to officials who study the
movie export business.
Hollywood recently has been
forced into a cleanup campaign
by the many religious and social
organizations that threatened
movie boycott.
This controversy has caused a
great many excited accusations and
denials, but from reports to the
department Of commerce it is evi-
dent that no foreign censorship is
more interested in stamping out
political, religious, social, and ra-
