JUNEAU'S AIRPORT-PART OF A ROUND-THE- WORLD SYSTEM.

Actual work on the Pacific Alaska Airways Juneau airport started Thursday. When finished it will be major landing field that will be thing of pride in Juneau and an important link in the great service this corporation proposes to give Alaska. In the of time it will be part of a round the world air
 The Pacific Alaska Airways, which recently acquired the equipment and business of the Alaska Southern Arways which had operated successfully in Southeast Alaska for three years has not halted it's forward march since it first to the Terri tory and took the company that was then the largest in the North The Pacific Alaska Arways has acquired other properties in Interior Alaska and at the Westward, operating from headquarters which it has maintained in Fairbanks for several years
 Much of the credit for the success of the forward marching company goes to Lyman s. Peck who did the pioneer work for the organization in Alaska. MT Peck is convinced of the importance of Alaska in world aviation, and of the importance of Juneau of an Alaska airport. Plans of the company are far-reaching and only time-and a not too distant tme-will reveal their extent.

Back of the Quarrel.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

The present controversy between Hungary and Yugoslavia somewhat quieted, centers about the asylum allegedy granted by Hungary to terrorists from Yugoslavia This fued heightened by the Yugoslav policy of depoting Hungarian residents But back of the immediate causes of the breach is the long standing question of treaty revision. Hungary, more than any other State in Europe is unreconciled to the territorial settlements of 1919 Her whole for egn policy and national objectives center about the obtaining of territorial justice by means or another.
 There is great deal of truth in Hungary's contention that she deprived unfairly of terri tories. A large given to Rumana, the population of which is almost wholly Magyar. Con- siderable areas of Yugosavia peopled by Hun garians in 1919 Italy alone has been consistently favorable to the revision of the peace treaties, to the end that Hungary,s demands might be met, at least in part.
 The Little Entente, now close-knit bloc with a common foreign policy, regards this demand on the part of Hungary direct threat to its existence Two of it's members, Yugoslavia and Rumania, stand to lose territories if the treaties are revised. Consequently, the three Little Entente nations have repeatedly threatened, singly and a group to declare if any attempt was made to modify the frontiers.
 If the question is left to Yugoslava and Hun gary, there is likelihood of treaty revision and relatively little danger to the peace of Europe It is the policies of Italy and France that will deter mine the issue. They have it in their power, prob ably to bring about gradual revision of the treaties by legal means. If, on the other hand, Italy cham pions Hungary and France Yugoslava, the result might conceivaby be to plunge the Continent into another conflict.
